Got You.

Alex walked out of her last meeting feeling her body not cooperating anymore. Since earlier after talking with Cynthia she felt her body tremble all over.

A headache and dizziness had crawled in. She had pretended during the meeting but as she walked back to her office her facade collapsed. Losing balance Alex felt her body fall as her eyes lost vision.

"Got you" she felt strong arms hold her. She breathed looking up trying to get her vision back Alex kept blinking.

"Nathan" she murmured.

"Don't worry I got you" he said carrying her to her office. Softly he sat down and held her. Laying in his arms Alex opened her eyes and looked up, "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"To get you, Cynthia said you're not feeling well," he said touching her forehead.

"No, am fine. Just a little lightheaded" she said trying to get up.

He stopped her, "You almost fell awhile ago, you're not okay"

"Nathan am fine," she said pushing his arms away.

He grabbed her arm pushing down her body, "Alex" his calm yet stern voice startled her. Alex froze turning to face him. "Stay down" he finished.

Doing as he said she felt his arms hold her again.

"Am sorry" she muttered.

He sighed, "What's happened, why are you suddenly this sick?".

He could see her fidgeting with her fingers, her eyes looking down.

"Alex are you okay?" he asked. She shocked her head hugging him. Her golden-haired head hiding in his chest.

Nathan frowned feeling her sob, "It's okay"his hand held her head.

"I don't know why am like this, I thought I was okay" she cried.

"Tell me what happened," he said.

Alex showed her teary face, "his back?.... and I didn't know that knowing that would make me feel this way. It's just that....with you I felt so safe and confident I forgot how much of a coward I was" she cried.

He sighed wiping her tears, "You don't have to feel this way, love. Cause I want you to feel safe and confident with or without me. And even when am not there I will always have your back. So you don't need to feel so scared cause someone from your past is back cause right now am your future no one will do anything to you with me around"

She sniffed tears still rolling down her face, "But if he his back, then he might let out about that night and then mother, father and everybody else will find out" cried Alex.

"You don't have to worry about that, I will handle it," he said leaning his head on hers. "So please don't cry, I hate it when you do," he said.

She closed her eyes hugging him

His hold tightened, "Should we head home" he whispered

She nodded still hiding her face in his chest. "Can you walk?" he asked.

Alex shook her head. Nathan chuckled, "Then am carrying you out of here!...is it okay" he knew she hated making scenes.

"Mmm," she said.

He grabbed her things and walked out with Alex in her arms.

He stopped in front of her staff, "I will be taking her home to rest, excuse us" he said.

They nodded instantly with some waving, "Get better soon, boss" they said.

Nathan walked into the elevator.

"Still feeling dizzy," he asked. She looked up at him, "A little" she answered.

"Hungry?" he asked. Alex nodded.

"What do you want to eat" the elevator doors opened and he walked out.

"Some chicken" she murmured.

He laughed, "Okay, let's go have some chicken".
