My Romeo

Chapter 9

Nandini's pov

My eyes flutter open as I yawn a bit rubbing my eyes, my head hurts and I feel warm like I had been sitting at the beach naked for hours with the sun directly hitting me

i look around finding myself in a new environment, quickly realizing I was in manik's room when I turn to see pictures of him on the wall. I curl up closer in the blankets and realize my hand was on manik's back because he laid beside me sleeping.

His lips parted, hair messed up but gosh his handsome face didn't have any signs of tiredness or anything, I notice his hands right next to his face reminding me of the moment I held his hand in the hospital

He was so sweet to me last night, he held me through the night, helped me clam down, stayed with me in the hospital and let me chew his ear off. He even woke up and helped when I threw up in his bathroom.

His soft kisses on my head runs in my head, not just that but the fact that I was in his arms the whole night and he held me with no complains was so nice of him and I can't help but think about it all.

I slowly get out of bed walking to my house after I had covered him with blankets. As soon as I step inside the house, there were people everywhere passed out on the couch, the floor, kitchen everywhere.

Wiping aorund I walk into my room and shower really quick, I felt like I was going to throw up again and guess what, I did right after the shower and before it, lets just say I am never having strawberries or cottage cheese again.

I put on shorts and a t shirt going into manik's house again locking my room door and the house too.

I make my way to the couch grabbing my notebooks from last night, the next couple hours I finish some of my lab work and start working on my English essay, I had to think of a topic but my mind only had manik

It was 10 when I got up and made some scrambled eggs and toast since thats all I could find in the fridge. I also got some orange juice placing it on the tray. I take it to manik's room, a chuckle leaves my mouth as soon as I see him sleeping on his stomach hugging a pillow

I place the tray beside him on the table, I grabbed the pillow from under his arm sitting beside him.

"Hey" I whisper shaking him a little

He hums but doesn't move

"Wake up, I have something for you"

"Are you okay? Gonna throw up?" he asks making me smile

"No, get up please" I say

He groans flipping on his back opening his eyes

"Good morning" I wish smiling

"Morning"

"I made you some breakfast" I whisper

His eyes widen a bit at my words, he looks behind me and then back at me

"You made me eggs?" He asks

"You didn't have any other food in the fridge"

"no, I mean why? I didn't ask you to"

"Jsut like I didn't ask you to take me to the hospital but you did" he smiles closing his eyes

"How are you feeling?" He asks

"Decent, here" I place the tray on his lap

"This is yum, thank you" he mumbles as he was stuffing his face making me smile

After breakfast, I went back to his couch in the living room while he went to shower and things while I finished up some of my school work

My stomach grumbles a bit as I felt everything come back up, I ran into manik's room and thankfully his bathroom was open, I threw up again and like before, he was right there to hold me and rub my back

"Gosh, this is horrible" I groan as I get back on the couch

"This is why you shouldn't eat expired stuff" he says

"Shut up"

"watch that language Juliet" a smile threats to appear on my face whne I hear him refer to me as Juliet

The first time I called him Romeo, it was a slip of tongue but it stuck so I kept using that name and to see him respond and actually use it was sweet

"Sip on this" he says bring me a glass

"Is this drugs?" I ask

"Nope, lemon water. Drugs are expensive and I charge to supply them" I gasp at his words

'Really?" I ask

"Yup, ecstasy, herion are the harder ones to get but coke and weed I got some. You want a joint?" He asks

"You smoke?" I ask

"Of course, every single day, need a puff to sleep, to wake up to and you know with beer. Its great. You should try some"

"Its bad for you" I whisper

"Nah, not if it's in moderations. Should I bring out my bong?" He asks

"Eww what the fuck, no. I didn't know you smoked and did drugs, mhm i well thanks for last night and I gotta go" I say putting the glass back on the table gathering my things

"Clam down Juliet, I'm messing with you"

I turn to face him, a smug smirk on his lips, he is so stupid. I threw my phone in his face making him laugh as he caught it. He leans forward placing his arms on either side of the couch caging me in the middle.

"If you wanna hurt me you gotta throw something bigger Juliet" he whispers kissing my forehead

My eyes close as I feel my skin warm up further due to his kiss, no man has ever kissed me affectionately like that. His mere touch breaks my body into tingles as butterflies flood my stomach

"Drink that while studying and ill give you some medicine with lunch in a bit" he says falling beside me grabbing his laptop

"Is a salad okay nanidni?" I hear his voice

"Huh?" I look up from my laptop

"Salad, chicken salad for lunch well kind of a late lunch" he says looking at his phone

"Oh, mhm yeah, thats fine. Ill come help you" I said

"Wait" he puts his phone and laptop on the table pressing his palm onto my head

"Its not too bad anymore, you can sit on the counter again" he says and I nod 

i walk with him to the kitchen and this time he didn't even wan for me to ask for help, he picks me up sitting me on the counter as he began to cook for us.

"I finished my chemistry lab and you can have the answers" I say kicking my legs

"And may I know why you are so giving and nice today?" He asks

"Because I wanted to be"

"I finished it already but if you have the physics lab ill take it"

"it's yours, I have it done" I said

"Nandini is it because I took you to the hospital?" He asks

"I feel so shitty for ruining your Saturday night, you didn't even get nay sleep and I feel like if I jsut stayed at my house than I could have jus forced myself to sleep you know and you wouldn't even be so bothered. I am so sorry for everything I put your though last night" I ramble on

He sighs when i tell him what I was feeling, he lowers the heat on the stove and walks to me

"I am glad I was there, nandini you didn't put me through anything, I was there because I wanted to be, don't be so weird about it. Friends do these things for each other, I am happy that I was there to help and be there to hold you. I never want you to be alone in such situations, nandini this sin't 1921 that you have to thank me for everything. It was a choice and I made a great one, now stop feeling guilty and feeling all this"

I smile leaning forward, I placed a soft kiss on his cheek, I felt him go ridged for a few minutes before he smiles at me moving away.
