Kiara was busy thinking about the strange phone call she just got from Heather when Zane groaned, turning her attention to him and her eyes widened. She had totally forgotten about him.
She stood up from her seat then walked up to him.
“What's wrong?" She questioned as she dusted the flour off his face and suit.
“Some got into my eye and it hurts like hell" He murmured and was about to rub his fist on his eyes when she smacked it away.
“Don't touch it, that's going to make it worse. Come let's wash it off with water" She murmured then led him over to the sink and because of how tall he was, his head couldn't go under the tap so she had to take a bowl of water to wipe it off.
“Does it feel better?" She murmured and he shook his head.
“I think you have to blow on it" He muttered and she sighed before dropping the bowl and leading him towards the chair then sat him down and began blowing his eye.
“Is it gone?" He shook his head.
“I think you need to kiss it for it to really go away" He murmured and she was about to do as he said when she froze.
“There was nothing in your eye, was there?" She questioned as she pulled away with a frown while he flashed her a cheeky smile.
“There was but it was gone when you wiped it away with water. I miss when you used to take care of me, Kiara. it feels so nice to see that you still care about me" She rolled her eyes.
“I don't care, I just didn't want to be the reason you lost an eye. I thought you said we had somewhere to be? Why are you playing these games then? If you think this is going to make me forget about the fact that you haven't eaten then you've got another thing coming" She uttered then pulled the plate filled with pancakes in front of him and he frowned then let out a sigh.
“But I'm really not hungry" She rolled her eyes then pulled her seat closer then cut a piece of pancake and placed it in front of his mouth.
“Eat" He groaned slightly but began eating. She smiled at him then happily fed him till the plate was almost empty.
“I can't eat anymore,I feel pregnant already" Zane muttered as he slumped down on the chair which made her giggle.
“You ate a lot so you can go change now while I clean up this mess, hmm?" She stood up from the chair then grabbed his plate and placed it in the sink.
“Why don't I do it while you go dress up?" He uttered and tried to grab the sponge in her hand but she pushed him away with her free hand.
“You cleaned up yesterday so I'm going to clean today. Go already" He smiled then placed a kiss on her cheek before walking away.
As soon as he got into the room, his smile drained out of his face, then he ran over to the bathroom and puked out all the pancakes he had just eaten into the toilet.
He sat down on the ground for a while as he breathed heavily before he stood up and glanced at himself in the mirror. He had thought her coming back was going to solve his eating disorder but that didn't seem to be the case.
