His Proposal - MATURE VERSION (completed)✔️

Aleysa Goes Outside

I am woken at 8am, when Doctor Cruz enters the room and he looks at Aleysa. "How are you feeling?"

She smiles. "Good. Can I go outside today?" She gives him the puppy eye look and he laughs.

Doctor Cruz looks between Aleysa and I. "Sure, but you can't stay out there for too long. I'll have a nurse take you out shortly."

Aleysa looks at me. "I want Chloe to take me."

I kiss her cheek. "I'll take you out when I get back from breakfast."

She smiles. "Thank you."

I walk out the door and make my way to the cafeteria. I order a bacon and egg roll and a coffee.

When my order is finished I walk over to a vacant table and sit.

A guy enters the cafeteria and I notice it's the Ethan the security guard from Lusive. He walks over and pulls the vacant chair out. "I thought that was you, Chloe. What are you doing here?"

I look down at the food on the table and try to avoid eye contact with him. "I'm visiting someone. Can you please not tell anyone you saw me here?"

Ethan touches my hand. "Are you talking about the Boss?" I nod. "Why?"

I slowly lift my head and look at him. "I don't want people to feel sorry for me. Things have been bad this year and the best thing to come out of it is getting a job at Lusive."

He looks away for a moment. "I won't tell him. But you should know that Jai will figure it out sooner or later and when he does he will confront you. Jai isn't the type of person to stay out of something, especially when it's with someone he cares about. He doesn't trust many people, but when you showed up at the club he took a chance on you." His eyes hold onto mine as he continues. "He's not a nice guy to be around. Most of the guys and I steer clear of him when we have to. For some reason he wants you close to him. You are the first woman I've seen go up to his office. He usually does business in the office behind the bar, for some reason he used his private one for you."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"You seem like a good woman and that's the type of girl our boss deserves."

My face starts to heat up from his compliment.

I pick up my breakfast and start to eat. I change the topic. "I have to get back to the room in a minute."

"Are you going to tell me who's in the hospital? Whoever it is, I can tell you care deeply for them."

I push the chair back and rise. "I don't want to talk about it, Ethan. I'll see you tonight." I leave the cafeteria and make my way up to the room.

Aleysa's sitting in a wheelchair when I get up to the room. She smiles. "Can we go outside now? I'm sick of this room."

I laugh. "Sure," I push her out of the room and straight to the lift. The door to the lift opens and I step inside with my sister.

As soon as we get outside I walk along the path for a bit pointing at the leaves as they turn orange and start dropping off the trees.

Along the way she tips her head back. "I love being in the sun, Chloe. It's been awhile since I've been able to enjoy this."

A smile spreads across my face as I watch her laugh and she tells me to move faster while we're walking. I start to run with her in the wheelchair and she starts laughing.

This would be perfect if our brother was here to join us.

I stop the wheelchair next to a bench and I sit.
