chapter 15

BACK AT THE HOSPITAL.

"Where is Monkey?" Cove asked the moment Orion walked in alone.

"She left"

"What?" Cove frowns.

"I sent her home" Orion replied. Cove scoffs then stood from the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to her" He said unbuttoning his hospital wear.

"You can't!" Orion held his hand stopping him.

"Hyung" Cove called

"Yes, I'm your Hyung. If you respect the fact that I'm older then listen to me. Leave her alone. Let her go...Cove" Orion said sternly.

Cove sat at the living room staring at the food flask Mokee gave him earlier.

Orion had successfully stopped him from going to meet her earlier at the hospital and instead he came back home.

He really likes her, that he's sure of but he just can't get why everyone is against him having her.

They all think he'll hurt her but right now he likes her too much to do that.

He wondered why they can't just see that and believe him.

After thinking for some while, he took his phone and call her number. As usual, she didn't picked up.

"Hey" He texted. She didn't checked.

"I'm hungry, can you make me the porridge again?" He texted again but she didn't checked.

"Can you come for a little while, I want to see you?"

"Hey Monkey"

"Why won't you talk to me?"

"Pick my calls"

"Monkey!"

"My Monkey"

"At least reply my messages!" This time she checked the message but didn't reply.

"If you won't come then I will" He sent then stood up taking his car keys. He was about going out when his phone chimed.

"Give me some moments, I'll be there" She texted back. He smiles and sat back down.

"She's coming..." He beams.

Mokee sighs out after dressing up. She was about going to bed when Cove's messages popped in. She made to ignore it at first but then, it'll be trouble if he comes and Nana sees him so she decided to just go see him. And maybe say her mind.

Him chasing her around, she's got enough of it.

It has to stop.

She walks out to the living room and met Nana watching TV.

"Where are you going?" Nana questioned.

"You aren't asleep yet. It's late" Mokee said nervously.

"I'm a late sleeper you know. But you, where are you off to this night?" Nana frowns.

Mokee's palms became sweaty, she can't tell her she's going to see Cove.

Nana can be really scary when she's angry.

She's just like an angry mother.

"To a date" She blurts out. Nana frowns more.

The Mokee she knows doesn't go to night dates.

"With who?"

"O... Orion. He asked me out this afternoon. I'm off to see him" she lied hoping she'd buy it. Nana stood up and examine her from head to toe.

"Like this? Come girl, don't be old fashioned it's a date for F sake. Come with me!" She pulled her to her room.

COVE'S HOUSE.

Mokee sighs out heavily at the door. Before she leaves the house Nana had make sure she groomed her up.

She was dressed in an off shoulder yellow top, and short jeans skirt which stops a little above her knees. Her hair packed in ponytail, so her sexy collarbone could be visible as said by Nana.

She had a light make-up on also. Nana wanted to do more than that but she stopped her.

She has never been a fan of makeup.

She held unto the strap of the cross bag around her shoulder and sighs one last time before ringing the bell.

The door opens revealing the grinning Cove.

"Monkey!" He pulled her into his arms by surprised, hugging her like a lost lover.

"You came. I missed you"

"Um .. wait..." Mokee wiggle out of his hold, that's when Cove could really see how beautifully dressed she is.

"Wow... you...are pretty" He compliment.

"I didn't dressed up for you, I was on my way from somewhere. Why do you wanna see me?" She asked

"Come in first" He held her hand, pulling her inside.

"Ta_da!"

"What's all this?" She asked looking at the cans of beers he had arranged on the dinning table.

"We've to celebrate my discharge. Sit" He made her seat on the chair.

"What? You called me out for this?" She frowns.

"I needed an excuse to see you. You left without a word earlier..." He said

"That..."

"I know. You're not sure about me. You're probably in two minds about accepting my feelings for you" He added.

"About that i_"

"I can wait. I decided to wait for you Monkey, until you're ready to believe me and like me back. So please, can you stop pushing me away? Don't leave me without a word either. I don't like it. It makes me sad."He completed while she kept mute.

Cove opens two cans of beer and extend one to her.

"I can't drink. I have to go back home"

"I can just take you back...or you sleep over"

"No thanks" She said indifferently.

"Alright." He pouted and take a gulp from it.

"A patient shouldn't drink "

"I've opened it already. It'll be a waist don't you think. Don't worry I'm a heavy drinker"

"But still..."

"I'll only drink this two. This can't get a whole Cove drunk" He smiles.

She sighs.

"Can I ask a question?" He said

"What?" She deadpan.

"Ever since I've confessed my feelings to you till this moment, have you ever once considered it?"

"No" She replied sharply.

"Think about it, for once, just once...has your heart ever...skipped a beat for me?" He stared at her.

"Even once, Mokee" He asked. Mokee looks away standing.

"I've... got to use the restroom" She says rushing away from there.

Cove sighs, gulping down the beer.

Moments later, Mokee came back only to see him passed out already. Four cans empty

"He drank this much..." She sighs tapping him

"Cove...Cove..." He calls but got no response.

"He's wasted"

*. *

"UGH!!" Mokee heaves out on dropping the drunk Cove on the bed.

"Tell...me....Al...rea...dy..." He slurred.

Mokee sighs and turns walking to the door, she was about turning the lights off when she remembered he can't see in the dark.

"Right. Stupid me" She slaps her forehead.

Something came to her mind suddenly and she looks back at him.

"He won't know right?" She walks gently back to him and knelt by the side of his bed careful not to wake him.

Slowly, she raises up his top and moves her face closer to his lower stomach.

However, a sudden gasp left her mouth when she heard his voice says.

"Do you wanna suck?"
