Destined to be yours… - Chapter 15

Aly asked Aria and Caden to sleep again because it’s still early. The school had announced that there will be a long weekend because of the retreat. She went inside Brett’s room carrying a basin with water and ice.

“Brett?” Aly said. “Hhhmmm..” Brett responded. “I’ll give you a cold sponge bath to lower your temperature.” Aly said but Brett didn’t answered.

Aly started to remove Brett’s shirt and she gulped. Brett had a well toned body and the abs…!? Aly gulped again. “Aly Andrada, the person infront of you is very sick and you’re here to take care of him and not to fantisize.” Aly said inwardly. She started to wipe Brett’s body with the towel soaked on the cold water.

After giving a sponge bath to Brett, she touched his forehead and she sighed. The fever went down a little but she should give him medicine to recuperate fast.

Aly went down the kitchen and made a porridge for Brett. She also cooked breakfast for Aria and Caden. She came back to Brett’s room bringing the porridge.

“Brett?” Aly said. “Brett?” She repeated. Brett, because of the sponge bath, felt a little relieved so when he heard someone’s calling his name, he opened his eyes.

“Aly?” Brett said furrowing his brow. Aly smiled. “Why are you here?” Brett said while trying to sit down but because he’s to weak, he can’t that’s why Aly supported him to rest on the headboard. “Harper called me. She’s too worried a while ago.” Aly said. “Where is she?” Brett asked massaging his head. “Jackson brought them to the school.” Aly said. “Thank you.” Brett said. Aly smiled. Though Brett was not feeling well, he can’t stop himself to be bewitched with Aly’s smile.

“Here, eat this so you can take your medicine after.” Aly said feeding Brett the porridge. “I can do it.” Brett said getting the bowl from Aly. “No, I’ll feed you.” Aly said. “I’ll be your nurse for today.” Aly continued. “Today only? What if I’m not still fine tomorrow?” Brett said. “After drinking your medicine on time, you’ll be as strong as a bull tomorrow.” Aly said smiling.

Brett took the medicine for fever that Aly had brought. “You rest again. I’ll be at the kitchen to prepare Aria and Caden’s breakfast.” Aly said. “Nanny Laura will be here later. Let her be the one to prepare. You should also rest.” Brett’s said. “I’m fine. I will also call Amelia to inform her that I will not come today at the laundry. And Dave also.” Aly said.

Aly helped Brett to lay down again on his bed. She arranged the pillow and the bedding. “I’ll come back later for your medicine again.” Aly said and Brett nodded.

“Hello, Amelia, I will not be coming to the laundry today, do take care of the shop.” Aly said. “Why, is there something wrong?” Amelia asked. “Brett is sick. He have a high fever a while ago. Harper called me.” Aly said. “Oh, I see.” Amelia said with a teasing tone. “Hey, stop thinking nonsense.” Aly said faking her anger. “Alright, miss girlfriend to be. Take good care of your boyfriend to be and I’ll be in charge here.” Amelia said still teasing Aly. Aly will say something to Amelia but the call was ended.

Aly also called Dave and same with Amelia, he teased her a lot.

Aly came back to Brett’s room and was startled seeing Brett’s shaking body. “He’s chilling again.” Aly whispered. “Brett?” Aly said. “It’s cold.” Brett said. Aly got another bedding from Brett’s wardrobe and put it on his body. She thought he will warm but the chills still continued. “Oh, what will I do?” Aly said worriedly.

“Brett, let’s go to the hospital. Maybe, there’s something wrong in your body. We could do lab tests to know where your fever came from.” Aly said. “No, I’ll be ok later. After the medicine take effect, the fever will be gone.” Brett said. “But you’re chilling.” Aly said. Brett didn’t answered.

Few minutes passed, the medicine took effect and Brett fell asleep. Aly, because of tiredness, fell asleep too, still hugging Brett.

Nanny Laura opened the door of the house. Moving towards the kitchen, she saw that the breakfast was already cooked. She walked towards Harper’s room to get the laundry but was surprised to see Caden lying on the bed still in deep sleep. She quietly got the laundry and move towards Aria’s room. Same with Caden, Aria was still in deep sleep.

“What’s happening here?” Nanny Laura asked herself. After getting Aria’s laundry, she went out quickly and walked towards Brett’s room. Thinking that Brett was already gone, she opened the door of his room. Nanny Laura was shocked, with wide eyes and opened mouth.

Brett and Aly were in slumber, facing each other and hugging tightly.

“Morning, Nanny Laura.” Aria said while going outside of her room. “Is daddy ok?” Aria continued. Nanny Laura was puzzled. “Your dad is sick?” Nanny Laura asked. “Yes, and Auntie Aly was here to take care of him. Caden was at Big Sister room because they came here early.” Aria said that made Nanny Laura sighed. “Where’s Harper?” Nanny Laura asked. “Today is their retreat.” Caden answered going out of the room. “I see.” Nanny Laura was a little embarrassed of what’s she’s thinking a while ago.

“Let’s go to the kitchen and eat your breakfast.” Nanny Laura said. “But, I want to see daddy.” Aria said pouting her lips. “He’s still resting.” Nanny Laura said. “You will see him later after mommy cure him.” Caden said pulling Aria going to the kitchen. Nanny Laura smiled.

Brett felt that his fever is already gone and felt much better. He opened his eyes and smiled lovingly to the women beside him. He looked at Aly intently. He touched every inch of her eyes, cheeks, nose, and when he touched her lips, he swallowed. “How great if every morning will be like this?” He said to himself.

Aly felt the warm touch of Brett’s finger on her lips and slowly opened her eyes. “Morning, sleeping beauty.” Brett said smiling. “Mor…” Aly wasn’t able to finish her greeting when she saw their position, she blushed. She wanted to push Brett but the latter tightened his embrace. “My body aches, if you push me, it will hurt more.” Brett said hoarsely.

Aly tried to let go of Brett’s embrace but because it was too tight, she failed. “Are you sure you’re sick?” Aly said pouting her lips. “Why?” Brett asked. “You’re still strong enough. Please loosen a little, I can’t breathe.” Aly said. Brett smiled. “Promise me you won’t get out of the bed.” Brett said looking at Aly’s eyes. “Ok!” Aly answered. Brett loosen his embrace, Aly found the chance to escape but Brett was too fast. Aly was pulled back on the bed but not to Brett side but under his body.

“I told you not to get out of my bed. You should be punish.” Brett said with a husky voice. “But…” Aly wasn’t able to finish her reasoning because Brett cover her mouth with his.
