Different
Ralph's POV
I still can not believe it. After 4 years I never thought that Chelsea feels the same way too. I touch my lips and close my eyes imagining the kiss that Chelsea and I shared under the moonlight. I tried reminiscing how I imagined my first kiss would be and knowing that Chelsea was my first kiss I thought it would be special but why am I feeling this way? I felt nothing as if I just kissed a friend. I am confused I suddenly thought of Gena's face. I can't keep her out of my mind it would have been better if Gena was my first kiss. I shake my head trying to remove dirty thoughts. I had a feeling that there's something different about her.
I better visit Gena just to make sure how she was doing. I didn't know she had allergies and not only that she has the same allergies as godmother Monisha. I am thankful that Xander was here when Gena had anaphylaxis at least she was given an adrenaline shot right away. I know how dangerous anaphylaxis was because I witnessed how godmother Monisha had anaphylaxis when she accidentally ate the peanut butter cookies my mom baked when she thought it to be oatmeal cookies. That's why Aunt Monisha always has an EpiPen or antihistamines when emergencies like that arise.
I woke up late the next day. I was in a good mood thinking that I will see Gena today. I went inside my bathroom and took a quick shower. I change and wore a pair of black ripped jeans, a white v neck shirt, and my black sneakers. I sprayed cologne and got my car keys and came rushing down the stairs when I saw Chelsea sitting on the sofa comfortably with godmother Monisha and my mom on the one-seater sofa.
"Good morning son! Why are you dressed up?" my mom greeted me as I approached them kissing her cheek and doing the same to godmother Monisha. I just smiled at Chelsea.
" I am going to visit Gena mom, you know what happened to her last night? " I answered.
" Y-yeah poor girl, I never thought that she also has the same allergies as yours Monisha? " my mom said turning to Monisha.
" Yes oh, Amanda that's why I was feeling a little guilty knowing that happened to her because of the Sans Rival I made. " godmother answered sadness is evident in her voice.
"No, don't be Aunt Monisha it was my fault because I was very excited to offer Gena your specialty, and I forgot to ask if she's allergic to any nuts or peanuts." Chelsea cut in to take the blame.
" Nonsense dear don't be. I heard she's out of danger according to Xander so why don't you two go and visit Gena together Ralph? Chelsea?" My mom asked smiling.
" Thanks, mom, godmother Monisha we'll go ahead. " I bid them goodbye.
I saw Chelsea feeling hesitant but she agreed and stood up.
"We'll go ahead, Aunt Amanda and Aunt Monisha," Chelsea said and kissed them both on their cheeks, and followed me to my car.
Meanwhile
Gena woke up feeling light-headed she felt Guilla jumping on the bed.
" Ma ma." Guilla said and tried jumping again on the bed but I got up and pulled her for a hug.
" Silly girl, stop jumping! You might fall." I tried stopping her then tickling her on the side of her waist. Guilla laughed out loud.
We were like that for 10 minutes, we didn't even notice that someone was knocking on the door. Xander's face peep on the door.
I stopped and fix myself and pulled up the blanket to cover myself. I felt awkward because I am not wearing my brassiere again. I blushed, I saw Guilla raising both her arms to Xander.
" I am sorry to disturb you girls. I just need to check your vitals Gena just to make sure that everything's going back to normal." Xander said and carried Guilla. He raised Guilla up in the air that earned a laugh from her.
" Good morning! Yes, sure thank you for saving me last night. I didn't properly thank you. I thought I was going to die, If not for you.." my voice broke as tears rolled down my cheeks. I wiped it out and smiled at him.
" It's my job, don't mention it. I was also worried at first but still thankful that I brought my medical bag with me." Xander said and smiled genuinely. He put down Guilla on the bed, while he went to the side table to get his medical bag.
Xander opened his medical bag. I didn't notice that's on the side table when he entered here earlier. He took his stethoscope and thermometer.
He sat on the side of the bed. He got two pillows and put them on my back so that I can sit comfortably. I closed my eyes and smelled his shower gel. I bit my lips to calm myself. I feel like having a fever. I swallowed hard and clasp both my hands.
Xander took my temperature and wrote it on the monitoring sheet. He then took my left wrist to get my pulse rate, I tried avoiding him but his fingers feel very soft on my wrist and my hand feels so small. Stop it, Gena! I tried scolding myself. I felt my heart beating fast. I hope Xander wouldn't notice it. After taking my pulse rate he wrote something on the monitoring sheet again.
He took his stethoscope and hang it on his neck. He then put the ear tips in his ears then place the diaphragm: (which is the larger, flatter side of the chest piece) on my left upper chest. He then looked at his watch while listening to my heartbeat. My awkwardness disappeared as I see how Xander maintain his professional self while checking my condition. He then nods his head in approval.
" Can you get up a bit? I just want to listen to your lungs, " he instructed.
I then gathered my hair at the back and put it on the left side of my shoulders and I sat up straight on the bed.
" Can you inhale? 1, 2.. exhale 1, 2.. " while he was checking my lungs and giving instructions.I did what he instructed, it lasted for 2 minutes.
After Xander checked that everything is fine with my vitals, he then left.
After two minutes I saw Nanny Belen coming inside the room with a tray. I checked the tray and its mouth-watering. There are pancakes for me and Guilla, sunny side up eggs, bacon, fried rice, and some sliced apples and oranges. There's also milk for Guilla on a feeding bottle and a glass of orange juice and a glass of water.
" Are you feeling better dear? Xander was so worried about you last night when he called." Nanny Belen asked and I was surprised. Xander was worried?
" Thank you, Nanny, I am feeling much better now. " I answered and smiled shyly. I am also trying to hide my curiosity. I wanted to ask her something but she interrupted me.
" Ohh, by the way, you have visitors. Your friends Ralph and Chelsea are outside, they wanted to make sure that you're okay, " Nanny Belen said. My eyes widen and smiled. Did they go here together? I thought. I am glad if they came here together it only means that they are back to being friends.
