Please Not You!

Chapter 14: One Mistake

"She's not my girlfriend. She's my wife. I will make sure she doesn't go to school for the next few days till she's much better.", I smiled to the doctor and thanked her.

I immediately left from there and went into the ward. I can't believe that my words could get someone so ill. I had already informed mum and dad and they were coming soon.

I sat next to Nina, waiting for her to wake up. After some time, I could see Nina moving about and her eyes opened slowly. She was about to wake up when I stopped her.

"Nope! You are not allowed to wake up! Rest!", I instructed her. She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"What am I doing here?", she asked me.

I pushed the lose strains away from her face behind her ears.

"Nina, you're not feeling well. The doctor told you to rest and you can't go to school till your fever subsidies. Once mum and dad come here with your clothes, we will leave. For now just rest.".

"Why are you calling me Nina? I thought you like calling me Pluto?", she asked.

"It's no time to joke Nina. Just rest. We will talk about it later.", I began to pat her head.

I was waiting for mum and dad. But while waiting, I kept thinking about Nina. It had only 24 hours since we both got together but I felt like she had totally changed me.

I never had tried to hard to find a girl who got lost but she's the first. I never felt on cloud nine once I found the girl but she's the first. I never hugged a girl because I was happy to see her but she's the first. I never carried a girl to the hospital but she's the first. I never care for any girl as much as I cared for her.

I admitted the fact that she's my wife.

My little shorty dumb wife!

Nina's POV:

His words just kept killing me inside. His actions were like fire. It kept melting my heart. Whenever I heard my name from his mouth, it relaxes me. I don't know why.

Sarah and William were standing in front me with Darren. He was sitting next to me. I felt like killing that idiot for leaving me alone in school without a proper transport to go home but after what he did for me, I felt like thanking him. But I can't do that! I can't lose to him!

"Nina sweetheart, we haven't told your parents anything yet. Do you want us to let them know?", William asked me.

"No please! I don't want mum's condition to deteriorate.", I tried to wake up from the bed but was not successful because Darren kept pinning me down back to the bed!

"Nina, if you don't want me to tell Chloe or Michael then you are to take care of your health and listen to Darren!", Sarah instructed me.

Oh no! I prefer dying rather than listening to him! Oh God! Please help me!

****************************************
It was time to leave the hospital. I had already changed my clothes and I was discharged. We were going back home. The doctor told me that I was quite weak because my fever was quite high. Because of that, I needed support to walk. Darren had helped me all the way to the car.

There were two cars waiting for the four of us. One was Sarah and William's while the other was ours. We got into our respective cars. Darren placed me carefully at the passenger seat and then went to his seat. I wanted to ask him why was he so nice to me when we never liked each other.

Darren was driving the car very slowly. We didn't talk all the way. It was quite awkward when the car was filled with the heavy atmosphere. I needed to break the silence but how?

"Darren, could I ask you something?", I mumbled as I didn't wanted to waste my energy.

"Now what is it?", he said in his usual grumpy tone.

"Why are you so nice to me today? I mean we are not even friends right?", I asked him.

"Yup but I'm helping you as a stranger. Since we can't be friends, we are strangers to one another so that's why I help you! You are a known stranger! Get it!", he blurted out his feelings out.

Now that totally hurts! Strangers? Seriously. I didn't wanted to argue with him so turned my head towards the window.

As soon as we arrived home, Darren took me out of the car and brought me inside. We walked up to his room. He then directed me towards my side of the bed. My hands were tangled into his.

"Nina, got to sleep now! It's already 3 in the morning. I need to sleep and wake up early. Got to go to school , you know.", he whispered into my ears.

Nina! Why is he saying my name so many times! It seriously makes my heartbeat skip.

Darren tugged me into bed and walked over to his side of the bed. He then slept.

"Good night Pluto.", he yawned and soon he was fast asleep.

I didn't expect to see this side of Darren as well. I don't doubt anything but his behavior is very confusing. At times he shows me how much he hates me but at times he shows how much he cares for me. That's totally weird. But I totally like it. I will get use to it!

Because I want to live with him forever. He's my Darren!
