CHAPTER 11

—

When I heard a knock I immediately walk to open the door and when I open it I saw Wyatt's frowning as he look at me, he looks irritated.

"What the hell are you doing inside?" he asked with his brow furrowed.

I rolled my eyes on him and walk outside the door so Saweas won't be disturbed.

"I just checked him, he's still burning," I said.

He's following me to the kitchen, "You should have wait for me, it's doesn't sit well on me seeing you inside his room—"

"Shut up, Wyatt, you're being too conservative," I muttered.

"Tss.. you stayed here the whole time together?" he asked suspiciously.

His eyes are looking at me as if I did something lawfully and illegal. I sighed heavily and nod at him.

"What did you two do—"

"Wyatt.. I know what you're thinking, stop that, I know that look," I murmured.

He clenched his jaw, "You look comfortable at him, do you like him?" he asked coldly.

I stared at him, what is he up to? Is he interrogating me?

"What's with that question, Wyatt?" I asked.

He put the medicine in the table, I didn't notice that maybe I'm very occupied in what were talking about.

He look away and didn't answer, like usual.

"Can you cook him a soup? It's already quarter to eight he needs to eat," I said naturally but I saw how he stilled.

He bit his lips as if he's stopping himself to say something. I just shrugged it off.

"Yeah," he said plainly. He looks so serious as he moves.

He's preparing the equipment and ingredients and I'm just watching him, Saweas and Wyatt are both hot especially in the kitchen, they move super natural.

But.. I found Wyatt more hotter and I don't know why.

I link my lips to stop my wild thoughts.

"Saweas is good at cooking too," I said just to open a topic because it's too quiet. He glanced at me and I saw his eyes darkened.

What?

"I didn't ask," he rudely said.

What the hell is his problem? He's being too grumpy, tss.

"I'm just saying it to open a topic, Wyatt," I said calmly.

I sighed heavily, we always argue and the day won't end without us not arguing and it making me upset. We're always fighting.

"So you want to talk about him," he said as he stop and look at me.

"Wyatt, what's your problem?" I can't read him, sometime he's okay and sweet but almost of the time he's in the bad mood, he's too moody.

He took a glimpse at me before he continues what he doing, I smiled when I saw how serious he is. He looks like a chef.

"Do you watch him cook like what you're doing right now," he said coldly.

I raised my brow, "He didn't cook so I couldn't watch him," I said.

"So you have a plan, huh," he said mockingly but it's not in a joke way because he's too serious.

"If there's a chance.. why not," I said.

I don't want to make it big deal maybe that's the way he joke, if it's possible.

He didn't answer but I can see frustration on his eyes.

I just watched him until he's done, "Can I taste it?" I asked.

He nod at me but he didn't bother looking at me, I pouted, tss.

When I finally tasted it I was amazed, it's so delicious!

"It's good!" I said in a jolly way but he just nod.

What the hell is his problem? Tsk.

I insist to prepare because that's the only thing I can do, he's sitting and he look so hot with his grumpy face. He's not looking at me so I had a chance to stare at him.

I smiled a little when his brow furrowed as if he's thinking so deeply.

I put the bowl in front of him and mine also, but before that I will feed Saweas first and make him drink the medicine.

I put the other bowl in the tray and the medicine, I'm already ready to take off when Wyatt stop me.

"Where are you going?" he asked with his forehead wrinkle, I frowned at him, isn't it obvious that I would go in Saweas room?

"You're really asking that, Wyatt? Of course I'll make Saweas eat first, he's ill," I said.

He sighed in frustration and I don't even know why.

He stood up and drop his spoon, "I'll go with you," he said darkly.

He's thinking something that's why he' acting like this, right?

"Wyatt, you don't need—"

"I insist," he's trying to hide his irritation but it's still escaping in his lips.

I exhaled and nod at him, "Do whatever you please," I said.

He's following me as we went to Saweas' room, I saw him still sleeping like a baby so I chuckled but I heard Wyatt's groaned.

I give the tray to Wyatt so I can wake Saweas up, I sat on his side.

I tap his cheeks lightly, "Saweas, wake up, you have to eat," I mumbled.

He frowned like a baby, I chortled, he looks so adorable.

"Saweas, wake up," I said.

He move a little, I saw a smile crept in his smile and he held my hand and put it on his lips.

Wyatt groaned loudly and that made Saweas open his eyes, when he saw Wyatt he immediately get up.

