Bad for you

Chapter 14

Ashanti's POV

My eyes slowly opened but I could feel the movement of texting beside me. Mikhail was focused on her phone typing away more than likely working from home since she is missing work because of me. I lowkey felt bad that I thought she ran away from me because from what I can see she clearly considers me a priority. I miss being able to cuddle like we did when I snuck out to be with her but still having her here was enough. I laid awake saying nothing until my stomach gave me away. She put the phone down and slowly turned to me.

"Are you hungry?" She asked me.

I nodded and she got up I assume she's gonna tell mommy. I tried going back to relaxing but I couldn't get comfortable without her being here. I sat up with my back to the headboard waiting on her to come back. Must've been the pills but soon I involuntarily went to sleep in that same position

A while later.......

I was being rocked awake softly and I opened my eyes to see Mikhail but her now familiar comforting scent welcomed me long before. She helped me into a better position but I could still feel the pain of being in one position too long. Now a norm to me as I struggle with coping.

She has a plate of curry chicken and white rice that looked absolutely delicious. My mouth almost watered from the anticipation excited by just the smell of the food. How did she know?

She placed a pillow behind me making me a little more comfortable. I enjoyed her just taking care of me. She then sat beside me.

"Is it okay if I feed you?"

She asked.... She respects me so much. I nodded and she started feeding me as I greedily enjoyed the meal.

"Mommy really put down hard foot man" I commented.

"I cooked for you, your mom was a little restless so I just asked her permission to use her kitchen" she told me and I smiled.

"Thank you" I told her appreciationbg her a little more. She kept asking me if I'm okay as I ate. It was comforting. It seems as if a chicken breasts because it was without bone and mi know Mommy nuh like boneless chicken.

She didn't eat just with back to the kitchen after mi clean the plate and come back with some Vitamin water. It didn't taste bad though I might allow myself to become accustomed to it.

"Ready for your medication?" She asked.

"No " I'm tired of taking painkillers. Soon I'll be an addict. Let the pain come in first.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused and partially upset. She looks so cute being upset with her nose itched up like that. I laughed at her face and instantly felt my hand from just a small movement.

She noticed the change in my behavior and went right for the painkillers that I now greedily took. I thanked her as she was about to give me water. And like the sun will rise my eyes closed 5 mins after taking the painkillers as if they were sleeping pills.
