Chapter 15

Alex's POV

"Please. I can do this myself. I'm not a baby you know." He whined cutely.

"Well you're starting to sound like one." I laughed gently.

He shot me the dirtiest look he could manage which was simply poking out his lip and furrowing his brow trying to look mad. It was honestly the cutest thing I had ever seen. I could never be scared of him. He was as ferocious as a fluffy bunny.

"It's been a whole two weeks since they attacked me. The doctor said that I am okay to move around and do all the things I used to do before this all happen. I mean I didn't get shot or anything."

"I know but I just like to be able to do things for you babe." I spoke softly reaching forward trapping him in my arms before he tried to get away.

Paul and I had been doing almost everything for him because truth be told we still felt a little guilty for letting him get out of our sight for far too long. Any longer and he would have been dragged out never for us to see him again and that wasn't something that I was prepared to face. Not even the idea of him being out of my sight for too long now scared me.

"Well stop doing EVERYTHING! I like to be able to feel useful every now and again."

"Babe you know that you are the most valuable person out of the three of us. You don't need to feel useful because you do enough as is."

"Like what? All I do is sit around while you two do everything for me."

"By being safe and letting us do everything for you we can focus on the bigger things that need to be taken care of. When we think that you're doing something that could be stressful or potentially dangerous for you it freaks us out and then when we get worried we don't function as well."

He looked a little stunned to see that I had this all planned out. But I was waiting for this question for a few days now considering he looked like he was about to snap about a week ago. I'm actually surprised he lasted this long without screaming at us.

"We love you and just want to see you happy."

His confused look instantly vanished as his head tilted to the side. The smile on his face grew large as he stared at me innocently. Leaning forward quickly he placed a chaste kiss on my lips and before I could respond he did it again and again.

"Whoa what's going on? One minute you're mad at me the next I'm being showered with kisses."

"You said that you love me."

"Umm...yeah I love you. I thought that it was already implied by the way I make love to you."

His cheeks automatically tinted as he tried in vain to hide his face from me by burying it in the crook of my neck. Laughing softly I pulled back just a bit so that I could see his lovely face. I loved to see his cute pale features dusted with a light blush.

"Don't look at me..." He moaned sadly. Reaching up and pulling down his hands away from his face I looked him straight in the eyes and asked him why.

"Why don't you want me to look at you? You're absolutely gorgeous even when you're embarrassed."

"Shut up." He mumbled quietly.

Kissing the top of his head I let go of him. He plopped down on the couch with his arms crossed over his chest. He was always so cute when he pouted. Staring forward he completely ignored me as I dropped onto the couch next to him.

"What's wrong babe?"

"I want to just go out and have fun without being babied. Can we please just go out and have some fun? All three of us?"