"What are you doing here?" Saweas said with his voice filled with annoyance.

"This is not yours—"

"Wyatt," I called to rebuke him, he bit his lips as he stared at me with disappointment.

I turn to Saweas, "Qen, he's the one who cook, he also bought a medicine," I said while showing the food and medicine to him together with my gummy bear smile.

I stared at me fighting the urge to smile but he failed, "Tss.. you're using that smile at me," he said trying to frown but he couldn't.

I laughed at him and sat as I get the tray on Wyatt whose looking so mad right now as he look at him.

"We can talk later," I whispered at him but he walked out.

I sighed heavily as I watched him leave.

"Tss.." I heard Saweas.

I glared at him, "Be thankful that you're sick cause if you're not, I would be scolding you right now," I told him.

He smirked, "I should be always sick so you won't scold me," he said like a kid.

"Tss.. you have to eat to boost your immune system and drink medicine," I said.

I feed him and he's smiling like an i***t, "Stop that smile, Qen, it's weird," I said.

He grin at me more, "You're good at this," he said while looking at me.

"Good at what?"

"Good at taking care of someone," he said.

I rolled my eyes on him, "Stop talking nonsense and be a man already," I said.

He pouted at me, "I'll be your baby," he said.

I chuckled at him, "You're really like a baby, Qen," I muttered.

"You like calling me Qen, huh," he said mockingly.

I sighed at him as he finished the food, "You're being playful again, I think you're already fine," his eyes widened and act like a weak but he failed.

I laughed at him, "You're not good at it, stop it," he laughed too.

I get his medicine and water so he can drink it, I hope he'll heal fast.

"Drink this," I said but he frowned.

"I don't like antibiotics," he said.

I raised my brow to him strictly, "I didn't ask if you like it or not, I said drink this,"

He pouted but I just look at him coldly, he sighed be he drink it.

His face crumbled as he drink it, I chuckled at him, "It taste so bad," he exclaimed.

"But it will make you feel better," I said.

He gave the glass and look at me, "Where will he sleep?" he asked.

My eyes widened, I didn't think about that yet.

"We'll talk about that," I said but he looks at me with disapproval on his face.

"Don't tell me you'll make him sleep beside me," he said with disgust on his face, I chuckled.

"You just gave me an idea," I said while laughing, he looks horrible by just thinking about it.

"That sucks," he said.

I just shrugged and get the towel on his bed, it fell when he sat up, "Don't worry about that, just rest and make sure to regain your strength," I told him before I fix his blanket.

He's just staring at me, "Do you want to watch? I'll open the television for you," I asked.

He smiled at me and held my hand, he pulled me to sat again on his side, "What?" I asked.

He went closer to me and kissed my forehead, "Thank you," he said sincerely.

I smiled at him, "Tss.. you have to be better first before you can thank me," I said.

He rolled his eyes to me playfully, "I'll be fine, I'll just rest more," he said.

"Yup, so now rest," I said.

He nods and let me go as he lie down, I put two pillow on his head so he can watch, "Just watch a movie so you'll get sleepy," I said.

I open the television and give him the remote so he can switch the channel if he want.

"I'll eat, call me if you need something," I muttered.

"Yes, ma'am," he said and wink at me.

I laughed and went outside with the tray and towel, my eyes widened when I saw Wyatt leaning on the wall beside the door.

"You're just leaning there the whole time?" I asked.

He just nod and get the tray on my hand, I followed him to the kitchen.

I look at the soup and it's already cold, I sighed and put the towel on the stainless container bowl.

He sat already and so I did. "I thought you already ate," I said.

He didn't answer and just continue eating without minding me. I just shrugged.

I finished eating and didn't bother opening a new topic cause he wouldn't cooperate and just treating me like sort of air.

I stood up and put the plate on the sink, I put boiled water on the stainless container where I put the towel a while ago, I mixed it with cold water so I could make it warm.

When I finally did it, I squeezed it and plan to go in Saweas room so I can put it on his forehead to make sure he will get better.

I sighed heavily as I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, I just shrugged it off.

I caught him watching me but he immediately look away as I look at him.

I head out but before I can do it Wyatt spoke, "You'll go in his room again," he stated.

I turns at him, "Obviously," I said coldly. I walked towards Saweas room.

I knock three times, "Come in!" I heard Saweas said.

I went in, his eyes went to the towel I was holding then he grin.

"Stop that grin, Qen," I sat on his side and put the towel on his forehead.

