I woke up with a blazing fever. I attempted to get up, but the room started spinning, and I felt like I could faint any second, so I collapsed back onto the bed.I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and messaged my manager to say I wouldn’t be able to come in today. I’ve been booked and busy lately, so resting hasn’t really been in my schedule.I opened the bedside drawer to look for medicine but found none. My palm landed on my forehead when I realized I don’t really keep medicine at home since I rarely get sick. I’d been pushing myself too hard at work, and now my body was finally giving in.I tried calling my mom to ask her to bring me some medicine, but she wasn’t answering. I called Franco as well, but his line was unreachable. I thought about calling a friend, but I knew they were at work right now, and I didn’t want to bother them just for myself.Absent-mindedly, I found myself dialing Kayden’s number. I bit my lower lip as I stared at the screen. His number should still

I woke up feeling a bit better than earlier. It was already dark outside, with only the lampshade casting light across the room.Kayden was nowhere to be found. I sighed and pushed the comforter off my body. I expected him to at least wait for me to wake up before leaving.Hunger pulled me out of bed. I was in the living room when I noticed the kitchen light was still on. He probably forgot to turn it off before leaving.But my eyes widened when I found Kayden there, facing away from me while he cooked. He was shirtless, his sexy back fully on display.I mentally scolded myself for fantasizing about him.“You didn’t leave?” I asked, surprised.Startled by my voice, he turned his head to look at me.“Obviously,” he said sarcastically. “Why? Do you want me to leave now?” His brow lifted.“No,” I answered almost immediately. “I mean, you can if you want. I’m feeling a bit better now.”I sat on the countertop.“What are you cooking?” I asked.“Boiled chicken. Wait a minute, it’s already d

The moment what we’d done hit me, I was overtaken by shame. I couldn’t believe I gave in so quickly to him. I even begged for him like a desperate, sex-starved man.I went to my room while Kayden did the dishes. I cursed myself multiple times as I remembered what had happened earlier.Minutes later, I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes when I heard his footsteps approaching. I wished he would just vanish in a snap; I had no idea how to face him now.“Stop pretending to be asleep. Your eyelids are moving,” he laughed softly.I cursed myself once again before I opened my eyes. I sat up, my eyes focused on my thigh, avoiding eye contact with him.“Aren’t you gonna leave already?” That was the first thing that came out of my mouth.“Now you want me to go home?” he said in a cold tone.“It’s already late. I think you should go home now so you can get some rest.”“Can’t I stay here?”My eyes widened at his statement. I looked up at him. His arms were crossed over his chest as he looked d

I walked past him and sat on the couch, letting myself sink into the cushions. I saw him staring at me through my peripheral vision, so I looked back.“I searched the entire condo, but I found nothing. I’m tired. You can do it all yourself.”I leaned back, grabbed the nearest pillow, and hugged it to my chest. I groaned softly, pressing my face against it as I closed my eyes. My body felt heavy, and the moment I stopped moving, I knew I’d fall asleep instantly.When I didn’t hear any footsteps moving around, I opened my eyes again.He was still standing there, arms at his sides, looking at me like he didn’t know what to do with the situation.I sighed. “Come on. I’m giving you permission to look around. You might find something.”“Aren’t you going to help me?” he asked.I shook my head at once. “Why would I? I already did. And you were the one who insisted, remember?” My brows rose slightly. “I told you to just forget about it and buy a new one.”He fixed me with a fierce glare. “Ju

I was startled awake by the loud, continuous ringing of the doorbell. My eyes barely wanted to open as I dragged myself out of the room. Who’s bold enough to disturb me at this hour?When I opened the door, two familiar faces were standing there.“Hey, dude!”“'Sup, Noah.”They didn’t even wait to be invited in. They tapped my shoulder before heading straight inside, as if this was their house. I watched as they settled comfortably on the couch and placed the food they brought on the table.I frowned and shook my head.“We brought food,” Zade said with a grin that promised an insult to follow, “because we know you’re too lazy to cook for us.”I stepped closer to them. “What the hell? Why are you here? Did I tell you to come over?”Had we arranged something I completely forgot?“No,” Zade replied right away. “We did say we’d come, but you didn’t see it because you never read the group chat.”I sighed. “Do you guys know today is my day off?” I sat at the other end of the couch and leane
