Kyra was surprised but nodded her head. She somehow believed him…
There was a silence for a few moments as Oliver finished with his first aid and placed their wet clothes to dry near the window.
Later he sat down on the floor, shirtless as there is nothing to cover himself with.
He shivered a little and it didn't miss Kyra's eyes. It was when she noticed that they have nothing in this house to make themself warm except for the blanket she is wrapped with.
Warmth spread across her heart.
How Oliver placed her above himself made her feel warm and lucky. He is her idol and not many people get an opportunity like this. Mostly no one…
"We can share the blanket you know.", she said in that elated moment, not thinking about anything else.
Oliver raised his eyebrow in amusement and surprise. She has nothing on, except for her bra and he was topless. Sharing a same blanket means practically sitting so close to each other that their bodies will be in contact intimately.
"You sure, Kyra?" he asked in his sexy tone with a raised eyebrow that Kyra blushed immediately.
She could feel butterflies fluttering in her stomach…
Looking at her red face, Oliver chuckled and didn't tease her anymore. Truth to be told, he realized that Kyra is not someone who allows people easily into her life.
He is lucky enough that she got comfortable with him easily. He didn't want to push it anymore, taking her trust in him as granted.
Kyra covered her face with her palms and that made Oliver chuckle.
The pitter- patter of the rain coupled with the earthly scent filled the air with pleasant and sweet vibes.
Kyra closed her eyes with a smile on her lips. She doesn't know why but she felt happy and peaceful, despite the pain in her head and abdomen.
Oliver's company always made her happy and it did wonders on her.
"You have a cold body and staying like this, you might catch a cold. Are you really fine with staying like this?", Kyra asked after some time, concerned.
"I don't have a cold body," Oliver said. He tried his best to hide it as it might put Kyra in an awkward and guilty position. They only have one blanket and she is using it…
"You do. Don't lie, Oliver.", Kyra said, calling him by his name for the second time.
It made Oliver's heart flutter and a warm smile formed on his face, despite the cold freezing his body.
"Why are you smiling? See, you are freezing!", Kyra said as she touched his shoulder, now seriously worried.
"I like it when you call me by my name, Kyra and, how do you know that I have a cold body. I was not shivering now. Yet you found out." Oliver asked, looking at her.
It often made him wonder how they know about each other so much though they have known each other personally for only a few days.
Kyra felt her cheeks redden when Oliver said that he likes it when she calls him by her name.
Oliver is her favorite name since childhood and she doesn't know why, not yet. She likes how it rolls out of my tongue.
"I don't know. Maybe I sensed that you had a cold body when you were carrying me. And… thanks for everything." Kyra thanked him.
"I should be apologizing to you, Kyra. If not for me, you wouldn't be in this accident.", Oliver said with pursed lips.
"You didn't see this coming. Don't apologize. And, I am thanking you for everything. Not only for today.", Kyra said.
Oliver raised his eyebrow, confused. However, remembering that he is the one who inspired her to become a doctor, he nodded his head with a smile.
Their eyes met and everything around them faded. They kept staring into each other's eyes and the environment around them heartened up.
The sudden lightning that has struck the sky made Oliver shiver, disrupting the love bubble that was developing around them.
Lightning makes him nervous and shiver. He feels as if his heart is weighing down on him..
In simple words, he feels sad and gloomy.
It didn't miss Kyra's eyes and it made her guilty and concerned.
"If you don't warm your body now you wouldn't be able to perform surgery in the morning. Health comes first so, let's share the blanket.", Kyra said, sitting up on the couch to make a place for him to sit beside her.
Oliver was freezing already and was reluctant at first because he didn't want to make Kyra uncomfortable. After listening to her genuine words, he didn't refuse anymore.
As soon as he wrapped the blanket around him, Kyra shivered because of the coldness his body was emitting.
"Why did you endure for so long? Mr. Miller, you are putting your health at risk.", Kyra chided.
She didn't know why but she felt so concerned that she didn't realize that she was scolding him.
Listening to her words, Oliver smiled warmly.
Except for his sister and his best friend, no one dared to scold him like this but, it didn't feel repulsive when it came for Kyra now.
In contrast, he could sense the genuine concern in her words which warmed his heart.
They care for each other to the extent that they placed each other above them.
They know about each other as if they have known each other for years. This only implies that they understand each other and could tell what is going on in their minds.
They feel special about each other and in the brief time they have spent, they become close to each other subconsciously.
Despite their constant effort to stay professional with each other, the fatal attraction between them is so strong that it made each other reconsider their preferences.
Oliver, who took an oath to stay single, started to like getting close to Kyra.
Kyra who was stubborn not to date any man till she met her savior is loving Oliver's company so much that she started wavering...