"Don't remove that," I said.

He nods at me, I turn to the television, "You're watching a movie, what it is? Is that Fast and Furious?" I asked, I think he paused that when I went it.

"Fast and Furious," he clarified.

I grin widely, "That's my favorite!" I exclaimed.

He chuckled, "Really? Then we're the same," he said.

My smile fade when I remember what happened to Paul Walker, "What's with that face, Ceanna?" he asked.

I pouted, "My baby died," I said while frowning.

His brow furrowed, "Your baby?" he asked confusedly.

I nod multiple times, "Paul Walker," I said.

He shook his head, "I thought.. never mind, he's my idol too," he said sadly.

"Tss.. let's not talk about him," I said while pouting.

He chuckled, "We have a lots of common, huh, I never expect you're watching this kind of movie," he said.

"Judgemental," I stated so he chortled.

"After that you need to rest, I'll just wash the dishes," I told him and stood up.

He groaned, "You don't need to do that, I'll just call some stuff to do that tomorrow," he said.

I glared at him, "No. I can do that, Saweas. Just rest," I said with finality so he wouldn't argue anymore.

He sighed defeatedly, I just beamed at him widely and tap his shoulder, "Rest, okay?" I said, he nod at me.

I went outside wand head to the kitchen to wash the plates when I saw Wyatt still sitting on the same spot a while ago. His bowl wasn't there anymore so he already put it in the sink.

I know he felt my presence but still he didn't speak nor say anything.

I walked to the sink and wash the dishes, when I'm done he's still there. I sighed heavily.

"Wyatt," I called him.

He look at me but I can read what he was thinking, he looks so distant and cold. He looks at me as if he's waiting for me to say something but I just shrugged.

"Nothing," I muttered.

He stood up and went outside, I bit my lips in so much frustration, why is he acting like that? He's being so quiet, should I be happy? at least we're not arguing right?

I sat on the chair where I was sitting when we were eating, I massaged my temple. It's stressing me out. Should I let him be alone? But where I would go? Should I stay in Saweas for a moment so he can think peacefully?

I think I'm disturbing him.

I stayed at the kitchen for a minute before I finally decided to go out, I saw him in the living room, he' sitting in couch, our eyes met but he quickly look away.

I felt my heartache for what he did but I just ignored it, I walked to Saweas room when Wyatt's voice boomed in the living room, I jumped a little as I was shock in his sudden words.

"Where are you going," he said with his dangereously low voice.

I bit my lips as I turn to him, the whole living room is quiet because the television isn't open.

I link my lips and exhaled, "I'll just go in Saweas room, he's watching—"

"You can watch here," he said with his cold voice and furrowed brow.

I stared at him but I really just can't understand him. He's making feel like he doesn't want to be with me then he'll tell me to stay with him even tho it's not directly.

He's very confusing.

"But you're avoiding me and you look like you don't want my presence," I directly said to him.

He linked his lips in very a frustrated way, he looks at me, "Come here," he mumbled.

I sighed but I just followed him. I walked towards the couch until I'm just standing in front of him.

"What is it? Do you have a problem? Are you mad or something?" I asked worriedly.

He bit his lips, "You look comfortable at him," he muttered with his cold voice.

I smiled at him, "We're sharing the same vibes so we really get along and besides.. he's naughty," I stated.

His face went blank, "Okay," he said while gritting his teeth and avoided my gaze.

I sighed as the silence consumed the place, I shrugged, I think we will never get along cause he's too quiet, serious and stiff.

I smiled bitterly with that thoughts. I really want someone whom I can laugh with but it seems that it's impossible for us.

When minutes passed and he still didn't talk, I decided to just go in Saweas' room and watch my favorite movie instead of staying here with this awkward silence.

I turn my back on him and started to walk away but before I can go he snaked his arms around my waist stopping me from leaving, I heard his frowned.

If someone sees us they'll think that we're a couple cause he's hugging from the back.

"Stay," he whispered to my ear, I bit my lips as my heart beats fast.

What the hell is happening to me? He just asked me to stay and nothing more but why do I feel like my heart will explode.

I swallowed hard as I felt my breathing stop.

"Do you want to say anything?" I whispered.

I am afraid he would hear my heartbeat, it's too loud.

"Do you like him?" He asked as we stayed in that kind of position.

My lips twisted in anticipation, "W-Who?" I asked.

I heard him tsked, "Is there anyone else that you're being close to," he said coldly.

