Love with a twist

Cold

Rex was already asleep at the moment but later woke up due to the noise.

He frowned looking at her then sigh in exhaustion “Amanda”

She didn’t reply, however, she stayed still for a short period then kept rolling again.

“Amanda…what’s wrong?” he questioned touching her and his eyes almost bulge out at her temperature. He quickly discarded the blanket from her but she held it tight pulling it back to her chest.

“Let go you’re heating up” he ordered still she kept her hands tighter.

“If you don’t let go I’m going to take off your clothes” he warned

She slightly opened her eyes and responded, “I’m cold…”

“How is that even possible. I’m certain your 48 degrees. Do you want me to turn on the AC?”

“No…don't turn it on. I’m feverish,” she replied

Without giving her a warning, he tugged her into his arms.

“W-what-”

“Shh” he stopped her

Just his embrace was enough to calm her pains and bring her temperature to normal. His embrace was so comforting and peaceful, that she fell asleep so fast.

The night was indeed long for both of them.

...

The day is dawn, and the city was busy but Amanda and Rex were still in bed.

When he woke up due to the reflection of the sun on his face, his first sight was a cute lady wearing his sweater and holding him like her comfy.

She looked so innocent in her sleep. Like a cloth without blemish. Who knows…maybe his thoughts of her were exactly what it is.

Thinking of last night and everything they went through he smiled and gently robed his hand in her hair. She hummed in her sleep grinning sweetly then repositioned her face to its normal state just like a newborn.

That made his smile widen, his eyes not leaving hers not even for a second. Shortly after when he was still staring, she opened her eyes gently then fully like a round bulb gazing at the morning sun.

She didn’t realize Rex was awake and staring at her. When she lifted her eyes unconsciously at him and he smirked silently.

Then her brain downloaded her position and how tight she was holding him. She blinked her eyes several times before looking at the position of her hand against his torso and how their legs wrapped one another.

“Good morning cutie”

She looked at him again then removed her hand from his chest, feeling embarrassed. She turned around and faced the other side. Unfortunately, the worse happened. Rex saw stains of blood on his bed sheath and sweater.

He looked at the back of her “You’re bleeding”

She froze in her spot. Her breath and heartbeat stopped. She gently turned around and looked at the sheath.

Damn it!! God, why? Why here? s**t!! she cursed herself severally then closed her eyes and took a steady breath.

Why didn’t it come to my understanding that this was the reason I was so heated up last night? And now I got myself more embarrassed.

“Just lay down. I’ll get you a sanitary path and some clothes at the supermarket” he said rising from bed.

She didn’t want to look at him but he made her do “I don’t know for how long your eyes are going to be closed but I suggest you keep them open because our nanny will soon be here”

And she opened her eyes instantly. He smirked putting on a jacket then headed out. She didn’t dare to close her eyes after what he said because she didn’t want his nanny seeing her like this.

...

15minutes later, he came and handed the things to her.

"Thanks" She sauntered to the bathroom trying not to make eye contact with him.

Rex just stood at his bed and analyzed the stain before turning towards his closet and bringing out a new bed sheath.

Suddenly a woman in her 50’s knocked then walked in holding a basket.

“Good morning Son”

Rex turned around with the bed the sheath on his hand and a wide grin plastered on his face “Good morning my Love”

She laughed responding “Your love? Your mom and dad asked of you and I covered up for you. You have no idea how worried I was. However, you arrived without informing me. And now you call me your love. Pff”

“I’m sorry” he apologized

She gave him a knowing look “No, seriously I am. And I owe you a lot for covering for me” Rex continued

Her eyes fell on the bed sheath he was holding “Were you planning on dressing your bed? Because I’ll be honored seeing you doing that”
