What the heart wants

47

" You are such a huge idiot." Aria scolded as she placed the lukewarm towel on Jared's forehead.
" It was clearly going to rain and yet you went."

" You wanted spicy grilled chicken." He replied hoarsely.

" I could have lived without it. Look at you!, You have a fever."

" I'm sorry." He offered weakly.

She sighed as she cleaned the sweat that had formed on his upper left brow.

" How are you feeling now?" 

" Slightly better."

" Yeah, your temperature is already dropping. Get some sleep okay?, I'll go make you some soup." She kissed his forehead before walking out of the room.

" Hey," Aria whispered beside him as she changed the cold towel for a slightly warm one.

" Hmmm" He mumbled as he stirred awake.

" I brought you hot soup." She said as she helped him sit up.
" It's chicken peppersoup; it's very spicy but it'll help with the cold."

" Okay."

" Open up." She said as she held the spoon in front of his mouth. He did as he was instructed and opened widely. He fell into a coughing fit earning a gentle pat on the back from her.

" Sorry." She apologized as she passed him a glass of water.
" You have to finish this bowl."

He groaned loudly but took the next spoon with little resistance.

" How does it taste?"

" Like fire." He replied.
" It's good but really spicy."

" It isn't that spicy." She retorted smiling earning a blank look from Jared.

" Oh right! Your heat tolerance rivals the heat in hell." He retorted as he wiped the perspiration on his face with a tissue.

" But it made you breathe better." She countered. He took in a deep breath and paused.

" It…it actually helped."

Aria threw him a smug smile in return.

" I'll leave you to rest now-"

" No!" He protested weakly.
" Stay with me."

" You need to rest." 

" I'll rest better if you're here with me." He admitted. 

" Okay." She sighed giving in. She got into bed with him. He shuffled around till his head was lying on her breasts and snuggled into her.
" Jared."

" Hmmm?"

" What are you doing?"

" What does it look like I'm doing?, I'm getting comfortable."

" On my boobs?"

" Your boobs are so comfortable." He purred flicking a nipple through her light shirt.

" Jared, behave." She warned with a slight moan.

" Yes ma'am."
" Can we watch a movie or something?"

" Of course, what would you like to watch?"

" Anything is fine by me."

" Okay."

She turned on the TV and flipped through several channels before she finally settled on a rom-com. She began stroking his hair and massaging his scalp lazily. He purred at the gesture and nuzzled himself further into her soft body.

" I'm sorry for ruining your day." He mumbled about her.

" You didn't ruin my day, it was awesome. I got to spend time with you and that's all that matters."

" I don't deserve you." He breathed as he stared into her light eyes.

" You deserve me just as much as I deserve you, Jared." She replied kissing his lips lightly.
