Quickly, the bodyguard come toward them and covered Cristan while Arissa that half-unconscious was carried by the other men. In a rush, Vika instructed 2 other bodyguards to spread a wide cloth as an emergency fitting room and undress Arissa's wet costume then changed it into dry clothes and put a jacket on him, but Arissa stills shiver greatly in cold. The thick jacket and clothes that she wears don't help her that much to return to her normal temperature.
At the same time, Cristan also had changed his clothes, and Bryan and his assistant had been arrested by the guards. Quickly, all of them boarded into the boat and left the island. Cristan himself, with the help of a compass, finally able to steer and pull the boat to the lakeside, even though the fog was blindly thick at that time while one of his hands still hold Arissa tightly in his arms. Close to his chest where she can hear his steady heartbeats.
Jojo had been waiting for their arrival worriedly and walked back and forth in panic on the lakeside. When he saw their arrival, he greeted them warmly. He also has a look at Arissa who is being carried by Cristan in his arms. He is so worried when he saw his best friend is in a helpless state.
"Oh my…."
"Arissa, my dear. How is she?" Jojo asked Cristan anxiously.
Cristan didn't say anything as his facial darkened in anger. But, instead of punishing the one who responsible for this "terrible accident", Arissa's well-being is his prior concern now. Soon, he went straight to a van car that he had personally prepared for the photo shoot today. Luckily, because of Jojo's emergency call, Cristan also had brought his own medical team as a preparation for the worst. And, thankfully, he had done it.
"I will take care of Arissa. Just make sure that damn photographer and his assistants will be on guard. Don't let them escape or run away. I'll deal with them later on…"
Cristan instructed his command coldly to Jojo, Vika, and the chief of his guards' team.
Immediately, the three of them nodded their heads and left. Conveying his orders.
Two medics immediately prepared a mattress in the van. Once they finished, Cristan slowly lowered Arissa's body that he has been holding onto the mattress. Deftly, the medics checked Arissa's heart rate and pulse. Her state is not in a good condition. She constantly shivering and shriveled up like a ball to warm herself. Her body temperature is so low and his teeth chattered continuously.
"She's lucky. If you're late to save her in time, sir. This girl would be dying because of hypothermia." The medics told Cristan after he checks Arissa's condition.
Even though it was said that Arissa had just escaped from the verge of death, but her condition is indifferent. She stills severely suffered from coldness and makes him sick worried.
"How is her condition?" Cristan blurted the question anxiously and pulled her back into his embrace.
"Her temperature indeed so low but we also brought electric blankets inside the van for an emergency. We are planning to give it to Miss Arissa now…"
Christian nodded. He would approve everything as long as it could reduce her suffering just now. Even though they brought an electric blanket, it still takes some time to blow it and restore her temperature to normal shortly.
"Is there another way that we can use to warm her faster?" Cristan asked the medics again.
Nervously, the medics looked at each other doubtfully. They seemed to have found the answer but wouldn't dare to answer his question straight-forwardly.
"So? Can you tell me?"
Cristan becomes a bit pushy and insisted on an answer at once.
If it's related to her life or safety, he would do anything. Even the worst for sure!
"There is another way, young master."
"But we think this approach is a little bit inappropriate…"
Cristan raised his eyebrows impatiently.
"Tell me…"
"Warm the patient with another human body. This is the fastest way to reduce the coldness and increase the temperature as well..."
"Okay then…"
Quickly, Cristan rushed into the van while he carries Arissa in his arms but then, his move was stopped by the medics.
"Young master, what are you going to do?" The first medics asked him a panic.
"Of course, I would get inside and warms her with my body. What else?"
"What's wrong with it? Don't you say this is the easiest and fastest way to save her life?" Cristan replied to him fiercely. His gaze was anger and impatiently.
The faces of the two medics suddenly turned red like boiled crabs while they still holding him to move further.
"This… this… is not good, young master. This is inappropriate!" One of the medics keeps warned him warily.
Especially when they are in a public place right now!
Having such intimate intercourse with a girl inside a car, it surely will taint their young master's image. An affair in a public space like this would be "good news" for the paparazzi or some nosy people that would spread this incident!!
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!" Cristan shouted fiercely, pushing the medics aside, and stormed in into the van in flash speed.
Shocked by his unexpected act, the medics almost fell over when Cristan suddenly closed the door and locked it from the inside.
CLICK!!
".....!!!!"
The medics only blink a few times in disbelief because of his reaction. Then, in the next minute, they exhaled a deep breath of resignation and stand guard in front of the door.
.................
Once he was inside the van, Cristan took off all his clothes until he was only wearing a boxer. In quick, he also stripped Arissa until she was only wearing her underwear and he turned on the electric blanket afterward.
