Falling for You

Chapter 5

It had been a few weeks and Zosia was still staying at Ollie's but in the guest room, ever since the kiss he had been awkward with her, common chatter was the only thing that filled their conversation now days.

Zosia's leg had been cleared and she was due to go back to work in a couple of weeks but Ollie was still no better, he was still weak and still much very relied on Zosia to his annoyance. He wanted his independence back, but there was no sign of that changing.

Ollie woke up to find a note on the side of his cabinet.

Gone shopping, I will help you get to the shower when I come back.
Be back soon.

Zosia

Ollie sniffed his armpit and was repulsed,
" I really do stink" he moved to the end of his bed and whilst holding his shoulder heaved himself up. "See wasn't that bad was it Oliver? And now I'm talking to myself. Great."

He slowly walked towards his ensuite using the wall as a support. However he began to feel dizzy and as a result never made it to the shower as he collapsed. He was barely conscious yet he realised his shoulder was bleeding again, he became more dizzy before a bang startled him.

"Oliver, I'm back" He heard her ever growing steps come closer to his room, "I got you a present, you better-"

It was then she realised Ollie was on the floor
'For goodness sake Ollie what have I told you."
" I needed a s-shower" his breathing was shallow.
" Yeah and you should have waited for me you idiot. Right I'm gonna get you back to bed, hold on to me."

She grabbed his good arm and supported his weight before he flopped into bed. Once Ollie had his breathe back and his wound situation had been addressed, he finally realised what a stupid man he'd been.

"Zosia, I'm really sorry, for being awkward, for being an idiot, and for not just being me."

His blue eyes resonated within hers,

" Ollie you can't just pick and choose the moments you like me and when you don't, it doesn't work like that. One minute your kissing me, the next you don't want to be near me. I'm the one here Ollie helping you, no one else is. Me Ollie, me." He hung is head in shame, before Zosia walked out the room.
