He never left my hand. His grip tightened and became painful.
His pupils were impossibly dilated. The emerald green barely visible around his pitch black irises.
He needed to let go or I would have to kick him in the balls.
I really didn't want to physically harm a family member. But I'd do whatever to break out from his grip.
"Sir please let go" I said in a stern voice.
Hearing my statement he suddenly left my hand and backtracked until the back of his knees touched the bed.
For a good minute he just stared at me with his hands folded on his chest. His expressions were pensive, as if in a very deep thought.
As for me, I just stood by the door nursing my wrist against my chest .
The look in his eyes was scaring the shit out of me, his face emotionless, lips set in a straight line and eyebrows frozen.
I was about to turn around and run out of the room in full speed before a big friendly smile spread on his face.
"I understand. I just wanted to properly thank you for saving my twin, don't fret please" He said in his usual gentle tone.
"I didn't mean it in a romantic way, I just wanted to show how grateful I am. I was so scared yesterday and you were like an angel coming in and saving the day" He continued with his hand on his chest showing me his sincerity.
Okay, I probably overreacted and now I feel embarrassed.
He just wanted to thank me, honestly this wasn't the first time something like this happened. Last week a woman who's daughter was treated by me also had a similar reaction.
It was genuinely mean and rude of me to make him feel so awkward. But I wouldn't go anywhere with him. That's obvious. William would kill him. Literally
Shaking my head and forcing a friendly smile on my face , I replied "that's alright don't be so awkward. It was my duty and you can get me a coffee from the cafeteria of the hospital after all you're going to be visiting for some more days"
His smile was frozen in place as he ducked his head and said "that's a good idea. And please dont think I am a creep. I am just overwhelmed"
Okay I conclude once again that I overreacted. I shouldn't have made him feel bad for just thanking me. May be he shouldn't have used the word "date" but I guess he was just being thankful.
