Melanie’s POVThe night was uphill from that moment on. Adriano and I had dinner together and he made a suggestion that shocked me to my core. He asked us to watch a movie together.So here we were, in the movie room with a bowl of popcorn and a pitcher of juice, arguing about which movie we should watch.“There’s no way I’m watching a chick movie with you,” he said.“But I don’t want to watch a horror film, they’re scary,” I argued.“That’s what makes it exciting, plus it’s not real,” he replied."It doesn't matter! For the purpose of the movie, it is very much real."Adriano sighed, clearly frustrated with me. “I’m still not watching a chick movie.”“A rom-com is not a chick movie. It’s just laid back and relaxed compared to what you want to subject me to,” I replied.“It’s just a bunch of people acting silly because they’re in love and laughing about it,” he said.

Melanie’s POVLast night didn’t end the way I thought it would but it was still a great night. I was too weak to stick to taking it slow but, Adriano on the other hand, was strong enough for the both of us and I was grateful for that.He was actually a fun person to be around. After we gave up on the movie since none of us were really paying attention anyway, we talked about a lot of things. Adriano asked me a lot of questions about my family and what it was like growing up in Texas. All the while I spoke, he was so attentive, hanging onto my every word as if I was telling him the secret cure for cancer.It felt good to have someone’s attention that way. The way he looked at me like while I was talking like I was the most important thing and nothing else could take his attention made me feel flutters in my belly.When we finally decided to call it a night, he walked me to my door and gave me a kiss on t

Adriano’s POVI have the worst case of blue balls to ever exist. This shit wasn’t normal anymore.I want her. I fucking want, Melanie. That much was pretty obvious.I just wasn't sure how much longer I could hold out before I lost control and fucked her seven ways to Sunday.I’ve long accepted that I wanted her in my bed but now I was beginning to harbor hopes of something more and I didn’t know if I was allowed to do that because in my line of work, hoping for happy ever after was a pipe dream.Yes, I knew my parents and grandparents found unconditional love but I like to think of them as the exception, not the rule.I once thought I had found the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with but she turned out to be a fraud. I didn’t know if I had it in me to go through all that again.Sure, Melanie didn’t hide her initial distaste for what I did but now she’s trying to come to terms with it. I wa

Melanie’s POVHayley was all giggles and smiles throughout our shift and she disappeared more than once to do something ‘urgent’ and I knew fully well what she meant by that.If they continued like this, it was only a matter of time before people realized something was going on between her and Dr. Rodriguez, although that might be for the best in my opinion.Other girls would know he was spoken for and stop attempting to throw themselves at him.Hayley even suggested we have a double date with our partners. While I was excited about the new thing I’ve got going on with, Adriano, I wasn’t ready to share him yet.But I didn’t want to turn her down so easily so I told her I would think about it.It took a little longer than I expected since Alice always told Aria everything, I swear the both of them were like two peas in a pod but she finally reached out to me.I got a text from her during my lunch break

Melanie’s POVThe next few weeks passed by in bliss and before I knew it, I was looking forward to my evening with, Adriano. It was like we were in our own little bubble.He hasn’t made any more advances at me but we’ve been doing a lot of making out. I was all kissed out at this point and I wanted him to just throw caution to the wind and fuck me instead. He really chose the wrong time to be a gentleman because I was going through the height of sexual frustration.Every night, he walked me to my bedroom door, kissed me goodnight, and walked away from me.On the other hand, Hayley and her boyfriend have been going at it like whores on crack. Yes, I knew because she wouldn't shut up about it all the time. It was like I had a front-row seat to the details of her sexual life.Thanksgiving was two weeks away and I still hadn't told my mom whether I was coming home or not.I had been avoiding her calls, using

Melanie’s POVIt was a weekend and I expected to spend it with, Adriano but he left before I woke up.I wanted to text him before I realized that I still didn’t have his number after all this time. That was something I had to rectify as soon as possible because not knowing where he was or what he was doing was killing me and Alice could sense it.“Why do you look so worried?” she asked.“Did, Adriano tell you where he was going before he left the house?” I asked.She shook her head. “I’m sorry but, Mr. Alfonso does not give me details of his day,” she answered.“And he didn’t tell you when he was coming back,” I said.“You need to stop worrying, Melanie. He just went to work, I’m sure he’s safe,” she said.“I hope so.”I had this twisted feeling in my stomach when I woke and not seeing, Adriano made me feel worse.“I don’t know, Alice. I don’t feel so good,” I said.She

Melanie’s POVI think I stopped breathing for a moment.There was no way I just heard, Nik correctly, he had to be messing with me.“You’re messing with me, right?” I said.“I wish I was,” he replied and that was all I needed to hear before I began running towards the patient room.I didn’t bother looking back to find out if Nik was following me. All I knew was, Adriano has been hurt and I wanted to see him.I burst into the room and found, Adraino, lying on the bed and holding a shirt to his left arm. I stopped in my tracks, trying to catch my breath. He wasn’t unconscious, neither did he look disoriented.He was even smiling at me!“Hey, little nurse,” he said and I couldn’t hold it anymore, I burst into tears.I was in his arms in the blink of an eye while Nik walked in.“What the fuck did you do to her?” I heard Adriano ask.“I didn’t do shit!

