CLOSE TO YOU

THREE

Chapter Three:

(WIN)

"Bright, Bright....."

I tried to wake him up but then he didn't even budge. The little sh*t is sleeping in the couch while his head is in a weird position that I'm sure will give him a stiff neck if he continue to sleep like that. After eating I decided to go upstairs while he proceed to watch a movie. But when I was finished and checked on him I saw him sleeping like that downstairs.

"Bright...."

I said but he's still no response. I sighed and decided to carefully lift his head and fix his pillow under it but when I was about to let him go, my breath hitched because I realized how close our faces are. I can feel his soft breathing and it sends signal to my cheeks to heat up. My heart thumped on my chest and that's the only thing I can hear pounding in my ears. I was quick to let him go because that's just too much for me.

I know that I couldn't trust myself around him. Not when he's this close to me. I don't want to do something stupid.

Due to my sudden action I stumbled and landed my butt on the floor.

"Ouch, at least be gentle. Did you forget that I'm having a fever?"

He said that made me in halt.

"You're a-wake?"

I asked in disbelief. He just rolled his eyes then fixed his own pillow. Turning his back on me.

"I should have just let you sleep like that"

I said pouting. He didn't answer me so I took it as a signal that he doesn't want me there anymore. I cursed myself for being stupid again. I'm so embarrassed. I was about to get up but then a sudden knock on the door came.

Bright turned his head and send me a look as if telling me to open the door. Well that's what I'm going to do anyway. I stood on my feet and opened it only to be greeted with Nami.

What is she doing here?

"Hi Win, I'm here to check on Bright"

She said smiling at me. I also smiled at her and opened the door wider then looked at Bright who's also watching us from the living room.

"What are you doing here?"

That's what he said. Wow, is that the way you treat a friend who took an effort to visit when you're sick? He's really a jerk. Tch.

"I got you a food, grumpy cat"

Nami said. I closed the door behind me when she's already inside the house and just watched them. Bright that doesn't even not that weak a while ago is now being assisted by Nami to sit.

Really? Does it really have to be like that?

"I got everything you like and even bought fruit juice that will help you boost your immune system"

Nami said placing the bag of foods on the table.

"You don't have to do that. I just ate awhile ago"

"Really? I should have just came a little earlier. But having a small snack won't hurt right? At least I want to see you eating them"

Nami insists.

"I'm still full"

Bright answered. And Nami pouted.

"Hey I'll just be on my room"
