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

Should I go and knock on the door, but what I'm going to tell him I'm doing at his house in the hour, the sun will disappear after one hour, huff.

Do you want to know what I'm talking about? Well lets go back to this morning.

******

After I woke up and get dress I go to work, I was late like always and began to do my work, after an hour my mind go to Mr. Stanford, is he okay, is there someone taking care of him, did the fever go down, etc.... .

I took my phone and was going to call him, when Sam comes to my desk.

"Hi, what can I do for you?" I said with a smile, a fake one.

"Hi, we were wondering where is Mr. Stanford?" she said with a very sweet voice. Okay, let me tell you about Sam a little bit, you now when we were in high school, remember the girl that want to know everything and nothing stay in her mouth, the girl that want gossip to tell and she didn't care if she hurt someone with her gossip, well that is Sam in this company.

"Who is we? You know what I don't care, Mr. Stanford in the plan right now going to a meeting." I lie and give her a glare and get back to work, but the thing is Sam didn't go, so I look up and say "what are you still doing here?"

"I don't believe you." She said

"And I don't care, but what is it to you what Mr. Stanford is doing, its not your business and its not mine so go back to work." I said to her, she glare at me before she go back to her work, god, she is a pain in the ass.

After that I continue my work forgotten that I was going to call my boss, but that wasn't for long.

And that how I spend my work hours, doing my work and trying to call my boss, but I never did, so after I finished my work I take my things and get out from the company to go home, or that what I thought, in the middle of the ride to my place I realized that I'm going to Mr. Stanford house instead.

*****

And here I am.

I took a deep breath and open my car door and step outside, after closing my car I go to the door and knock, after deep breath and some engorgement word of course.

After what feel like forever the door opened by Mr. Stanford himself, I forget what I was thinking about and frown, "hi, what are you doing out of bed?" I said

He look surprised at first but smile after and said "well hi, what are you doing here, at my house?"

I flash immediately from embarrassing and look at my feet, don't want him see me blush. "em ........i ..........i was....."I stuttered.

He smile and opened the door more to let me inside" come in"

After I get inside I turn to Mr. Stanford "I'm so sorry if I'm bothering you, I didn't mean to come without calling first." I said with a blush and looking everywhere but him.

"Don't worry about it, do you want anything to drink or eat?" he said with tiered tone.

"who is going to do it if I say yes?" I ask while rising an eyebrow

"me of course." He said it like 'daah'

"oh no sir, you are not going to do anything, you shouldn't even be here, you should be in bed." I said

"oh come on, I didn't do anything since yesterday, when I been rudely sent to my house unwillingly may I add." He said looking directly at me.

"you were sick and you still are, and you need rest to get better." I said with a blush.

"What are you doing here Ella?" he asked softly with a tired sigh.

I mask the hurt about him not want to see me and say "oh, well, I came here to see how are you and to tell you that the guys are asking about you because they didn't know where were you, but I told them that you has a business meeting at some country and you fly there first thing in the morning today." I take a deep breath "I'm sorry if I bother you or make you do something you don't want to yesterday, it won't happened again , I hope you get better, I'm going to go, sorry if I bother you now, sorry again." I then added softly and headed to the door while trying hard to not cry, he didn't meant it, I keep repeat that so I won't burst in tears right here right now.

Before I rushed the door I felt his hand taking mine, I stopped to see what he want but I didn't turn around, "I didn't mean it like that, I'm just tired and want to rest." He said with a soft sigh

I turn around to look at him after I make sure that I'm not crying, but I wasn't prepared to how close we were, he was too close to my liking, way to close, not that I'm complaining, I can smell his cologne from here, and oh god how I wish I could just hug him and to burn my face in the crock of his neck. I was eye level with his chest, I have to look up so I can look at his beautiful eyes, "I ...." I cleared my voice then say again "it's okay, you should rest, I will go now, I'm sure whoever is taking care of you will not like seeing you out of bed for this long." I said with a sad smile and I try to go, the key word try, he didn't let go off my hand so I stopped and turn around to look at him but I saw him looking at me with emotion that I didn't have the time to analyze it because he mask it quickly and say while looking in my eyes " if I say that I'm bored and tired and hungry and I really want some made home meal and want some company in here , what would you say?"

