When Sasha realised that the man beside her had woken up, her body turned stiff. Her whole body froze. Her hand which was stroking his dorsal stopped in between. When she realised what she was doing, she quickly retracted her hand.
Aaric could feel the stiffness in her body. Just then he realised how is he feeling that? He averted his eyes from her face and looked downwards where he could feel that his hand was holding something delicate. The moment he saw that his hand was on her waist and that too tightly wrapped, how much he wished that he should just punch and slap himself hard.
He came to pacify her and now what was he doing? No matter how much he begs her, he thought that there would be still some distance between them. Earlier he would wake up before she was awake but today she clearly saw him sleeping beside her.
Aaric looked at her warily as he was too afraid right now to directly look into her eyes. He was too engrossed to actually think of a way that he sneakily got under the blanket as hers that he did not take notice of her earlier movements when Sasha retracted her hands.
He could see from his side periphery that she wasn't looking at him either. He pulled away the blanket and sat up on the bed. He shifted his eyes and looked at her after much hesitation. Just then he realised that her face had turned scarlet red.
He frowned and bent forward to check her temperature. Just as he was about to place his hand on her forehead he noticed that her face color was changing to dark. 'What's happening? Should I call Alleyn. Oh my… is it the after effects of the medicines…?'
Aaric abruptly got off the bed to take his phone which made Sasha almost jump in fright. He noticed that she became frightened so he apologised to her and explained.
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to frighten you. I was just about to call Alleyn. Don't worry everything will be fine."
Aaric's explanation confused Sasha. She looked at him with knitted eyebrows, confusion laced on her face.
"Do you want to say something? Or are you hurt somewhere?" As soon as he noticed that she was looking at him a bit oddly, he could not help but ask her in a worried tone.
"Why are you calling your doctor friend?" Sasha did not like the taste of medicines, in fact she hated it. So naturally she never liked doctors who would prescribe typical bitter taste medicines to their patients. And this time the medicines and bottles of multi-vitamins which Alleyn prescribed her indeed had a bitter taste, so she started to have a bad impression of him.
Aaric chuckled at the nickname Sasha gave to Alleyn. He clearly understood the intentions behind her not taking his name. He said in response.
"Your face is changing color so frequently. Just a moment ago, it was red and now it's normal pale and again it's slightly red. What is it? Tell me if it's painful or something else? Are you having… a fever. Let me just see… no… you aren't having fever so why is your face so red?" Aaric freaked out so much as he could not understand what was going on with her.
'Was he really dating me back then? He doesn't know that I am feeling shy?' Sasha stared at Aaric in disbelief who was looking back at her in confusion.
Without waiting for another second, Aaric quickly dialled Alleyn's number. Since they both were busy doing something private and intimate, Alletyn did not pick up the call. He just declined.
On the other side, Aaric was losing his patience. He gritted his teeth and called on that number again. Annoyedly, this time Alleyn picked up the call at the last moment.
"What happened? Can't you wait for a few minutes?" Alleyn's panting voice came from the other side. Just a few seconds after that, Amanda spoke.
"Hey… can't you put your phone away at least at this moment?"
Since Aaric kept the phone on speaker, Sasha heard everything the couple said just now which made her embarrassed and even Aaric was feeling a little bit uneasy and jealous at the same time.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" When Alleyn did not get any answer he could not help but raise his voice.
"Just calm your breathing first before taking any other calls. What if it had been somebody else?"
"Nothing to do with you! I know you are just feeling jealous by hearing that me and Amanda were enjoying a wild moment while you have become a saint for the past nine months. Why don't you accept that you are being totally jealous?"
Aaric suddenly looked at Sasha whose eyes were widened in shock and she was not looking back at him directly. Instead she tried not to see him.
'This… I will kill him!!!'
