Chapter 94 - Embrace all of that (1/2)

Lena saw that his outer suit jacket was taken off and he had unbuttoned a bit of his shirt. He must have washed his face, but the rest of his body was sweating.

Lena was going to go close to him to check on him, but she backed off. ”Wait here, I am going to call Collin.” She knew that she should not call the emergency number. She closed the door, grabbed the chair from her room and put it on the door and sat on it. She dialed Collin's number.

”C'mon.. Pick up… pick up..” Lena was anxious.

”Hello?”

”Oh my, thank the lord! Collin, you have to come quick. Something is wrong with Kris. I locked him my bathroom.”

”What?”

”Just come quick. He's not feeling too good, make sure you bring Keso too please.”

”I am coming right now.”

Collin was actually at the bar with Tye. They were the older ones of the group and they often have drinks on Fridays. He pulled Tye out of the bar and put the phone on speaker. ”Tell me what happened.”

”I… um. He had a headache and he took the wrong medicine. I think it was an aphrodisiac drug.”

”Those doesn't work on him.” Collin replied.

”That's what he said, but trust me.. He's showing the signs.”

”What do the pills look like?” Tye asked this time. Lena did not know who the voice was. ”Collin's driving.” Tye spoke after Lena did not reply.

”Uh.. hold on.” Lena got off her chair and went to grab the bottle. She went into her room and locked the door. ”Umm…” Lena opened the bottle and took out a pill. ”It's white… it as an A on one side and a heart on the other side.”

”I have not seen a medicine like that… hmmm. What symptoms did he have?”

”He was sweating badly. He kept groaning. He was the floor, I did not dare touch him.”

”Stay in a locked place… and if you need to, beat the crap out of him. We are a bit out but Keso will be there in a few minutes.”

”O--- AH” Lena dropped the phone. Kris came up from behind, grabbed her by the waist and tossed her to the bed.

”I should not feel like this.” Kris looked at Lena. ”Why do I desire you…” He went closer to her. ”You should have not let your hair down.”

Kris leaned in and Lena closed her eyes. After a few seconds, nothing happened. She thought that he was going to kiss her. She opened her eyes and saw him just playing with her hair.

Kris moved behind her and let her sit between his legs. He hugged her from behind. Lena kept moving from the uncomfortableness. He tightened his hold on her.

”Don't move… can you just sit still for a bit? Just till they come?” Kris placed his head on her back and closed his eyes. He was trying really hard not to do more than this.

”Ok… but I get to ride your elevator next time.” Lena compromised. She was unsure of her decision, but she felt that Kris was not sweating nor heating up when he grabbed her. She told him that she would trust him, so she will now too.

Kris chuckled. ”Deal.”

He didn't know what took over him… but the moment he was on the floor and seeing her by the door just watching him, he wanted to embrace her. He remembered her sparkling eyes and her cute pink lips smiling at him. He wanted to embrace all of that.

This was the first time in a long time that he had successfully hugged someone. He relaxed on her back and breathe in her sweet scent. It was calming. He kept a tight hold on her. Somewhere deep inside him, he was scared that once he let go, he'll never experience this again.

”Is this how it feels to hug someone?” He asked.

Lena felt her heart soften again. Why was she always so considerate of Kris… and each time it is because he was hugging her. She remembered what he said before. ”A person who can't feel love won't have the desire to love.”
