Chapter 18: In Pain
Mila had pushed to the end of the bed when they laid down.
Damien sighed.
"Did I do something, Mila? "he asked and without turning back mumbled.
"No, it's just so awkward now," she said.
"Why?".
"Because before, you were just a stranger who saved my life but now... you my boss, we work together every day it's different " she explained.
He laid back, "I can leave the company "
Mila flung up, "No, please don't do that because of me ".
"You said it's the reason you now acting this way towards me " he glanced at her.
She laid back pulling the covers.
"Not entirely, so please don't," she said.
He frowned his eyes on her blushed face.
"Alright, whatever you say " he smiled.
Mila blinked, he looked so different when he smiled.
"Good night, "she muttered.
"Good night, Mila " he answered.
Damien watched her fall asleep. And when she was fully deep in slumber he moved and pulled her away from the edge.
"You might fall, "he said covering her. He laid back down gazing at her calm face.
"Who are you for father to be so interested in you?" he muttered.
....
"What happened?".
"Am sorry Master but, the young master has already marked her ".
Damien's father stood up from his seat and turned to the window, and like his son's blue cold eyes, he gazed out.
"Where is she now?" he asked.
"With the young master...she seemed to have moved in with him " he reported.
"Don't do anything for now and watch them " said his father.
His guard left and he sighed.
"You will regret this son "he let out.
.....
Mila opened her eyes to a painful stab in her lower tummy.
Damien was lying beside her, still asleep.
She groaned feeling the pain intensify but then stopped when she realized she was wet under the covers.
Damien opened his eyes and sat up sniffing.
"Mila, your bleeding, "he said
She turned to him pulling the covers around her.
"No am not," she said.
"Yes you are, I can smell it " he said moving closer to her.
"Don't get so close, please "
He moved back, "You hurt "Jumping out of bed he rushed to her side.
Mila saw him get close and bend down to her.
"Where are you hurt, Mila "he said.
The pain from her abdomen and the thought of having stained his bed crowded her mind.
She wanted to cry out but was too scared to even say anything.
She turned to him, tears forming in her eyes.
"Can you please get Joy?" she said.
"Joy?".
She nodded.
"Why her, am here tell me what's wrong? " he said
"I can't...please get her "she cried.
He moved back, "Okay don't cry let me go get her ".
She watched him leave and cried out.
Joy was in the kitchen when Damien walked in.
"Joy, head upstairs," he said.
"Upstairs?" she walked to him.
"Mila asked for you," he said.
She nodded and rushed up the stairs. Knocking on the door, Mila told her to come in.
"Am here mistress, whats wrong "she walked to the bed where Mila was crying.
"Joy, what am I going to do...I stained his bed " she cried.
"Oh"
"Am so embarrassed, what will I tell him...how will I tell him " she cried.
" we can clean them up and he won't even notice..and Mistress am sure young master would not mind it at all " she said.
Mila cried out.
"Joy I don't know what's worse now, my painful cramps or the embarrassment am in now " she cried.
...
Damien who was heading up to his room to check on what was going on heard Mila cry.
He stood outside the door and Joy bumped into him walking out.
She was holding the bedsheets in her arms.
"Young master,dont worry. She's fine now " she said.
"She said she was in pain, "he said.
Joy blinked before nodding.
"What should we do to stop it?"
The look of seriousness and worry in his eyes made her chuckle.
"She needs some painkillers and ginger soup, "she said.
"Am calling Ian, it sounds serious, "he said.
Joy smiled watching him walk off.
After cleaning up and helping Joy change the bed sheet.
Joy told her to lie back down in bed.
"But I might stain them again, maybe I head to my room or go get ready for work " She frowned.
"You worry too much, mistress. Your in pain you need to rest " she said moving her to bed.
"I can't Joy, how will the boss see it " she said.
The door opened and Damien with Ian stood at the door.
"Joy I will take it from here " he said.
Joy nodded and walked out.
Damien moved to where Mila was laid her back down and covered her.
"Your sick, rest, "he said.
"No...am..am not sick.. just a small stomach ache". She said.
Ian frowned.
"You called me over for a stomach ache...Damien..."
Mila groaned in pain holding her stomach. Damien turned to Ian.
"She's in pain," he said.
Ian moved to where Mila was but stopped glancing at Damien.
"What?"
"How will I do anything if you in the way like that "he said.
Damien moved back and Ian sat down.
Mila opened her eyes.
"Am fine, doctor Ian... it's just my cramps " she said.
"Oh.. that's why I smell all that blood, "he said.
"Huh," she groaned.
Ian got up and grabbed Damien's arm leading him out.
"Doesn't that nose work?" he asked.
"Ahh"
"Don't you smell the blood? "he said.
"I did since I woke up..but she would not tell me an.....".
"It's her time of the month, which means she will be bleeding, "he said.
"Oh," Damien breathed.
"And you were the best student in medical school, how funny is that "Ian scoffed.
Joy walked up the stairs finding them outside.
She was holding some things for Mila.
"Let me "said Damien taking them from her.
Joy pointed out each use of the things and Damien nodded.
He walked into his room.
Ian smiled.
"Who knew he would be able to do such things for someone "
"Young master sure is different around her "added Joy.
