Theodora woke up with a cough. She noticed a hand across her waist, she turned to the side of the bed to see Kaleb asleep.
“Your Majesty.” She called, tapping his hand. “Your Majesty.”
He opened his eyes, rubbing it softly. “My Lady?” He was surprised to see her awake. “My lady, you’re awake.”
“You slept here?”
He nodded. “I couldn’t spend the night without you.”
She forced a smile. ” Thank you for staying with me. ”
He took her hand, placing a kiss. “That’s what I signed for. ”
She touched his cheek. “You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll be fine, okay? ”
” I know. You stay here while I go order for your breakfast. ” He kissed her forehead. ” Just give me a second, okay? ”
Theodora laughed. ” A second is too small to get the meals ready. ”
” It doesn’t matter. ”
She laughed. ” Okay. A second. Don’t keep me waiting. ”
He opens the door. ” I won’t. I promise. ”
Not quite long as he’s promised, he showed up with a tray of food in his hands. “I didn’t waste time, did I?” He shuts the door with his leg.
“Not at all.”
He drops the tray on the bed, before her. “Go on, have your meal.”
She picks the spoon, it was so difficult for her to grab the food. “Let me help you.” He decided.
He took the spoon from her, slowly, gradually, he fed her until the food was finished.
“Do you need more?” He asked, concerned.
“No, thanks, I’m full.”
She watched as he drops the plate back on the tray, taking the glass of water up to her mouth. She drank a half of the glass. “Thank you.” She thanked.
“You don’t have to.” He drops the glass of water back on the tray. “I’ll be back again.”
She hold his hand. Her lips were slightly opened like she did wanted to say something but nothing came out of her mouth.
He touches her hand. “I’m not complaining.”
He took the tray with him out of the room.
