Chapter 23: Mr Jerkface.

❄️

She watched him intently, the pillows behind her back were helping her sit. Curtains to her window were opened letting sun rays enter the room and fill each corner with light. She could see outside the window that gave her full view of the vast garden, where of course patients, doctors, visitors and other hospital staff was wandering. The view was beautiful but she found the other view more amusing and of course handsomely attractive.

Her eyes freely wandered on him as he slept on the chair beside her bed, his left elbow was resting on one arm of the chair and his open palm was resting on his left cheek while his other hand was resting on his lap.

He looked disheveled in his wrinkly clothes and his messy hair. His thin pink lips were a bit parted, his cheeks were a little flushed. He looked so relaxed and calm but there was a little problem, he still slept with his eyebrows furrowed like what the fudging hell!

If her abdomen didn't hurt when she moved, she would've fixed that problem right away but she must say he looked so cute and his pinky, pinky lips looked so captivating that I want to... Want to...

Shut up! She cried out covering her red face with her hands.

After he helped you so much last night you come up having perverted thoughts about this angelic figure, go jump off this building, you fool!

She cursed herself in her heart and peeked at him through the space between her fingers, he was still sleeping soundly like a little baby boy with a permanent frown. But... But she couldn't help but think of those perverted thoughts.

My, my, he's making me feel like a teenager all over again. She thought with her hands still cupping her cheeks.

Why wouldn't she feel like a teenaged girl? He stayed with her the whole night, when he could just leave her and sleep in his comfortable bed. He even stayed awake and helped her when she was having trouble sleeping because of the bad dreams and her breathing problem. The way he whispered soothing words in her ears and stroked her hair till she fell asleep in a comfortable sleep.

It really warmed her heart to think that he really cared about her and hopefully also liked her that's why he asked Dr Hamada if he could assist in his surgery because that was the bet. If he starts to like her, he'll have to perform her surgery. And it was crystal clear that he liked her.

All of a sudden she felt her heart fluttering and doing summersaults. Is this how having butterflies in your stomach feel like?

No, probably a jungle. She once again thought to herself with a wide grin on her face.

I definitely feel like a teenaged girl who had just hit her puberty.

She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and snapped a picture. Flash!

Uh oh.

Don't tell me, I forgot to turn off the flash. Bummer!

Yes, you did.

He opened his eyes in alarm. His cyan blue eyes bloodshot and wide. His elbow slipped from the arm of the chair and he tumbled forward and almost fell down face flat, but he quickly grasped the edge of her bed to support his weight. His cyan blue eyes glared at her and the way he gritted his teeth, she could almost imagine her neck between those grinding teeth and she was crying for help because he was obviously biting her neck off.

She gulped and put her phone under her pillow first, that he might grab it and smack it on her face.

"Oops?" She mouthed with a sheepish smile. Maybe she thought that her little 'Oops' would solve everything.
