Secretly in love

32. Living with my best friend

"Yep just minor head injury and everything looks good and normal" Doctor Lane telling us after running another test and reading my X-ray "we can take off your arm sling in 2 days and also, you need to undergo trauma psychiatrist"

I nodded to her and muttered thanks.

"Summer" I'm too stunned to react when Mateo shows up in the room and rushes to hug me "I'm so thankful that you're safe and alive, you got me worried"

"Ththank you for your concern" I say after he pulled apart but it really feels awkward and shocking to me.

His eyes switching to Ice which is not looking happy to see him here while Anderson is softly chucking in the corner "Didn't she tell you that we're friends now? May her good friend wins, but don't be too shock if she chooses me over you"

Of how this turned out like another competition in his perspective and now we're all watching Mateo mockingly patted Ice shoulder before he casually walks out of the room wearing a triumphant smirk.

"From now on you stick to my side and stay away from that freak" I smiled at how cute she is but eventually worn out after seeing her serious stern face.

****

After check up we went straight to her place that is also——my place now too.

My eyes roam around in awe of how my things are already set up and my room is already cleaned with my bed on it already "Oh my god" and now feeling guilty again of moving here that caused a lot of hassle to Ice family and her as well "I'am so sorry Ice" I sincerely apologize to her sudden burden.

She place down her bag and walking over the kitchen then start to take out my medication from the paper bag. I guess, she doesn't wanna talk about it so I start to walk into direction of my room "Summer" my head rushing towards her, of how she is so serious right now "Don't do that again"

I bit the inside of my cheek, definitely hating myself for being stupid sometimes "I swear that it was just a mere seconds when I closed my eyes and I didn't mean to—"

But my whole body turned frozen while watching her walking towards me—and I'm mentally ready if she's going to scold me but— instead, finding myself wrapped in her arms, making my breathing becomes heavy while feeling her comforting warmth "Without you everything is so dark and it made me realized of how I'm going to hate my job if I couldn't save you" it made me smile knowing that somehow I have an effects on her. I lift up my arms engulfing her body, feeling the intensity of our current situation. She place her chin on top of my head while I inhaled of how my body is so relaxed around her "For the first time, I felt scared that I can fearlessly watch everyone and do my job there....but not to you Summer" her arms tightened around my body as if she's scared that I might go somewhere "And then I realized that I don't want to see you ever in that room"

Of why her sweet words is making me foolishly smile right now. This is the first time since I met her, that she speaks out warm, comforting words. The first time she got scared and how unguarded is her emotion right this very moment and it is making my heart elevated.

She lightly pulled away to look down at me as my eyes automatically meet hers.

My breathing hitches of how my heartbeat becomes uncontrollable....especially when she reached my cheeks to feathery brush it by her thumb.

"In just one snap and you made me realize a lot of things, with a lot of regrets and lot of guilt"

If she could only hears how my heart is beating per seconds in tremendous speed of nervous by just simply gauging her gaze....of how she look so perfect.

My body froze when she leaned down to kiss me in the forehead, down to the tip of my nose and thank god she stop or she might have to send me to ER for real this time.

She leaned her forehead against mine as I caught myself starring to her parted lip. And right now my body is on fire, my heart doubled its speed rate from beating by just simply realizing of how her lip is so tempting and so close....

"Hello we—" both of us nervously detached from one another and right now looking with an awkward smile to Grace "....uhm...you know what girls?" Her brother along with Jace entering the house was pushed back by Grace back outside "we will come back tomorrow okay? Just continue girls whatever you're doing" she says but her family is muttering in confusion of what's going on while they are being pushed out before Grace closes the door in wide smile.

I cleared my throat then gesture to my open room "I uhmm. I'm gonna take a quick bath before sleeping and you too, you should rest and thank you again for everything"

"Do you need help?" She ask before I step inside the room but turn around in creased forehead of what did she just said? "Taking it off?"

"Hhuh?" Please don't make me look like a complete fool of blushing in different shades of red right now.

Her hand pointing to my left arm sling "so you can pulled up your shirt?"

Ok. Consider this one of my most embarrassing moments for thinking that—-never mind. What's important is she meant the arm sling.

"No thank you. Good night and thank you once again" then shut closed the door before exhaling loudly and had to breathe couple of times before it stabilized.