"I would say to go to your room and rest in your bed, put a movie" he had a small smile in his face that go with my word but has been replaced by grin after my next words, "that of course after you show me the way to the kitchen and where everything I need it is, to make a healthy meal for the both off us." I add with a smile.

"Okay, this way." He said and led the way to the kitchen.

When we stood in the kitchen all I was thinking is Emily will be amazed and she will love to cook here, I was brought back from my thought by Mr. Stanford voice "you can do whatever you want in here."

"Okay, i will make a chicken soup and some boiled vegetables" I said to him

"okay." He said some what disappointing,

"You look disappointed" I tell him

"Will yeah, I thought I would get some steak or something like that"

"You would love that, wouldn't you" I said smirking

"Will, hell yeah" he said with big smile

"okay" I said while giggling "I will take that you love this meal"

"I love everything with steak" he cut me off

" Sorry to disappoint you but you are sick and you need some soft food right now." I said with a smile and began to work

There was silence so I thought that Mr. Stanford is gone. Until he suddenly said, "do you always cook?" which made me scream and turn around quickly, , he was taking a seat at the bar and watching me.

"Oh my god, don't do that, you scare me to death" I said after my heart beat go back to normal, well as normal as it can be when he's around.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He said with an amused expression and was trying hard not to smile, but failed.

"Oh you didn't mean it? Then why the smile?" I asked him with rising eyebrow.

"I'm sorry but your face." he said that with a small smile on his face, he should smile more.

"oh come on." I said to him and turn around to continue cooking and so he won't see my smile.

"Okay." He said

"it's okay, I just thought you were in your room resting." I told him.

"I feel like my mum is here." He said to me

"haha, very fanny." I said

"any way you didn't answer me, do you cook offen?" he asked and come to stand next to me to see what I'm doing, then add " do you want any help?"

"thank you, but Mr. –" he interrupted me by saying " Arrow"

"what?"

"call me Arrow, there is no one here except us." He said

"but Mr. –"

"no buts, I want you to call me Arrow whenever we are alone."

"okay ......... Arrow." I said then add with a smile " its feels weird and nice in the same time." ,

"anyway, Arrow you shouldn't be in the kitchen." I said

"but I'm hungry." He said with a pout, oh my god he look so cute

"don't do that." I said, "god how can anyone say no to you with that face." I add quietly but not enough because he heard me and was chuckling at what I said.

"oh I know that, but for your information no one said no to me with this face." He said an amusing smile.

"oh my god." I said while blushing like crazy.

"it's okay, now what can I do?" he asked

"the diner is almost ready, so can you set the table?" I asked

"yes boss." He said. I love the carefree Arrow.

After he take the dishes and go to set the table, I put the last touches on it then take it to the diner room.

After we settle down and we both have a plate we began to eat.

"this is good, very good, thank you" he said

Me being me I blush and said a quiet 'you are welcome' to him, which win me a smile.

"can I ask you something?" I said to him

"you just did." He said with a testing smile.

"Arrow." I said it with a little bit whining

"okay shot." He said with amusement.

"who taking care of you?" I asked

He look at me with an emotion I didn't have the time to read it before he answer me saying" no one is here, so no one."

After he said that I look at him in disbelieving, all the time I was wondering if someone is taking care of him or if he wants anything or doing any better, he was alone.

"Where is your mom, if you don't mind me asking?" I asked

"She is in Spain, I give her a gift, a tour around the world, and I'm not going to ended for her because something small." He said

"Okay, I understand but don't you have a brother or sister?"

"I have a sister who wins a scholarship to work in some company in the cloth industry, and two brothers who are busy working." He said that while eating.

"I'm sorry if I bother you with questions." I said and look at my food, not hungry anymore, no one should be alone when he's sick.

"I'm not alone, my friend sam came with her son today to see me, she left before you came." He said.

I blush when I realized that I said that a loud, so I said "sorry, I didn't mean to, but my grandma was saying that no one deserve to be alone when he's sick no matter what, and I think that too."

"don't worry, she's right." He said

After we done eating I start to clean the table and then doing the dishes, all the time Arrow being silence, did I do something or say anything wrong.

"I'm sorry if I upset you with my talking." I said softly

He jump at my voice, I think he has been so deep in thought, and say "what?"

"I said I'm sorry if I upset you earlier, I didn't mean to" I repeat,he look at me for a minute then a sad small smile make it way to his face and say.............
