A Burning Love

Lena POV

It's 10 am in the morning and Aira still asleep on her bed. I put a wet towel on her forehead hoping the fever will go down. Her hand on the other hand was cold.

Maybe I should get her some soup or porridge but... I'm suck at cooking. Guess I just order it online.

"Rina..." I hear her voice calling for someone. Isn't Rina her older sister? Come to think of it, I never ask her why she died or is it rude for me to ask about it later.

Watching her sleep with her mouth slightly open gasping for air made my heart beating like crazy. I need to go outside before I'm doing something stupid.

"I watch a movie in the living room while waiting for the food to be delivered. After a while, someone is knocking on the front door. A man with a red cap delivered my food.

I go to the kitchen and place it in a bowl. It smells nice... I hope she like it. I go back to the room while carrying the porridge. I can see her eyes awake and look at me.

"You awake... feeling any better?" I ask and put the bowl on her desk.

"Yeah... urmm... just feel a little hot..." She said.

"I'll get you a change of cloth... you sweating a lot..." I said and go grab some of my cloth. We both are the same size anyways.

"Here... I'll help you..."

"It's okay... you don't have to do that... cough!" She said. I saw her blush. I know she is shy about this whole situation.

"Okay..." I hand her the cloth.

"Actually... urmm... can you...help... wipe my back?" She said without looking at me straight in the eyes. My mind is blank right now but I really want to do that.

"Yeah... sure... let me grab some clean towel first..." Gosh! I'm so nervous.

********

"Is the water to cold?" I ask while wiping her back.

"No... it's nice..." I can see her ear turning red.

I lean my mouth toward her ear. "Do you want me to wipe the front?" I whisper.

"... No" I know she is blushing right now but it made me want to tease her more.

"You sure?..." I place my hand on her belly. I can hear a small moan she make. Her scent make me go crazy... I can't take this anymore.

"I'm sorry, Aira..." I hug her from behind and rest my head on her shoulder.

"I love you... It was a pain to keep this by myself and I want you to know it..." Silence.

"I'll head outside for a while... don't forget to eat the porridge." I said and get up from the bed. To my surprise, she grab my hand not wanting me to go. She didn't say anything and keep her head down.

I take a seat back on the bed and pat her head. "Don't worry, I'll be in the living room if you need me..." Her hand still gripping mine.

"Aira... I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." She suddenly lean forward and kiss my cheek. I froze.

She doesn't look at me straight in the eye and said "I'll think about it..." She's blushing. It was so cute I'm gonna die.

"I mean... I like you but I'm just confused... can you give me some time to think about it... maybe a week?" she ask.

"Yeah... sure... I'm so happy, Aira" I kiss both of her hand without thinking about it. Her face is burning red.

"Can I... flirt with you within this 7 days until you give your answer?" I ask.

"You... you don't have to ask my permission for that." She covered her face with her hand.

"Don't be shy, Aira... let me see your face..." I remove both of her hand and kiss her forehead.

"A payback for the kiss." I said teasingly.

"Dummy" She said.

We both laugh after that. Glad this awkward situation don't get any more longer.

********

My alarm from my phone ring. It shows 7 am in the morning. I don't feel like going to class today but I have to. Furthermore, I just take a leave yesterday without any notice.

I go to Aira's bed to see how's she doing. I touch her forehead and it wakes her up.

"How do you feel?" I ask.

"Much better... what time is it?" She want to get up but I don't let her.

"Just rest... the doctor's gave you two days off."

"I'm fine... I can't miss this classes..." She is so stubborn. She wake up and got on her feet. I pull her towards me before she end up taking any step further. The kind of shocking face she gave when she is sitting right on my lap is so adorable.

"Wh... what are you doing?" she ask.

"Taking your temperature..." I hug her entire body. "hurmm... your body's still hot... your face is red too..." I said teasingly.

"Lena... let go of me..." She push me away with his hand but I won't budge.

"Nope... promise me you'll take a rest and I will let go." I lean my face closer to her.

"Okay... okay... fine! I promise... just... let me go." Her cute reaction make me want to tease her more but I guess that's enough for today. I lay her down on the bed and give her a kiss on the cheek before going to bath. "what a lovely morning"

End Of POV

********

My fever is gone and my throat not hurting anymore. It's 11 am in the morning and I get bored. Guess I should take a bath first.

After calling Sarah and get a nagging for not calling her sooner, I decided to cook some lunch. But before that, I think I should text Lena first.

"Hey Lena... is your class finish early?"

-Aira-

I waited for 5 minutes until she texting me back.

"Yes... around 2 pm... why? miss me already??"

-Lena-

"Geez... don't tease me... I want to cook some lunch, if you get home early... we can eat together."

-Aira-

"Lunch? is your fever going down?"

-Lena-

"I'm fine... you worried too much"

-Aira-

"Of course I'm worried... it's you, not anyone else."

-Lena-

"Don't worry... see you later"

-Aira-

"Okay Aira... love you"

-Lena-

I was smiling throughout the conversation. It's make me happy and I can't wait to see her. What is wrong with me?.
