Walls

Chapter 1 part2

"What the?!" he said looking at me surprised.

I just stared at him wide-eyed and speechless. I was too shock to speak. I think I am so shocked that I cannot even make a sound.

"Who..? Am I..?" He stuttered.

He then looked at the bronze plate attached to the door and read the numbers and letter aloud.

"2341-J." He must have taken quite a time to process the information before he spoke again, still in shock. "Oh f*ck! I'm sorry I didn't.. I just.." He began stuttering again when suddenly His already wide eyes seemed to go wider, if that's even possible.

He immediately lowered his head.

His faced looked more flushed than it already were.

It made me wonder what on Earth is happening to him. "I wonder what's happening to him. He seemed as if he has seen a ghost! But, if you saw a ghost, your face will appear pale, but his faced looked... flushed. More flushed to be exact. As if he was embarrassed by something.. what could be.."

Then suddenly realization rushed in me like a sudden gush of blood. Close to the feeling when you suddenly stepped in into a freezing cold shower unprepared.

"I'm only wearing nothing but my undies for Pete's sake!"

That thought echoed in my head like I've been shouting in an extremely wide place.

"Turn around!" I ordered him.

He almost immediately turn around while I tried my best to cover myself with my arms and hands as I look around, looking for something to wrap myself.

Probably due to shock, I wasn't able to think properly and instead of running my way to the bedroom to get my robe, I just took the throw pillow (quite longer than a regular one) and used it to hid myself.

"I'm really sorry. I just got in the wrong floor.. I'm sorry.." He said as he walked his way out and gently closed the door.

As soon as he left and heard the doorknob clicked, I was left staring at the door.

I don't know but I feel wrong.

Something is terribly wrong here.

I went for the door and touched the doorknob.

I doubted for a second if what I am thinking is right.

I held a deep breath the opened the door.

I stick my head out and checked the halls.

Then I saw him again.

He was slowly walking towards the elevator while his left hand holding into the bars alongside and his right hand holding his head.

He hasn't even that far yet. He's just within 10-15feet away from my door.

"H-hey." I called, unsure if I let that out loud enough.

He stopped and turned his body towards my voice.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "I mean, uhm.. your face looks flushed." I added.

"Not good, to be honest.. Flu I guess."

"Do you have anybody with you in your place?"

"I live on my own." He said as he slowly shook his head.

"Uhm.. You can.. umm.. I don't know. I was just thinking of offering you to stay here?"

Despite his weak appearance he looked at me puzzled. Even I, myself is puzzled by my actions.

"I am a nurse. I can help you if you want."

"Are you sure?" He asked in which I nodded.

"I guess, I may really need help right now." He said as he slowly nod.

He then slowly made his way back to my place.

"Wait!" I said. "Ill just change. Ill be quick I promise."

He nodded and waited patiently outside my door.

I quickly put a shirt and sweatpants then made my way to him.

I guided him in towards my couch.

"Shocks! He's too hot!" I said to myself immediately after our skin got in contact. I'm not sure which meaning of hot did I meant.

"So, I'm Yel. I'm a registered nurse but not yet an USRN. I can assure you though that I am trained and I do not intend to harm you. Would you like me to help?" I introduced.

"Yes, please." He said

"Do you have any health issues that I must know? Allergies? Transmittable illness? Injuries?"

"None."

I checked his temperature and took two basins of ice cold water in it along with three face towels.

"39.5°C.. Gosh. You are definitely too hot. Ill just get a medicine. Place this first in your head to help you cool down. This is ice cold okay?"

He nodded as I placed the face towel over his head.

I quickly took a medicine out of my kit and took a glass of water.

"Here take this." I showed him the medicine as he took it along with a gulp of water.

"Mind if I take your clothes off? Ill give you a sponge bath to help you cool down."

He started unbuttoning his polo. I took that as a Yes and started helping him. We took his pants off leaving him with his boxers.

"Ohh. Definitely hot." I told myself as I got to look at his whole body.

My mind started to think dirty with his hot body in front of me.
