Cassidy had a hard time pretending to be asleep when Adrian was saying all those sweet-nothings and riddling kisses all over her face.
She was already combusting on the spot, but thanks to her fever, she managed not to get seen through. Her current condition had a use, after all. Now, she only hoped that the loud thumping in her chest went unnoticed - nor the unsteady breathing that she kept letting out the whole time.
'Gosh...! How can a man smell so good?! That alone was already bad for my heart. What more if I opened my eyes and saw what he was doing to me...?!' Cassidy bolted out inside her head, still having an internal panic.
'I know that pretending like this is pretty childish of me too, especially since he really isn't doing anything wrong. But still, I don't think I can face him now.'
