Willing

7.

Gods above!

Someone please tell Ivy, I am not eight years old.

He has been breathing down my neck for past two hours. Asking stupid questions like why didn't you tell me about health? I am a doctor for fuck's sake!

Apparently it was too much to keep my slight episode to themselves.

I am so going to choke Maxwell.

Maybe because I know how dramatic asshole you are.

"Shut the fuck up. Your annoying voice is making my head ache more." I rub temple gently. Even though whatever drug Maxwell had given me, worked but I just left their room before second dose so here I am suffering.

"Drew." He takes a long breath and plops down to chair next to mine. His office is a total replica of any other office in this building. "You should have told me before. You know there are medicines which can help. Why are you being stubborn prick about it?"

"It isn't a big deal."

"Dr..."

I have never been so grateful hearing my phone rings.

"It's Oliver. I have to take it." Ivy was about open his mouth, probably to shout at me but I left his office faster than Bolt.

When I was out of office, I contemplated answering Oliver's call.

I can just ignore it. For now. He will never know. I could say I missed his call for like sixteenth time in a day.

I can totally do it.

I can.

I can't.

Pick up the phone, greet him politely, say how busy you had been and you didn't want to disturb him.

Easy.

Easy peasy - lemon squeezey.

"Hey, Oli."

"Your Majesty!"

Okayy.

Not so easy.

"Oliver.."

"Your Highness,"

"Oliver.."

"Yes, our mighty King. How great of you to pick my call, a mere peasant."

"Sarcasm doesn't suit you. So shut up."

"YOU FUCKING DICK! You asshole! What the fuck is matter with you? Huh? You have been ignoring my calls and messages. I texted Liam and he said you aren't living with them. Where the fuck are you?"

"Calm your ballls, man. I am living with Ivy." I answer, keeping my voice low and even because seems like mama Oliver is a little angry right now.

"THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE SAY!?"

"You don't need to shout. I am sorry for not calling you. I was just busy. No, don't interrupt me. Ivy needs help with security here at his hospital. I have been going through every little details to not make any mistake so I couldn't contact you. I am very sorry." I finished in one breath. I can tell Oliver is still fuming with anger, his breathing is quite uneven.

I wait for him to calm down. One thing about Oliver I love, is how he can't be angry at for more than five minutes. But it's only good when he is upset with, not with other people.

"Why does Ivy need your help?" He asks in rather calm tone. Good sign.

"For security." Oliver gives a heavy sigh over that, "Stop worrying, Oli. I am fine."

"Oh really?" He laughs dryly, "For a fact Drew, you are not fine. I know you and I am not upset because you refuse to share your feelings with me, I upset because you are always refusing my support. You are refusing me in your life."

"That's no.."

"It is. It is true. Stop denying it."

His stern tone leaves me speechless. There is a sad under tone to it which is there as long as I can remember.

"It's not like you tell me everything."

"Dre...w.."

Shit!

"I.....I am sorry. Forget what I said."

"I'll call you later. Take care." He adds the last line after a hesitation. And then the line goes dead. Leaving me with a aching heart.

Why is everything so hard right now?

"How are you feeling?" A surprised yelp leaves my body as Roy stands two feets away from me.

Now that my mind is no more drugged, I can fully see him. He is tall male with pale white skin. His long legs takes only four steps and he is in front of me. His dark eyes looking me up and down in manner in which a butcher looks at meat.

"Yeah." I reply. He still doesn't remove his intelligent eyes.

This is bothering me for no reason.

"How long have you been without your mate?"

My panicked eyes shot up to meet his calm. He looks at me with a all knowing stance. Giving him a hard look, I brush passed him. As our shoulders touch, a electric current shots up my body. My knee almost buckles but he grips my forearm in a tight grip.

His touch was setting my whole body on fire but it wasn't the pleasant type. It isn't what you feel when you are with your mate. This painful sensation is killing my body.

I jerk away my arm with a force which makes him stumble a little. Even then he again holds my shoulder and drags me in Ivy's office.

When Ivy sees us, his gaze stays a longer on me. Is he angry? I roll my eyes at him.

Roy takes one of the available seats while I stand at door. Roy and Ivy start to talk all the doctor, completely ignoring me, so when Ivy calls me I jumps a little in air. Only a little though.

"What?"

"What?" Ivy repeats in child voice. Roy looks amused at his childish behavior but he doesn't point it out. "Roy is asking if you have gone through all the files Kristen gave you?"

Oh!

Oh no!

"I wi..will"

The disappointed look they both give me, is not something I like. I avert my attention to the wall. This wall has very nice texture?

"Do you think this is fun? Or what we are doing is useless?" I open my mouth to say that's not what I think but Roy helds up his index finger, "Why don't you join us for next round?"

"This isn't necessary, Roy. His health wasn't good.."

"Excuses. All these are excuses."

Ivy and Roy both seems to have a silent battle.

"It's no problem." As soon as words I open my mouth, Ivy pins me with a death glare.

"It is. I am saying he is not going with us and this is final."

Ivy doesn't look at me. He doesn't have to because I know he is worried about me. He thinks those patient will trigger something.

Funny, there is nothing to be triggered.

I cross the room and stand next Ivy. I held his hand in mine, I give a gentle squeeze.

"I will accompany you both."

Roy turns and leaves the room right after that. When the door was shut and I was sure I had Ivy's full attention, I hugged him.

"You shouldn't go there." He hugs me back fiercely.
