Chapter 3: Make him fall
It's been weeks now and yet no progress in Alex plan to make him fall for her. She tried cooking for him but he didn't even taste it, she tried talking to him whenever she got the chance but he always shun her off. She waits for him whenever he gets off late from work but he never appreciates her efforts. Sometimes she sleeps off in the sitting room couch while waiting but she surprisingly wakes up in her bed. He must be the one carrying her up, the feeling gives her butterflies. She tries hard to make him notice, acknowledge perhaps fall for her but it seems she's the one falling for him. He's still as cold as ever, he hardly talks to her. He's punishing her but she's not a quitter. She kept cooking and doing whatever it's takes to make him fall hoping she wins someday. Of course she's Alex Wilson, she gets whatever she wants.
She never wanted to make him notice her but a part of her feels she did him dirty and wants to make amends. A part of her misses the old him, the Jason that loved her and always gave her his time. She knew that deep down he doesn't completely hate her and wants to wake his feelings for her and she must achieve that, she said to herself.
It took Jason few days to catch Mr. Donald, the one that stole from the Wilson's company. He was in Czech Republic, he established a small business there but seems he didn't manage it well because the business was already at it's doom. Alex got to know about this on the internet, she literally hates the fact that Jason shares nothing with her. He could have at least told her, but he totally treats her like a furniture or something.
Jason came back one evening very tired, he had a long day and barely ate anything. He took the spaghetti Bolognese in the fridge and microwave it. He was half way into the food when Alex came down probably to get water.He didn't even spare her a second look and continued with his food. He finished eating and Alex is still in the kitchen doing God knows what...
He saw her lying in the kitchen island, is she sleeping there? He scoffed in disbelief. Hey, he called as he shook her gently. Her body was hot, he touched her forehead to check her temperature and she's burning. He immediately carried her up to her room, he saw some medications beside her bed. How long has she been sick? He tried bringing her temperature down by using a cold towel on her forehead. He closed her windows and covered her with duvet.
Alex woke up the next morning feeling light, she remembered getting sick from the shoot she did in the beach some days ago. She was exposed to cold which is why she has a fever. But she feels a lot better now. She was startled when she noticed a figure lying beside her bed. Jason woke up when he felt some movement in the bed. How are you feeling now? He asked in a gentle but hoarse voice. I feel better, just hungry she said with a pout on her face. She can't believe Jason took care of her and even stayed the night with her. If this was a dream, she doesn't the to wake up.
Jason prepared something light but hot for her, toast and egg with tea. Breakfast in bed, Alex thought as she blushed. She always wanted that princess treatment from him and here she is getting it without even trying.
She always wished for a day like this but never knew it was going to come sooner than later. Thank you, she muttered but he didn't respond he just watched her eat. Aren't you going to work today? Alex asked. I cleared my schedule, I can't leave you here like this. And why didn't you tell me you were sick, he asked with a frown. Alex's heart skipped twice in a row. How was she supposed to tell him when he always gives her cold shoulders, she's very much intimidated by him. You never give me chance to talk to you, she muttered throwing her face away. He moved closer to her and gently made her look at him. You know I'm punishing you for what you did in the past but that doesn't mean when you are sick or in any form of danger you wouldn't let me know, you are my wife and It's my responsibility to take care of you, he said with the most calming and serene voice ever. Alex was lost in his eyes, she wanted to kiss him badly but that might spoil his mood. This new side of him is warm and she likes it, he's punishing her but also cares about her she smiled at the thought. This was how tender he was to her back then, she didn't see how valuable his love was but now she does and she doesn't want to blow it up this time. Jason, I'm sorry about what happened...
No Alex, finish your food first and get better we will talk about that later, let me know if you need anything he said leaving her room.
