Chapter 94: Sleeping arrangement 4

August walked dazedly to the kitchen and opened the tap. She splashed water on her face before turning to lean on the sink after closing the tap. She felt as if her brain had just been electrocuted and she experienced a black-out.

August put her hand on her chest to calm her racing heart. This day would go down in history because she just saw something she wasn't supposed to see and the shocking part was that she didn't feel guilty about the fact that she saw something like that.

What amazed her the most was how Aaron managed to play cool in that kind of situation. Most of all, how was she supposed to look at him now without wanting to look down there? Now that she had seen it, she wasn't sure she would look at him and not imagine that thing again. The pervert in her was acting up.

''It was big'' She said absentmindedly.

August shook her head and walked to the burner. Because it was automatic, she just had to turn it on without a lighter. She put the pot of porridge on the burner and turned it on. August stood on her toes and opened the cabinet on the upper shelves and removed a small porridge bowl.

She rinsed the bowl in the sink before putting it down. When the porridge started boiling she turned the burner off and picked a soup ladle to fetch the porridge.

August covered the porridge and put the bowl of porridge on a tray and added a porridge spoon and breathed in and out before taking the tray upstairs.

When she got to the door, she breathed in and out, calming herself down before opening the door. She paused at the door after seeing that he also walking out of the bathroom.

Aaron had just finished towelling himself and wrapped the towel around his waist before walking out of the bathroom. He saw August standing at the door with the tray. Aaron put his hand on the wall and supported himself as he walked towards the closet.

He turned and looked at August saying ''what are you doing standing there? Put the tray down and come and remove a set of pyjamas for me. I asked you to get them for me before going but you didn't''.

August didn't say anything. Her eyes were fixed on his chest. She stared blankly at him from his chest to his orbs and then further down before she blinked a couple of times, to clear her mind before putting the tray on the table.

She walked into closet while Aaron stood by the closet door watching her. August nervously picked a set of pyjamas and walked back to him asking ''do you need me to help you wear them?'' She gulped hard as she watched him.

She wasn't sure when he had entered inside the closet but they were now standing closed to each other. She almost bumped into him when she turned just now

''No, I only want the pants. You have to apply the medicine on the wounds at my back, so it will be difficult to wear a shirt since it will wipe the medicine away. I can wear the pants myself''. Aaron responded.

''Yes''. August handed the pants to him and put the shirt back.

''Do you need my help wearing the pants?'' August asked and smiled awkwardly adding ''that won't be necessary, right?'' August said and hurried out of the closet with a crimson face and Aaron stayed back to wear the pants.

August walked back to the desk and sat on the chair edgily. Things were much awkward between them now. August thought about a lot of things that she could possibly use to chat with Aaron Saint so that the atmosphere won't be tense when he came out.

Aaron walked out wearing only the pants. August flushed looking at his abs and turned her face away. Aaron went and sat on the bed and noticed she didn't want to look at him. He pointed at the tray and asked ''what should we do first?''

''Huh, what do you want us to do first?'' August asked jumpily, her mind running wild as she responded rather loudly.

''I mean would you feed me the porridge first or apply the medicine on my back first? What were you thinking?'' Aaron asked and looked at her. He really enjoyed teasing her, she looked especially cute and flustered with her thoughts running wild.

August looked at him and her eyes flickered. Because she was nervous she misunderstood his sentence. She felt embarrassed and gave an awkward smile saying ''the porridge first. The medicine has a strong smell, it will take over the aroma of the food and make it hard to enjoy it''.

''You are right'. Aaron replied. August picked the tray and pulled the chair closer to the bed. She put the tray on her laps. 'Is a little hot, so I will blow on it before I give it to you. Is that okay by you?''

''August, just do whatever you think is best, I will follow everything you say''. Aaron said and added ''since you are my caretaker, I have to listen and obey your instructions, right?''

''Yes''. August replied and pouted her lips shyly before she opened the lid. She fetched the porridge in the spoon and blew on it before putting it towards Aaron's mouth. Aaron opened his mouth and took the porridge.

August continuously blew on the porridge before giving it to Aaron and he ate it every time. The one doing the feeding and the one doing the eating kept stealing glances at each other and would turn away anytime their gazes met.

August placed the empty bowl in the tray on the table after Aaron finished the bowl of porridge. She stood up and picked the medicine box from beside the bed and spoke ''I will apply the medicine on you, you have to tell me when is painful, okay? I won't know because is not my body''.

''Okay''. Aaron responded and sat on the bed crossed legged, he straightened his back.

August went behind him and sat on the bed. She opened the medicine box and removed the disinfectant, gloves and ointment from the box.

She removed a cotton bud and dipped it into the disinfectant after wearing the gloves. She placed the cotton bud on the cuts and gently cleaned the cuts ''is it painful?'' Aaron shook his head. ''You have to tell me if is painful, okay?'' Aaron nodded.

August gently cleaned the cuts and applied the ointment on the cuts. She finished and removed the gloves. She looked at the man's broad back and was tempted to touch it. She almost gave in when she heard the man's voice and stopped herself in time.

''Are you done?" Aaron asked unaware of her thoughts.

August patted Aaron's shoulder and said ''good boy, I know it must have hurt but you held it in. I will reward you when you get better''.

Aaron turned to look at her and his nose brushed against her lips. August looked at him flustered and Aaron immediately turned away. He didn't know she was sitting so closed to him and turned abruptly. If he had made a little movement, he would have touched her lips.

August got down from the bed and closed the medicine box and placed it back. She looked at the time and picked the tray walking to the door before saying ''is still late. You slept early so is now 3:AM, you should get some sleep again''.

''What about you? Are you going to watch over me without getting sleep again?'' Aaron asked looking at her back view.

''You're sick. What kind of caretaker will I be if I sleep without watching over you? Off course I have to watch over you. Don't worry about me''. August said and opened the door.

''I am worried about you'' Aaron suddenly said. August took her hand from the door knob and turned to look at him.

''How about we sleep together?'' Aaron suddenly blurted out his thoughts.

''Huh? Sleep…together? You and me?'' August asked blushing, her ears turning red.

''No, I know what you're thinking, is not that though… yet. What I mean is, you have to stay awake taking care of me, right? Then, we can share the bed together. The bed is big and wide, enough for two or more people. That way, you won't have to sleep on the table and get neck paralysis. I am saying that because I am worried about you. we wouldn't want you to fall sick after I get well, right? You just got out of the hospital''.

August smiled and nodded her head saying ''okay, I will put this down and wash-up and get a change of clothes before I come back''.

''Okay, then, I will be waiting for you'' Aaron said and August smiled before going out of the room.
