•Chapter 20•
The hot swarmed around my aching muscles in the porcelain tub. I took in a deep breath, letting my fevered body to begin to cool down. I pulled the curtain forward to cover my naked body when a knock filled the bathroom.
"Come in!" I yelled.
I heard the door unlock before hearing Harry's voice. "Hey, you alright?" He asked, taking more steps into the room. I felt his presence come closer to the tub. I saw the curtain pull open slightly. Harry's large hand come through the white curtain. "Take your temperature. Just in case." Harry thinks that I'm sick, he's only trying to be sure.
"I'm alright, but I don't think that I need a thermometer." I replied, running my hand over the surface of the hot water.
"Please," he begged.
I took the plastic thermometer from his hands, sticking it under my tongue. After few minutes, a beeping noise filled the bathroom. I took the device from my mouth, "One hundred-one-point-five." I sighed.
He took the thermometer from my hands. The water began to get cold, lowering my temperature.

The bath didn't work, my body heat was still sky high. It lowered to One hundred, but that was it. Harry had to go into the city to buy some medication while I lay hopeless in the bedroom.
I heard the front door slam and his hard footsteps carry through the hallways. He entered the room, popping the prescription bottle open with ease. He handed me a bottle of water. "Take one of these in the morning and another before you go to sleep until the pills run out." He instructed. A small white pill fell into his hand. He closed the bottle and handed me the white pill.
I placed the pill onto my tongue, chugging it down with the cold water. He placed his ice cold hand on my forehead. "You're still really warm." He stated. "Mind if I lay down?" He questioned, taking my hand in his.
"Please?" I asked, wanting to know that he would actually stay with me.
He smirked, laying down on the bed next to me, taking me into his embrace. Teakwood filled my senses when he pulled me closer, his cold hand rubbing up and down my back, goosebumps filling the bare skin on my arms and legs.
