Chapter: Feverish

"Good morning sunshine" Daniel greeted her when she opened her eyes, Daniel bent his knee while his arms rested on the bed " It's already 10 in the morning!"

Anna suddenly took the blanket and covered her mouth "Good morning!... what are you doing in here ?"

"I called Him, and he told me that you were here.... so I rushed coming in here just to see you "

Anna chuckled "Where is he? "she whispered

"right here" Tom answered her while standing at the door, both hands stuck on each side of his pockets

the two of them looked at him

" I already informed the HR department that you can't come today " he continued

Anna sighed

"What is wrong? "Daniel questioned her

"Nothing..." she replied, " I think he is mad at me," she said

"no...he is always like that?" Daniel whispered and he winked at her

Anna grinned got up from bed and sat

"come on... let's have breakfast " Tom invited them and he walked away

"How was your feeling ?" Daniel asked

"Good" she replied "Achoo!" she sneezed while covering her mouth and nose

"you sick? "Daniel asked her, he suddenly put the back of his palm and checked her is she was feeling hot or not "Hmmm a little bit but I think you're okay..."

"achoo!" Anna sneezed again

"Come... let's go, we need to eat... Tom loves to cook so we need to taste it before it gets cold." Daniel explained

they both sat down at the table and eat

"Hey, don't forget to wash my clothes," he told to Anna

Anna frowned "I'm sick right," she told to Daniel while her big brown eyes widened and her thin eyebrows raised just enough to convince him

"Ah...." he looked to Tom and looked again to Anna " Yes... " he told him "she's sick cous "

"Achoo!" She's pretending to be sick

Tom raised his eyebrows and he looks at her suspiciously

"Achoo!" She sneezes again

"see. Yes...it's true she's feeling not right today...maybe it's the hangover " he told him "After this, you can take an antipyretic medicine if you're not feeling well" he said

Anna nodded and her curve lips became straightened and she smiled "Aw! You were so sweet " she replied

Daniel put a checkmark under his chin and gave her a big smile "Of course," and he pinched her both faces "Let's dig in " he told Anna, " you're soo cute" he added

Anna nodded and smiled " Thank you Lord!" she said

"What time will you go home? " Daniel questioned her

"After this, "

"You're not going to stay for a bit.?"

"No!" she replied "Or else I am going to wash his clothes" she whispered and drank her hot chocolate

"Ahhhh" Daniel laughed "Don't worry we can go out if you want to" he whispered to her

Anna shook her head "My father will beat me to death if I do not going home right now" she said and ate her scrambled egg

"Really? will he do that?" he was surprised

"Of course not, I'm just kidding !" she commented and she chuckled

"Oh, I thought" he sighed, he put some butter and honey on his pancake

" But I'm sure he will be like... either the two... a pastor or a father, who preached all the time, so I need to prepare my ear..." she smiled

"he always like that," he asked

"sort of..." she said " I broke the rules... so it's my fault and no one to blame" she added

"whoah! he must be scary..." Daniel gave a piece of pancake to her

"No...he isn't, he is very strict " Anna described him " And I don't eat pancakes," she said to Daniel

"Yes... she didn't," Tom said

he looked at him "Wow...You knew a lot of things about her " he said"Her crush, her food that doesn't like"

"no, few...not a lot Dan !" Anna interrupted him and winked at him

"You two seem are...Something happened?"

"nothing" they chorus

"Mm," Daniel says still studying them "there is something,.. I could see that"

Tom was busy finishing his pancake while Anna, didn't say anything,

Daniel laughed

"What?" they both asked him and they were both confused

"maybe something going on...I know you Tom..." he says " Tell me...you accidentally kissed "

"No!" they both answered

"What are you talking about?" Anna says "You thinking too much..." and she laughed

Daniel looked at them, " seriously?...you both," he said with pointing to them " really ? Nothing happened?" he said "because I could feel though"

"I am 100 percent sure.. That's not what happened..." Anna says

"Tell me... what happened last night?" Daniel insists they to tell the truth

"Hey... nothing happened!" Tom interrupted him "finished your food"

"Anna, please...tell me what is going on?" he grabbed Anna's arm and he tried to swing it " please tell me" he insists

Anna looked at him and she put her index finger on Daniel's forehead and pushed him " Nothing happened.. in fact, I don't know what happened last night,... I don't remember...except that I saw him naked " she says without pausing

Daniel laughed out loud

"Oppss!" Anna gulped and slowly looked at Tom, she suddenly put her hands on her lips " I didn't mean to" she added

Tom shook his head while looking at her, he bit his lower lip and gave her a murderous look

Anna frowned and agitated

Daniel chuckled when he saw their reaction " You know what, There are only two ladies who saw him naked...only You and Mildred"

"It's your fault" Anna whispered to Daniel,

"What?, hahaha, Tell me how... Anna"

"Shut up !" Tom says to Daniel " She's drunk maybe she's imagining too much about it" Tom stood up and went in front of the basin

"Hey!, I am not, I saw it " Anna interrupted "Duh!, Imagining about you...Huh! Shame on you " she irritated

"What?" Tom turned around " shame on me? You were drunk last night, you know that... for God's sake! Anna, Because of Kevin you will act like that...you moron"

