Chapter 11

Lucas P. O. V.

What's wrong again ..? She isn't answering my call . I was about to call her again  but she called back

"hello..."

" hello lucas.. Sorry I can't answer you. Austin have fever so I am in the  hospital." she said

" what.?! Is he OK now...?!! Why didn't you tell me ..?!! I would have come with you " I asked

"I am sorry I can't think straight when he was burning with fever  and   You are already busy.. I will tell you when I got back home OK..?" she said and ended the call..

Why does she always do everything on  her own.? Haah.. I should get going..

" caby take care of things for me... Austin isn't feeling well I am going home.. "I said as I rushed to my car.

"I see... Take care of austin " he said and I went to the hospital and she came out of doc's room just in time with  austin  crying.

"is he OK now...?" I asked and she nodded a yes.

" yeah.. He has cold and doctor gave him a shot and medications.. Let's go.." .

She said as I opened the car door  for her..

"why did you come..? I told you it's ok.. You already have so much work because  you always  have to push your work aside  and spend time with austin .." she said in a worried tone..

"sia.. For God's sake.. He is also my son.. Why are being like this..?!!"

I shouted  at her cause I was so mad at   her and she stared at me surprised.. What's there to be surprised.?

" sorry lucas.. I won't be like that anymore" she said and smiled. You always escape  my anger using that damn smile aren't you.? 

When we came back  home it was evening and now it's night.. I came to know that austin would become  so fussy when he got sick  .. He never left sia and didn't even came to me..

He was glued to her all day and would cry even if she Sat down.. She is roaming around the house carrying him all day without even eating.. Stella also took a leave for a week, helena is also busy so I took a day off since it's difficult for her to manage alone..

Athy's P. O. V. - - - - - - - - -

I didn't expected  lucas to get mad but then only I realised I am still not used to having him involved in everything.. I used to live alone so I thought it's ok to do everything on my own but when he scolded me today, I realised he is also austin 's parent I am not alone in taking care of him and I felt so bad for not telling him .

He took a day off,  cleaned the house, set austin' s bed which he won't use for a while   I think... He went to kitchen and came back to the room holding a plate in his hand..

" huh.. What's that.?" I asked

" food.. For you..". He said in a matter of fact tone.

"did you made this..?" I asked and he nodded a yes.

" you can cook.?! "

I asked surprised. yeah it's really surprising, is this guy really a rich kid..? Or may be I am the one  being stereotyped ?!!

" yeah I know.. Now here.." he said holding a spoonful in front of my mouth.

I stared at him surprised.. Is he gonna feed me..?! For real..?! He gestured me  to eat and then I slowly eat the food..

" hmm.. It's so delicious !!" I said my eyes wide in surprise and he smirked

"of course.. I made this.." he said in a proud tone.. Pfft.. This narcissistic guy

"here.."

he said feeding me another spoon walking beside me as I walked back and forth patting austin's back and now eating the food lucas feeding me ..

wow.. It's really like restaurant style fried rice.. Is there anything this guy  can't do..?!1 Well done athy..!! You married a genius! '

Austin buried his head on my neck  and I hugged him tight caressing his head.. I leaned my face on his head

" are you OK..?" lucas asked as he noticed my expression

"hmm.. I am not.. whenever he got sick I feel so sad.." I said patting his back gently.

"hmm...he is being so  fussy since   he is sick.. Don't worry he is gonna be OK" he said patting my back.. I felt so comforted by his words..

" Everytime he fell sick I feel so sad.. He must be hurting somewhere  that's why he kept  crying and being fussy  right.? but I can't do anything other than giving medicine and waiting for him to recover.. If there is a way to transfer  his pain to me  it would be so   good don't you think...? " I said and he stared at me with a blank face..

Lucas. P.O. V. - - - - - - - - -

whenever I see her being like This.. I feel jealous of my own son.. How lucky he is  to have such a sweet and loving mother..!

" I am happy that you are Austin 's mother sia.." I blurted out and she stared at me surprised.

" me too.. I am happy that you are his dad.." she said and smiled brightly and i stuffed  her mouth with food 

"what's there to be happy..? All I do is putting you two  in danger"

I mumbled   and she stared at me silently  for a while .

" it seems you don't know how loving and caring you are lucas.." she said ..

Heh .. Caring..?  May be I am, but only to you two.. But loving..? I doubt that.. I was in my own thoughts as I feed her the last spoon

" do you want more..? "I asked and she nodded a no

"I am full.. Seriously.. This is so good thanks "

she said with a bright smile which pulled out a smile from me..

" I was really surprised to know you can cook.. " she said.

" after dad's death.. I wanted to do something to distract  myself when I am stressed and that's how I started cooking.. When you cook all your attention needs to be there or else you could cut your hand or the  food won't taste good and accidents like that will  happen  .. So cooking become my stress buster.. But now I don't have  time to do that "I said ..

" I see.. Pfft.. Our stress busters match so well. Yours is cooking and mine is eating " she said and giggled.

"hmm..isn't that perfect..? I can cook for you and you can eat my food  .." I said and she smiled ..

Then she tiptoed in her toes and kissed my cheek..

" hmm.. Yeah.. Perfect.. just like you.. Thanks for the food"

she said smiling and walked past me.. I was frozen from surprise.

Badhump..badhump..the sound of my heart thumping  drummed in my ears ..  I thought I may die from  arrhythmia .. She is driving me crazy.

' athy..you stupid ..!!! Thank goodness I ran away.. I was so touched that he prepared food for me even fed me and I was carried away by  the moment that I kissed him ..!! Please don't make our next interaction awkward..' athy thought as she walked  to their  room..

