Stephano’s POV

*

          “Would you like to come back later?” Dr. Pierce asked me as we left his office and walked down the hallway.

“Yes of course Dr Pierce, let me know when she’s stable enough. I’m glad the swell has finally subsided.”

“Okay. The nurse has been assigned to her as instructed and I wouldn’t want any disturbance because of the drugs she’d been injected with and also, regarding our earlier discussion, I’ll get back to you next week.” He further explained.

I nodded. “I totally understand. I’ll expect your feedback.” I replied and we exchanged handshakes before I left him to attend to his duties.

I went out in search for Kara, knowing she wouldn’t leave without speaking to her mom first but she was already talking to a guy who was staring at her like she was an adorable little kitten.

“Kara mio.” The name sounded like a warning as the man immediately looked up at me and his eyes widened. The message was clear in my eyes; the childish part of me was marking its territory, especially because this was all a contract to Kara. What if she fell in love with some guy and I never get to show her how I feel?

“Stephano.” Kara’s soft voice replied without turning around. The man said something and left but my gaze was now on Kara, appreciating her portable backside without an ounce of guilt in me.

“I was wondering where you were since I was told you were no longer at the mansion...”

She turned around. “Did you sleep well?”

“Uh..yeah, I did. Thanks. Is something the matter? You look a bit... tensed.” She eyed me.

“Nothing exactly...” I trailed off. Nothing was wrong but it was nice to see her not cowering under my glare and even asking me if I was okay.

“Stephano, are you sure nothing is wrong?” she moved closer, eyeing me.

“I’m sure babe.” cazzo!

I caught myself too late from calling her babe like I’d done a million times in my head. Her eyes widened incredulously and pride filled my heart because I was the cause of that little but beautiful act of hers. My eyes roamed over her features as I took in her beautiful face which was almost bare of makeup save for her lips coated in lipstick, her attractive chest which was packaged into a top and her jean clad legs which flowed down to her sneakers.

“You look beautiful, Kara mia.” I complimented, not being able to accept that someone could be this attractive without even trying so hard. I nodded in approval when I also noticed the sneakers she was wearing was the one I got for her on one of her travels. I’d chosen it based on preference from the store owner that day, when she said girls sometimes loved cool colors too.

I don’t know wherever I might be on earth but I wouldn’t miss my beautiful Kara’s birthday for anything in the world.

Just like this morning, I knew I had work to do at the office but I just couldn’t resist the temptation of coming here to see Kara. I noticed how she had looked at me yesterday when I appeared with Doctor Pierce, as if she were ashamed of the relationship between us or something. She couldn’t even look me in the eye and neither did she acknowledge me.

It was as if she had been telepathically pleading that I shouldn’t show any sign that we were together in the presence of her mother. That was why she had just acknowledged my presence with just ‘you’re here.’