I sighed, "Saweas?" I asked to confirm it.

I felt his heavy breathing as I mention Saweas name in him. He's acting weird.

"Why did you asked?" I fired back the question to him. I don't know what's happening to me but I felt so at ease with him, I felt so comfortable. My heart felt home, he's hugging me and I'm liking every second of it.

I waited for him to say something but he just sighed and hugged me more tightly, I leaned on him and held his hands whose resting on my stomach.

The tranquility of the place felt so surreal, the silence became so understandable with the both us. It feels like we doesn't need any words anymore, just to treasure this moments.

He buried his face on the crook of my neck and shoulder, I swallowed hard as it felt so intimate to me. His nose caressed my shoulder, I closed eyes as I felt him sniff my neck.

"I'm asking you if you like him," he said, demanding for an answer.

I slowly open my eyes and glance at him, he looks so hot when he's serious.

"Yes.." I bit my lips. As a friend.

I felt him stilled, "Wyatt," I said.

He closed his eyes tightly and clenched his jaw, I felt his grip loosen so I took that as an oppurtunity to turn around and faced him, I was shocked when he imediately held my waist as if he thought I'm leaving.

My face soften as I saw his vulnerable eyes, I caressed his cheeks but he held it and put it down, my lips parted when he pulled me to him and embrace me tightly.

"If you do like him then why I do feel like your aching for my touch," he whispered.

I bit my lips, "What are you doing this, Wyatt?" I asked bitterly.

Is this about his pride? I felt my heart hitch as I think that way. I don't want to think that way but it's keep on running in my head and I can't stop it.

"Is this for your ego? You don't need to prove anything to Saweas.. you already had Vaeren.. the woman he loved the most," I muttered as I look into his eyes.

His eyes are very intense, "This is not about them—"

"Then what? Why are you doing this?"

He avoided my gaze, I chortled sarcastically, what do I expect, right?

"You wouldn't answer me, again, don't you?" No matter how I hide the bitterness it's escaping in my lips naturally.

"You wouldn't understand," he mumbled.

"Then make me understand," I said but he shook his head and I already what it means.

I sighed sharply, "Then don't expect me to understand because you're not doing anything to make me decipher it," I murmured.

His eyes darkened, "I like you," he said.

I beamed at him, "And do you expect me to believe that? I'm not a fool to rely on your empty words," I whispered as pain crept into my heart.

How can he say he like me just to save himself? Just to stop me from interfering?

"Anica—"

"Wyatt.. you're being too much, don't be like this," I told him while staring directly in his eyes.

I beamed at him, "Did Vaeren asked you to do this?" I asked.

"If she did then stop, if you love her then you have to stop her ridiculous—"

"This is not about them," he emphatically said.

"Then, this is about whom, Wyatt?" I gritted my teeth.

"I like yo—"

"Damn you!" I yelled on him. "Don't use that card on me cause I would not fall in your f*****g trap," I said angrily.

How dare him! He think can fool that easily? Huh.

"Don't make me a fool—"

"You're not stupid and I know that, Anica." he said seriously.

I glared at him sharply, "You know what? This is a pure bullshit—"

"I confessed to you and you're saying this is all bullshit," he tightened his jaw as his eyes looks darkly at me.

I bit my tongue and recover myself, "You like me?" I said horribly.

"While you love her? That's s**t," I smirked at him.

His eyes sharpened, "I don't love her," he said plainly.

I stared at him ridiculously, "Then what? Your actions are opposing your words, Wyatt! The way you care for her, the way you held—"

"Because you're putting malice on it," he said boredly.

"Everyone can notice that! You're too obvious—"

"What did I do then?" he asked.

I furrowed my brow at him, "As if you don't know—"

"Tell me," he said and bit his lips playfully.

He sat on the couch and pulled my hand closer, like a while ago, I'm standing in front him.

"So you want me to elavorate it," I sarcastically said.

And why the hell is smirking, he's making fun of me. He's really a moody, he can be mad and after a second he'll snortled, this jerk.

"She's my friend—"

"Friend my ass," I muttered.

"Do you think you can make believe that?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "I'm not asking you to believe but I'm telling the truth," he said and shrugged.

I rolled my eyes, "Then why can't you tell the reason why you slept—"

"Because I have reasons—"

"Excuses, excuses, a lot of excuses, Wyatt,"

"I don't have the right to say those thing, a know a lot of things that need to be kept and I don't have the rights to tell it," he said while looking at me.

