Lucas POV
After a few minutes Doctor James arrived and attended Amelia. He told me that she might probably be exhausted and that her temperature got so high. She needs to rest.
This is all my fault. I got really mad the other day that led me in making this kind of decisions.
I carried her to tuck her in bed. She looks so pale and tired. I realized that she's soaking in sweat. "sh*t there's no one who can do it for her" I muttered.
I got her pyjamas. Okay, I can do this. Just don't look at her that much. I pulled her shirt up slowly not to wake her. It's so hard not to look, I'll admit it. She's really attractive with a curvaceous body. 'bloody hell, why am I even thinking that'. I pulled down her shorts and get the blanket right away to cover her up, of course after looking at her for a second.
This is not easy. I probably need a cold shower after this. I changed her clothes and checked on her temperature. Good thing it went down a bit.
I decided to take a shower in her bathroom, this will really help. I felt my nerves calm down as the cold water run down my body. I changed in my boxers and plain white shirt.
As I got out of the bathroom I saw Amelia's sleeping form. She looks so calm and delicate. She's so fragile that I'm afraid to touch her. I decided to stay with her tonight since no one will take care of her. I sat on the other side of the bed. How am I going to sleep tonight with her by my side? It will probably be a long night for me.
As my back touch the bed I felt her moved and I froze when I felt her arms encircle around me. She snuggled as if I'm her pillow.
Why am I so affected? This is normal for me. I always sleep with different girls but why do I feel like she's different? I tucked her hair behind her ears to have a better view of her face. "I'm sorry my angel, good night" I whisper before kissing her forehead.
I set all my thoughts aside and scoop her closer to me. I didn't know how I slept but it feels so good having her beside me.
Amelia's POV
I woke up feeling a little better. My headache is not that bad like yesterday, thank goodness I still need to finish cleaning. But how I ended up in my bed? And what is this heavy thing encircling my body?
I froze as realization hit me. I look at my side and saw Lucas sleeping peacefully. He's so handsome, heyy what am I thinking?
What is he doing in here? In my room, in my bed? I tried to escape but he's just so heavy. I can't even move.
"stay still Amelia" he said with his eyes still closed. "What are you doing in my room? " I said pushing him a bit
"Can you just stop, I'm sleeping" he replied a little irritated."then go to your room!" I shouted
"I assume you feel a lot better cause you have all the energy yelling at me very early in the morning" he said
"Lucas will you please go to your room? I need to cook and continue cleaning downstairs" with that he opened his eyes. His stormy eyes looked at me dangerously. "You are not doing anything. Are you insane?"
"look whose talking" I replied
"don't give me that attitude" he said as he got up. I was shocked when I saw him wearing only his boxers.
"You pig! How can you sleep beside me wearing only those boxers? " and just then I realized I was not wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday. He might got what I was thinking and he just smirked at me before retreating.
Just before he go out "You look sexy in those underwear" he said with a wink
"you pervert" I shouted as I throw my pillow at him
I took a shower and head down just to find Lucas in the kitchen. "what are you doing? " I asked
"Ever heard of the word COOKING? " he asked sarcastically
"So we're being funny now? " I shot back
"can you just sit there and wait for breakfast without arguing with me?"
"Fine" I watch as he move expertly in the kitchen. "By the way I want to thank you for last night" I said shyly
"No worries honey, I enjoyed it as well" he replied with a smirk. What's up with him today? I ignored what he just said and change our topic "I didn't know you know how to cook" I said making a conversation.
He put the plate in front of me as he whispered making my body shiver "I excel in everything honey, EVERYTHING" he said seductively.
"eat your breakfast and drink this" he said putting my meds in the table. We just ate in silence but I can feel him staring at me.
"stop it Lucas" I muttered without looking at him
"what now? I'm not even doing anything" he replied playfully. I met his gaze and it feels like my world just stop. Those dangerous eyes staring at me as if wants to tell me something. Why do I find him handsome? Those chiseled jaw, pointed nose, devilish smile and perfect body is just too much. How can someone be so perfect?
"Done checking me out honey? " I was brought back to reality as I heard him say that. I felt my face heat up, he just caught me checking him out. What is happening to me? I didn't mind him and just continue eating my breakfast.
After our breakfast I volunteer to was the dishes. "I'll take care of this" I muttered. "Just rest in your room, I can manage" he answered as he put the dishes in the sink. "You prepared breakfast, its my turn" I replied stubbornly. "Can you listen to me just for once? You keep on arguing with me. Did you forget what happened last night? The doctor said you need to rest"
"But ---" I was cut off "Just go to your room or I'll carry you" he said standing in front of me. I decided to keep our distance and muttered "okay"
Just like what he said I slept for the whole day. It was 5 in the afternoon when I decided to go down. The kitchen is empty as well as the receiving room. Did Lucas left while I was asleep?
I decided to grab something to drink and sit in the balcony beside the pool. The weather is gloomy which is so good with coffee.
I sat on the chair facing the pool and just when I was about to drink my coffee, Lucas suddenly came out of the pool. He swept his wet hair back like he was posing for a magazine. It felt like the world stop as I saw those perfect abs.
Someday this man will be the cause of my death. It felt like I had a mini heart attack.
I was brought back to reality when I heard someone calling out my name. "....amelia, amelia? Are you alright?" he asked, Oh this devil. "yy.. Yes" I answered shattering.
"uhmmm, what do you want for dinner? " I asked him
"don't bother, I'll eat out with a friend. It seems like you're fine now" he replied
"oh okay" I replied to his retreating back but I'm not really sure if he heard it.
