Hey, My Coffee Lover

Chapter 23

The next day, Sam called me telling me that he's sick. I absentmindedly rolled my eyes at myself when I went to his apartment to see if he's still alive.

And there, I found Sam lying helplessly on his bed while Wella is licking him.

Bumuntong hininga ako bago binaba ang bag at lumapit sa kanya. He is half awake when I touched his forehead. I groaned when I felt how hot he is.

"Sam." I called. He groaned before opening his one eye for me. I arched his brow and his eyes widened.

"You're here!" he said almost to himself. Mabilis syang naupo at napangiwi dahil siguro sa hilo. Umirap ako bago tinulak sya pahiga sa higaan nya.

"Yeah. I'm here." I said putting Wella down the floor so he can lie down comfortably.

Humalukipkip ako bago sya pinagtaasan lalo ng kilay. He smiled sheepishly.

"Do we have a date that I forgot?" he asked, clueless. Umirap ako bago lumapit sa kanya. Bahagya kong tinampal ang braso nya. Napapikit sya sa sakit.

"Ayan, nagkasakit ka pa tuloy! Sabi na dapat hindi tayo naglaro sa ulanan kagabi. Ang tagal mo pang umuwi, tapos ang taas ng lagnat mo!" I said while furrowing my brows.

I saw his lip rose in between of pout and smirk. Pinanliitan ko sya ng mga mata.

"But last night was fun." he defended.

"And you're sick now."

"And I don't mind being sick again if I'll have the chance to do it again... with you." he shoot me a glance.

I hissed and he only chuckled. Lumapit ako sa side table nya at nakita ang thermometer doon.

"When's the last time you checked your temp?"

"Hmm, last night?"

"We should check it now." I said putting it to his underarm. While waiting, I did a quick cleanup to his room. Hindi naman madami dahil mas malinis sya sa akin.

Only Wella's toy and I'm done.

"38.2." he uttered.  I glared at him before grabbing the thermometer.

"Ang taas! Okay ka lang ba?" tanong ko. Ngumisi sya sa akin kaya mas nairita ako.

"How can a sick person smile idiotly like that?" I arched my brows.

"You're telling I'm idiot?"

"I'm telling you you're sick!"

He chuckled and pulled me. Naupo ako sa tabi nya. I felt his heat against my skin. Nag-guilty na talaga ako. Kung hindi naman dahil sa kagabi, hindi sana sya nagkasakit.

"I'm sick yes. But then, there's you. You're here." he whispered.

I stiffened a bit. Nilingon nya ako bago ngumiti. Bumuntong hininga ako at tumayo na.

"Fine, I'll take care of you. You'll be my patient and you need to be really really obedient." I said while narrowing my eyes. He nodded at me continously.

"Noted ma'am. Or wait,... should I say nurse?"

"Nurse for only a day. Dapat wala ka ng sakit bukas."