Melanie’s POVI clocked out and ran to change out of my scrubs, ignoring the numerous eyes that were on me. Some were staring at me with approval but most of them had looks of jealousy and envy, like I somehow stole what belonged to them.Well, that was none of my business. The fact was, Adriano is my man and they can look all they want but can't have him. So that was one way to look at it. Besides, I wasn't a stranger to being stared at.I changed out of my regular clothes and when I got out. She was glaring at daggers at me but there was no mistaking the envy in her eyes when she saw, Adriano earlier.I smiled at her. Take that you petty, conniving, bitch. Yes, you can think you're all that and try to take away surgeries from me but you'll never have my man.I got to the nurses’ station, half expecting to meet, Hayley alone but to my surprise, she was engrossed in a conversation with, Adriano and they were laughing.

Melanie’s POV“Ugh… you guys are so cute it’s disgusting,” Aria said, once again interrupting our moment.“Shut up, Ari!” Adriano barked at her.“Whatever, I’m going to be with, Alice in the kitchen so wrap this up because we’re all having dinner together and I don’t want you making googly eyes at each other at the dinner table,” she said.“You still haven’t said it, Melanie,” Adriano said when we were finally alone. “I need to hear you say it.”“You need to hear me call you, baby?” He nodded. “Yes, I do because you’re mine and I’m yours. Every part of me belongs to you. So I’m your baby and it feels fucking good to hear you admit it.”I would have laughed if he wasn't being incredibly sweet. A grown-ass man was happy I called him, baby. Now that was a first.“Still, you shouldn’t have yelled at your sister that way,” I told him."She can handle it besides how do you expect me to let out

Melanie’s POVAdriano and I spent the day watching movies and munching on junk food after he finished the entire jar of cookies I made for him.I’d never seen someone that obsessed with cookies and it’s actually funny to see, Adriano react that way to the cookies.I must admit that it made me feel good that he loved my baking, now it got me wanting to do more. Maybe bake a pie or some muffins. I might start a bit easier and go with brownies instead but we'll see.When we got tired of staying indoors, he suggested we go out for a walk around the grounds and I gladly agreed.I had never really wandered around the house except the insides. I knew that the staff quarters were also in the compound but I'd never been there, and neither do I know how they live over there. It turned out the quarters were an array of bungalows for the staff.That way everyone had their privacy. There was also a large kitchen. Apparently, th

Adriano’s POVI have never loved being injured more than this moment.Melanie has been treating me like an incapacitated child and I had no complaints.Thanks to the ibuprofen she made me take after breakfast, the pain in my arm wasn’t unbearable and thank God I gave in to her.The pain was quite intense at night and the only comfort I had was having Melanie sleeping in my arms since I was doing a shit job of that.However, she woke up at various intervals throughout the night to check on me and I did a good job pretending to be asleep at those times. I knew that because she didn’t dispute what I said when I told her I slept great.“Thankfully you didn’t pop any of the stitches in your sleep,” Melanie said. She was in the middle of changing the bandages on my arm.“I’m a good patient,” I told her.“Whatever,” she scoffed and finished bandaging my arm.“Thanks for taking care of me, Melanie,” I said.“You don’t need to thank me but you’re welcome all the same,” she replied.I leaned i

Melanie’s POVI woke up feeling something poking me from behind I immediately knew what it was.I was tempted to rub myself on him but, Adriano was still asleep and I didn’t want him to wake up while I was in the middle of whatever I was doing because I wasn’t sure how I would recover from that embarrassment.I felt him stir a bit and I feigned sleep, but it turned out I wasn’t that great of an actress because he knew I was awake.“Good morning, little nurse,” he whispered in my ear. “You can stop pretending to be asleep now.”I groaned. “You’re annoying in the morning,” I said.“Nope, I’m a ray of sunshine especially because I get to wake up next to you,” he replied.I ignored him and rolled over so I could face him.“Did you sleep well?” I asked.“Yeah, I did. I told you I can handle a little pain,” he answered.That wasn’t what I saw when I woke up a few times in the middle of the night to check on him. His face was contoured in pain and it was obvious that he was having a fitful s

Melanie’s POVAfter Adriano had his dinner, I gave him some painkillers that he took grudgingly but I put my foot down and insisted so there was no way for him to win that argument with me.“Thank you, Melanie,” he said.I was drying off the dish he used while he was keeping me company in the kitchen.“For what?””Taking care of me,” he replied.“I didn’t do much. I just stitched you up,” I responded.“You did more than that. You were my safe space. I went out today knowing I had you to come home to and I’ve never had that,” he said.I frowned in confusion. “You’ve never had a safe space?”"I've never had someone to come home to. Someone is waiting up and worried about me. I've never had that and you gave me that. You shined your light in my dark world and gave it color."God, he was being so sweet right now that I was about to cry. “What about your family? I know you really care about them, aren’t they your safe space?”“They’re bound by blood to always be on my side but you aren’t,”

Melanie’s POVOh, my God!I just let, Adriano finger fuck me!It was the most amazing sexual experience I’ve ever had and I didn’t even get to see his dick. Now I was embarrassed.I didn’t know if I would be able to look him in the eye ever again so I buried my face in his chest, trying to avoid the inevitable post-orgasmic haze conversation that we were bound to have any moment now.“Don’t do that, little nurse,” Adriano whispered in my ear.“I’m not doing anything,” I replied but it sounded more like a mumble.“You’re not looking at me and I have to wonder whether or not you regret what just happened,” he said.I raised my head to look him in the eye. “I don’t regret it,” I stated matter of factly.He smiled at me. “Good, because watching you come apart on my fingers was the most amazing thing I’ve ever watched and if you had regretted it, that would only piss me off.”Then he put the fingers that had been inside me just moments ago into his mouth and sucked my juices right off it a
