Friends to Lovers

Chapter 7

Mila stayed the night at my apartment. She took care of me, and eventually, we went back to normal. We watched some movies, and in the middle of the c****x, she fell asleep on my shoulder.

I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful face. I felt my lips formed into a smile. How can she be so pretty while sleeping? Or is it just I'm too in love with her?

I slowly moved closer to her so I could see her face more. She's looking good as always. I looked intently at Mila's face as if I was memorizing every single detail of her face, and I slowly put my hand on her red cheeks as I gently caressed her face.

"I love you, Camila... I really do," I whispered while putting my head against her forehead as I kissed it. "I love you more than I could ever love you," I added as I smiled, but it was a sad one, "But I can't tell you because I would lose you if I will."

I chuckled, "How can you be so near yet far? I can't even reach you. Maybe things change for a reason, and maybe we're not just meant to be."

I don't know what came in me when I suddenly kissed her lips as I closed my eyes. I felt her soft kiss that I wanted to kiss for a lifetime.

I immediately moved away as I shook my head for what I just did. It's not right! She already has a man, and I took advantage of her. It is so wrong of me. Damn it!

I sighed as I looked at her sleeping face. She doesn't even flinch, and that makes me thankful because she might end our friendship right now for what I did to her.

Even if I feel weak, I still manage to lift her in a bridal way as I put her on my bed so she can rest comfortably. I didn't lay down beside her. Instead, I slept on the couch because I don't want to disrespect her more.

I didn't expect that night would be long before I can finally sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about what I did. I f*****g kissed her! I f*****g did! It's a thing that I would never do to her without permission. I am too better than that.

The next day, I woke up hearing Camila randomly singing while she cooks for breakfast. My forehead creased in so much confusion. Does it look like she's in a good mood today?

"Hey, good morning, sunshine," Mila chuckled as she continued cooking something.

"What are you cooking?" I asked, avoiding her gaze because I still remember what I did to her, and I don't if I could still face her after everything happened last night.

It's too clear in my mind, and I think I won't forget that for the rest of my life.

"A bacon and eggs?" My forehead creased even more in confusion when I heard her answer.

"Why are you not sure?" I finally looked at her, and she was looking at me too, which makes me almost jump in shock.

"I got you! I make it more unsure for you to look at me," She shrugged her shoulder as she rolled her eyes at me, "It's a loss for you not to look at my beauty in the morning, Lau," I shook her head as if she was pitying me.

"The f**k are you saying, Mila?" I replied, annoyed because of what she said, but I couldn't deny that she's more beautiful in the mornings, and it completes my day if I had a chance to see her.

She chuckled, "Whatever, Laure, go prepare the plates now. We'll eat breakfast in a minute," She winked at me, and I acted like I was disgusted by it.

"Yeah, yeah, just make sure that it has no poison on it," I shouted back when I leave the kitchen area. I heard Mila laughed as she hissed some cursing words to me.

I didn't realize that I was already smiling when preparing some plates at the dining table. That girl makes my everyday crazy like how she is.

I hate how she can easily make me fall for her over and over again. I know that it was only the simple things, but for me, when it comes to Camila, everything she does makes me want to fall for her, and that's her impact on me.

We ate breakfast together, and she made sure that I drank all my meds before she leaves because she has a duty at the warehouse today while I was on vacation leave.

"Don't forget to eat lunch at exact noon, okay? It's on the fridge. Just reheat it on the microwave, and your meds locate at the top of your bedside table. Are we clear?" She reminded me before she could even go out of my apartment. I just nodded my head as I pushed her away because she'll be late in an hour.

I stayed in bed all day as I followed her instructions. As time goes by, I feel so hot than yesterday. I feel weaker, and I'm having a hard time walking around.

In one snap, I felt someone caressing my cheeks, and it made my eyes opened to see Camila. She's staring at me while wearing her sweet smile.

"Hey, you don't feel good, aren't you?" I shook my head as an answer, I keep moaning in pain, and I couldn't stop myself from wishing it to be gone.

"Stay here, I'll get you something," She said as she ran away from my bed.

A moment later, I saw Mila again with a bowl in her hand and a glass of water in her other hand. I felt more guilty when she does something for me after what I did to her last night.

"Eat up, you need strength," She demanded, and all I could do is stare at her as I found myself crying in front of her.
