Chapter thirty one

Katherine's POV

**

It was already dusk by the time I pry my eyes open again after falling under the influence of that damn malaria drugs over and over again. The curtains were slightly pulled to the side; allowing a bit of fresh air to penetrate into the already stuffed room. I scanned the room with my eyes but saw no one before staring up at the ceiling trying to recall the little voices in my head reminding me that someone was here in my room earlier. The side of my bed was pushed in indicating that someone has sat closely beside me on the bed. I know aunt Nene was here checking up on me as she felt my temperature under the palm of her hands and asking me if I was feeling better or not but couldn't reply to any of her inquiries. I just couldn't get myself to speak even when I tried.

As fuzzy as i could be feeling at the moment, i can also remember someone squeezing at my hands gently before whispering into my ears after she left right out the door. It's as if the figure keep appearing after she leaves.

I would have swore it was Lavi that spoke to me earlier even though there is no trace of him now.

This drug is messing with my mind no doubt. And without thinking; I sat up straight on the bed and check the clock. It was 4:30pm on the dot.

Damn..I was out for that long?

Throwing off the sheet I was so nicely tucked into by God knows who before I woke up; I head for the bathroom to ease my bladder of the too familiar pressure threatening to explode yet again. My head no longer hurt at this point and my burning temperature was no where to be felt! Only this weird remembrance that I haven't had a shower since I woke up this morning was the only thing tugging at my mind cos I smell all sweaty and sticky even to my very own self.

Hell....

Pulling off my clothes with my hair in a bun on the middle of my head. I slipped into the shower,one foot at a time. The warm splash of water on my skin felt so damn relieving with each scrub and splash,I could feel my whole being returning to normal bit by bit again.

I was startled by a shattering sound coming from my room just when I was about to reach for my towel to dry my skin.

Maybe aunt Nene has come back to check up on me.

"I'm in here... Just a minute aunt" making sure not to slip on the tiles floor as I climbed out of the bath tub.

I hurried towards the door demarcating the bathroom from my room the moment I wrapped the towel around my body.

I honestly don't think she will mind seeing me like this. Its not like it's the first time around here. What's there to hide anyways.
