Every day, the routine with Cristiano was the same

Every day, the routine with Cristiano was the same. I brought him breakfast and we chatted, then he would flirt and I'll leave flustered. At lunch, we'd chat again, he'd flirt, and I'd leave. In the evening, I'd give him his food and medicine, we'd chat, and then I'd leave.

It's later in the week, which means it is time for the patients to have activity time to keep simulated. It's been discussed to separate Cristiano from the group until the therapy session. I learned that he doesn't get along with other patients. I wonder why he's like this. Toward everyone else, he's cold and aggressive, but with me, he's calm. I walked to his door and opened it. He the sound of the door opening, looked up, and saw my figure enter the room, and a smile immediately spread across his face. He stood up, his eyes fixed on me, and he walked towards me.

"Ah, darling, you're back. I was starting to think you were avoiding me."

"Sorry, I had to take care of another patient." He arched his eyebrow, and something flashed in his eyes. Jealousy. "But I'm here to take you to the activity room."

He raised an eyebrow at my words, surprised by the suggestion.

"Ah, the activity room? Are you sure that's a good idea, darling? I might cause some chaos in there."

"You'll be by yourself as I watched. This was a request from the head nurse since you can't interact with the other patients. Now why is that?" I crossed my arms and raised my brow at him.

"Let's say people irritate me, and I'm a man who wants to be left alone...unless you are around." He smirked.

"You always want me around." I rolled my eyes. He chuckled softly at my response.

"Of course I do, darling. I can't help it. You're like a drug to me. I can't get enough of you." He said with a hint of possessiveness in his voice.

"Come with me, Cristiano; you're wasting your time." I turned to head out. He grinned at my eye roll, amused by my lack of patience.

"Yes, darling, I'm ready. Lead the way to this activity room." He followed me out of the room and down the hallway, his eyes fixed on me as I led the way.

"So, what kind of activities do they have in this activity room, darling? Will there be anything fun for me to do?"

"They have simulate board games, a workout room." He nods his head as you list the activities, a hint of boredom in his expression.

"Ah, simulated board games and a workout room. How thrilling."

"We have a library." He paused for a moment, a smirk on his face as he looked at me.

"Library, you say? That's more interesting. I do enjoy reading."

"You do! Oop." I quickly covered my mouth with my hand when I noticed my excitement was loud.

He laughed softly at my expression, amused by my excitement.

"Ah, darling, you look so surprised that I enjoy reading. Did you think I was just an uncultured thug?"
