Chapter 8

Ethan's POV

I was currently laying on my bed, a blanket draped over my body. I had been working on my story and hadn't realized when I fell asleep. I had high fever so I couldn't go to college today. I didn't say anything to mum since she would worry too much.

I picked up my phone and clicked Riley's contact. She picked up in first two rings "Hey boo, where are you?"

"Rey I wouldn't be coming today, I'm not well"

"Do you want me to drop by, later today?" she asked worried. "No it's okay, you have your classes just take my homework for today"

"Okay babe, take care" I nodded even though she couldn't see and hanged up. I didn't have the medicine with me and I didn't feel like getting up so I just laid in my bed.

I don't know why but I thought about Damian, I wanted him to be here, with me. But I know, it isn't possible. I fell asleep thinking about him.

Damian POV

I reached class and as usual looked at the place where Ethan sits but it was empty. I looked around the room but couldn't find him. He is never late. I started with my lesson, maybe he's running late.

The class was almost over and Ethan didn't come. I dismissed the class and I was about to leave when I overheard a boy asking about Ethan,

"He is sick, he called in the morning" a girl who always sits beside him said. He's sick.

'Should I go check up on him?' I asked myself. I quickly went to the staff room to collect my things. I entered my car and drove to his house.

I reached his house and exited the car. I looked at the door and it was slightly parted. I opened the door and went straight towards his room. It was unlocked, I opened the door and found Ethan laying on the bed. I walked up to him and touched his forehead. It was burning.

I quickly went down and poured water in a bowl, I searched for some towels and went back upstairs. I sat beside him and soaked the cloth in water and placed it on his forehead. I took another cloth and wiped his neck and hands with it. I then changed the cloth on his forehead with another one. After the temperature had somewhat lowered.

I went to the kitchen and made some soup for him. I went back up with the soup and placed it on the bedside table. I shook him so that he can wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and I helped him sit up. He started "h-how" but I cut him off. "Kitten I made you soup, have some" he nodded.

I placed the spoon near his lips, he opened his mouth and covered the spoon with his lips. After feeding him I gave him the medicines. "Did you make the soup?" he asked. I nodded

"Why, did you not like it?" I asked. He shook his head "No, it was nice" he smiled.

"Why didn't you eat something before?" I asked. "I don't know how to cook." he stated.

"If you'd like I can cook for you Kitten" I smiled, he blushed and nodded. "But first give me your number" I said handing him my phone, he put in his number and handed it back to me. "You call me whenever you want" he nodded.

"Are you feeling sleepy?" He just shook his head. I nodded "Then do you want to watch something?" he nodded. I switched on the TV and put on some Netflix. We wanted to watch Mulan so I put it on. He is just so cute.

I sat beside him and pulled him in front of me. He looked surprised soon his cheeks turned darker. I chuckled and wrapped my hands around him. He is just so adorable. My innocent, adorable little kitten. We were halfway through the movie when he started fidgeting. I looked down, "What's wrong?" I asked.

"W-want water" he said. I nodded. I had already placed a jug of water on the table so I poured the water in the glass and lifted it to his lips. He slowly drank. I placed the now empty glass on the table.

I lifted his chin with my index finger, "Don't ever hesitate to ask me anything Kitten" I demanded. He quickly nodded. "Good" I said and he blushed. So he likes to be praised. I smirked. My little kitten.

The movie was over but he wanted to see another one, I didn't mind but I wanted him to rest. "You need to rest Kitten" I said.

"After this pleasee" he pouted and looked at me with his big doe eyes. I smiled "Okay but after this you will rest" He did a little yay. He is too cute.

He fell asleep after half and hour into the movie, I smiled. I switched off the TV and carefully laid him on the bed. I laid down beside him and covered the both of us with the blanket. I placed my arm on his waist and pulled him close. I closed my eyes drifting off to sleep.
