PEARL's P. O. V

Suddenly I felt elephants jumping in my stomach. Okay Jeez!! I mean rats! I'm hungry. But the question is again?Jesus!!

I love sleeping but these elephants... Oops! I mean rats won't let me sleep. All this while me being lazy, my eyes were closed. But they snapped open when I sensed something traveling up my legs to my knees. I was terrified but soon calmed down as it was 'him'. Damn this time I'd ask his name for sure.

Hey, wait! What on earth is he doing with my legs?I slowly shifted my gaze.
Oh no!! What!? Is he for real?
He is still massaging my legs!!! And that too with a smile!!!!

Christ, I may not be a burden but I sure feel like that now. I quickly moved my gaze towards the window. It's still dark. What time is it?
Then I saw a clock hung over the wall... It was looking magn-
Forget it!! My eyes widened. It showed three past in the morning. This means he massaged the whole damn night! Nearly 6 hours!!
He is making me feel guilty now. I quickly pushed off my feet from his lap. He was startled. No that's an understatement!

"Why on earth are you up till now?" I asked him. God!! He had been doing that since hours without any sleep. I'm really an idiot. No more than an idiot. I shouldn't have let him. My fault!!
'No it's not' my innervoice had to cut into! I rolled my eyes mentally.
Weird? Uh - I just did it!!

I tried to get up in order to sit and he was quick to come beside me and helping me but I was beyond furious so I slapped his hand away. How dare he!!?
I'm feeling giddy in my heart for his care but I can't help my anger too. He literally ignored his health for me! Now that's not acceptable to me!

"Don't you dare!" I warned him.

"Angel are you -"he started but I was pissed.

"Answer me! " I demanded.

"You were sick so... "he started again and I stopped him mid sentence again.

"So..? You would do such things?" I asked.

"No angel it's not that. It's just like.." he trailed off.

"Even if I was sick, who gave you the permission to ignore your health? 6hours huh? Now this time you would catch a fever!" I shouted. And why wouldn't I? He is going to make himself sick. That too because of me?
I won't let that happen.

"Angel, I'm fine."he tries to reason. Why is he so good? He is stretching himself... No!! He shouldn't. This brought tears to my eyes. His eyes widened.

"Angel.. angel?? You are crying! I made you cry! I.. I... What's wrong angel?"he asked me while panicking. He cupped my cheeks and slowly wiped my tears by his thumb which were soon replaced by more.

He is so damn caring!!

"Angel are you hurt? Does your legs hurt? Are you feeling pain?"he asked breathlessly. But I couldn't respond. These loving gestures does nothing but overwhelms me. When I don't answer, he appears to be more panicked.

"You're scaring me angel! Please tell me!" he pleaded. Now I've to say something. My silence is doing nothing but worrying him.

"Why didn't you sleep?" I asked. My voice came out very soft as if I'll cry all over again.
