The slumber seemed to last only for a couple of minutes, and then there seemed to be sknocks. She concentrated. Indeed, someone was knocking on her door.
Her bedroom door. It could only be Wesley. ‘Is he back home?’
Blair sat up quickly, forgetting the pain in her belly. With her hair all messed up due to the tossing around, she opened the door.
Wesley was standing in the Living room, wearing his uniform. It Looked like he had run all the way up there; he was panting, and there were sweat beads on his forehead. Even his military cap, usually straight as the crow flies, was crooked from the running.

“Huh? Wait, what?” Blair was confused. ‘What does he mean? Why did he cback?’
Before she could ask anything else, Wesley turned around and pointed at the floor which was stained brown at regular intervals.
“I’m sorry for the footprints. I was in too much of a hurry to change into slippers.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it,” she replied sleepily. She didn’t even know what was going on.

And just like that, the man was gone.
He hadn’t even spent two whole minutes in the apartment. What had he cback for?
Blair was disappointed. She walked around slowly, turning off the lights in the Living room. That was when she noticed a plastic bag on the coffee table.
Nope! She wasn’t the one who had put it there. She had been in too much pain to even get up this morning!
She opened it. Inside were stake-away meal boxes, and she could also see sbamboo skewers.
The smell had already filled her nostrils before she opened the boxes, and she knew what was inside before looking at it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt smelled like barbeque. Blair’s hands shook a little from excitement.
She had been craving for it so bad!
She opened one of the meal boxes. Yay! She had been right. Barbeque! It was wrapped in tinfoil and looked delicious.
So, that was it! Wesley had run hat such a late hour just to drop the barbeque for her?
And then, he had barely caught a break before leaving again in a hurry.
Judging by his demeanor, he must have run all the way, on both the journeys! Thinking about this, Blair teared up.
“Boo…hoo… that silly man! He said that he didn’t Like me. Then why is he so good to me? It’s so confusing.’
There were all kinds of veg and non-veg dishes in the boxes. She figured that Wesley didn’t know what she liked to eat, so he had bought her everything.
Blair drew a tissue and wiped her eyes. Then she started to eat, and the very first bite she took made her certain that it was the best barbeque she had ever had.
