Wild Flower Ch. 05

"Fuck!" Jack cursed, furiously rising. He was breathing really fast and his entire body was trembling in fear and anger. "What did he come to do here? Shouldn't he have just sat his big ass down and go crazier? Why did he have to ruin this moment?"

Jack was really mad at Angelo for doing what he had actually done. He shouldn't have ruined that moment at all. He shouldn't have even stepped his feet on that company. Why did he have to spoil everything? Couldn't he have enjoyed his wonderful life with the man he loved for a few minutes without being interfered? He was really, really mad.

"And did Gabriel have to kiss him like that?" He said harshly, throwing some papers off the table. "Why does he always do this to me?"

Jack was madder than mad. He had no idea what to do next. But what could he do? He was really helpless and there was just so much in his mind. His heart was pounding and he was burning in anger. He hated Angelo so much for everything.

"I will have him all to myself." He promised.

***

Angelo and his husband really had a good day. They stopped by an ice cream shop and had a wonderful and romantic time enjoying those ice creams. At least, Angelo was able to feel better and wonderful. He had some slight headaches but that was nothing to worry about. After all, he didn't want his husband to worry unnecessary. Besides, his hallucinations were probably the worst. What was really happening?

That day Angelo and his husband went home and spent a romantic time together. They just sat in the hot tub and enjoyed feeling each other's bodies closer to each other. Angelo was seated between his husband's legs while enjoying the kisses he was receiving from him. That day he was really happy and he even forgot about what had happened to him when he visited the doctor earlier that day. All that was in his mind was to be happy.

Angelo and Gabriel made love and slept in each other's arms. During that night, Angelo had yet another nightmare in which he woke up and screamed. He was feeling as if someone had just slapped his cheeks hard and they were hurting terribly. He screamed and screamed and could have sworn he felt it.

That night Angelo probably had the worst headache ever. It was splitting and he felt as if his head was about to come off. He felt as if something was moving in his body, hurting him terribly. He felt as if his entire body was in pain. His heart was pounding and his breaths were really harsh.

But as usual, his husband was able to support him and understand him even after suffering a bit for him. He loved how his husband was taking care of him. Things weren't going well for him. He didn't know where his life was going.

After struggling to sleep the previous night, Angelo woke up the next morning feeling weak and dizzy. His headache wasn't that bad but he was feeling weak and he couldn't understand why. He had his medicine but they didn't seem to help him at all.

Angelo didn't tell his husband that things were getting out of control. He rather allowed him to go to work and then cried to himself afterwards. He had no idea what to do anymore rather than cry and drown in his own sorrows. He was just really sick that day.

***

Angelo was seated on his bed with his face on his palms, trying to massage his head. He was feeling a little weak and his head was hurting. His vision was somehow blurring from time to time. His heart was racing and he just didn't know what to do anymore. He had taken his medicine and yet nothing was really happening. In fact, he was starting to lose faith in the drugs that he was taking because they were truly not helping him at all.

Suddenly, Angelo heard the door to the bedroom opening. He quickly moved his face up to find his husband looking tired and stressed. He was looking smart and he was holding his jacket wonderfully. It was already evening and he felt really happy after seeing his handsome husband.

"Baby?" Angelo slowly got up and rushed towards his husband. He kissed him softly on the lips. "You are finally here."

"Yeah," Gabriel sighed, gripping his husband's waist. They both went inside the room and sat on the bed facing each bother.

"So... how was your lovely day?"

Gabriel sighed, looking right into Angelo's face. "It was okay but I must say, it was stressful and tiresome. I am really tired especially with the all the work and the clients."

"Yeah," Angelo said, ignoring his weakness. He rubbed on his husband's shoulders, trying to calm him down and forget about his stressful day. "I totally understand you. Work at the companies is really stressful especially for a boss like you."

"Yeah," He moved towards Angelo, wearing a face which Angelo didn't like.

"Hey!" He cupped his cheeks, rubbing on them sweetly. "What seems to be the problem? Why the wrong face, my love."

"Well!" He cleared his voice, holding Angelo's hands tightly. "There is an important meeting which I have to attend, my love."

