Strings Attached (gxg)

CHAPTER 15: SOFT SIDE

"Nevermind" I said, dismissing what I was talking about.

"You're worried" She said, certain about what she thinks.

"N-no I'm not" I stuttered, opposing what she said even if it's true.

"If you're not worried, why are you still here?" She said and not ask in her deep sensual voice and it left me speechless for a sec but I recover to think of a reason.

"Well..." I tried talking my way out but if I say that she makes me a little nervous, she fucking does make me nervous.

"Well?" She ask still with that voice of her that I don't know the cause of, is it because she's sick or what.

"I feel guilty" I finally said something as a reason but I saw her left eyebrow raise so I think of an other way to reason out.

"Guilty? You stayed because you're guilty" Her voice gets lower almost like a breathe, I saw how she shift her eyes away from me and it made me more guilty.

"Okay then you can go now, whatever you're guilty about it's fine" She said while turning her back on me, I'm sitting there in guilt when she went silent.

"No, I'll stay" I said, eager to stay and look after her.

"You're just guilty, you should go because your guilt will melt by then" She said still have her back on me, her whole body is covered by a blanket.

"I was a bit worried that's wh-"

"Really?!" She ask cutting me off, she's now sitting and facing her whole body towards me.

"Yeah I'm a little worried but also guilty because I thought you're only acting earlier to get us out of trouble" I said admitting the truth out of guilt, It shock me how I gave in so easily.

"I see" She said with a little smile on her face.

I feel relieve after I saw how her expression got brighter and her tone is much higher. For some reason, I feel my body becomes light and calm.

Her two set of blue eyes are staring at me in anticipation, waiting for me to speak or do anything. I'm a bit shy after admitting what I felt so I'm also staring at her back without saying anything.

I feel awkward but she looks calm infront of me with her constant glance at me. After a while, she got bored and starts playing with her shiny and majestic long white-ashy hair. When my head becomes empty, I remember the advice the doctor told me so I stand up and grab the things I bought.

I saw how she gets curious and look inside the plastic bag I place on the bed. We got so close to each other that my nose can smell a familiar scent from her, she's wearing a Christian Dior Balade Sauvage.

It smell so familiar but I can't remember where I smell it, it smell and feels like ocean with vanilla and amberwood lingering from it. It smell so good that I can't control my head from getting closer to her head but I froze when I saw her look at me and I realize what I'm doing.

"Sorry, I- I bought you water and food because the doctor said that you'll be thirsty when you wake up" I said, avoiding her eyes by looking inside the plastic bag.

"The nurse told me to ask you what time it is and the date today" I added, putting the food and beverages on the bed table infront of her.

She rummage through the paper bag on the table, I also bought her some clothes to change into because I thought that she'll reek of sweats but she still smell good.

The campus clinic is quite big so the place have a bathroom in it, she needs to freshen up so the heat won't affect her that much. We're both quiet while she's looking at all the things I bought so it's the only noise heard in the room when suddenly the first thing she put up is the undergarments.

I look at her clueless when she looks at me with her eyes and mouth open, I don't understand what she's implying since we're both woman so there's nothing to be shy about unless she feels very personal with her underwear.

"I bought you clothes and undergarments so you can freshen up in the clinic's bathroom, though white t-shirt is the only thing available but good thing I have an extra pants in my locker." She was staring at me throughout my explanation so it made me a little nervous.

"You were scared when we're at the lockers area" She said, obviously stating a fact cause I went there alone to grab an extra pants for her.

"I am but it's fine" I badly want to end the topic about the lockers area but she's eager to know everything like a nosy detective.

She got tired asking with my short answers so she just ate her food and finished minutes before she went to the comfort room to wash up. Half of my body drops on the bed then a sigh of relief escape my mouth when she's already in it.

When I went upstairs to grab my pants at the lockers area, I didn't feel any fear because I can't deny that worry was consuming me. That's the second time I got so worried to someone, the first time is my sister, then she's the second which is shocking since we're not in good terms for quite a while.

However, my worry to my sister is different from hers and I don't know why I feel that it's different, I think because there's a guilty feeling in Sier-I meant Ursula. Feeling close Cally? Good terms lang kayo tas first name basis agad tawag mo sa kaniya, sinasanay na sarili kala mo naman close sila parang gago lang.

Calling her Sierra feels like we're close to each other so I should call her something other than Ursula, maybe I'll try calling her Quizon since we're gonna be working with the campaign soon. I already decided to agree on it earlier when I was waiting in the clinic but I won't tell her about it yet.

She has to prove that she's worthy of every responsibilities place upon her. I also plan on mentoring her about the ways of managing the campaign when I approve her as a co-manager of the UpperWomen Campaign in Aphellion University.

Close?
