The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips.

ISABELLA'S  POV

My heart was so impatient. I couldn't wait anymore. I ran inside the hospital leaving Alex on the gateway where he was talking to a man who was distributing some pamphlets. I don't know what was so intresting about it that he stopped there. I looked back and saw him running to catch me up.

"Wait" He said making me stop at my place.

"Sorry...I just...I mean..I'm so exited to see him" I said breathing too fast to catch my normal breath.

We reached the floor where Eric was staying. I wanted to go and meet Dr. Clinton but my urge to see my baby overpowered and I ran to his ward. Alex went to meet Dr. Clinton for Eric's health details which made me really happy. He was trying hard to be his father when he was not. Only a few people accept other's child and Alex was one of them.

I saw him holding the surgery pamphlet and I wa ted to ask him about it but he turned and walked to the doctor's cabin. I supressed my urge and smiled. I was going to see my Eric. Even seven hours of being away seemed like a gazillion years.

My heart was dancing when I reached his room and I pushed the door open. I saw Eric dozing off. I went to him and put my handbag on the table. The blue color from his eyes disappeared andnmy baby looked beautiful but he had few scars near his brow. I kissed his forehead as a tear of joy made its way down my cheek. My baby was so afraid of injections and yet a drip was attached on his hand. I could feel all of his pain. He opened his eyes as my tear fell on his cheek.

I touched his cute little face after a week now and the antenatal bond between us made my heart cry. I could see him staring at me. His big blue eyes looked cold grey. I could feel his misery. He had to suffer so much at this young age. Even with his intense cuteness, God did not show any mercy on my child. My baby was full of wounds and I couldn't wait to see him heal fully and run into my arms.

"Eric" I wisphered.

He kept staring at me while his little hand made its way and carrassed my cheek wiping my tears away. He smiled a little.

"Mama.." He said little blurred. I missed him call me mama. I could help my tears from falling.

I kissed his little palm. I remember the day when the nurse gave him in my arms when he was born. I was so happy and with one smile he erased all my pain.And that day I promised my son that I'd always take care of him. But today I lacked somewhere which resulted in making him end up in a hospital bed.

"How are you baby ?" I asked him carrassing his big brown hair.

He smiled widely and closed his eyes.
"Did you forgive me mama ?" He asked in his cute little voice. I missed his voice so much.

"For what ?" I asked him.

"I cut your dress...I was thinking of copying you but then you hit me..." He said slowing not being able to move his jaw much.

I hugged his little frame and kissed his nose. " I'm sorry baby. I won't hit you and now don't punish me okay" I kissed his cheek.

"I did not punish you mama" He said closing his eyes.

"Shush...don't speak much.." I put a finger on his lips making him shush. I looked at my finger on his lips and blinked twice.

The door opened and Alex came in and joined us. He smiled looking at Eric.
"Hi Champ" He said.

"Papa..where were you?" Eric asked him.

"Shush..don't talk much" I reminded Eric.

"I'm back..but you decided to shift here..away from me." Alex made a puppy face and Eric laughed.

He came forward and hugged Eric. Eric kissed his cheek and he kissed him back. I looked at both of them. We looked like a happy family. And Alex saved my happy family. I smiled and looked away.

"Is there any pain little man ?" Alex asked.

"No..I'm a superman" He said giggling.

"Really ?"

"Ask mama"

I saw Alex look at me and raised his brow. Omg ! Don't kill me.
I looked at Eric and carrassed his white cheeks.
"You can keep this line for evening" I said.
"What's up with the evening ?" He asked curiously.

"Viona will come to see you" I laughed as his eyes became wide.

"No ! No ! No ! Don't ask her to come here. We'll meet when I'll go home mama. Tell her not to come" He begged making Alex stare at him with a wide smile on his face.

"Why ?" I asked him.

"I haven't taken bath. I can't meet her" He yelled.

"Shush..I told you don't talk much" I put the finger on his lips again.

He looked at me helplessly and then at Alex. "Mama please" He mumbled.

"Little man..did you forget I have a good remedy for that." Alex winked and Eric giggled.

wth ! What remedy ? Are they keeping any boy's secret from me ?

"What remedy ?" I looked at Eric and then Alex. He shrugged his shoulders "Boy's cheat code" He winked.

Really ? Is there somthing like that too. Okay ! No offence. I remembered we shopped for Eric and we forgot the things in the car. Uh-Oh ! I looked at Alex and gestured him but that man couldn't understand.

"I think you forgot somthing on the backseat" I eyed him and he chuckled.

"Oh ! Yes ! Hey little man I'll be back in few minutes till then talk to your mama" He pecked his forehead and ruffled his hair.

I looked at Eric who was lying on his bed looking at me with a smile. I took out his favorite apple juice and handed it to him. He looked at the bottle and made an ew face.

"What ? Take it now" I said.

"I don't feel like drinking it."

"Shut up and obey me." I made an angry face and he quietly put the little jar on his mouth sipping the juice.
I smiled and kept looking at him. His face looked better now, much better than before. His injuries were healed and his dressings were also removed. He looked quite fit but needed recovery.

