Alexandra Knight

To say I am mad is an understatement, I'm freaking pissed. My own sister had no second thoughts of firing an arrow directed at someone that I directly told her makes me happy. Did she completely lose it? Ha! She lost it the moment she joined the Fyre League.

I sit on my couch channel surfing on my TV. Nothing good on makes my mood worse.

The door to my apartment opens and closes quickly.

"Hey Alex! You here?"

I carefully untangle myself from my blanket burrito and make my way out of the living room. Baba is there in the kitchen pulling groceries out of the bags.

Padding barefoot over to him I go to help, but he smiles and wraps his arms around me and lifts me onto the counter setting me down and removing his arms.

He does this every time though, and yet it still makes my heart race.

Pulling my legs up onto the counter with me I sit Indian style, and watch as Baba makes quick work of putting the food away. He has been coming over every day to keep me company.

Since the day, Scarlet found Baba and I kissing in my bedroom-and fired an arrow at him which I took- I have been confined to my apartment on medical leave. Since Scarlet has impeccable aim...when she had aimed for Baba, she had aimed slightly higher than his heart, and when i jumped into the line of fire, it hit it's mark where it would have. The reason why it's in my shoulder is because I come up to Baba's eyes. That put my shoulder right where she had aimed.

We've started dating secretly as to avoid another situation like that.

"Are you hungry?"

I nod eagerly. Baba is such a good cook.

He chuckles and begins to make us lunch.

As the food cooks, Baba leans his front against the counter in front of me and wraps his arms once again around my waist resting his chin on my good shoulder.

In return I rest my head on his own shoulder.

"Are you feeling okay, Baba?"

He pulls away and smiles softly.

"I just wanted to touch you." He goes to turn away but I catch him by surprise when I take his hat off his head and place it on my own.

He grins and tips the brim downward teasingly. I push it back up and return his smile.

"You look cute with my hat on."

He places his palms on the counter on either side of me, and presses his lips against my own.

As cheesy as it sounds, every time we kiss, I could feel my heart race and sparks fly between us.

Yep. As cheesy as well, cheese.

He smiles and presses his lips harder.

"Baba, the food." I murmur in between kisses.

He begrudgingly pulls away and finishes making the food.

Scrapping the stir-fry onto plates, Baba exits the kitchen for a minute and reenters only to pick me up and carry me bridal style to the living room.

Settling my body on the couch I wince as I reach for my plate on the coffee table with my bad shoulder.

Holding the plate up on my leg I begin to devour the delicious food. Not one word is heard from Baba.

Peeking over to the side at him I find him lost in space. Well figure of speech. he didn't seem to be looking at anything in particular.

Using my good arm I reach over and poke my boyfriend's cheek.

He doesn't even flinch.

Setting my plate back down on the coffee table, I move over and climb onto Baba's lap.

Finally seeming to snap out of the daze he is in, he smiles down at me sitting on his lap like a child.

"What's up with you, Baba?"

"Alex-"

I poke his cheek, "Don't you dare say nothing."

He sighs before wrapping his arms around me and pulling my body closer.

"It's nearly been two months since Soryu went into a coma and I'm worried."

I frown but I understood.

"You're afraid he's never coming back."

Baba nods and my heart clenches. Baba, no matter how much he jokes around with the rest of the bidders, seriously cares about them.

"You know that if and when he wants to come back he will."

Before Baba can reply I hear my landline ring.

Reaching over I pick up the phone and press it to my ear.

"Alex we need you right away. A comatose patient is showing sings of waking up."

I frown. It is the hospital where I work.

"Well when he wakes up, check his vitals."

"That's the thing, his vitals are out of whack."

I huff, "I'll be right there."
