Keifer's pov:
Pulling her into the room was possibly the best thing I did.
Honestly....I was tired after spending with contracts the whole night. I was totally drained.
Jay yelled when I pulled her.
"What the hell Watson?" She snarled.
I chuckled silently.
She stopped for a second. Expression still angry but a little calmer.
She looked cute when she was angry.
"You look beautiful in this uniform of your school, Better than our school" I murmured into her ear.
Finally leaning my forehead into her shoulder. Her shoulder stiffened.
She tried to push me away. But eventually he stopped.
"Keifer.....your burning" She said quietly.
"Oh...." I mumbled
I didn't realise that I had fever. Explains why I was tired this much.
"Keifer...I'll take you to the dorm."
I immediately stepped back.
"No" My eyes widened.
I didn't want to be separated.
I just needed her beside me.
I needed my home. Her. MY WARMTH. MY SAFE PLACE.
"Keif-" She tried to protest.
I didn't let her.
"I want to come to your house!" I really needed her at the moment.
She sighed.
"Jare will kill me!" She hissed.
*********************************
Jay's pov:
Ok! he's being clingy just like Savannah.
He didn't let me protest.
He demanded.
How much ever I wanted to let him.....What about the boundaries?
What if he thinks I forgave him?
He moved closer leaning against me. Burying his face to crook of my neck. His breath was warm. Hot. My stomach curled.
"F-Fine" I stammered.
He walked backwards smiling. Pulling out his phone texting fast.
After texting he shoved it back into his pocket.
"Thanks..." He whispered. tired. It was visible in his eyes.
He walked closer. One step.
I instinctively took a step back until my back touched the wall.
He stopped. But there was still space between us.
"Don't worry....I know, you asked for space. And....I respect that. I won't do anything without permission...Just let me sleep beside you that's all."
My eyes widened.
I didn't know sleeping beside each other was called distance!
Jay reject him!
REJECT HIM!
"Ok!" I blurted out.
Oh no!?
What the hell did you just say?
You were suppose to say no Jay-jay.
But somehow...I couldn't say it.
Not to him.
Never to him.
*At Mariano mansion*
When I finally stopped my car hoping to yell at him. I stopped when I turned. He was sleeping peacefully after mentally corrupting my brain with illegal thoughts of him.
Ok! I'm offended.
Deeply.
I'm suing him mentally for destroying me!!!
I traced his face slowly, my thoughts betraying me...He looked more handsome in his sleep than his true annoying self when awake.
My hands moved slowly tracing his sleepy face....
Jay what are you doing!?
My breath hitched when I was realising what I was doing, I pulled my hand back quick and gently called out his name to wake up.
I mean who can have the guts to yell at a man who was already running on a fever.
Especially when he's yours.
I still haven't forgiven him. But this is different.
"Keifer..."
No response.
"Keifer."
No response again.
"Keifer." This time a little louder.
He hummed in response as he opened his eyes tired.
I sighed slowly getting out of my car helping him stand.
Balancing 70% of his weight onto me.
******************************
Jare's pov:
I wasn't supposed to be awake this late. But I was more worried because Jay still hasn't come home. That's when I saw her. someone beside her, none other than him.
Keifer Watson.
She wasn't supposed to bring him here.
What if the old hags see this? What if they do what they did to Kuya Jax.
My eyes followed her every step as she silently took him to her room.
"Please don't let the history repeat Jay...." I whispered to myself and went back to my room.
At least, Relief washing over me that she was safe. Being an assassin comes with a cost after all.
********************************
Jay's pov:
I laid him onto the bed. I tried to move away when I was pulled back weakly. Not enough for me to fall. But enough for me to stop walking.
"Please stay." He whispered.
I sat beside him. Letting him ease as I watched him close his eyes off. I smiled softly.
I went out grabbing a towel and a water. I let the towel rest on his fever head.
"Sorry Jay...." He whispered softly even though he was sleeping.....
I slowly ruffled his hair.
"Why do you make me cry for you keifer?" I asked him even though knowing he was asleep.
My phone rang.
CALLER ID: ARTHUR
I picked it up.
"Speak" I commanded.
"Pres...I'm at bar with Savannah...She's drunk. I want to accompany her to her home. But I don't think it's a good idea as her mother doesn't know about me...so can you....." He hesitated.
I sighed.
First a fever mess.
Now, a drunk mess.
"Ok..."
"Seriously though Pres, One day I might kill you for stealing my gf"
"I'm not the one clinging to her!" I shot back.
He groaned muttering "whatever"
I stood up and looked back at keifer.
"You better not roam around this mansion it's dangerous." I hissed silently at the sleepy him.
The TV room was not supposed to be open but Jare was present playing with.....
Eliot.
Video games. Typical Jare.
"Where are you going this late?" Jare asked.
"Savannah." One word. simple reply.
He nodded.
"You won't turn into lesbian right?" He asked me!!!!
Catching me off guard.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" I snarled at him. I shrugged.
"Call me if smth" He told me.
I nodded simply before leaving.
*At bar*
This was our usual bar. We come often.
I spotted them.
Savannah sitting and leaning against Arthur's chest.
I slowly walked up to them.
"Thanks" Arthur said.
He slowly kissed her before leaving her.
Can you keep your couple stuff somewhere else. I cried mentally. I feel like a third wheel.
"Take care of her please." Arthur whispered silently.
I nodded.
He left.
apparently, taking care of the 'drunk her' was better than the clingy her. But i still like her original self.
Her house wasn't big but enough for family of 4. Even though it's only Savannah and her mom living in this house.
Savannah was awake but never spoke a word.
I finally laid her on the bed while she opened her mouth closed it.
Opened. closed.
And I watched her.
"How did you get so drunk?" I asked her worried.
Looking for clothes for her to change.
"I don't know it's probably because I haven't eaten anything all day." She replied. Her voice sounding rough.
Yes. I did notice that she did not eat properly today. She was....off.
"What? Why?" I asked, still looking for something.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Her mother barged into her room yelling at her.
The sound was so high that I froze. My heart giving a strong thud of fear.
You know! that's what they call no matter how powerful you are....you will always still be scared of your parents.
"Excellent question Nancy!" Savannah replied rolling slight left and right on her bed. Drunk.
Nancy.
Her mom.
"This is unacceptable!" Her mother fists clenched. Anger visible on her face while I watched them argue not knowing whether it was right to step in or not.
Savannah got up from her bed scoffing.
"Oh please! you are probably more drunk than I am right now!" She swayed slightly.
I slowly lifted my foot the placed it back on the floor.
Savannah continued her words.
"YOUR A MESS!" She exclaimed her face making an tight, hard, unreadable expression.
"Dad left, and you just like fell apart. You crumbled into million pieces, and it wasn't fair! I missed you. I really needed you, and I really miss dad!" She cried. Letting out a sob once.
Her mother's eyes formed tears but she did not let it fall.
"You did not care about me at all since childhood! Dad was the only one and now? He left. You, I really needed you and you became like PATHETIC" She yelled the word 'pathetic' so loud that I winced.
Her mother moved eyes- slight tear.
"Don't you talk to me like that, Savannah. I am your mother!" Her mother yelled.
Savannah scanned her mother head to toe.
"Yeah well, you don't act like it." Savannah added quietly playing with her short dress ribbon.
Her mother looked at her heart broken as she walked away from Savannah's room.
I looked at her mother and Savannah who was sobbing a little harder.
I moved pulling her into a gentle, firm hug. Stroking her hair backward.