"So?" Angelo shrugged, chuckling softly. "Go on and attend it. After all, you are the boss."

"Yeah," He sighed gloomily, dropping his eyes to the floor. "But this meeting is not at our main company. It is at one of your branches in the next town. That means that I have to leave for the next town and the meeting might take place for two or three days."

"So what?" He chuckled softly. "You have to attend that meeting since it is so important. You know you can't trust anyone to handle such meetings. You need to leave for that meeting if it is really important, my love."

"It is." He placed soft kisses all over Angelo's hand.

"Then why are you wearing that face."

"I don't want to leave you alone." Gabriel said with a sad sigh. But of course, he needed a break from everything that was happening. "I wanna be with you and spend time with you and on the other hand there is this..."

"You must go. There is nothing to worry about." He reassured. "I will really be fine. I am gonna be okay."

"I know that you can tell me that but..."

"No buts," Angelo shook his head, feeling his vision blur for a second. "You must leave for this really important meeting. You don't have to worry about me or anything else. I will be fine right here without you okay?"

"But..."

"It's just two days." Angelo said with a serious look. "I think I can survive two days without you. I will take care of myself and I will take my drugs on time. Just go out there and make more money." He teased, hitting his husband softly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" He nodded. "I wouldn't have told you this if I wasn't so sure. Just go and attend to the meeting and company matters. I don't think I will be able to get nightmares while you are gone. You just have to go, my love."

"Okay. I will do that but can't you go with me?" Gabriel was hoping not. "Please."

Angelo smiled at his husband, rubbing on his cheeks. As it was, Angelo was hiding the state of his health from his husband. He didn't want to put more burdens on his head. He needed to make him calm and reassure him he was fine. He just didn't need that and...

"No!" He sighed, shaking his head. "I don't think I am ready for travel, baby. I need to stay right here where I know I will be fine. I don't want to experience anything more than I am already experiencing. Just go and I shall be right here waiting for you. Just promise me you will come back as soon as that meeting ends."

"Okay. I promise." Gabriel grinned with a sweet kiss on his lips. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

They just got lost staring into each other's eyes and getting lost in each other's eyes, well Angelo got lost in Gabriel's beautiful and sexy grey eyes. He was simply the best and Angelo was really glad he was his husband and the most loving man on earth.

"Ahem!" Gabriel cleared his throat, holding Angelo's hands tightly. "By the way, there are some important documents that you need to sign before I leave tomorrow morning, my love. I have had them for some time but you must sign them."

"What documents?"

"Excuse me."

Gabriel rushed and came back with a file from the company. He took out some documents which were quite many, maybe seven or so. Then he held them tightly and handed one to Angelo, still smiling at him.

"Here, these are some important company documents which urgently needs your signature..."

"Okay. Give me a pen." Angelo still had his sexy eyes on his husband. "I will sign them as quickly as I can."

"Wait!" Gabriel raised one of his eyebrows. "Aren't you gonna go through those documents before signing them. I think it's really important that you pass through them to make sure that everything is perfect."

Angelo smiled at his husband, shaking his head. "Have you read through them?" Gabriel nodded. "Well! I trust you so much and I know that nothing is wrong since you've reviewed the documents. That's what is really important to me. I trust you and I love you."

"Oh! That's really sweet. Thank you so much."

"Besides," He continued. "I don't think I am ready for a splitting headache when I read through these files. You know how I get."

"Okay. Go ahead and sign them." He chuckled, handing the pen over to Angelo.

Angelo took the pain and with Gabriel's guidance where his signature was needed, he signed the document and handed it over to Gabriel, smiling brightly at him. He felt really happy that he had given his husband his post. He was such a great and wonderful worker.

"Here you go." Angelo handed Gabriel the documents happily. "I have signed them all."

Gabriel smiled, taking the document away.

"Here are the other ones." He handed them over to Angelo. "They need your signatures too."

"Fine!"

Angelo took the document and started signing them but before he was done, the pen stopped writing and his heart raced. He couldn't understand why. Gabriel quickly provided a new pen and showed Angelo where he had to sign the documents. He followed his husband's aid and then signed the documents wonderfully.

