Corporate Prince

Chapter 11 Porridge

       It was soooo hot. She just wanted to sleep, why did people keep interrupting her sleep? Whatever she was lying on was soft and fluffy. Fluffy... She felt like someone asked her how long she would sleep. Forever and ever and ever. Is that so? Yes, I'll hibernate, that would be for the best. Wake up, Sakurai-san. No! Leave me alone, I'm going to hibernate.

"Sakurai-san, wake up!" Seto's voice snapped her out of her sleep and she looked up at him. He was standing above her holding a tray and glaring down at her.

"What are you doing in my room?" She panicked and sat up.

Seto glared down at her. "Your room?"

Ana flinched and looked around her. She was in Seto's apartment, on his bed, wrapped up in his sheets. She let out a very unbecoming choking noise.

"W-w-why? Why am I here?" Ana's fuzzy brain stopped working as she looked around and wondered if someone would jump out and shout April fools.

Seto rolled his eyes and plopped the tray down on her lap. "You collapsed on the sidewalk."

"S-so instead of taking me to the hospital you brought me to your room and put me in your bed?" Ana pulled the covers up to make sure she still had her clothes on. She did, minus her shoes.

"Don't flatter yourself, you're not my type. I didn't call an ambulance because I don't need that kind of publicity right now and my place was closest." Seto put his hands on his hips and growled at her through clenched teeth. "Now eat that, take the medicine and get out of my apartment."

Seto turned and stormed over to the kitchen. He looked like he was preparing his dinner. Ana looked at the tray and found a bowl of rice porridge and some cold medicine. If he wasn't such an ass, she would have almost found it sweet that he'd made it for her. Picking up the spoon, she took a bite of the porridge. It was light on the stomach, but she didn't feel very hungry. Not wanting to take medicine on an empty stomach, she forced most of it down, then popped open the pill box. After she finished, Seto came over and swiped the tray from her.

"Now get out." He glared at her.

Ana however fell back into the bed and put a hand on her forehead which was throbbing.

"Don't lay back down!" Seto snapped.

She closed her eyes and sighed. "Amin-chan, please stop shouting and for once let me see that ten percent where you're not an ass."

To her surprise, there was silence instead of more shouting. She opened one eye to see what was up. He was still glaring down at her his eye twitching. She would have laughed if it wasn't for her pounding head.

"You have fifteen minutes to get out of my bed and leave before I chuck you out myself." He didn't shout when he ordered her this time.

"That's about two percent, but I'll take it." She shut her eyes again and tried to calm her breathing. It was hard, she was burning up pretty badly. Her training with grandpa had gotten worse, and it was taking all she could to keep up with schoolwork. Now that she had to help Seto too, there wasn't much time to sleep or rest. Grandpa had yelled at her that morning for acting sluggish and told her when she got home, she would have to do extra training. Feeling her eyes beginning to sting, she slid her arm over them, refusing to cry. There was no way she would cry over a little something like a cold.

Beep. She peaked out wondering what the beeping was about and found Seto standing over her with a contactless thermometer. He was giving it an annoyed look.
