Chapter 26

Kailah's POV

"Kailah . . I have something to tell you.", Dylan whispered in my ear.

"Um, Okay. Shoot.", I replied. I was feeling nervous and I didn't know why. Maybe it's because this is the first time that I've seen him look so serious. Honestly, I was not used to him acting like this. I've always seen him as a cute and carefree kid. "I . .", he started and I noticed that his hands were now on either side of my shoulders, gripping them tightly. I suddenly felt my mouth go dry and the air suddenly turned hot. I know that it's summer, but it's friggin' night time, people! Why did the temperature shoot up like the sun was friggin' above u-

My mental rant was cut off when I felt his body jerk towards me. I was shaking, "Dylan, w-whatever you're doing, i-it's not funny!", I scolded him through clenched teeth. "Kailah, I . . ", he spoke and I could feel his hot breath tickling my nose so I quickly twisted my head, facing forward.

He's never gone this far with his theatrics before. I gulped hard. What is he trying to say anyway? Why isn't he finishing whatever he wants to sa-

I gasped and couldn't help it as my heart beat quickened at an impossible rate. I felt it. I felt something hot and soft on my neck and I knew what it was. I could feel his breath fanning my jaw and I was certain that whatever that hot and soft thing pressed on my neck were Dylan's lips.

"Your theatrics have gone too far, Dyla-", I started to scold him, turning my head to face him and was horrified when I looked at his state.

His body was slumped on me, both his arms now dangling limp to my side. He had his eyes closed and he was panting. "Dylan?!", I exclaimed, alarmed. I held his face so that he looked at me. As my hands got in contact with his face, I gasped loudly and my eyes grew wide. He was hot! Well, not that kind of hot. He was burning. I held him close to my body. His body was all hot, he was trembling and I could hear him groaning.

I panicked, "I-Ian", I called out and I cursed inwardly at how weak it sounded. "Yeah?", he answered, but I could tell that he wasn't looking at our direction. "IAN!!", I shouted, gaining his attention, as well as the others around us. That should do it. I guess he heard the alarm in my voice as I heard shuffling and he was immediately in front of Dylan and my form.

I looked at him and saw that his face held confusion and I know that it's odd, but I swear I also saw anger in them. But I dismissed it, "D-Dylan, He's sick!", I announced, looking at Ian like he was someone who could make everything better. I noticed how his confused face turned to that of understanding and relief?

"Here, give him to me.", Ian instructed and I obliged, letting Dylan go into Ian's arms. In one swift motion, he carried Dylan, bridal style, like he weighed nothing more than a feather. Woah! I had to stop whatever it was I was going to do upon seeing him do that. I unconsciously licked my lower lip as I saw his muscles flex when he lifted Dylan. That is one hot piece of art sculptured by the go- I choked on air. WTF Kailah! Someone's sick and you're thinking of something inappropriat- "Kailah? Are you okay?", I heard Ian ask.