I walked to the room and saw austin sleeping in his crib  .. Finally he fell  asleep huh.. I checked his temperature with my  hand and it's still high but atleast better than before   .. I covered him well with the  quilt ..

His face is so red and swelled from all the crying.. I caressed his face and he whined in sleep I was about to take my hand away but he grabbed my finger  with his tiny hand and leaned his hand on that..

Pfft.. Cute.. I Sat on the bed  and  stared at him sleeping.. I don't know if  babies always  breathe like this or he is doing because of fever but his chest rise  and fall as he breathed heavily..

His chubby cheeks were red  and I can feel his body heat in my hands.. Like she said he must be hurting somewhere right..? Fevers are always annoying.. I caressed his head and he whined in sleep .  I can hear sia came out of the bathroom after a  shower, I didn't turned back as I was busy staring at Austin.  I heard her hair dryer sound from the living room she must have went there as  it's sound may wake him up  ..

" lucas.. Doesn't your hand hurt..? Take it out.. he won't wake up"

she said giggling , I turned back finally and she was standing there with a  hairband inbetween her lips her hands grabbing her hair up ready to do a ponytail.. She was wearing a tank top and denim shorts.. Since her hands are up. Her top slid up showing her waist and belly

She .. Seriously... I suddenly got reminded of how I lose my mind everytime  because of her.. She is irresistible... I gulped as I turned my face to the other side... My heart beat so fast that I can't breathe properly..

"lucas...what's wrong..? "

she asked and when I turned to the side, she was standing close to me.. So close.. She stared down at me with her doe eyes beautifully shining..

Athy's P. O. V.- - - - - -

When I came out of the shower lucas was sitting beside austin staring at him with concerned face ..I looked down to see austin grabbing lucas's finger with his whole tiny hand. Wait .. is he  sitting there leaning down  like that  so that austin  won't wake up..? Pftt.. So cute .. I feel  so happy seeing him staring at his son like that... I want to look at them being like this  for all my life..

I told him to got up, austin won't wake up but he turned away after seeing me and I felt a bit sad... But Why.?   Wait, is he mad because I kisses him...?!! If it was that I am in a big trouble.. !Haah.. I will just ask him..

"lucas what's wrong..?" 

I asked as I walked towards him.. He stared  at me with a blank  face but he looked troubled ..  he kinda look  cute.. When he show  this  troubled  expression

He suddenly pulled me towards him, hugged me by my waist and  buried  his face on my chest..

Bathump... Bathump... My heart beated  like crazy and  I felt warmth rushing  throughout my body. When I felt his breathe caressing my skin . My whole body felt hot..god please don't let him hear my heartbeat..!!!After sometime of  staying like that.. I somehow got relaxed and I caressed  his head.. I don't know what's troubling him..? But His hair is so soft like austin 's.. But lucas hair is long and lustrous  I love  to touch it ..

" are you tired..?  Have some sleep.."

I said caressing his head and  he snuggled  His head..pfft.. I feel  like I am caressing grown up austin.. Like father like son I think..

" you should be the one resting not me. So..  He said parting  from the hug and suddenly yanked me...

" woahh.."

I let out a small surprised scream  when I fell on the bed and lucas was still sitting beside me..well ..that's smooth.. He  is strong

I jerked up and  instinctively turned towards the crib and sighed  in relief when austin was still asleep..

"haah..lucas.. Don't surprise  me like this" I said and he turned the other side again.

"and seriously.. Why are you avoiding me..?" I asked and he immediately turned back

" I am not."

"you are... Don't lie.. you did even just now too.."  I said and he sighed looking down.

" it's not like I am avoiding you.."  he said in a low tone..

"then...?" I asked tilting my head. He sighed and suddenly  moved closer to me...so close.

" it's all your fault.. Now I can't even look at your face sia.."

he said staring straight at me in the eyes .. Those deep red eyes.. Why the hell I found them damn attractive .?  I gulped down the words which got stuck in my throat .

"wh.. What did I do..?" I asked my voice getting lower for every word. He smirked  as his gaze fell down on my lips..

"  because of  your reward for tasting my food... Now I can't stop thinking about tasting this .."

He said staring at  my lips and then straight in my eyes.. And godd!! I am losing my control.. My mind started noticing  every single details  I found attractive in this guy... Which is almost everything.. How his voice is so deep and  seducing..

How his eyes are burning  with desire..how even  his messy hair look so good on him.. How much my hands are itching  to caress that fine chest.. His whole body is like a chiseled statue.. As my eyes settled back on his.. I felt like a rabbit in front of a wolf.. A hungry wolf...I suddenly remembered how enchanting lucas is that I lost myself to him when we first met ...

As he leaned even closer I placed my hand between our lips and his eyes  screamed  'what now ..?'  I raised my eyebrows and showed behind, he turned back to see his mobile was vibrating in silence ..he cursed under his breathe as he got up to answer  the call.. I burst out laughing  cause his lost face is so cute.. At the same time Austin got  up and I rushed towards him..

His temperature lowered a bit and he stopped  crying thank God.. I fed him milk.. He first fussed a bit but I somehow made him drink it.. It's been a week since austin started  crawling and I was so  happy  about that. He looked so tiny and cute crawling everywhere, when he  crawled all the way to  Lucas, he  got so excited and  started playing with him leaving his work behind .. I took a video of them playing.. Austin love  lucas so much that he would cry if he leave for work in the morning..so lucas started leaving while he is sleeping.. Their bonding is so cute and I feel so overwhelmed watching them together ..lucas looked so serious talking to someone.. It's been a while since  I saw him being serious.. Lucas.. in this one month opened up to us  so much that he is  always smiling towards  me and austin..