I smirked at him, "I just want to know why you slept there, Wyatt, you're splitting nonsense—"

"Try to understand me, Anica," he said using his authoritative voice.

"How? If you're not making me understand you?" I asked.

He bit his lips, "I slept there because she needs me," he said.

I smiled, "And you're telling me you don't love—"

"I care for her because she's my friend—"

"Friend don't kiss, Wyatt," I said emphatically.

His brow furrowed, "We didn't kiss—"

"Really, how can I be sure?" I asked mockingly, "Saweas caught you and Vaeren before so how can I believe you,"

I saw him stiffed, he didn't expect me to know that thing? Sadly.. I already knew it.

"You look shocked, Wyatt," I said while smirking at him.

"You don't understand—"

"What again? I understand it very well, kissing under the tree sounds romantic, huh," I said as I saw how his eyes fired.

He's now mad.

"We never had relation—"

"Then friend with benefits, is that possible, right?" I said.

He clenched his jaw and held my waist to pull closer, I'm standing in between of his legs.

"Stop that, let's drop this—"

"That's my line, Wyatt."

He sighed heavily, "She's important to me but it doesn't mean I love her romantically," he explained.

I bit my lips to suppress the bitterness, "So.. you lust over her then," I muttered.

He cussed and look at me intently, "Stop that, Anica." he said to warned me.

But I can't feel anything.. I don't know what I feel anymore.

"Let me go," I said but he didn't oblique.

He never obey me so what's new. I groaned at him.

"I won't," he said.

I swallowed hardly as I remember what happened in the afternoon, I thought he would never let me go but.. he did.

And it's because of Vaeren, just one call of his name.. he would immediately follow her.

I smiled bitterly at him, "You already did," I mumbled.

When he grip tightened on my waist I already knew he knows what I'm talking about.

"She needs me, you saw it.. she felt so weak," he explained, he's trying to convince me but I couldn't comprehend it. He's just making excuses.

I just nod and smiled, "If that's what you say so," I said calmly.

I held his hand that's holding my waist, we're looking at each other while trying to remove his hand on my waist, I successfully did, he just let me.

When he finally let me go I step backward.. he keeps saying that he would never let me go but in the end.. he's doing the opposite things of his word.

He's just watching me intently, "Are we done already?" I asked.

We didn't break our eye contact, "Do you still want to talk—"

"No," I said, "You wouldn't answer it anyway so there's no use," I said.

He sighed sharply and tried to hold me but I didn't let him.

His chest moves up and down as he saw what I did, I saw his jaw tightened even more.

"You're already done, right?" I asked, not wanting to be rude.

"Anica—"

"Then I can go now," I said but I saw how his eyes glint anger.

I smiled at him, "You can open the television if you get bored, I think you already this penthouse so you won't need me to—"

"You're not—"

"You don't need anything cause you're not..'ill'," I said emphasizing the word.

I turn around and walked to Saweas room but before I can go Wyatt's hand pulled me strongly.

"Damn it," I yelled.

I bumped in his chest, "What the hell is your probl—"

I stopped when I saw how dangerous he is right now, he looks like he would explode, his vein were showing and his eyes darkened.

"Stop making me jealous—"

"I'm not," I said.

"You wouldn't like so much when I'm mad—"

"I'm not doing anything to make you mad!" I shouted with so much frustration.

"You're going in his room and what, huh," he said sarcastically.

My forehead wrinkle, "You're a dirty minded person—"

"Don't act as if you're not—"

"f**k you," I said as I closed my fist.

His grip in my tightened, "Don't cuss," he said frigidly.

"Let me go," I muttered.

His grip tightened on my arms, "Why don't you stay here—"

"Isn't it obvious? We doesn't share the same vibes and we don't get along and I think we will never be!"

His forehead wrinkle, "We don't need to have that same vibes—"

"Then I would never be happy in your companion," I said directly.

He linked his lips, "Don't say that," he said in so much frustration.

"You don't tell me what to do,"

"What do you want me to do—"

"I'm asking you to do nothing cause in the first place.. we never like each other," I mumbled.

"Anica—"

"I like Saweas and you're getting into my way," I said bluntly.

He closed his fist, "You're saying that to make me—"

"Jealous? What for? Did you see the difference when I'm with him—"

"Go," he said coldly, as he let go of my arm, his face is blank.

I was shocked in his sudden decision but I just smirked to hide the pain.

I turn around and walked.. away from him.
