"You need to get up!" Ranita went down to help Brendon up. "I'm sorry; it wasn't intentional. Because I just got too close, it's so hot."
As soon as she finished speaking, Brendon pulled her down onto him with a thud but luckily there was a layer of blanket underneath them which cushioned her fall nicely.
"What are you doing?" Ranita fell but quickly regained consciousness again.
"Just letting you experience what it feels like," said Brendon with an evil grin while his voice still sounded groggy from sleepiness; not only did he have an attractive face but also his voice could make anyone melt halfway through their body!
Ranita blushed furiously as she pounded him hard out of annoyance, "You scared me!"
"What about me?" asked Brendon teasingly while raising an eyebrow mischievously; he looked bad but charming at same time, "Not only did you wake me up by scaring me off my bed!"
As he spoke those words, Brendon's eyes darkened while his voice lowered slowly, "I feel some pain in my shoulder... and legs..."
Knowing how much care Brendon needed when injured or sick made Ranita nervous immediately, "Did you get hurt? Where does it hurt? Let me take a look."
Brendon lay down obediently allowing Ranita examine him carefully since when he fell earlier, his shoulder hit against floor, causing redness around that area which must have been painful for sure...
Feeling guilty inside herself for causing this accident made Ranita even more attentive towards taking care of Brendon who always deserved nothing less than utmost love from her side!
"I'm sorry! Brendon... I didn't mean to." Ranita sighed. "Let me go get some ice for you."
Brendon pulled her back. "No need! I'll just lie down for a bit."
As he held her, his body temperature was still hot, even hotter than before. Ranita felt dizzy from the heat and her ears turned red like burning iron hidden in black hair.
She couldn't sleep with him holding her like this. Just as she was about to turn over, she heard his low voice in her ear, "Don't feel like sleeping? Let's find something to do?"
Brendon must have been really tired because towards the end of what he said all that remained were low breaths coming out of him.
Ranita grabbed hold of one of his fingers feeling somewhat sorry for him.
Initially, she thought that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep but soon enough drifted off again only waking up when Brendon wasn't beside anymore.
"Brendon?" murmured Ranita groggily only hearing an answer coming through from next door's small study room, "Hmm?"
Ranita was about to respond when an internal phone call came in, stating that there was a bouquet of flowers for her to sign for and asking if it was convenient.
A bit confused, Ranita realized it when the doorbell rang! Outside stood a hotel staff member with a beautiful bouquet of champagne roses for her.
Hugging them close, searching for a card, she wondered who could have sent them. It couldn't be Brendon, right?!
