A long and awkward silence rang inside Aiden's room as soon as Clark left the place.
It was Nathalia who first broke the silence when she decided that she could no longer take it anymore.
"So, how was your head? Does it still hurt???"
She asked as she tried to open a conversation
But Aiden just looked at her with an expression that was hard to read.
"What???? Tell me what is it??? I don't want to read your mind without your consent. It's your privacy."
"No, no, no... This is just a dream, just a very real-like dream. This was all inside my head. I need to wake up."
Aiden did a pep talk to convince himself.
He did not want to believe that any of this that was happening to him right now was for real.
"Err... I can assure you that you are wide awake right at this moment. In fact, you just woke up. But if you want I can also put you back to sleep, then wake you up again."
Nathalia suggested when she heard what Aiden was saying to himself.
"So I am awake. Okay, I am awake. Aiden, this is not a dream. Right! This is just an effect of the medicine! That must be it. I am just seeing things just like before. She was just part of your imagination, Aiden. No need to panic. It will be over once the effect of the medicine subsided."
Once more, Aiden tried to rationalized his situation and adopted the explanation that Dr. Coolman gave to him so as to explain all the weird things that he was seeing ever since he woke up.
"Well, sorry to interrupt you with your conversation with yourself but let me just correct you. Firstly, you are not seeing things, everything you saw was real, it's my gift. And second, I am not a figment of your imagination or a side effect of a medicine you say. I am definitely for real, touch me if you want."
"Woah! A brazen lady asking to be touched by a man on her own accord. My imagination was really something else. Did I unknowingly become a sexually frustrated man that I am starting to imagine things like this??? Me and this freaking hot and beautiful woman alone inside a single room. Where would it go next??? Hmmm.."
Aiden thought to himself and it made Nathalia blush.
So before Aiden could even say anything further inside his mind, Nathalia already cut him off.
"Shut up! What are you even thinking? Let me just call your friend back here so he could prove to you that I am real."
Nathalia's cheek was burning hot and her face was already starting to turn in the shade of red.
As embarrassing as it was, she could not help but admit to herself that Aiden's thoughts about her were making a queen like her to blush like a teenage girl.
"Wait!"
Nathalia was just about to turn around to look for Clark outside when Aiden suddenly reached out for her arm to stop her.
Aiden was just as shock as Nathalia when he realized what he just did. He was not exactly sure why he stopped her in the first place.
But the feeling of the other party's supple skin making contact with his slightly callused hand was so real.
Not to mention that it also has a tingling effect on him.
They stared at each other and just like before, Aiden felt drawn to those two pools of silver-gray eyes.
Her eyes were melting him inside, yet at the same time he had this feeling that he just wanted to remain forever in the presence of those eyes
Did a mere fragment of imagination could really have such a tremendous effect on him?
Nathalia was the first one to avert her gaze this time and she also pulled away from Aiden's grasp.
Before that crazy little thing called love could even cloud her rationality and made her do something that she would not normally do.
She stepped back a little, away from Aiden's bed. Putting a safe distance between her and Aiden.
