26 Sleep, Girlfriend (1/2)
Ethan was a light sleeper so he immediately check on her. No fever at all. He gently bent down and kisses her forehead lightly not to wake her up. As soon as he wash his face and brush his teeth, he open his laptop to check on his mails and other stuffs.
He heard her moaning, so he immediately put away his laptop and strode toward her. She try to roll or move but she couldn't. He immediately fetch a glass of warm water and a straw that the butler ready for her. He pull her to his arms and make her sipped. She sigh and grab his shirt with her slender fingers.
”E-tan…”
”I'm here.”
”I feel heavy.” She sigh.
”Tell me where it hurts or what else you feel? The doctor is already on her way here.”
”I need to pee.”
”Okay.” He carried her to the bathroom, make her stand and hold her. She look at him.
”You can leave me now.”
He hesitated but leave immediately leaving the door half open and he waited outside. After few minutes, she call him in faint voice and he immediately stormed inside and found her leaning on the wall with a towel on her hand. Her face is wet from washing it and he took the towel and gently dump it on her face.
”What happened?” she clung to him lifelessly.
”You've been drugged.”
”I feel like shit today.”
”I know what you feel.” He carried her back to bed and make her drink a lot of glass of warm water. Seeing her unwell makes his heartache.
”You do?” she asked like a little child. He wrapped his arms around her tightly.
”Mmm. I just wished that I am the one suffering than you. It's my fault anyway.”
”You know, I am still groggy and why would it be your fault.”
”Just sleep, girlfriend.” She chuckled and let him cuddle her.
After a few moments, Sabrina enter the room with a doctor from her company and a man with her who tail her around.
”Boss.” Tequila salute on her and she nodded. She lifted her phone and texted him.
”How's Whiskey?”
”Still unconscious.” He text back. She watch as the doctor check on Ethan's girlfriend. ”Boss, are you really going to get married?” He utter with pout and sad eyes. She rolled her eyes and lifted her fist to punch him but he hands up. ”Woah!” He exhales. ”Okay, I got it. I know that I can't win over him.”
She gave him a look of ridicule and left. She wanted to visit her person but since the engagement will be tonight, she have to wait for few more days. She waited outside Ethan's room until the doctor is done treating Aria.
Just when the doctor stepped out and face her, she realize that Marga was lingering around and watching them. She had probably watched her interact with Tequila. Yet she care no less about it.
”Regarding to Aria,” The doctor utter. ”The dosage wasn't that high and she'll be fine in few more days. I think you still have to contact me if there are any side effects.” She nodded and glanced at Aria who is now sleeping on Ethan's arms.