Slowly, he pulled Arissa's still shivers and hugged her in his arms tightly.
CRSSSSSSSS....
Her icy-cold body felt like a block of ice when it pressed against the heat of his body. Cristan shuddered for a moment but he still held the girl tightly as he covered them both with the electric blanket that he had prepared.
Slowly, 20 minutes later, the coldness in her body began to disappear and her temperature returned to normal. A blush appeared on her face again. His lips returned to their color and the sound of her breath become steady. Along with her pulse and heartbeat.
Surprisingly, even though they were both half-naked, there was no slightly lewd thought crossed in Cristan's head at that time. The only thing he thought about is the girl's safety and how to recover her condition as soon as possible!
Cristan observed each change that slowly appears on Arissa thoroughly. His fingers stroked Arissa's hair gently several times and smelled the fresh scent of her shampoo. After a while and he was reassured that she's fine and her condition had gradually stabilized and her heart is beating normally, he sighed relief.
While he still hugging her in his arms, unconsciously, he fell asleep.
................
The medics who stood and guard in front of the door, just staring blankly at the crowd of crew and staff who went back and forth and asking about Cristan and Arissa's whereabout. And, again, they unanimously said that those two are resting and can't be disturbed at all.
Even in their wildest dreams, the two of them would never imagine that they have to guard a van while their young master is "having fun" inside with his girl.
Slowly, some erotical "rocking car" scenes that they often watch in the movies began to swirl and cross their minds. They knew well how strong their young master is because they are so familiar with him since he was little back then.
"Maybe we should prepare ourselves and hold the car when it starts rocking so people wouldn't get too suspicious…" One of the medics whispered it to his partner that answered it shortly with a nervous nod.
Then, patiently, they waited….
One hour…
Two hours….
Three hours…
Silence.
Quiet.
There's no such a sound.
The car remains silent and awkwardly quiet.
Confusedly, the two of them looked at each other. This is clearly beyond their expectation. Then, in the next minute, they gasped in panic.
Did something bad happen to their young master?
Hurriedly, they banged on the door and shout loudly.
"Young master!!!! Please open the door quickly!!!"
...........
Hearing the noises from outside, Arissa itching and slowly woken up by the sound of the door banging. Her eyelids still feel heavy because of sleepiness but at the same time, she also felt so comfortable. The same comfort when she fell asleep in someone's arms before. When someone cocooned her. Then, when she opened her eyes, what comes into her shock was…..Cristan's face.
It's right in front of her!
Just a few centimeters from her face!
Arissa flabbergasted and when she tried to wake, she felt a gust of cold air.
A frown appears on her face but, it changed into a loud gasp when she realized that she is almost naked!!
She only wears underwear on her body!!
What the hell????
Instantly, her face heats up once again when she notices that Cristan is not dressed well and snoring while her arms cuddling her tightly!!
Cristan that felt a slight movement next to him finally woke up and his eyes met a pair of nervous blue orbs that still sitting and covering her upper chest with a redden face like a boiled crab and she is glaring at him.
"Arissa?"
Cristan called her name softly as he got up as fast as he could and leaned his gorgeous body towards the girl.
Arissa reflexively backed away but her head immediately bumped.
"Ouch!!
Looking at her spontaneous act, Cristan grabbed her arm and pull her back closer to him. He cupped her beautiful face and stared at her anxiously. Then, he rubbed the area which was bumped tenderly.
"Are you okay? How are you? Do you still feel cold? How do you feel now?" Cristan blurted those questions repetitively while his other hand massaged her head and shoulders carefully.
Arissa shook her head slowly and answered him. "No, I'm fine…"
After he checked up on her condition and make sure everything is okay, he pulled her back. Much closer this time. To his chest where she can hear his steady heartbeat and feel the warmth of his.
"Thank God…. Thank goodness… you're fine …."
Cristan whispered softly in her ear. Saying his gratitude. Expressing his feeling towards her. While his body trembles slightly because he was holding back his emotions and unshed tears because of her condition earlier. He was so scared…
Thinking that he almost lost this girl!
If he's late. Even though, it just a bit. He couldn't imagine the rest of it. Losing her… is an unbearable consequence for him!
He has no idea how he should deal with his life if something bad happened to her!!
Thank God….
Arissa is safe….
Thank God….
She's fine…now
"Cristan…"
He heard her calling his name softly.
"Yes?" He replied, looking at her face intensely.
"Why are we here? And why I'm only wearing underwear? Who is…."
Before Arissa had finished her sentence, quickly, Cristan landed a kiss on her plump lips …
Arissa : "...….!!!!"