The door opened and Alex came in with the rubic cube, puzzles and remoted helicoptor. Eric looked at him and got up with a jerk.
"Eric..." I yelled.

"Stop being so exicted all the time and sit quitely" I patted his back and he looked at the games.

"See your mama brought some things for you" He said handing the box to Eric.

Eric was always so impatient like me. He did not even miss a single second and opened the box. He took out the remoted helicoptor and looked at it with his jaw dropped.

"Mama how do you know I wanted this ?" He asked.
"Mothers know everything" Alex said on my behalf.

Thanxx Sabestian !

"You know what mama when the lorry hit the car I was looking at this helicoptor. It was on the display" He said and started operating it.

Alex came near him with seriousness on his face. Like he had some questions in his mind which wanted answers.
"Eric..? What exactly happened ?" He asked looking at him.

"When ?" Eric looked at him.

"You said the lorry hit you right ? What had happened ?" He asked again.

Yes ! I just did not pay a nibble attention on the fact. I was getting nervous as Eric did not answer his question.
"Um..I was crying that day because mama was mad at me so the driver uncle went out to get some chocolates to cheer me up and then a lorry hit the car...and then I don't remember." He said focusing on the fly of his game.

Alex looked at me and back to Eric. It seemed like he was thinking too much.
"Who told you about the accident ?" He asked me.
"Um..A lady called me." I told him.

"And the driver..? Didn't he show up ?" He asked me.

"No I didn't see him after that." I said getting worried.
"What I thought he was injured. I even credited his account for the hospital bills. Damnit ! I thought he was also in the accident and you knew about it.."

"I thought you'd take care of him." I said in low tone.

"WHAT THE FU..." He stopped midway and looked a Eric so engrossed in his work.

"That means he's missing"  I said.

"I think he ran away" He said raking his hair with fingers.

"Why would he run away ?"
"May be because it was not just an accident. I think there's more than that and cops should be envolved." He exhaled.

"I think your thinking too much" I said."The driver was such a genuine man"

"You think that way. Devil doesn't comes with red horns on his head" He was right.

"But..I think you are right. But why would somebody try to harm Eric"

"Maybe because of me." He said with a sad face.

"I have a bunch of enimies out there  who could dare to kill me or harm my family" He wiped a few drop of sweat off his forehead.

"Anyways...I'll contact the cops about it" He said and went out with his phone.

I pulled my little boy in my arms. How could someone dare to harm my baby. What was his fault ? Why some people go so crazy that they try to harm a little soul. I looked at my little boy busy with his helicoptor. Watching him smile brought a happy smile on my face too.

**********************

I was with Eric till eight in the evening when Alex called and asked me to come home. I called Aoran and asked him to stay with Eric as long as he is awake. I didn't want to bother uncle or Erin so Aoran was the best choice to make amongst them. Within fifteen minutes he was in the hospital with lot of chocolate syrups for Eric. They played together and watched a movie on his tab. I advised Eric to sleep soon and not to play till late at night and bother Aoran. After which I came back to home.

As I unlocked the door. I saw Alex dozing off in the armchair. He looked really tired as he slept with a frown on his face. I hurriedly changed into a comfty dress and went straight to the kitchen. I don't want my devil turned angel husband to starve for long. I opened the refridgerator and saw the dinner was already ready. Great that he bought food. I was already too tired to cook.

I went to him to wake him up but stopped when I saw him sleeping like a little baby...like Eric. I smiled and looked at him as he rubbed his cheek with his palm in his sleep. He looked so cute. I don't know how to admit it but secretly I admit Erin is always right. His eyes opened abruptly and he looked at me staring him in his sleep.

"A..I- I'm sorry I just..." He rubbed his temple looking around.

"Relax it's okay."

"When did you come ?" He asked.

"Five minutes ago" I said.

"You should have woken me up. I.." He got up and walked upto the kitchen. "You must be hungry right" He smiled as he saw me nodding.

He took out the big bowl and a tray. I went to help him and put the bowl and tray on the dining. He looked at me as I took my chair fast and rubbed my hands on the smell of food. It looked delicious. He removed the cover and served me hot planked meatloaf and a ultra crispy burger. I could not wait for him to serve himself and I started eating. He laughed but then stopped abruptly.

"Sorry.." He said.

"Why ? What happened ?" I asked.

"Nothing...you remind me of someone." He said with a sad look on his face.

"Hey what happened ?" I asked him rubbing his shoulder.

"Nothing..just some bitter memories" He sighed.

"You want to talk ?" I asked.

"Nah..I'm fine..you carry on with you food" He said pointing on my plate.

We ate in silence and I kept thinking about Eric's accident. I wanted to ask him but he looked upset so I made a mind to ask him later. After the meal he picked up our plates and washed them. I looked at him as he did not let me do anything.

"Dinner was delicious. Where did you buy it from ?" I asked sitting on the kitchen counter watching him do his work.

"From Alex Cullen's penthouse, 68th floor Cullen Constructions, Hailey Road" He said in a serious tone.

"What ?" I said confused. Was it a joke which I did not get.

