The Billionaire’s Song - Chapter 15 Free Falling

Now that Kyle was out of danger I decided it was time time to make my way back to New Yorkbut Kyle and James were having none of it.James lured me to stay with more brilliant business ideas and even suggested wespread out the business presence and open more branches in South Africa’s major cities.So we started on the project immediately but I had to send Andrew back to his family and Emma remained behind.

My visits to the hospital became morefrequent and I even helped with his Kyle baths. He pretended not to trust the nurses to do it and he definitely did not want a male nurse touching him in that way. It was sweet torture but I managed to keep my mind focused on getting him clean but with great difficulty.His body was perfection. Although he hadn’t worked out in a while his six pack was still well pronounced and his body was well toned.

I looked forward to seeing him everyday. It became the highlight of our day. His face would light up as soon as I walked into his private ward and my heart would race and my palms would get clammy. Just one look from him and my stomach would do back flips. This feeling was very foreign to me. I brushed it off and convinced myself that it was just infatuation. It was a passing phase. It couldn’t be love. I just liked Kyle a lot. A whole lot. That’s all.

But deep down inside I knew. I just wasn’t ready to face my true feelings. They would remain buried as long as possible.I didn’t want to get attached but Kyle was like a magnet. He was drawing me in an inch at a time. The way he talked. The way he looked at me, like I was the most beautiful woman that he had ever laid his eyes on. Like no one else existed in the world but us. The way he touched me, so soft and so gentle. It was hard to keep my composure around him.

We got closer as the weeks passed rapidly by. James even joked that we were even beginning to look alike because we spent so much time together. If I didn’t have work and he wasn’t in hospital then I guess we would have been inseparable.

We would have breakfast, lunch and supper together every other day. Then James and I would rush back to work.His chef was brought in and prepared our meals. I spent the weekends with him obviously and the nurses even put another bed in his room specifically for me.Kyle got some of his studio equipment brought in and insisted that he was working on a new album and this was the best time for him to do it.

“I don’t want to lie around doing nothing all day. I need to make music babe.Besides I’ve been so inspired lately,”he’d say looking at me until I blushed down to my toes.

His manager Michael was more than happy about this and he was probably at the hospital more than me.He was confident that this album would top the charts-as usual.

Two months and three surgeries later, Dr Williams saw it fit to send Kyle home, much to his delight.

The nurses were very sad to see him go obviously.His faithful adoring fans were waiting to welcome him outside the hospital.

The reporters were waiting for us like vultures and had so many burning questions.

“What kept you going?”

“Love. I was surrounded by people that love me and stayed by my side through this terrible ordeal.”

“Tell us about your new album?”

“It’s going to be-different.”

“How does it feel to be one of the world’s most eligible bachelor’s?”

“Uuh sorry point of correction there..I’m not eligible..I’m very much taken,” he said smiling as he turned to me and smooched me on live television.

The cameras went crazy..
