Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 43 (Unexpected)

My eyes adjusted to the light as a light yawn escaped my dry lips. Taking in my surroundings I realised all the events that had taken place and a small frown sat on my lips. Pushing the thoughts away I looked up to see a peacefully sleeping Alex, a pout playing on his lips which brought a smile to my own. After taking in his hot appearance even in a hospital gown I lifted up his arm that was draped over me and groaned as my back cracked due to the sudden movement. Alex stirred a little as a completely stilled waiting for him to fall back into his drowsiness, and then bit back a groan getting out of the miniature bed. Curse these hospital beds! Evil contraptions! Spotting the jug of water I poured myself a glass and wet my lips enjoying the cold liquid running down my throat. Checking my wrist I realised that it was 12 in the afternoon which immediately resulted me on choking on the water I was currently drinking like a bloated whale!

'Hey Ani you okay?' Seth rushed through the door and rubbed my back while simultaneously taking the glass from my hands. I spluttered for a few more seconds before regaining my composure and nodding my head to indicate I was fine before he continued, 'You've got to take it easy okay?' He scolded me as I resisted the urge to role my eyes.

'I know..I know Doctor Ryans!' I teased putting on a posh British accent and sticking my tongue out. Yeah real mature of me wasn't it? Hearing a groan both mine and Seths heads snapped back in time to see Alex arousing from his sleep and clutching onto his back and what seemed to be a dead arm.

'Curse these stupid hospital beds! Idiotic contraptions!' He grumbled cracking his back and rubbing his eyes. His blonde hair was neatly messy and all over the place but in just the right way to make him look gorgeous. His olive eyes twinkled in the sunlight and his pale skin now showed a better glow then before. Fluttering his eyes a few more times his gaze flickered around the room until it landed on me and Seth who were currently paused between mid argument. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at his statement which was ironically almost the same as mine! Now 4 eyes were focused on me as I tried to contain myself.

'Is she ok?' Alex asked to Seth gesturing towards my giggling figure while Seth was still standing speculating my demeanour.

'Urm you know what...I'm not entirely sure...' He replied backing away from me slowly as if I would bite him any second now. They both were not sitting on the hospital bed staring at me as I stopped laughing and settled for a smile.

'Oo I know maybe she's on crack!' Seth exclaimed excitedly pointing towards me until he realised what he had said and narrowed his eyes into slits towards me, 'That better not be true!' He ended it with a dramatic gasp of indignation as I glared at him.

Just as I was about to retort Alex rudely interrupted me, 'You know what...she could be you know, it's easier to catch the moon then understand her,' he shook his head in disappointment as Steph walked through the door with flowers and cookies. She looked at me expectantly as I gave her a determined look before whispering 'Get them'

Immediately she threw the flowers onto the side table and placed the cookies down carefully before sprinting towards the two terrified boys who looked like a pair of deers caught in the headlight! I pushed Alex back on the bed and tickled him on the neck right under his ears which I knew was his weak point. He tried to control himself but squirmed underneath me before flipping me so I was underneath him.

'Oh now you're gonna get it,' he growled while winking at Seth who I noticed was also cornering a cowering Steph. I looked into his eyes fearfully trying to track his next move, to plot a plan of escape. Alex stared back, still leaning over me with eyes twinkling with amusement. I avoided his gaze feeling a little embarrassed as I knew Seth and Steph were also in the room. Biting my lips I lifted my eyes up to his and just before he could steal a kiss I slipped out of his old and watched him drop down to kiss the beautiful fragrance of the hospital sheets!
