((( CLAIRE )))

He wiped my tears off.

"I'm just surprised at what you showed me." I lied.

I was really feeling nauseated since I woke up.

"Tell me the truth."  

I shook my head.

"I'm fin-" I felt the bile rose up to my throat. I want to vomit.

Seriously? Not today!

Zhio was seriously looking at me as if he knew something that I don't.  

"I'm fine. Promise. I'll just go back to our room,"

I stood up and sprinted upstairs towards the bathroom.  

I don't want him to know that I'm still having bouts of retching. Why am I even vomiting? Could it be…?

No, I shouldn't be!

I'm still halfway through the room but I can't hold it any longer. My mouth couldn't possibly restrain all the goo from my stomach. I mindlessly thrust my head outside the window.

In a blink, all the sticky yellow soup fell on the canopy of trees below.

I sighed.

There's still some more.

My stomach churned painfully when I disgorged more goo.

"Claire."

Damn. It was Zhio.

I wiped my mouth swiftly and closed the windows before he saw.

He pressed the back of his hand against my forehead. "You have a fever! You can't go to-"

"I'm fine. I want to see them right now!"

I was surprised. Why did I yell at him?

"I know you want to but not today. You have to rest," his voice was calm.

"I can go…I didn't vomit."

S H I T.

Why did say that?

"You smell like it," he pointed out.

I suddenly dropped myself on the floor and thrashed my feet like a child.

"I want to go!"

"You look like a spoiled brat right now. Alright, you could go. But promise me that you'll take care."

"I said I will!"

He reached for my hand,

"Dennise is waiting for you downstairs. And about our agreement…"

I nodded.  

He pulled me at him and kissed my forehead. Whenever he does that, my world stops spinning. And I felt genuinely loved.

"Be safe Claire."

He escorted me downstairs to the lounge where we went to earlier. Dennise was in a simple white dress that fitted her curves. Her hair was temporarily dyed back to black and a cute headband was on top of it. She's really beautiful.

"Wow," I said in amazement. I'm suddenly in love.

"You're gorgeous."

"Handsome," she corrected.

Yeah. She's a lesbian.

"Are you really fine?" Zhio asked again.

"I told you I am."

"What's the drama?" Dennise butted in.