"Hey!... Hey!... that's enough, That harsh dude " Daniel Interrupted him and gave him a look to stop "Both of you please " he says "calm down"

Anna sighed and stood up, "I need to go," she said and went to the couch

"Anna !, please finish your food before you go," Daniel said

"I lost my appetite, " she answered him and packed her things " Thank you, Daniel," she said

"Anna, please" Daniel stood up in front of the door and tried to stop her "I will drive you home after you finished the food"

"no need, I am fine...please I have to go," she says

Daniel opened the door " Alright, Just let me know if you got home, okay"

Anna nodded and left,

Daniel closed the door "what is wrong with you ? she likes Kevin" he says and took his car keys from

the table " Don't worry I will drive her home" he says and left

"I am sorry, There's a lot of things running on my mind" he excused

Tom sighed and drank the water. He was ashamed that is why he acted like that. He cleaned the table and wash the dishes.

"You love it?" He asked

" Yes..." she was excited

"I heard Lolo gave you a ride to his luxury car, "he says

"Does he tell you that ?"Anna asked

" You know what, that is not a good sign, you always sneezed since this morning!" he noticed

"I am fine!" she says, she sniffed and wiped her nose with a tissue

"Don't forget to take meds, alright?" he reminded her

"mm" she replied

Daniel Drove off to her Home, It's not traffic that time, thus they arrive in the subdivision for 15 minutes only, Anna got out of the car and waved to him

"Bye, Thank you !" she says

" Go on! take care of yourself," he says and drove off

Anna went inside of the subdivision and walked straight to her home, she slowly opened their main door, no one was inside, Her parents are not in the living room, she went to the kitchen and looked for the antipyretic in their medication canister. She intakes one tablet with water and hastily coming upstairs going to her room.

Anna was feeling not well, she lay down on her bed and rest, a few moments she didn't realize she fell asleep.

She woke up in the afternoon when she felt that someone was in her room, Her mother sat on her side and checked if she's feeling alright.

"Are you okay ?" she asked, her mother is mid 40's of age, her hair started to be grey, fair complexion, and has a chinky eyes, a pointed nose, and thin kissable lips, and a slender body.

Anna nodded and doesn't want her mother to be worried

"look at you, you broke the house rules, and yet you hide in here," she says

"I am sorry Ma, I will not do it again" she sat on the bed

" Your Papa, worried about you last night, what happened?" she gave her a glass of water and a tablet of med for antipyretic " Here, take it"

"I already took before I fell asleep," she told her

" Alright, after six hours you need to take another one, your feverish" she reminded her

"Thanks, ma"

"Are you hungry, I will ask your father to cook noodles for you " she was worried

" no I am not, I ate before I came home"

"Okay, take a rest, I will wake you up, later for your meds" her mother stood up

" Hm, I love you ma!" she says and smiled at her

Her mother hissed and turned back for her " tsk! you are clingy right now because you did something wrong !" her mother said

they both laughed " don't forget he will never forget this, he's going to talk to you sooner or later " her mother said " you know your father"

Anna agreed to her

"Go on, sleep tight," she says and she kissed on her head while hugging her

Anna closed her eyes and felt the warmth of her mother. after that Her mother left and went downstairs, meanwhile, Anna lay again to her bed, she's lethargic thus she can't hold her eyes to open, she had a body malaise so that a few seconds without knowing she fell asleep again.

Anna woke up in the late afternoon, She checked her mobile phone it's already 6:30 pm, She went downstairs, her siblings are watching Netflix on their TV screen, Her parents are preparing for their dinner, she sat down on the Chair, her mother checked her if she's feeling alright.

"How was your feeling?" her mother questioned

"I'm feeling better" she answered her

"Hmm, you just did that for you to escape from me" her father tease her

she chuckled " Of course not," she says " I am sorry pops!" she apologized to him " I know I broke the rules, and I promised I will not do it again, cross my heart " she explained

"Hmm, " he says and look suspiciously at her " tell me, you got drunk last night?" he asked

Anna grinned and nodded

"You knew me, I did not, it's friend, my girlfriend?" she says

"Don't you dare to lie at me young girl" he said

"Believe me...me it's not, trust me" she convinces him " hm...please," she says

" If I knew you had a boyfriend, You know what are the consequences right?"

Anna nodded " Yes sir... 100 percent, claro Papa! " she says gave him a sweet smile

Her father hissed and smiled back to her, "Go and help us to prepare this food" he says to Anna

Anna sniffed the food on the table " Wow!, I miss your cook" she said to him

Her father walked toward her and messy her hair " find someone who can fill your empty stomach my child, marry someone like me" he teased her

"How can I find someone, If you didn't allow me to have a boyfriend now" she teased him and laughed

Her father clicked his tongue " Someday of course I will allow you too if you finished your study, you can find someone... you're a bachelor degree, the guys will look upon you "

Anna laughed " How I wished, But I am not an actress nor a model, right Mama? " she says

"you don't need to be an actress or a model," her mother said

"Don't lose your faith, God made a perfect match for you, he will give that man, on the right time" he added

Anna smiled and agreed to him "alright, I know that "she says and gave them a sweet smile
