Chapter 80

"How are you feeling? Do you want water? Are you hungry? Oh how stupid of me, you need the painkiller isn't it? Of course you... " "Stop it Eldon let me speak!" I shout exasperated and move back from his hold glaring at his arm which is still placed on my waist.  His hand quickly retraces back at my glaring and he stops speaking and looks down at me worriedly. "Are you sure you are fine?" he asks softly before pulling his bottom lip inside his mouth and sucking on it. His eyes still on my face as if trying to scrutinize me.  "Yes" I breathe and move across the bed to go to other side of bed and take the glass placed on the bed side table.  "Water, yes of course!" Eldon nods and quickly stands up holding the glass of water. "Thanks" I croak out gulping the liquid. Eldon pauses and looks up at me smiling softly. He raises his hand and wipes my lips before softly brushing his thumb against my lips.
