Adrian wasn't lying when he said he'll bring all the medical team, security team and even his personal chef to my apartment. Now my apartment was filled with 15 people trying to help me. I was so overwhelmed.
They're all really nice and happened to know everything about ILLICIT. A lot of them have been working with ILLICIT for a really long time. They're really adore Adrian and kept telling me that Adrian is a really good man.
He is a good man, he is indeed.
After his sudden confession, I can't stop thinking about him. It felt like he was messing with my head. I can't even sleep even though one of my medicine was a sleeping pill.
I looked outside the window blankly completely sleepy but everytime I closed my eyes, Adrian will appear. I think all the medicine that I took was starting to mess with my head.
"Leah." I jumped when I heard Adrian's voice. Am I hearing things too now? What the fuck?!
"Leah." I screamed for a second and when I felt someone touched my arm, I screamed again. I turned around to see Adrian looking at me confused.
"What? What happened?" He asked while holding two paper bags in his hands.
"Sorry." I said and I walked towards the sofa. I sighed as I sat down. Adrian sat beside me and he took out all the things inside the two paper bags.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as he turned to me. I coughed nervously and didn't even dare to look at him.
"I think I'm good." I said and he chuckled.
"The nurse told me that you can't sleep last night." I turned to Adrian and looked at him disbelief.
"You asked her?"
"Of course, I want to know your condition." He said and I nodded. He gave me a piece of cookie and I took a bite of it right away because I was nervous as hell.
"I couldn't sleep either, usually when you can't sleep at night.. someone is thinking of you." I almost choked on my cookie and my rib was hurting from the shock.
"Shit! Sorry.." Adrian apologized when he noticed that I was.. in pain from his words.
"I guess I was right, you're thinking of me last night huh?" I turned to him and shook my head slowly. He chuckled and leaned back to the sofa.
"Thankyou.. for the cookie." I said and then I turned my attention to the table in front of us. My eyes widen when he filled the whole table with cakes, cookies and pies.
"Adrian, why are you buying all of these?"
"What?" He asked.
"Why are you buying all of these?" I asked again.
"What?" I turned to him and I know that he heard me clearly. He was sitting beside me and he smirked.
"Why are you.. buyingggggg all of these?" I asked gesturing all the cakes, pies and cookies.
"What?" I was about to hit him then I remembered that he's my boss. He chuckled and he grabbed my hand slapping himself with my hand.
"You can hit me, it won't hurt unless you can punch like Dean." He joked and I shook my head.
"I just like when you call me by my first name, it felt weird but.. in a good way." He said and I immediately turned away. My face was slowly heating up and I can't believe this man.
I put the cookie on the table and turned to Adrian. He closed his eyes and he must be tired. Yesterday was a rough day and he got punched by Dean once. His cheek got a big bruise and it made me feel bad. He was defending me.
I leaned back to the sofa and closed my eyes as well. It made me sleepy and I yawned a couple of times. I opened my eyes to stay awake but I was tired.
"Sleep." I heard Adrian said and I closed my eyes. He suddenly wrapped his arm around my body pulling me to his arms. He leaned my head to his chest and I could hear his heart beating. I could feel his warmth and I slowly fell asleep.

When I was sure that she fell asleep, I carried her to her room. I laid her on the bed and wrapped her with her blanket. I sat on the side of the bed looking at her sighing.
"What have you done to me?" I whispered.
I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand gently and got up from her bed. I walked out from her room and closed the door slowly. I laid on the sofa and stared at the ceiling.
I slowly fell asleep too.

I opened my eyes slowly and it was already dark outside. I got up from my bed and walked out from my room. Adrian was nowhere to be found and I think he already left.
As I was walking to the kitchen, I jumped when I saw Adrian laying on the sofa. He was sleeping soundly. I quickly ran back to my room grabbing a blanket and put it on him.
I grabbed a glass of water and I laid my eyes on him. My heart slowly beating faster, my face started to heat up and I was slowly not functioning. I walked closer to him and sat on the floor looking at him closely. I don't even know why am I doing this, I was not in control.
My hand was slowly going towards his face wanting to caress it so badly. When I was about to touch his cheek, he opened his eyes and my eyes widened. I was caught in the act and when I was about to get up, he grabbed my wrist.
He pulled me into the blanket and wrapped his arms around my body. He closed his eyes again and I was speechless. My lips went numb, I couldn't say a word.
"Sleep again, Leah. You're still tired."
"I slept for hours already." I answered it in a small voice.
"Close your eyes.. and sleep again."