"I cooked it wifey" He said with a chuckle bringing blush on my face.
"You cooked that ? Wow...You can become a chef" I said with little embarassment.

He was done with the dishes and then brought out a tub of Basskins Robins and gave it to me. Ice creams are always my love. I took it and smiled at him.

"Thanxx" I said.

"Welcome" He said sweetly.

"Finish it fast" He said looking into my eyes.
"Why ? Is there anything else left to try ?" I asked.
He shook his head and grinned. "No.."
"Then ?"

"Just stick some of it on your lips" He said in an evil tone sending shivers down my spine.

"WHAT ?" My eyes widened.

"Then I'll wipe it off" He raised his brow.

What ? Is his mind at right place ? He doesn't know he's doing different things to me. Why does he seems so caring ? If he doesn't change himself I swear I'll fall...I'll fall for him.

"Won't you share it with me ?" He asked in a kiddish tone.

"No.." I said eating the spoonful.

"I want to taste it" He said.

"Hahaha..I finished it" I showed him the empty tub. He looked at me with an angry face. "You did not do it right." He growled.

"Oops I'm scared" I laughed.

He snatched the tub away from me and came between my legs making me shiver. I looked in his ocean deep and blue eyes and I was lost in them. He held my face between his hands and instantly his face came so close to me that I was drawn into his charisma. I was totally lost. My breathing ragged as one of his arm slided to my waist holding me tightly in his capture. My hand made its way on his cheek and carrassed his stubble. "Alex..?" I tried to remove his hand from my waist, although I didn't want to.

"Yeah.." He replied staring me into my eyes. His eyes...I could read them. They were so transparent to his thoughts. I knew those orbs. Somthing inside me was screaming that he is harmless.

"Wh-What are you doing ?" I said trying not to look into his eyes. But even if I avert my eyes I could feel his intense gaze on me. It was making me really uncomfortable. My insides were screaming to hold his hand and be with him forever but...

"Punishing you" He said interupting my conscience.

What did I do to deserve such an sassy punishment ? I could not tolerate such a handsome mess so close to me. I was about to ask him to let me go when his lips captured mine. I could not help but sit still and shocked and feel the beautiful mess he was doing to me. His soft and tender lips played with my lips for I don't know how long. I couldn't think anything. I didn't know how did it happen but hell ! It was happening. He was kissing me with those lips I knew. I could feel the lava of all mixed emotions burst inside me. His palm carrassed my cheek as he kept playing with my fuller lips.

"Open your mouth" He wisphered in an erotic voice.

I could feel goosebumps on my arms and legs. He again attacked my lips and kissed me gently. My arms made there way to encircle his neck and my mouth opened in accordance. He was charming me and I was getting consumed in his illusion. His tongue slided inside my mouth as he kept kissing me for long. I don't know who pulled away but I was out of breath. I was gasping in for air and he looked at me with a monkey smile.
"I took my share of ice cream" He said slowly.

Goodness ! I messed it up. Why did I kiss him back ? Omg ! Why did he kiss me ? Does he like me or its just a casual kiss ? I don't know anything. Damnit ! But it felt so good. I ain't even regret it. I just-I just wanted to kiss him.

I could not see him in the eyes so I chose to stare floor and wait for him to leave. Then he lifted my face with his thumb and wiped my lips with a tissue. What the hell is he doing ? Is he tainted ? May be that's why he's wiping my lips. My eyes fell on his face and I could not look away. I was so attracted by his features. His well defined features. His cute pointed nose, his cheekbone, his messy looking hair, his pink lips...what no they are not pink, they look red.

Shit ! He was wiping my messed up lipstick. I looked at his face and trust he looked like a monkey. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at me with a frown.

"Do you want more punishment ?"  He asked making my blood flow in rage through my veins.

"Your....Lips..I mean your lips are red." He frowned and shook his head.
"No.." He said.

"I mean they look red." I took the tissue from his hand and wiped his lips. I was too shy to look straight at him.

After which he put me down of the counter and wished me Good night. I looked at him walking away but then a paper fell down from his pocket. I ran and picked up the paper. It was the same pamphlet the guy in the hospital gave him.

"Alex..your..your pamphlet" I said making him stop and turn back.

He came to me while I read the pamphlet of Dimpleplasty. Why was he keeping it ? I looked at him and gave him the pamphlet.
"What is it ? I mean Dimpleplasty ?" I asked and he rubbed his forehead.

"Nothing..Umm..yeah" He said between fumbles.

"Really ?" I asked.

"Yeah..its just nothing.."

"Then why are you keeping it ?" I asked.

"You only said you like dimples so..so.."

"So ? You were thinking of getting a dimple ?" I laughed so hard rolling on the nearby couch.

"Oh my goodness Alex. You are so funny" I kept laughing and he went back to his room with frown on his face. I went back to my room and went straight to my bed. I kept thinking about the whole day how he came to pick me up and then the kiss and those dimple thing. Is there somthing he feels for me ? Because I..I think I feel somthing. I am so attracted to him plus he is being too cute. I can't help it. I think I LIKE HIM.
Sombody up there help me !
