XVI. - Nurse Maine -

 "Is the chicken soup ready?" she asked one of the maids. 

 "I'll check." the maid replied and left the room. Maine looked at Alden and realized how attractive he is even if he's sick. His white skin looked even paler but there's this certain pinkish blush on his cheek that made him look even more American. She placed one of her hands on his forehead and flt how hot his body temperature is. 

"Told you I'm hot." he whispered.

"Shut up." she replied, grinning at him. 

"Thank you for coming."

 "You're welcome. Now get better will ya?" she asked and he once again fell asleep. 

The maid then came in with a bowl of hot chicken soup. Suddenly, Alden seemed to be having a slight trouble in breathing. Maine quickly panicked and asked what's going on.

"Maybe his fever is high." the maid replied.

"Please ... please." the young girl whispered before tucking the thermometer right in between his soft lips. 

"Ma'am, do you want anything else?" 

"Can you please prepare him a new set of clothes? His body will start sweating and that will hopefully break his fever. "

Suddenly, Maine's phone started ringing. She pulled it out of her bag and saw her mom's name right on the screen.  

"Hey Mom!" she greeted. 

"Where are you?" she asked. 

"I'm with my friends."

"No you're not. I saw Hannah and Jake inside the mall ... you told me this morning you'll be with them."

"I was with them. Come on Mom, it's not like they're my only friends." she replied;, trying to squeeze herself out of the situation.

"Fine .. but don't come home late alright? We have a family dinner."

"Okay, bye Mom."

"Bye."

 "I don't know what to do." Vanessa told Andrew  before she started pacing back and forth inside his room. 

"What? I thought you moved on from him?"

"I thought so too! Turns out, I haven't."

"So what are you planning to do? He has a girlfriend now."

"Are you sure he loves her?" she asked, hoping for a no. 

"Yeah. What? ... wait ... don't tell me you plan on getting back with him?"

"I don't know Andrew, I'm so confused."

 "Do you love Riley?"

 "I do but ..."

 "But what?"

 "i think I love Alden more."

Maine squeezed the wet towel and placed it on Alden's head, he then smiled a bit. "You're enjoying this huh?" she then asked after seeing a slight smirk on his face.

"Not really, my whole body's aching" he replied, pointing at his shoulder. 

"Where are your parents?"

"Probably in Paris ... they have been doing tons of business meetings or vacations. I don't know."

"And they always leave you alone in here?"
