"Do you no longer have classes? Is your class over?"
I wonder why he came here so early. And I also wonder why until now he still wearing a facemask. Doesn't he intend to remove that? Besides, maybe having a fever is not contagious, right? So why is he wearing a facemask?
"Ah, yeah. My class is over." He looked at me but looked away immediately.
"At this early?" I asked wondering.
"Y-yes," he whispered.
I looked away. "Okay. If you say so." I won’t force him if he really doesn’t want to tell the truth.
Even though I already know the answer. I still wish he would tell me that he ditched his class just to come here and take care of me. But just like what I said, I don't want to force him.
He stood up and went to the kitchen. My brows furrowed. I don't know what he will do there. Ah! Maybe... he will cook for our lunch? I guess. I just got up and followed him into the kitchen.
"What will you do?" I asked when I approached him.
"Hmm?" He hummed 
"Are you going to cook?" I went to his side so I could see what he was doing.
He nodded. "Yes." He stopped what he was doing then turned to me.
"What the-" 
I was shocked when he suddenly lifted me so I was clinging to his neck, but he did not move and he just stared at me. What is his problem? 
"P-put me down," I whispered. I looked away, feeling awkward. And also my heart started beating so damn fast. Why is my heart always like this?
"Okay," he took me to the island countertop and put me down there. Thanks god! 
"You cook, I'm just here and I'll watch you," I smiled at him.
"Close your eyes first." My brows furrowed because of what he said.
"Why?" 
"Just close your eyes." I rolled my eyes at him and took a deep breath before closed my eyes.
But I was also immediately startled when I felt his soft lips on my lips. God! I wanted to push him but I couldn't move. He also took my hand and placed it on both of his shoulders. 
What I'm going to do now?
But after a few seconds, I don't know why but I automatically closed my eyes and followed Luke's lips movements. I wrapped my arms around his neck to pulled him closer to me. And he also wrapped his left arm around my waist before our lips parted because we needed air. He was standing between my thighs. Oh my god!
Only now did I feel embarrassed. Why did I do that? I looked down while still closing my eyes. This is not healthy for us, especially for me. I swear.
He held my chin up, making me looked directly into his eyes. I swallowed hard as I looked at his brown eyes. He was already wearing a facemask now. Is he hiding something from me?
"I will just continue cooking, just stay here. Okay?" I nodded. "And just tell me if you need anything. Okay?" I nodded again. 
"Why did you kissed me? You may have a fever because of that." I looked at his eyes while pursing my lips.
"I just want to. And if that happens, I'm sure you will take care of me too, right?" He winked at me.
He was back to cooking, while I was at it and still thinking about what happened. But I ended up smiling. While sitting on the island counter, I just watched him how he cooked. I wonder why he didn't just take a culinary course, as far as I know it's related to cooking. He's good at cooking. But his course is fine. It's good, actually. Civil Engineering. 
How many women did he kiss? I admit, he is a good damn kisser. He's hot. He's handsome. He's tall. He's also mean sometimes but it's fine, I'm used to it.
"Do you have no plans to take off of your facemask?" I asked.
"I'm fine." I frowned. It's not the answer to my question.
"Are you hiding something from me, aren't you?" 
I heard him laugh a little. "Nothing. Why would I hide nonsense things from you." He turned to me and approached.
"Exactly! Then, why aren't you remove it?" I raised my brow at him.
"It's nothing. Don't think too much, you might get a headache later." I sighed and just nodded. I can feel his concern and that was also obvious in his voice. 
"I'll just sleep in the bedroom first. Just wake me up when you're done cooking and we're ready to eat. Ha?" I told him before I left the kitchen.
I went into my room and lay down on my bed. My head hurts a little. I closed my eyes and trying to sleep but I can't. I took my phone from the bedside table and tap the Instagram app. Then I scrolled and scrolled over and over again until I felt drowsiness and fell asleep.
I woke up around 2 pm. I got up and went straight to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Luke didn't even wake me up, I told him to wake me up. I sighed. I walk slowly because I felt dizzy. I need to take my medicine. About 9:30 I took the medicine earlier so I had to take it by 3:30. It should be 6 hours, right?
I went out and immediately looked for Luke but he was not there. Maybe he already left. I sighed before went into my room again. I sat down on my bed and took my phone from the bedside table to call one of luke's friends. It's Clayton.
"Hey Clayton."
["H-hey! Why did you call all of a sudden?"] He sounds nervous.
"Uhm, I just want to ask something about Luke."
["Okay! What it is, then?"]
"Tell me that he didn't ditch his class earlier, didn't he?" I looked out the window and saw the clear blue sky. It's pretty.
I heard him chuckled. ["Aha! Then I won't tell you."]
"He did," I whispered.
["Yes. He did! He ditched his class after our 3rd class. He didn't even say goodbye to us, he just left straight away and seemed to be in a hurry."]
I laughed a little. He sounds annoyed. "Really? Don't worry, I'll talk to him."
He was silent for a few seconds. ["What do you mean? He went there?"]
I nodded as if he could see. "Yes! And I need to end this conversation now. Bye."
["Yeah, right. It should have been earlier."] He laughed a little.
"Whatever." I ended the call and stood up and I also took my comforter and wrapped it around my body before left the room. 
I went into the kitchen but I suddenly stopped. I was shocked causing me to stepped back. I saw Luke sitting in the chair and holding a fork and looking badly at the plate in front of him. He still wore a facemask. Why is he like that? 
I approached and sat on the chair in front of him. "H-Hey! I thought you already left." I started eating.
