"Ellaine you have a visitor here! Wake up now". Mom shouted.

I just ignored her then went back sleeping. It's saturday for pete's sake.

"Nathan's waiting,so you better wake up now Ellaine". My mom shouted again.

I hurriedly get out from my bed when I heard Nathan's name.I fixed myself then went downstairs.

"I thought you were just joking yesterday. You really came huh".

I gave my address to him yesterday and to my surprise he was living next-door. We're neighbors.

"Mom told me to bring this cookies to our neighborhood. Since we were neighbors  I used it as an excuse to come here". Nathan explained.

He winked at me and gave me a sly smile. My heart exploded again.

"You're blushing". He teased me.

I grabbed the throw pillow beside me then starts hitting him. Nathan grabbed throw pillows too to hit me. We end up having a pillow fight. It was a childish gesture that made us laugh at each other.

I stopped as I caught myself laughing. I placed my hand on my chest. I can feel the  beating of my heart.

Nathan was smiling as he slowly walked, he then stopped in front of me. He leaned closer to me. I can feel the tingling sensation of his warm breath.

"What does your heart says? Does it scream my name? Nate? Nate? Nate? "

Nathan whispered through my vertebrate organ of hearing. My heart beats so fast. I can't take it anymore so I pushed him. He was about to fall when he authomatically tugged my hand. We both landed on the marbled floor. We were so close that I am only an inch away from his face. I was lost again. Lost in the moment that only Nathan can do. There was something in him that awakens my sleeping desire.

"You're so heavy Ellaine". Nathan complained.

I immediately stood up.

"I am not heavy. In fact I'm sexy".

I countered as a matter of fact. How dare him say that I'm heavy.

"Really? Our little Ellaine is sexy?". Nathan teased me.

For the second time how dare him doubt that I'm sexy; he even called me little Ellaine.

"Tssk". I uttered in annoyance.

At exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Nathan came back. I agreed to tutore him the lessons he haven't took.
A pile of lesson notes and books were placed in my study table. He sat beside me. I started teaching him but instead of listening, he adhesively stared at me.

"Are you trying to seduce me?".

I asked in my most authorative voice but deep inside I am melting.

"No I'm not. I'm just staring at you but if you are already seduced then-".

He moved closer then whispered.

" Let me do it my way ".

Nathan stated in sexiest way. I pushed him, hard enough to make him lay on the floor. Nathan was not moving. I waited for a minute but he was still motionless. Slowly, I moved towards him.

"What should I do? Should I call mom?".

I calm myself so I can think clearly. Then randomly, it came into my mind to do the CPR, just like what I've watched on dramas.

I leaned down into his face. I was about to do the CPR when his eyes opened.

"Got ya".

He hugged me.

"Let me go".

I already used all my strenght to discharge myself from being imprisoned on his arms but it's no use. His strong enough to hold me. So instead of losing all my energy trying to escape, I just let myself drown in the moment.

"Your temperature was so high Nate".

"I'm fine Ella". Nathan uttered.

"No, you're not. Wait here, I will asked some help".

He loosen his tight embrace on me. I ran as fast as I could but I can't find mom.

"Mom! Where are you?".

Mom is not around so I went on our neighborhod to ask some help. Everyone was gone. I then remembered that they have gone on a party. They celebrated the 50th anniversary of our subdivision.
I helplessly went back in my room. Nathan was trying to stand up but he fell. He passed out. His
temperature was very high. With all my might I lifted him up to my bed.

"Please don't leave us dad". Nathan unconsciously said.

A drop of tear spilled out from his eyes.

"I won't leave you Nate".

I know he wouldn't hear it but there is something that pushed me to utter those words. I said it not only to lessen the pain he felt but also because I care for him. How I wished he heared it.

"Dad it's so cold".
Nathan uttered again.

He maybe missed his dad so much. I covered his body with a thick blanket.

"Everythings gonna be alright Nate".

I went downstairs to cook a soup for him.

After 5 minutes of waiting I went back to my room with a bowl of soup, a glass of water and a medicine on the tray I was holding. Nathan was still unconcious.

"Nathan wake up. You need to eat this so you can have your medicine".

Nathan woke up. I helped him sat properly.

"Can you please feed me Ella?". He asked in his sick voice.

The soup was hot, so I blew it first before feeding it to him.

"I'm already full".

I gave him a medicine and a glass of water.

"Thanks Ella".

"Your always welcome Nate. Just let me know if you need anything else".

"I just need to take some rest".

I let him sleep.

"Dad, please don't leave us. Dad please".

I was observing him for almost an hour. He kept calling his father. I caresses his forehead. His temperature was fine now.

"Don't worry Nate, your dad will come back".

It was already 11:23 pm. I'm so sleepy and I can't control it anymore. My eyes started to closed slowly.
