Chapter 31

Lisa's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night  with a trembling Jennie in my embrace. She's still burning but she always refuse coming back to the doctor. And also, she's trying her best not be cudly, I guess she's still not over about what happened the other day yet. When she noticed that her hands were too near she'll take it away.

I just want to talk to her and tell her it's not her fault. But I really think I should wait til she become fine

"Nini, are you still cold?" I asked her as her hands were on her chest holding the end of the duvet. I just got a nod for response, I was about to stand up and turn on the heater when she gripped into my sleeves.

"No" she mumbled. She looks cute with tip of her nose and cheeks were slightly red. But I still prefer a well Nini than this sick one.

"Too cold" she added

"I'll just turn on the heater and we'll sleep" and I proceed doing it fast and returning beside her cuddling her close to me

"I hope you'll be better soon Nini" I said and kissed the top of her head.

Morning came and I woke up early to cook for our breakfast. As I finished preparing foods, I went up to our room to be welcomed by a constantly coughing and sneezing Nini.

She's overworking herself.

"Nini, here let's eat and drink your meds afterwards ok?" She's just staring at me.
"What's wrong?"

"Lili, I'm sorry" there she goes again, apologizing for something that she hadn't caused. It's not her fault that I've been scared of such kind of touches.

"Nini, I told you it's fine but please don't get wasted like that again, and don't overwork like this, look what happened" I said as I started feeding her. She just silently finished the food and drink the meds. Her temperature drops already but the cold is still there.

"You have to rest again, I'll be outside ok?" She pouted a little from my statement

"But I just woke up"

"Nope, no more buts, you need this okay? And uhm we'll talk when you get better, yeah" I became nervous all of the sudden, I'm thinking of what she might react but it has to be done.

"About what?" With her brows scrunched

"I told you, we'll only talk when you're already fine. So go and take a rest"
She thinks for a while before she answers

"Only if you cuddle with me" she said with her famous gummy smile. Who am I to decline such offer? I immediately laid my self beside her about to lay her head on my chest when she beat me to it.

"I want to be the one to hold you again, I miss you in my arms" she softly said, hot breathe grazing through my forehead

"I miss being in your arms too"

And I also fall asleep with her. Thoughts full of what and how am I going to confess her everything later.
