Tasting the sweetness

Aaron patted the place next to him.

"Come here."

Thea looked at his king sized bed before sitting on the edge of it.

"Now drink this medicine." She said, handing some cold pills and a glass of water over to him. Aaron took them and gulped down the medicine in one go.

"Yuck, the brown one is horrible." He wrinkled his nose while pulling his tongue out.

"Thea, it's gross! Do something."

Thea threw a chocolate at him.

"Eat this."

Aaron narrowed his eyes, looking upset. However he still ate it.

"Mmm...It's yummy." He licked his lips. Thea's eyes lit up.

"Really? There was only one left when I bought it from the market. I'm glad you like it. I wish there are some more so that I can taste it too."

Her voice sounded regrettable.

Aaron smirked when he heard her.

"Do you wanna taste it?" He asked, his voice abit seductive.

Thea didn't realize his motive. She frowned.

"I already told you that there are none left anymo..."

Before she could finish, Aaron pulled her by wrist, making her to fall onto his bed. He didn't allow her to digest to the situation as he laid on the top of her, carefully not to hurt her by weighing his weight on her.

Thea was dumbfounded.

"Hey what are you doing?"

Aaron smiled.

"You said you wish to taste it. I'm just helping you to fulfill it."

"But..."

Aaron closed his eyes and slowly got closer to Thea. She looked at his red lips which were about to touch hers. She also closed her eyes while clenching her fists, accepting her fate. She could even feel his long curly eyelashes that rubbed against her. It was ticklish. When their lips almost touched, the phone inside Aaron's pocket started ringing, flinching the two.

Aaron quickly opened his eyes, pulling himself away from Thea. He took out the phone while cursing inside his mind. Thea also stood up from the bed, distancing herself from Aaron. When she saw the name flashed on his phone's screen, somehow for an unknown reason, she felt upset and kinda jealous?

Aaron had saved Sofia's number as 'My beloved'!

"Hi babe, forgot something?" Sofia's voice sounded from the other side.

"Hmm...What is it?"

"What hmm, ha?"

"Why did you call me?" Aaron asked impatiently, sounding ruffled by her.

"You are so bad." Sofia howled.

"You promised to go on a date with me today. I'm in the park for an hour now. Where are you?"

Aaron sighed heavily.

"I'm sick."

"I already know you're sick. Now come here soon."

"I'm sick! I mean I'm NOT well, okay? Not the other one." He blared, pissing off by Sofia's little joke.

Thea didn't stay at Aaron's room any longer. She went to the living room and started preparing her stuff to go home. After that, she called Wilson uncle to come and pick her up.

When Aaron finished his call and went out to find Thea, he happened to see her leaving without even saying good bye. He was so upset that he yelled at her.

"Thea! Where are you going? Who said you can leave?"

Thea paused and turned around, facing him.

"Mr. Blake, now your girlfriend knows that you aren't well, she'll definitely come to take care of you. I don't like being a third wheel. So, better leaving now. Goodbye, rest well." With that, she left hurriedly like she was angry and sad about something.

Aaron felt his heart tighten the moment he heard Thea's words. He felt guilty for no reason.

Maybe... he should break up with Sofia?

Aaron's eyes widened at that thought. He felt his head heavy as if he was having a headache. Coupled with his illness, he felt... utmost pain!

On her way back, Thea called Samantha and told her everything that had happened with Aaron.

"What a jerk." She grumbled. Samantha was confused.

"What did he do to you?" She questioned, puzzled.

Thea exhaled a long breath.

"Didn't I tell you already? He became lovey-dovey with Sofia for fifteen minutes! Fifteen minutes, okay?"

"But isn't she his girlfriend at least... for now?"

"Still... He asked me to come over and take care of him and I did as he said. How did he repay me? You know, that jerk even tried to kiss me! Doesn't he feel guilty for cheating? What an unfaithful scumbag!"

Samantha felt something was wrong here.

"Thea, why do I feel like you are being unreasonable? By any chance, are you actually jealous?"

Thea blinked her eyes.

"Are you crazy?!" She snapped. "Why do I feel jealous over a person like him? He's a scummy nutcase!"

Samantha chuckled.

"Girly, I think you have a crush on him and you're refusing it, right, right?"

Thea pouted her lips unhappily.

"Sammy, Don't tease me!"

Unexpectedly, Thea caught a glimpse of a black hoodie boy who was walking along the street, alone. She instantly recognised him. He was the pizza boy!

"Wait a minute Sam, I'll call you later."

She quickly hung up the phone and tapped on the driver's seat to gain Wilson uncle's attention as she instructed, "Stop the car."

Thea couldn't believe it. Although he had said that fate would make them meet once again, she didn't take it seriously...until now. However, she finally started believing his words. She never expected them to meet under such circumstances.

Thea swiftly got down and started chasing after him. She wanted to shout, calling his name. But when she realized that she didn't know his name yet, she dismissed that idea.

The pizza boy was walking so fast like he was in a hurry. Thea was so exhausted the whole day thus she caught up with him with great difficulty, panting and pausing her steps.

When she saw him trying to hide his face using his hoodie and looking around from time to time nervously like he was being afraid of someone, she changed her mind.

Rather than calling out to him, she decided to follow this suspicious guy to see what he was up to.
