Chapter 22

"Welcome, Mister Vasquez and Miss Yara. Please, come inside." The waiter that invited them a while ago greeted them politely. He guided them in the table in front. Kenzo frowned when he saw who will be joining them on the table.

"Good to see you again, Yara. Hello there, Kenzo. It's too bad you didn't join us in the trek a while ago. It's really fun." Ryker said.

"We had a lot of fun too, right, Yara?" Kenzo said. Yara nodded smiling that made Ryker a little annoyed.

"Is that so." Ryker said and Kenzo brightly smiled.

"Please wait for a while. We will start the event when the owner arrived." The waiter said and left the the table.

Yara felt her temperature is rising slowly and her head aches more. She massaged her forehead and Kenzo saw it.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay? We can go back to the hotel so you could rest." Kenzo said worriedly.

"I think I have a fever." Yara honestly admitted that she's not feeling well.

"Let's go." Kenzo said and stood up.

"The party is not yet starting, where are you going?" Ryker asked.

"She's sick." Kenzo answered.

"Let me help you." Ryker said and holds Yara's elbow.

"Thank you, but I can manage." Kenzo said and Ryker smirked.

Kenzo guided Yara going outside the place. When the waiter saw them, he hurriedly walked towards them.

"Mister Vasquez, where are you going?" The waiter asked.

"She's not feeling well. Give my regards to Nate." Kenzo said and walked towards his car that was brought by the valet.

"Okay Mister Vasquez, I'll let him know." The waiter said that ushered them until they reached the car.

After Kenzo's car left, another car arrived and a gorgeous looking man went out.

"Was that Ken?" The man asked.

"Yes, Sir. His girlfriend is not feeling well so he decided to leave but he said he will see you some other time." The waiter said.

"It's the first time he had brought a girl here. That's interesting. I should probably meet her." The man said.

"Know their whereabouts. I will give him a surprise visit." He continued and the waiter nodded.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome, our Organo's head chef and the owner of Organo, Mister Nathaniel Martin." The emcee introduced Nate and the crowd gave him a round of applause.

Kenzo supported Yara in walking towards their room. He let her laid on the bed.

"I will call Mom and Auntie." Kenzo said and Yara nodded.

Kenzo knocked many times at the door of the room but no one answered.

"Sir Kenzo, is there any problem?" The crew asked.

"Yes. Are they back?" Kenzo asked talking about his parents.

"Not yet, Sir. Maybe, they will spend the night at the hotel at the peak of the mountain. Did you call them?" The crew asked.

"Not yet. Anyway, do you have a medicine for fever?" Kenzo asked.

"Yes Sir, we have." The crew said.

"Okay, please give me some. Yara is sick. Please bring a porridge too." Kenzo said.

"Right away, Sir." The crew said and hurriedly left.

Kenzo returned to the room, he furrowed his forehead when Yara is not on bed.

"Yara? Yara?" He called.

"In here." Yara said on a weak voice.

"What are you doing here?" Kenzo asked when he saw Yara putting water on the bathtub.

"I need to take a bath so the fever will subside." Yara said.

Kenzo saw the reddish face of Yara and when he touched her forehead he worriedly looked at Yara.

"You're burning up. We should go to the hospital." Kenzo said and tried to carry Yara.

"Just help me take a bath. After this, I will be alright. This is what I do whenever I'm sick." Yara said and tried to stand when the tub is almost full of tap water but because her body is shaky, she nearly fell but Kenzo caught her.

"Be careful. How can I help you?" Kenzo asked.

"Undress me." Yara said without realizing what she have said. Because of her high fever, she never think straight. All she wanted is to make the fever subside. Her head is too painful. Her body aches all over. And her fever makes her too weak.

Yara is not a sickly person. She will only have fever and colds once in a blue moon but when it happens, it's worst than being sick everyday.

Kenzo was dumbfounded when he heard what Yara have said. But when Yara started to strip off her clothes, he has no other choice.

"She's sick. I'm only helping her. No more, no less." Kenzo said those words repeatedly until all her clothes were removed. When he saw the nakedness of Yara, he was in dazed.

"Ken, help me." Yara said talking about putting her in the tub.

Kenzo gulped and he can feel his ears are heating up.

"Oh, Yara, why are you punishing me like this." Kenzo whispered.

"What are you saying?" Yara asked.

"Nothing. Are you sure you're going to be fine after this?" Kenzo asked looking at different directions to divert his eyes from the beautiful view in front of him. Yara nodded.

Kenzo carried Yara to the tub and when her body touches his, he felt his arousal.

"Damn!" Kenzo said.

"Sorry..." Yara said.

"No, it's not you. It's me, ok." Kenzo said when he heard her apology.

"Just stay there for a while and call me if you're done." Kenzo said and Yara nodded.

Kenzo went out from the bath and he heard a knocked.

"Sir Kenzo, here's the porridge and the fever medicine. If you need anything, just call us." The crew said but Kenzo became awkward when he saw where's the crew is looking at.

"Hope Ma'am Yara will be fine." The crew said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you." Kenzo said and the crew left.

"I hate you! Don't you know when's the right time to salute and when's the right time to behave?" Kenzo said while looking on his down below who is proudly greeting him.

Kenzo decided not to call his parents and Emma. He doesn't want to worry them. He will tell them tomorrow when they come back.

"Ken..." Yara called his name and he smiled.

"I hope you call me that everyday." He said to himself before getting the towel and the sleepwear for Yara.

Before entering the bath, he looked at himself.

"You behave. She's sick, okay?" He said talking to...you know who it is or what it is.

When Kenzo entered the bath, he was welcomed by the shower curtain.

"Yara?" He called.

"Just leave the towel and my clothes there." Yara said.

"Are you alright? Did the fever subside?" Kenzo asked worriedly.

"A little." Yara said.

"Then, let me help you." Kenzo said and pulled off the curtain.

"No!" Yara said trying to close the curtain again.

"Why? I saw it already a while ago." Kenzo said and was annoyed to himself realizing what he said.

"I know but, I'm too ugly right now." Yara said.

"What!?" Kenzo said and pulled off the curtain again and there he saw what Yara was talking about. His eyes went wide.
