Thank you

Chapter 9. Thank you

Sofia insisted on giving Yana a ride home. And she was intensely furious inside after finding out that she lived with Luther in his condominium.

Yana went straight into the shower and took a bath.

It's kinda windy outside, looks like a typhoon is on its way.

She turned the faucet on that filled the tub with running water. She used Luther's shampoo and body bath, since his belongings were still in the bathroom. She went inside the tub and relaxation ran through her body. She had a scratch on her cheeks caused by the incident earlier.

Caused by exhaustion and pain she was feeling, she fell asleep even though it was noisy outside because of the music she was playing on full volume.

***

Luther badly wanted to call Yana, but the idea that Yana doesn't have a phone frustrates him. He can't even visit her in the condo 'cause his mother wouldn't let him go.

They were currently on a dinner date with the Lopezes, held at the Lopez residence.

Both of their families were talking about him and Sofia at the dinner table. That made the latter flattered, while Luther started to lost interest. "You two look good together, iho." commented Mr. Lopez.

"I know right, I am sure they would produce lovely offspring." Mrs. Lopez added.

Luther can't take what he was hearing anymore. So he excused himself.

Before Luther could walk out from the diner, Sofia grabbed his wrist. "Where are you going?"

Luther just gaped at her. "It's none of your business and don't act like you own me, it irritates me."

He then walked out, leaving Sofia in an embarrassment. 'You're my business, Luther, because you're mine. Mine alone!' Sofia grit her teeth.

She looked back at her family after the changed atmosphere and flashes a smile, to let them know she was okay.

It's already 10:45 P.M. when he's on his way to Yana's place. With the heavy rain, he is being stuck in the traffic.

He looked at his watch and it was almost 11. He got impatient; he looked for ways on how he could get out from his situation. After realizing that there was no way he could get out from the traffic 'cause he was in the middle of EDSA, he punched the wheel out of frustration and didn't have a choice but to wait.

It's been five hours since traffic finally went smoothly. He found out that the crash of a 10 wheeler truck and a white van caused the traffic.

He arrived at Yana's place at 4:30 A.M. His eyes instantly wandered around trying to find the woman. He searched every corner of the condominium. But Yana is nowhere to be found. He started to feel uneasy. There is only one place left that he didn't check, and that is his room that is currently in yana's possession.

Upon entering, loud bass of music greeted him. He turned it off and looked for Yana in the room.

'Shit. Where are you, my Yana?' Luther clenched his jaw in frustration.

He tried to open the bathroom door, but it seems like someone locked it. He sensed that the woman was inside, so he went to get the spare key from the cabinet.

Upon opening the door, a sleeping beauty inside the tub greeted him. He took a towel to cover the naked woman and carried her to bed. Yana is so cold, yet so hot. Literally. He put his hand on her forehead and found out she has a fever. And now he needs to get Yana dressed.

He blushed at the idea that there's no one to dress Yana but him since they are the only people in the room. He has no other choice, Yana will freeze to death, so he went to get a white shirt and boxer shorts of his. Those are the only clothes he could look for.

Before trying to dress Yanna, he shut his eyes really hard. He can't see anything but darkness. He took off the towel that covers Yana's nakedness. He was sweating when he accidentally touched Yana's chest. His ears are so red. He was blushing really hard.

It's like he went inside a needle's hole first before he finally made Yana wear the shirt.

Now his heart is beating so fast when it's time for the next cloth.

'Luther, control yourself.' said his subconscious.

He couldn't count how many curses he has stated in his mind doing this task. His body felt really hot, feeling Yana's skin.

'Damn it. I look like a pervert right now.'

He had almost lost it and almost opened his eyes when he heard Yana moan. He did his task faster, not minding accidentally touching her buttocks, covered her with sheets and rushed out of the room.

He had a deep exhale when he was finally out. He went to the kitchen to make soup for her. After a few minutes Yana hasn't woken up yet, so he decided to go for a quick shower.

***

Yana woke up feeling cold and tired. She tried to stand up and reach for the AC remote control. She felt dizzy. She tried to remember how she ended up on the bed, when the last thing she remembers was she was in the tub.

The bathroom door, which is only a few meters away from her, opened. A beautifully made lad came out from the door, a white towel covering his lower body, water dripping from his hair to his biceps and chest. Look at these abs.

In short, he has God's look and body.

It struck Yana from the sight. 'oh my innocent eyes.' And like a lighting she doesn't feel tired anymore, she felt like her fever went down and had gained a vast amount of energy which she did not know where it came from.

Yana was back to reality when the lad showed her a smirk. If it was the fever that caused her redness before, well, she's more red now.

"I'll just.." Yana pointed to the door and was on her way out. 'That was so embarrassing.' she groaned right after she had closed the door.

The door opened again, which made her fall on her knees, and Luther was just right in front of her. So she immediately stood up.

She felt uncomfortable when Luther stared at her from head to toe. "You look cuter and sexier with my shirt on." She realized what she was wearing, and questions flowed into her system. 'How did I wear this? I can't remember wearing this. Did he?.. '

Luther just walked past her laughing after seeing her facial expression and went straight to the kitchen to get food. Even when he came back, Yana was still in her position. She almost jumped in surprise when Luther scared her.

They went back inside the room. Luther asked Yana to sit on the bed, so that he can easily help her eat her soup.

"I can handle it. I can eat this on my own."

"shh." Luther shush Yana with his index finger on Yana's lips.

When Yana finished her soup, Luther made her drink medicine for fever. The lad noticed her scratch on her cheeks. He didn't see it sooner since Yana's hair covered it.

"How did you get that?" The lad touched her cheeks, checking if there are other scratches.

"Uh, I.. I stumbled yesterday." She stuttered. 'To all reasons out there, why did I choose that.' She regretted subconsciously.

The sun had set, but Luther was still in Yana's place. The typhoon isn't wearing off yet, so technically he spent his entire day with Yana. His mother called him, but he just assured her he's just in his condominium.

They were currently making a bed on the floor for Luther. "You can just go sleep on the couch." Said Yanna while arranging the sheets.

"No, I want to sleep with you." Yana immediately blushed from what she heard.

'Why are you being like that, Luther?' Then suddenly the atmosphere changed from every corner of the room.