"Here you go."

"Thank you so much."

Gabriel slipped the documents back in his bag, closing the zipper. Then he gripped Angelo harder and planted a hot kiss on his sweet puckered lips. He kissed him for a really long time as the both of them moaned in each other's mouths.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Gabriel grasped the back of Angelo's head, bringing him closer to his chest. He laid his head on his chest as he passed his fingers through his soft hair. Angelo felt happy and a little excited at his husband's sweetness. He was more than happy with how everything was going though he was a little weak. He just loved his husband like so much.

***

The next morning, Gabriel woke up really early and got dressed for his journey. He was only putting on a beautiful blue skinny jean, yellow shirt which he had tucked in his wonderful jean and yellow sneakers which he loved like crazy. He was looking like a super star in his outfit but he loved it like crazy.

"Are you ready?" Angelo asked as soon as his husband came back to the room all dressed up.

"Yes! I think so."

"Good!" He laughed softly, moving closer to his husband. "By the way, you look really sexy today?"

"Why? Thank you so much." Gabriel loved the compliment. "It feels so good coming from my husband." He gripped his waist tighter, bringing him into a really sweet kiss. "But I know you are only telling me this because I am your husband."

"No!" Angelo was slowly buttoning Gabriel's shirt. "You sure look sexy. I am sure many men won't be able to keep their eyes off my cute husband."

Gabriel breathed, wrapping his arms tightly around Angelo. "They may look all they want because all this is for you, my love. I only have eyes for you and I will never ever look at anyone else when I have you by my side."

"Really?"

"Yes! Trust me on this one, my love." He chuckled and then got his face serious. "Don't forget to take your drugs while I am away, okay?"

"I won't. You shouldn't worry about that one."

"Alright." Gabriel kissed Angelo one more time on the lips. "I am gonna miss a lot, baby. I will really, really miss you in these coming two days."

"I will miss you more." Angelo moaned softly, licking his lips. "But we will talk and video chat whenever you have free time."

"I get it." Gabriel pulled Angelo into a really tight hug.

Pulling away from that wonderful hug, Angelo and Gabriel rushed down the stairs and went outside where Gabriel's car was waiting for him. After saying their goodbyes and their I love yous, Gabriel hugged Angelo one more time before finally departing from him.

Angelo watched as his husband's car left. He felt as if his husband was gonna be gone for a really time. He was missing him already but something was definitely not right with him. He was getting really weak and he just couldn't understand the reason why that was so. He'd been feeling since a few days back though he hid it from his husband.

The day went by without Angelo seeing his husband. His husband called him late in the evening that he had arrived at the hotel where he was staying at. He was just glad that his husband had reached the town safely. He was more than happy that was so.

That night, Angelo really had a hard time sleeping alone. He was so used to his husband's chest that he needed him badly. He wanted his goodnight kiss and his husband's warm arms wrapped tightly around him but he couldn't get any of those things. His husband was not in town and though they had said their goodbyes to each other, Angelo was still missing him so much.

Though Angelo had a really bad nightmare which scared him a whole lot, he was glad he didn't wake like he usually did because he had no idea what would have happened without his husband over there to comfort and calm him down.

***

Angelo was slowly coming down the stairs, looking straight at his palm. He was having three tablets of the drugs which he usually had to make him feel better. He had just come from the room after spending the entire morning in his room just drowning in his sorrows. He had even cried a bit.

Angelo was feeling a little weak and his body was vibrating in a way which he didn't like. Only God knows what had happened to him that morning. He didn't even want to eat anything in his mouth. He just wanted to be alone. He wanted to just be alone and think clearly for once about his life which was not his anymore. There was just so much missing in his life.

Angelo went to the living room where he sat on the couch, still looking at the drugs in his hands.

"What's the use of taking these drugs if they don't help?" He sighed gloomily, clenching the drugs harder in his hand. "They are really useless."

Ina fit of anger and frustration, Angelo threw the drugs away from himself. He promised that he wasn't gonna take those drugs that particular day. He didn't know what was gonna happen to him after stopping to have the drugs but...

