I woke up because of a loud thud. I turned my head to my right and spotted Alec outside the house. He dropped a small bucket. He came inside and stopped for a moment.

"Hey, hi, remember me? I'm son of your neighbour. We just got stuck here because of a storm" is he a lunatic?

"Alec, what happened? Why are you behaving this way?"

"Oh,umm... So you are alright? I mean you remember that we met yesterday --"

"Yeah you saved me from Bryan and everything. Why are we even discussing all this? What's wrong?"

"Nothing"  he said with a smile. I know I have  done something. Again.

"Alec tell me what happened? I can spot the sun set. Why did I slept for so long?" I looked at him with pleading eyes.

" Nothing happened. You need to rest" he lied again. "You just have a little fever" I noticed a cloth on my head soaked with cool water. I feel weak.

"Please?" I looked at him, pleading for the answer.

"Umm...you lost your mind or something. You ran into the woods and tried jumping in the river. You refused to recognise and listen to me. It seemed as if you lost all your memory from the night we started chasing you" he sat down.
What have I done! I lost my mind again! This isn't fair to any of us. I hid my face in my hands, I don't want to cry infront of Alec.

"Harm? You crying? Fuck! No, stop crying. You didn't do it purposely. Stop crying please. Are you okay?" He climbed on the bed and hugged me. I was in his arms. The moment my head touched his chest, I felt a relief. I felt calm and safe in his arms. I know I should tell him what's my problem but no, I can't worry him anymore. Not atleast after what I did today. He has done a lot for me in these two days.

"I know it's not the right moment to ask you what happened yesterday, but I just wanna know if there is any brief problem behind this..." He wanted to know about the thing which I would never tell him.

"Alec..sorry. I still, don't trust you for my personal details" I lied to him. I can't tell him. It's my problem. I'm nothing but a mess.

"That's ok. Now, just rest for a while" I can spot the annoyance in his voice. He made me lie on the bed and went out. He is one aggressive, but beautiful bastard. I just don't know what to do. If I tell him, I won't feel good and if I don't, he behaves like this.

I kept the cloth back on my head. Right now my body is like an induction stove. And also there is so much in my mind, sometimes I think I can't take it anymore.
"Alec.." I called him. Atleast I should apologize to him in a nice way. I think he is a little angry. I don't think he wants to talk right now.
Suddenly, he came inside with the small bucket with some water in it. God, why is he so nice? And how much ever I try, I always end up being rude.

"What?" He asked in a neutral tone.

"Thanks" I said with a smile and there came that alluring smile of his.
