Chapter 17 - CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

JUSTIN

Her head rested on my chest, with her body weight on me. My heart was beating very fast and I looked down to see her. She looked extremely pale and terribly sick.

My adrenaline striked, I immediately carried her in my arms. I was panting really well and I carried her into my room and placed her on my bed.

I picked my phone but my hand was all sweaty and shaky. I unlocked it with my thumb print and I went to calls. I was really panicking and I didn't know who to call. Immediately, I received a call from an unknown number. I just picked without knowing who it was.

"Hello." I was still in a state of shock and my voice was shivering.

"Hello, is this Justin?" The feminine voice seemed more than worried.

"Yes?"

"This is Susy speaking," she paused and continued, "I want to confirm if you have seen Emi."

"Oh yes, she's at my place." I responded still shocked.

"Okay great!" She sighed, "I'm coming with the doctor to your place, don't go!" She hang the call.

I was a bit relieved when I heard that. I sighed and I dropped my phone on the bed. I slowly walked towards her and I sat beside her.

I sighed again and just stared at her, looking worried. I just kept wandering why she came here? What the heck was she doing?

I sat on the bed and I placed my hands on my forehead, closing my eyes. Why was she even here? I exhaled deeply and my gaze met with her's, opening my eyes.

I squeezed my brows and I wasn't feeling comfortable sitting on the bed doing nothing. Especially the fact that I knew she fainted not so long.

I heard footsteps from the corridor and it sounded like heels. I smiled and I felt so happy to see her.

Not long after, the door opened without a knock. It was the lady that was mostly with Emi, Susy I think, and beside her was a doctor. Susy looked extremely worried and she was panting heavily. She walked up to me angrily.

"Excuse." She glared at me and her voice sounded threatening.

I narrowed my eyes at her and stood from the bed.

The doctor walked past me, completely ignoring my presence. He went to Emi and he stayed beside her, probably examining her.

He opened her eyes, checked her heart beat and pulse rate. His facial expression was unexplainable. For some reason, I was actually concerned about her. It was not like I cared because I had some special feeling for her or something, it's just because she's human after all.

"Is she okay?" I asked the doctor, obviously looked curious.

He packed his stuff and he faced us, standing. "She's completely fine." He gave us an assurance.

"What made her unconscious?" Susy asked and she looked teary.

"She has been stressing herself too much, that was probably why." He explained using formal gestures, "she will come around in the next hours, just stay with her then."

He gave a small smile and he was about leaving.

"Can't we take her to another room?" She stopped him from moving further.

"I wouldn't suggest that, she can just stay here until she becomes conscious." He gave the same smile and he left the room.

Susy and I stood awakardly in the room, standing beside each other. The silence was so dramatic even though we couldn't hear a thing.

"I think_" we both paused when we said it at the same time.

"Go on." She eyed me and removed her gaze from me.

"I think you should leave." I struggled to say those words.

She squeezed her brows in confusion and she faced me. "Why do you think I would leave her with you. I really know nothing about you." Her eyes gave a dangerous look.

"Don't you think that's what your friend wants?" I asked rhetorically, "why do you think she came here, knowing fully well you were also present."

She looked at me awkwardly and more confused. She was completely shut of words and she just turned. She quietly left the room.

I smirked and gave a small chuckle. I sighed and I just sat beside her.

------

I was staring at her continuously and it was already in the night, and she was still unconscious. I was already starting to get worried but I was still waiting patiently.

Even though she was sick, she still had her beauty intact. Words couldn't explain how elegant she was looking.

Her eyes finally move and she began squeaking. She furrowed those pretty brown brows, she tiredly and slowly opened her eyes. Her face read confusion and she was analysing the room, with her eyes almost shut, then her gaze met mine.

"You're finally up." I softly said.

She squeezed her face even more and she groaned a little. She managed and she sat up, resting her back on the wood. We looked at each other and there was silence.

"I think you should go to your room." I said coldly.

She gave me an extremely pretty smile, I couldn't resist. Those perfectly shaped heart pink lips that looked juicy.

"You know, seeing you here with me seems like a life time blessing." She smiled even more.

My heart skipped a beat hearing those words. My eyes glanced through her perfectly smooth face. She had a young pretty face and I just felt like resting my lips against hers, completely forgetting everything.

She smiled even more, making my heart skip another beat. I could feel my hands sweaty and my heart beating crazily fast. It was the first time I ever experienced such.

She had the same smile and she placed her right hand on my hands.

My heart started pounding really fast, my eyes wandered through her restlessly. I widened my eyes and I was wandering what I was feeling.

I wandered my eyes through her face and to my hand. I was feeling her soft hand against my hand, and my brain began to wonder what her lips felt like. Where they as soft as her hands?

My brain immediately reset. I widened my eyes even more and she looked at me with shock.

I didn't even bother, I just removed my hand from hers. I stood and turned around with shock. I was blinking repeatedly and was wandering my eyes around the room, completely ignoring her.

I just stood there quietly like an idiot. I tightened my eyes and this was just too embarrassing.

The next thing I felt was her behind me. I could feel her presence but was too sacred to turn. I could also feel the height difference without even turning. She felt much shorter probably because she wasn't wearing heels.

I felt her hand on my shoulders and she turned me to face opposite her. I looked down to see her and my heart started beating very fast, again!

She dragged the collar of my shirt and she pushed my face to reach her face. She gave a sly look and our face were few inches apart. She brought her lips closer to mine, almost touching each other.

My brain became dumb, I blinked my eyes and I waiting for her to make her move. She brought her lips further and it was now 1 cm apart.

I closed my eyes and turned my face to the right. Finally, we were going to kiss.
