Open Heart: MC X Sienna

Heart To Heart

Felix Alexander's POV

I glance away from her. Her question ringing in my ears "What happened back there?". Only if I would know the answer! I don't though.

"You're making me worried" she says, placing her soft hand on my bare arm. Oh, yeah I just remembered that I am sitting here without a shirt. I force a smile.

"Why are you worried? It was just because of excessive bleeding. I hardly remember what happened" Liar! You remember every bit of it.

"Oh! I didn't realise that you don't remember anything. You just had me worried to death. I still feel the shiver when I remember seeing you..." she bites her lower lip and does not say anything further.

No, I feel bad because I lied to her. That's unfair. So should I tell her the truth or no?

"Sienna... okay don't freak out but I remember everything. Sorry for lying before" I wait for a reaction but nothing comes. Should I be worried?

Since she hasn't gasped or thrown something at me yet, I continue "It is a bit childish but... I am afraid of dentists and when I was laying on that chair, chin up, facing the ceiling, I was reminded of my visits to the dentist's clinic as a child. I guess it was quite an involuntary reaction that came from me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that"

"Well, if it was involuntary then why apologize or feel bad about it? It's okay Felix" she smiles at me in her most charming way, making my breath catch. I want to but of course, can't smile in return. Oh! I remember now...

"I wanted to admire you for so long. I mean, for as long as I came back to my senses" she giggles upon hearing me. I am literally killing my urge to smile right now.

"I don't know if I'm allowed to but I'm feeling really proud of you! The way you handles my disheveled ass (she chuckles) and took care of me, it was beyond amazing. The calmness and cool-headedness you showed in the situation... it really amazes me. You have grown so much and you are such a confident Doctor now" I stop to gaze into her eyes, they are glowing with tears.

"Don't cry, please..." I whisper. A few tears fall but she instantly wipes them away. "I didn't appreciate you so that you would shed tears like that" I innocently murmur. She laughs, wiping off more tears.

"I wish I had my handkerchief but I kinda got it all bloody" and she laughs even more.

"Stop it! I might die laughing" she insists as she playfully punches my bicep.

"I'm being serious here and you are laughing. Not fair" and I give her an exaggerated pout.

"You're so cute with that broken nose of yours" she smiles at me.

"Am I?" I give her a nod for confirmation.

"Do you need proof?" she asks me.

"I might" I shrug innocently.

"Okay..." she says and reaches for her phone, in a second she turns on the front camera and shoves the screen towards my face.

"Damn it! Liar! I look hideous" I shout while she laughs.

"Lying has it's limits, Dr. Trinh" I playfully comment and she shrugs.

"I don't know. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and I find you very beautiful, Dr. Alexander" she winks at me. It has left me out of sorts.

"I find you beautiful too..." I tell her after a few moments of silence. I can feel it, it is both awkward and romantic. I look at her from the corner of my eye. She is smiling as well as blushing!
