Love The Psycho

Chapter 267: One step at a time 2

''Come on, don't be such a killjoy'' she stretched her hand and pulled him over to her side and he fell on top of her'

Her body tensed up and she licked her lips as she looked at him. Ronald's Adam's apple throbbed up and down, as he gazed at her lips. He slowly bent down to kiss her and she suddenly pushed him aside, ''sorry'' she said and ran into the bathroom to poke.

Ronald sat up and chuckled as he stared at the bathroom. He stood up and heard her call out to him.

''Ronald''

''Yes, are you alright?'' Ronald went to stand at the door side.

''En, can you get me a glass of warm water?''

''Sure, I will make it for you'' he said and went out of the room.

Kristine finished and came out to meet the empty room. She went to her closet and removed a set of pyjamas and went back into the bathroom. The poking had totally sobered her up. She wasn't a heavy drinker. Her limit was usually a glass or two but today under the influence of Lucy she had drunk four glasses of beer.

She sighed feeling a headache creeping in as she went back to take her bath.

When she returned, she saw the warm water on the vanity table and he was making the bed on the floor.

''You can sleep on the bed'' she said as she picked the water to drink.

''Are you serious?'' he asked her.

''Yes, I'm serious''

''I might end up cuddling you to sleep. Is that too okay by you? You won't tell me I took advantage of you tomorrow morning, right?''

''No, I won't. cuddling to sleep isn't so bad, right?'' she blushed.

''It is the best thing in the world'' Ronald said and folded the beddings aside, before sitting on the bed.

Kristine finished drinking the water and walked slowly to the other side. She sat down and said to him, we should sleep now. We have to leave early tomorrow''

''Yes''

They both laid on the bed at the edges rigidly, with none daring to move. They left the middle large space empty.

''Tell me about yourself? Your childhood, how was it like?'' Kristine asked and turned her face upwards, laying on her bed.

''My childhood?'' Ronald turned to face her.

''Hmm. I figured it will be awkward for us to just remain quiet so let's talk''

''My childhood was pretty normal till I turned 6 years and my elder brothers and mother left to another country, leaving me with my grandfather and father''

''Why did they leave you alone?''

''Because I was my grandfather's favourite? At that time, my parents were having a lot of difficulties of their own, so they decided to separate for a while and my mother took my two brothers with her''

''You must have felt lonely, right?'' Kristine touched his hand that was laying closer to her and he looked at her and she smiled. ''Don't worry, I will keep you company. I don't know about anything else but I am very good at waiting and comforting people. come here'' she straightened her hand and patted at her shoulder.

''Huh?''

''Just come and don't think too much about it'' she said and he moved over, still confused about what she wanted to do. When he got closer, she pulled his head and placed it on her shoulder and brushed his hair.

''You are not treating me like a dog, right?''

''How did you know that?'' Kristine laughed, ''usually when my friends and I are hurting, that's what we do to each other''

''What?'' Ronald lifted his head and found her face closer to him. She blushed and bit her lips. Her heartbeat slowly increasing as they stared at each other. ''Don't do that'' he said, his eyes darkening with desire.

''Don't do what?'' her face turned red.

''Don't bit your lips. I really want to kiss you if you do that again''

''Kiss me then'' Kristine said and bit her lips and felt his grip on her hand. He had pinned her down and was leaning closer to her.

''This time, we are not acting and I am not doing it to prove anything. I just want to kiss you and then cuddle you to sleep. Can I do that?''

''En'' she nodded her head and he captured her lips, kissing her passionately. His tongue working its way deeper into her mouth and she responded by kissing him back.

Robyn woke up and saw himself in the ward and cussed as the memories of the night came to mind. He tried to sit up and heard the door opening and turned.

Brenda stopped at the door when she saw him looking at her. She looked away and walked to the table holding a bag.

''If you are away, take some porridge and eat your medicine. I have to go to the site alone since you are here sick'' she said as she removed the porridge from the bag. That morning, she had gone home to bath and change into new set of clothes and was even cornered by Chloe and Jenny when she was going to make the porridge and she had to confess to them.

They had teased her and she was now in a foul mood. Her tone and actions towards him was cold and she knew it but she couldn't stop herself. She wanted to create a distance between them and make things clear.

''I will go with you'' Robyn said and tried to stand up.

''Don't even try to get down from that bed. The doctor said you needed to rest and I sighed the papers as your guardian, so you have to listen to me'' she said in a stern voice.

''Why do you sound so cold towards me? I thought we were cool last night?'' he couldn't understand the sudden change. He felt that they had grown a little closer last night but it seemed he was wrong as his attitude had changed.

''Last night, you were sick and I brought you to the hospital; that's it. Don't think we grew close just because I brought you to the hospital. You and I are just co-workers''

''You are really being harsh; do you know that?''

''This is originally who I am. Make sure you take your medicine after eating the porridge. I have to go now'' Brenda turned to go.

''Wait'' Robyn said and she stopped.

''What is it?''

''Will you come back after work?''

''I will be tired after dealing with the work that you and I was supposed to do. Do you think I will have the energy to come here after doing that?''

''You will be tired''

''Off course. I called Ronald, he should be on his way by now'' Brenda walked away with a heavy heart. When she closed the door, she stared at the man inside for a while before going away.

Robyn stared at the door for a long time before pulling the porridge to his side to drink. He didn't know why but seeing her back turned to him didn't feel right. he didn't want to see her back turned to him, but it seemed she couldn't wait to get far away from him.

This was the first time someone had actually cared enough to stay with him in the hospital through the night. When he woke up in the middle of the night and saw her sleeping with her head on the bed, he felt peaceful and had watched her until he fell asleep again.

He only had one family member, his grandmother who was in the capital. He had money he had inherited from his family but it felt nothing to him because he didn't find happiness in them. they felt empty to him. Having her shown a little warmth to him made him forget that she hated him and he misunderstood that they had become friends. He guessed the joke was on him.

He was almost done with the porridge when Ronald arrived and walked in, ''hey''

''You are back?'' Robyn looked at him.

''Yes''

''Whoa, look at you. You look so happy and good. Did you make her your girlfriend already?''

''Something like that?'' Ronald smiled and pulled a chair to sit. ''Where is Brenda?''

''Don't talk about her. that heartless woman left after delivering the porridge. That girl is truly heartless. Last night she was scolding me and I thought we had gotten closer but she changed into a different person this morning'' Robyn shook her head.

''Follow her with baby steps. There must be a reason why she is acting that way. Don't rush her or she will drift far from you''

''Look who is giving me love tips?''

''The one who just got himself a beautiful girlfriend''

''I'm happy for you, man''

''I am happy for me'' Ronald leaned against the chair happily.

''Now that you have the girl, isn't it time to clear the weeds that might become thugs in your flesh?'' Robyn asked meaningfully.

''I am going to start doing that soon''
