**********

Jeanette's POV*

I was currently downstairs making some omelets and trying not to fall a sleep. After Ryder's nightmare I was not able to go back to sleep.

"Morning honey!"

Dad walked in and headed straight to his coffee mug which had steam coming out of it.

"Morning dad"

"I'm guessing you're staying home today"

I nodded my head before flipping the omelette.

"Well I'm off to work! Call me if you need anything"

"Bye dad"

I placed the omelets on plates and served some orange juice in two cups. I put them on a food tray and made my way upstairs. I placed the food on my night stand and turned to Ryder.

I lightly placed my hand on his forehead to check if his fever was gone. He groaned as he moved around my bed. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at me in confusion.

"How are you feeling sleepy head?"

He rubbed his eyes and looked around my room.

"What happened? Why am I in your room?"

He tried to push himself up to a sitting position. His arm shot up to his side as his face turned into a pained one. I quickly rushed to his side and helped him. I set the tray with food on his lap. His eyes snapped to mine. They are the kind of eyes you could stare at all day and never get tired of them. His lips began to curl into a small smile.

"Is this for me?"

I nodded my head and pushed the tray closer to him. He took the fork and devoured his food in seconds.

"How are you feeling?" I asked again.

He gulped down his juice and set it on the tray.

"I don't feel shitty but I've been better"

I took the tray off his lap and set it back on my night stand. I went to my bathroom and got a new bandage.

"Take off your shirt"

I walked in my room only to see a smirk plastered on Ryder's face.

"Jeanette if you wanted to drool over my abs, all you had to do was ask"

I rolled my eyes and walked toward him.

"I just need to change your bandage"

Drooling over your abs is just a plus

He wrapped his fingers on the hem of my brother's shirt and pulled it off. His defined abs came into view making my eyes widen. Even if I've seen him shirtless before, it feels like the first time I did.

I slowly reached for the small hook of the bandage. I felt Ryder's body tense as my fingers came in contact with his skin. I carefully removed the bandage and replaced it with a clean one. He pulled the shirt over his head. He swung his legs to the side of the bed and tried to stand.

"What do you think you are doing?"

I pushed him back on my bed. A smirk grew on his face.

"I see you're eager to keep me in your bed"

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't flatter yourself! I hate the fact that you're on my bed considering the fact that you covered my pillow with your sweat. Lucky for you I'm not that bad of a human being, I'm going to let you have my bed until you get better"

He groaned as he laid back down. I grabbed the T.V remote and turned on the T.V. I logged in to my Netflix and looked over at Ryder.

"Any requests?" 

He took the remote from my hands and began searching for something to watch. I looked at him surprised at his choice.

"You want to watch Playful Kiss?"

(A/N: Playful Kiss is a Korean drama! I posted a small part of it for you guy to see! I absolutely love it! You guys should give it a chance and watch it!)

"My sister made me watch the first episode and it is quite interesting"

I nodded and sat next to him on my bed. I watched as the main girl was stopped by a pervert who wanted her to see him naked. Because he had her shoe, she was stupid enough to agree to seeing him. The main guy came on time and was able to prevent the girl from seeing the naked man and got her shoe back.

"You know you're just as stupid as the main character"

Ryder looked over at me and gave me a confused look. 

"Last time I checked I didn't agree to see a naked man with a heart shaved onto his chest"

"No but you were stupid enough to piss off the man from yesterday and got yourself stabbed. In a way I am the main guy and you are the main girl"

He scoffed before crossing his arms.

"I was stabbed, so technically you aren't"

"I did manage to knock the guy out and save your ass from bleeding out and dying"

He sighed and let his head hang low. He massaged his neck before looking up at me. His blue eyes connected with mine making a shiver run down my spine. I tried to gulp down the nervous feeling that was beginning to form. 

"Thank you"

He whispered. I nodded my head. His eye remained fixed on mine. I wanted to look away but I couldn't bring myself to do so. He leaned in closer to me. I felt my eyes close as his warm breath fanned my lips. His lips brushed mine before he pulled away and cleared his throat. My eyes snapped open. I looked away as I tried to hide the blush that was forming on my face.

"Um how do you like the drama so far?" He asked awkwardly.

"It's good" I blurted out. 

What am I doing? Yesterday I wanted to rip him into pieces. I forgot about everything that had happened between us as soon as I saw he was in danger. Now I'm here wishing he would have kissed me instead of pulling away. This guy will seriously drive me insane in the next few days. I honestly don't know what it is about him that makes me want to kiss him even when I want to punch him. 

What are his stupid intentions with me? Why did he shut me down right after what happened at the party? Why did he kiss me in the hallway yesterday? Why did he just pull away from a kiss that could have possibly been the best kiss of my life? Why the fuck is Ryder clouding my mind with questions?
