Silvester sends Nadi a quick message informing her that he had reached the floor her apartment resided on then slips his phone in the back pocket of his slacks. The elevator doors soon open leaving him to smile as he gathers the few bags he had brought along with him.
It was now week two since Nadi had injured her shoulder. Since then Silvester had been stopping by every few days just to check up on her along with cook her home cooked meals since she was too stressed out to do it herself.
Once face to face with her door he knocks and patiently waits for her to open it. When it does Nadi wastes no time rushing into his embrace. "Hey baby, how are you?" He smiles and gently rubs her back then kisses the crown of her head before being pulled into her apartment.
"I'm doing okay." Nadi mutters as he places the bags down on her spacious island. "Did you get enough sleep?" Silvester inquires while removing the fresh ingredients from two of the three bags he had brought with him. Tonight Nadi had requested Thai Chicken Curry in coconut milk over a bed of jasmine rice. Silvester had spent the majority of his morning gathering the ingredients across town at a farmer's market since he wanted that vegetables to be as fresh as possible.
"I slept okay until I rolled over on my shoulder by accident in my sleep. It hurt sooo bad." Nadi whines and pulls herself up in the seat beside him while her honey eyes watch him unpack everything. He takes the fresh vegetables and stores them away in her refrigerator for later since first the two had to wash her hair.
"Do you still have the painkillers the doctor prescribed?" Nadi shakes her head and pouts. Her prescription was only for the first week since the drugs prescribed were too strong and after taking them for more then ten days straight there was a high chance of her body getting addicted to them. So now she was just pushing through the pain with the help of Tylenol and ice packs.
"Nope it was just for a week, two more weeks until I have to go to my primary doctor to get it checked out." Silvester nods and looks her way. He was still upset that she was even going through this because she didn't deserve it at all. "Well you're a third of the way there." He smiles, trying his best to speak with encouraging words only for Nadi frown.
"I know but I just want my shoulder to be okay, I can't even shower how I want to. Oh! Did you stop at Ulta to get extra hair ties?" Silvester nods and reaches for the third bag he brought which consisted of the small pack of hair ties she needed as well as a new container of conditioner and shampoo since she was running out of them both. His time in the store was beyond confusing since there was multiple options of the same products. The bright colors from different brands distracted along with confused him as he searched for the specific brand Nadi had requested.
"Oh you're the greatest!" Nadi leans over and pecks his lips a few times then stares into the windows of his soul. Even though Silvester was still being cautious with her after their talk Nadi had opened up more with receiving affection and was slowly getting back to her normal self while Silvester was left on egg shells. From her behavior she was over it, but it had still been lingering in the back of his mind along with the first conversation he had with his therapist, Lacey.
