Falling for You

Chapter 4

It had been a week since Ollie's operation, Zosia had been discharged a few days ago yet often came in and sat with Ollie, he had perked up a lot and was out of ICU knowing he was due to go home in a few days. There was one condition though, he had to have someone to care for him as he was still not strong enough for activities such as dressing himself.

"So you excited Ol, you get to go home soon?"
"Yeah but the last thing I need is some nurse looking after me and changing my dressings." Ollie moaned.
" I will make sure I tell her that then." Zosia laughed,
" She? You know who it is?" He frowned,
" Yeah, apparently she volunteered for the job." Ollie raised his eyebrows,
" Oh did she now? What can I say I'm a ladies man, can't blame her I mean look at me I'm the definition of beauty." He laughed.
"Alright Valentine get off your high horse."

"Come on tell me who it is?"
"Me." Zosia smiled.
"You? But your leg? And why?"
" I get my boot tomorrow so I can walk without my crutches and It gives me the chance to repay you for saving me." She smiled

It was a few days later and Zosia was helping Ollie getting changed back in his flat. She carefully removed his night shirt, but accidentally caught his shoulder. He hissed in pain,

"Sorry Ollie." He just smiled trying to block out the pain. She threw the shirt on the floor, and went to grab a new shirt but Ollie caught her arm.
"Zosh, thank you. I really mean it."

They caught each other eyes and Zosia avoided it by staring at Ollie's bare chest, she gently placed her hand on it and just looked down to the floor.

" I ended it with Seb, I couldn't carry on with it. I couldn't do it anymore Ollie." She whispered, "He would sit there and brush my hair but it didn't feel right, I wanted it to be you."

Oliver said nothing but gently pulled Zosia into a hug with one arm, before planting a kiss on her cheek, and brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes.

"You're so beautiful Zosh, so beautiful." Zosia looked up back into Ollie's eyes before leaning in and kissing him on the lips. It was gentle yet with passion, she had never been filled with so much love.
