Hours have passed and my body was starting to feel better. That pill was really effective.
I had just awoken from a sleep after we cleaned up lunch earlier.
I was laying down on his bed and I'm pretty sure he was watching TV.
My eyes were squinting as it had to adjust when I looked outside. Buildings, streetlights, I kinda miss the stars, actually. Though there wasn't any here since the city got so bright.
I miss tracing the sky with my fingers, either from outside my window or laying down on the moist grass.
A split of light cracked through from behind me and my eyes had to squint again as I turn around to see Kyle.
"Did I disturb you?" He quietly said holding the door slightly open.
He was really gentle now, I wonder if I hurt his feelings last night, though.
"No, why?" I tried to be as gentle as possible in response.
"Just checking on you whether your fever was starting to go away." He said, welcoming himself inside the room and on the bed.
"I think so, I feel better actually." I reply honestly.
He checked my temperature this time with a thermometer and he looked at it with ease.
"Yeah, the pill's working really fast." His hazel eyes were sparkling from the shine outside as he looked at me.
It felt like his eyes were carving straight out of my soul, it was filled with the sincerity I never knew there was in him.
He just laughed and broke the eye contact and picked up the empty glass from the bedside table.
"Get well soon, Warren." He said, closing the door silently.
My heart was beating louder and louder. Blood rushed through my cheeks. Was I falling for him again, already?
But maybe it's how he just looked at me. Yes, that's i-- No... It can't be. Maybe it's just the side effects of the pill, right? Yes! Maybe? I don't know!
I covered my face with a pillow and let out a grunt.
"What is he doing to me?" I thought.
"Warren?" Kyle's voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Kyle? I took the pillow away and sat up.
"It's... time for dinner. It's already 8 pm." He said. "I''ll prepare everything." He added with a smile.
See? That awful smile! His eyes, his glare, his---
"I'll be right out!" I said in a louder tone.

Warmness rolled down my body, who knew it felt this good? It's been days before I felt the comfort of a warm bath. Plus, I stinked.
My scrubbed away everything my body felt like scrubbing, now I smelled like lavender. His shampoo was mint. He really likes to bathe in plants, doesn't he?
"Hey, are you done?" His voice loudly echoed after knocking at the door.
I realize that I was actually taking a long time to shower, my hands started to get all wrinkly and I havent even brushed my teeth yet.
"Uh, in a minute!" I said opening the shower curtain.
I rinsed away each inch of soap that was on me and immediately turned off the shower. I smothered my body with towels and picked up the brush he bought for me.
I got out of the bathroom, half-naked. My top was exposed. And I felt a little shy since it was a long time ago since I last did something physical with my body.
Kyle was waiting for me outside without his top either.
Damn, I got jealous looking at his build. With those defined six bulbs of pure muscle, I could hardly compare it mine which was a barely visible four-pack as well.
"See something you like?" He said with a smirk.
What? Did he really just say that?
"No." I panicked. "It's not that I don't lik-- No I'm not saying I like it, No--"
"Chill, I was just playing with you." He said as he laughed at me.
I laughed back to play my embarrassment off.
I went in his room which was basically a few feet in front of the bathroom door and opened his closet.
It wasn't as flashy as I'd expected it to be. I mean, yes there were some good clothes but maybe he was just hiding it somewhere. I poked around his closet and there were no secret compartments or what.
The drawers beneath it were filled with underclothes. Woah. That's a lot.
I opened another one and found his underwear.
Just what I actually needed. I picked the one with the polka dots design.
I stretched it in front of my face to get the size
Maybe there wasn't really any sec---
"Warren?" Kyle was opening the door with a little shock and confusion on his face.
"It's not--" I couldn't figure out a valid reason in my head. "It's not what it seems!" was all that came out of my mouth.
Oh shit! How was I going to explain this... this weird thing? I noticed that I was holding it high, dropping it on the floor and picking it up.
Then I felt my towel unravel itself from my knees as I picked it up.
"Get out! I'm changing!" I finally said out loud.
in embarrassment.
The blush on his face couldn't have gotten redder.
Then the door closed at once.
This was not going to help me in any way.
What if he would secretly make fun of me? I felt so grossed out just by looking back at what happened earlier.
What did I do to deserve this? I hope he wasn't paying attention or something.
"Arghh!" I let out a frustrated but embarrassed grunt.
I realize that my towel was also on the floor and I was completely undressed.
I quickly got up and wore whatever I could find in his small closet.
"Warren?" A calm voice asked me from outside.
"Can I come in?" He added. Why would he think that I would let him in? who knows for God's sake the chances of me...
"No!" I said in a panicked voice, not sure if he would come blasting through the door. I was kind of sure he would any second.
"I'm going to put on clothes! You can't leave me naked here!" He said with a sharper tone.
His voice seemed to become more irritated, impatient.
I quickly finished up my outfit and opened the door.
"War--
"Thank yo--" I passed through the door, completely avoiding him out of embarrassment and cutting him off mid-sentence.
"Okay?" I heard him say as he closed the door.
My reputation was over.