"Why? Will you send someone else here when I leave?" 
I choked. I get the glass of water and drank it. "What nonsense are you talking about?" I laughed a little after I said that.
"Nothing. Just eat." He stood up and ready to leave but I stopped him.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
He looked at my hand that holding his arm before removing my grip. "It's none of your business." Then he walked away.
God! Why do I have to feel this? Why it seems like I was hurt by what he said? I took a deep breath before continued eating. I wonder, what did I do to him? I'm so kind to him but why is he like that to me now?
When I finished eating, I stood up and went to the sink to put my plates on it. I also took medicine. After that, I went to the living room and saw Luke there watching. I sat down next to him and faced him.
"Luke," I called him but he didn't answer so, I grabbed his sleeve, making him to look at me.
"Talk to me and tell me what's wrong with you," I almost whispered.
He sighed. "Who did you talk to earlier?" I raised my eyebrow.
"What? Where?" I asked wondering.
"In your room! Are you talking to someone, aren't you?" 
My eyes widened when I realize what it is he talking about. Oh! Now I realized. Why is it that I just now realized. I called Clayton earlier. Maybe, he was referring to Clayton. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his.
"It's just Clayton who wasnI talking to-" I stopped speaking because he suddenly spoke.
"What? Why are you talking to him?" He asked.
"I was just making sure if you really ditched your... class?" I asked for an answer.
"Why him? Why don't you ask me, instead? I am with you. I take care of you. But why do you have to ask him?" 
I'm starting to get annoyed. If he can demand like that, he will be like my boyfriend. Why does he have to be mad? I wanted to shout at him, I wanted to argue with him, but I couldn't take my energy anymore. My head was starting to hurt as if it was being torn apart. I don't know why he is like that. Napayuko na lang ako.
He held my chin, making me to look up at him. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
"Are you jealous?" I asked him straight. He didn't seem surprised because of what I asked. He stood up.
"Yes! I'm fvcking jealous." My eyes widened. Why is he jealous? Isn't it ... Oh my god!
"And do you know why I am jealous? Huh?" I shook my head slowly. He approached me. And he also placed both of his arms on my side and move his face closer to me.
"Because I like you. I like you so damn much," he said in front of my face. My heart is beating so fast. Oh my god!
I don’t know what I should feel. There is a part of me that wants to be happy but there is also a part that I am afraid of. Is this what I'm saying. From the beginning, I didn't feel good about what he was showing.
I was surprised when he suddenly left in front of me and came out of the condo. I think, he felt embarrased because of his confession. It’s not so easy to admit to someone that you like him/her.
"We're home!" I stood up when my friends suddenly entered a few minutes ago since Luke had left.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting?" Alice asked. I just smirked at her.
"I'm fine. It will just take a little sleep then maybe tomorrow I'll be able to go in school as well." I smiled at them.
"Blaire? I'm sorry if I called Luke." Claire approached me and put her arm around my neck.
I chuckled. "It's fine. He just left the school after his 3rd class to come here and take care of me" I said sarcastically.
"That's why I am saying sorry now. Besides, we bumped into him on the ground floor, but he just ignored us. Did you guys fight?" 
I sighed and shook my head a little "He just confessed his feelings for me earlier the-"
"WHAT!" They said all at once.
"Y-yeah. Then, I could not answer immediately. Well of course, I'm shocked as hell. I didn't expect it." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. 
"You like him too, right?" Anne asked as she sat down next to me.
I looked at her. "You know the answer," I replied.
"Oh, come on, Blaire! You will never know if you don't try. You don't know, he may be the one who was really destined for you." Lev said as she shrugged.
I just shook my head before stood up and went into the room.
I don’t know what to answer to what they say. I don’t want to take over my heart and my mind, they both have to reconcile first before I do things I know I won’t regret in the end.
I'll just sleep. Maybe when I wake up I already know what to say to them, especially to Luke. I looked at my wrist watch and saw that it was 4pm. Why seems like the time is so fast?
I woke up because of the loud noise from my phone. I took it and was annoyed to see that it was just an alarm. Oh, I alarmed it earlier. I saw my friends lying, I mean sleeping on the floor but there's a foam so they couldn't get cold.
I smiled for some reason, they really let me sleep alone here on the bed. They chose to sleep on the floor than here on my side. The bed was big and could fit the seven of us.
I got up and went out of the room. I looked at the balcony and it was dark. And I was about to go to the kitchen but something caught my attention on the sofa, as if someone was lying or maybe sleeping? I guess. I approached and saw Luke asleep.
I thought he already left? And why he still wearing a facemask? I slowly sat down next to him and slowly I also caressed his face.
Until I touched his facemask. I slowly removed it from his ear. And my eyes widened when I saw a bruise on the side of his lips, there was also on the other side. Damn!
"Shit!" He immediately returned the facemask before looking at me.
"Take that off. I've seen it already,"I said calmly.
"I'm sorry."
I stood up and took the first aid kit to treat his bruise. "Where did that come from? Don't lie to me."
He sighed. "To the boyfriends of women always approaching me. They said, I was flirting with their girlfriends which is not true. They're so immature." He sounds so annoyed.
"Why don't you just avoid it?" 
"I always avoid them." He stared at me for a moment. "You know, there is a solution to my problem."
I raised my eyebrow at him. Why do I seem suddenly nervous about that solution he was taking about? I looked at him, directly into his eyes.
"Then what is it?" I asked bravely. "Just make sure it makes sense, Luke."
The side of his lips rose. He slowly move closer to my face. "Be my girlfriend. That's easy."
