Chapter Twenty-Eight

The day went by calmly for once.

For once, I laid in my bed peacefully—glancing out at the city view as I continued drawing in deep breaths and letting them out.

I could hear the crinkling of wrappers on the other side of the door—where Vic sat in my kitchen eating.

He had previously offered me some of the Trolli's, but I declined—unfortunately still unappeased by the idea of food.

Although, Nadia is not going to be happy when she hears about her missing Trolli's.

I'll have to buy her two new bags to distract her from the missing one.

I suddenly held my breath—now hearing the door to my apartment open.

But as soon as I heard the low murmur of her familiar voice, I relaxed back in my bed.

Listening to the two voices converse back and forth in a lowered tone.

Until suddenly I heard the patter of steps.

And the door to my apartment close.

Which made me furrow my brows—wondering if I was alone now.

Until a soft knock echoed against my bedroom door.

I quickly forced a hum, turning my head slightly when the door opened at my acknowledgment.

And revealed Tazmin.

Who walked to stand by my bedside—her dark eyes trailing every inch of my face.

It was silent for a few moments as she took in my state.

Until, she finally whispered, "You need to eat something."

I blinked a few times, but inevitably nodded, "Yes, I just—I'm tired," I forced out, hoping to buy myself time away from attempting to eat right now.

Tazmin nodded, glancing over to my nightstand where my empty cup sat, "I'll get you some water," she determined, suddenly grabbing the cup and briefly exiting my room.

Where I heard her put the glass cup in the sink, opening a few cabinets until I heard the fridge open and the rush of water from the dispenser.

And as she retreated back into the room and sat the water down—I noticed her beginning to take off her watch.

Which made me furrow my brows.

"What are you doing?" I whispered, watching as she got her Rolex unhooked.

Tazmin met my confused stare, "I'm going to lay with you," she explained, and my body almost immediately grew warm at the idea.

At the idea of us laying in the same bed.

Which was something we had never done before.
