Nik's POV
Though I was slipping in and out of consciousness, I grabbed her hand the moment it went to my face, Maya.
"You came back? " I whispered, holding her hand so tight, afraid it would disappear once I let go.
Though the sight was blurry, I could still make out that charming yet shy smile of hers and those two dark orbs full of life.
" Niklaus " She whispered and cupped my face, tears fell from her eyes.
She gasped, "You're having a fever. " she withdrew her hands and tried to stand on her feet but I tugged her back to the edge of the bed.
"Don't go " I pleaded desperately, I just wanted her beside her. I can't tell why I was behaving this way but I felt she would become a dream I made-up if I dare to let go.
There must have been a hesitant look on her face cause she chewed on her lips and said, "But your body is too hot - "
"Just stay with me, I don't care about my temperature. I'm good "
