"his right..."

"Gerald you can go ahead " Liana walked out.

Gerald nodded and walked towards the bedroom. Kiana wanted to follow but Xavier held her back.

"What are you doing, I need to go help," she said.

"Gerald will handle it, stay here," he said.

"Ahh, but he won't be able to help her dress up, I need to do that," she said.

"He managed just fine last night without your help, so let him," Xavier said.

"But Joy, will she allow it?" Liana asked.

"Let them figure it out themselves. Let's leave now " he said.

Liana looked at Xavier with a confused look but still followed him to the door with her things.

"Is there something am missing?" she asked.

"Maybe but now let's give them some space," he said closing the door behind them.

....

"Joy am coming in" Gerald knocked on the bathroom door.

"Okay," she said. The door opened up and he walked in.

She was wrapped in a bathroom robe and sitting on the bathtub.

He walked closer and bent down, his arms gently and slowly carrying her up, she held on to him.

He moved to her bedroom and placed her down on the bed.

"Thank you," she said.

"Let me go get Liana to help you get dressed, " Gerald said rushing out.

Joy watched him rush out of her room and sat down to wait for Liana to return.

Gerald walked back in with a frown, "Well, it seems they left "

"Left, but she said to help me get dressed " Joy looked up.

Gerald sighed, "You need to get dressed, or will catch a cold " he moved closer, "let me help get you clothes, since your hands are okay you can get dressed by yourself "

"That would be helpful " she pointed to where he could get her clothes. Grabbing an oversized dress, socks, and a sweater he returned to the bed.

"Here, hope it's okay," he said giving her the clothes.

"It's is, easier to dress in. Thank you " she said.

He excused himself left her room and went back to his cooking.

"That damn jerk, he will pay for this " he muttered.

....

Joy finished getting dressed, "Gerald, Gerald can you come help?" she called.

He ran into the room in seconds, "what's wrong?" he looked around.

"Nothing, I have been in bed all day, so I wanted to change the room," she said.

He sighed and smiled, "Okay, dinner is almost ready too," he said.

Carrying her to the living room, Joy sat back and turned on the tv while he returned to the kitchen.

Her eyes kept wandering to the kitchen where Gerald was busy cooking.

A smile appeared on her face while she watched him.

"Dinner is ready " he finally said.

After he served her, he sat back and joined her.

"How is it?" he asked

"Good, am amazed you know how to cook, you don't look like the type to know " she smiled.

He chuckled, "well thank you. Finish up and take your medications "

And after her meal, he bought her water and watched her take them. They say together and watched movies.

Joy yawned and turned to see Gerald already sleeping. His head was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Quietly she moved to place a cushion under his head and pulled the covers that he had used to cover her to his side.

She returned to watching her movie.

....

Gerald woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He looked around to see Joy sleeping next to him, her head leaning on his shoulder. Slowly he moved to grab his phone without waking her up.

"Hello " he almost whispered.

"Is Joy okay? "Liana's voice asked.

"Yes, she is, sleeping now " he whispered back.

"Okay, but what's wrong with your voice?" Liana asked.

"Nothing, just don't want to wake her up " he answered.

"Oh, okay, but why are you next to her?"

He sighed, "Yes, Liana, am right next to her. She's sleeping next to me," he said.

"WHAT? but, how come? you guys took it that far and in her condition. Is that safe? Is Joy okay?" Liana kept asking.

Gerald hang up and breathed. Placing it back down he turned to Joy, her eyes closed with the remote still in her hands. noticing how she had placed a cushion for him as well as covered him, he smiled.

Gerald moved while his arms held the sleeping Joy, pulling off the covers he placed her in his arms and got up. Walking to her bedroom, he got her into bed.

He stared down at her sleeping face, unconsciously his hand moved to her face.

"Why would anyone want to hurt such a face " he whispered.

Xavier's voice played in his head, saying why he was acting weird.

"His right, why am acting like this, what so special about you now that wasn't there when I saw you the first time? Yes I was attracted to you but I had a girlfriend and you were with Lucian maybe that's why I held back....but now that you are alone and hurt physically and emotionally I feel I can't do that anymore " he sighed pulling his hand away from her cheek.

"But I feel am not worthy of you, we are not like Xavier and Liana who can complete each other both supernatural beings, while I and you are different, Human and the demon can never " he uttered with a sad look on his face.

He sat next to her and watched her sleep.