"There is nothing worse that can happen more than I am experiencing right now."

With a quick nod, Angelo lay on the couch and just tried to forget about everything that was going on. But after a few minutes, he was suddenly struck by a really splitting headache that made him wince and cry a little. His dizziness got out of hand and his vision blurred. He felt nauseas and he experienced sharp stomach pains that he couldn't describe.

Angelo's pain was increasing every day. He just didn't know what else he had to do to get rid of those problems and pains. He just sat there and drowned in his pain and sorrows. He just wanted to understand what was going on. If he was to die then he was ready to die too just to remove those things from his life.

***

Angelo was lying on the couch with his arms crossed on his chest. It was evening already and he had been lying on that couch ever since he came out of the room. He didn't even eat or drink anything. The pain he had been experiencing was no longer there but there was still much more in his life that he still needed to understand. There was just a lot that was missing. Angelo was still a little weak and he had no idea why he was scared.

As Angelo was lying on the couch, he heard footsteps coming towards him. It wasn't long before Alicia came right in front of him. She wasn't wearing a smile on her face like she usually did because she was sad over what had been happening to Angelo lately.

"Angelo..."

"Please. Leave me alone, Alicia." He said softly, surprising even her. Angelo had never spoken to her the way he did at that particular time so it was really surprising to her. But she didn't care the way he talked to her as long as he was alright.

"Angelo, please come and have your dinner. I have prepared one of your favorites and..."

"I don't care." He said, sounding not to care. "I don't care what you have prepared. I don't want to eat anything because I am not hungry."

"Angel," She sighed, getting a little closer to him. "You haven't had anything in your stomach since this morning. You must eat something to have some..."

"Alicia, I am please begging you to leave me alone." He slightly raised his voice.

"How can I leave you alone in a condition like this?" She felt tears building in her eyes. "You are literally killing me Angelo. It hurts to see you passing through this."

"Why?"

"Because I love you so much, Angelo and I want to see you eternally happy." She said with a soft chuckle, looking in his direction. "You don't deserve what you are passing through, Angelo."

Hearing what the woman had to say, Angelo felt tears building in his eyes. He didn't wanna get emotional but she was getting him in that mood and he really didn't appreciate it at all. What was he to do?

"Alicia..."

"Eat something, Angelo."

"Didn't you hear me?" He slightly raised his voice. "I told you I am not hungry. Why can't you understand any of what I am saying?"

"You haven't had anything to eat." Alicia argued, shaking her head. "You must have something Angelo, my son."

"Alicia. Please!"

Angelo couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. They came right out of his eyes. Tears poured down his face in millions, flooding his face. That was probably the first time he had cried like that in front of anyone other than his husband.

"Please. I am not your son." He sobbed softly as more tears escaped his eyes. "Why don't you understand that, Alicia? Please. I am begging you."

"You are my son." Alicia chuckled bitterly, leaning down in front of him. "I love you like my son and I will always love you, Angelo. You are hurting me when I see you like this. Please. Try and eat something. This is not healthy for you."

"Alicia." Angelo cried. "Why can't you leave me alone? What should I..."

"My son, please eat something."

"No..." Angelo furiously rose from the couch, looking angrily at the woman. "I am not your son." He yelled with tears following. "Why is it that hard to understand me? Why can't you leave me alone?"

"Angelo, look I am really sorry..."

"Just leave me alone." He said slowly, rubbing his tears off. "I don't wanna talk to you or anybody else. Why is it so hard to understand me?"

"You haven't eaten anything." Alicia sighed, looking straight at him. "You don't have to punish yourself like this. I understand what you are going through is really hard but... you'll get better. I know this is going to happen soon."

Angelo moved his face away as more tears made its way down his sweet cheeks. Then he started feeling a little bit of headache and rubbed on his head. He didn't like what he was experiencing. The pain in his life was just too much.

"Are you okay?" Alicia sounded worried when she saw the painful expression on his face. "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"What does it matter?" He chuckled bitterly, looking pitifully at her. "I feel it and it's a part of me now. What can I do?"
