BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

KEN’S POV

After Alexa ate and drank her medicine, she fell asleep again. I watched her while she was sleeping, and I could not stop smiling. She really looks like an angel when she sleeps. They are both really the same. I just slapped my forehead with my thoughts. Come on, Ken, move on. They are different, okay?

“I will protect you always. ” I exclaimed, even though I knew Alexa would not hear me.

Suddenly my cell phone vibrated, so I looked at it and frowned when I saw that it was Caleb calling. What is it this time?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Oh? What do you need? ” I said after I answered his call.

( You are so impatient. You are worse than a pre-menstruating woman. ) he teased.

” I will hang up the call. ” I was cold towards Caleb.

( Hey, hey, just wait. This is no longer a joke. I just want to know your situation with Alexa. )he asked.

“What about us? ” I also asked back.

( Well, Rhea mentioned to me that you two are together. You act slippy and fast. ) he said with a hint of teasing

“The girl is sick, Caleb. It is not the right time to make a joke about that! ” I spoke to him with unbelief.

( Fine, fine, how is she? ) he asked

” She is here. Her fever has gone down, but she is sleeping now. ” I said.

( Oww, you are an effective nurse, ) . he says

” Tsk, you said you will just ask how is her. I will take it down. ” I said to him in annoyance.

( Just wait, so what is your score? ) he asked again.

“Score? Are you crazy? I am watching over her, we are not playing. ” I answered irritably.

I heard his laugh on the other side. What is his problem? Why does my friend like this?

( I mean, what? Are you still acting fake, or are you already falling for her? ) he asked in seriousness, so I was stunned.

” What are you talking about?! Of course, I was worried about her. After all, even though our relationship was fake, I did not falsify the emotions I showed towards her. ” I explained.

( It is from you that you did not fake your emotions. The real question is, is that care out of responsibility, or do you like Alexa? ) Caleb asked emphatically.

” What point are you going to? ” I asked him.

( You need to know how you really feel about her. We are friends. I know you better. I just do not want you to be hurt or hurt somebody. ) he replied in seriousness.

” Whatever I feel, I only know one thing. I will not let Alexa get hurt. ” I answered him in seriousness as I looked at the sleeping Alexa

( Alright, it looks like you have realized what you are feeling. My work is done today, bye bro. ) After he said that, he ended the call. Aish! What is that person talking about?

ALEXA’S POV

I woke up because of the noise coming from Ken, so I opened my eyes and saw that he was talking to someone on the phone. Who could that be?

” Whatever I feel, I only know one thing. I will not let Alexa get hurt. ”

I heard Ken say, then turned to my seat, so I closed my eyes again. Is he referring to me? After a while, the surroundings got quiet, so I acted like I simply woke up. I rubbed my eyes to make it look real. I turned to my right and saw him staring at me. He noticed that I was awake

” How are you feeling? ” he asked.

” Better than before, thank you. ” I answered him with a smile.

I felt that I was peeing, so I tried to get up. I was able to stand, but when I walked, I was suddenly out of balance. I closed my eyes and was ready to feel the floor, but I did not feel it for a few minutes. I decided to open my eyes, and suddenly my eyes widened at what I saw. I lay on top of Ken. He caught me before I fell to the floor. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and our eyes met. Why cannot take my eyes off him? After a few minutes we were still in the same position, suddenly my cell phone rang, so I came back to my senses and quickly stood up. I took my cellphone and looked at Ken who was blushing for a moment. For sure, me too. It is really embarrassing. I answered the call.

“Hello, mommy. ” I said nervously.

( Hi, sweetie. How are you feeling? ) mommy asked

“I feel better. I have already rested. ” I said

( It is good to hear, is Ken still there? ) mommy asked again

” Ken? ” I first looked at his behavior, who currently cannot even look at me, ” yes, he’s still here. ” my answer

( It’s good that way. Because our meeting has been extended, we cannot go home yet. ) Mom explained.

“It is okay, I understand. ” I replied to Mom while hiding the sadness in my voice.

“Okay, sweetie, I need to go. Bye, I love you.) After she said it, she ended the call.

I just held my breath. Does it like this when you are sick, you will feel mixed emotions?

“What is wrong?” Ken asked.

“Nothing. ” I said with a forced smile.

“Okay, I will not force you if you do not want to share. Anyways, are you going to the bathroom earlier? ” he asked.

Then it hit me. Our position earlier was embarrassing

“Ah, yeah. I am sorry for what happened, I was out of balance. ” I said

” No worries, but next time you will ask me for help. I am always here.” He smiled at me

I smiled back and sat on my bed. Ken sat in the chair at my side table. The silence prevailed in the whole room for a few minutes

“Alexa.”

“Ken.”

We both laughed because we called each other at the same time.

“You first,” I said

“Ah, I mean?” he began

” Sorry for what happened at the gym last time. When I yelled at you, I did not mean it. “he says

” It is okay. Maybe I was too sensitive at that time. ” I said smiling

” No, that was my fault. I did not even give you a chance to explain your side,” he replied

” I am also guilty of what happened. I thought it was simply because I thought I am imagining you when I saw you back then, so I did not pay attention. ” I explained

” But thank you because you understood me at that time,” he says

“And thank you because you stayed by my side even though that happened. ” I said

” By the way, last time Rhea told me that brother Xander talked to you? What did you two talk about? ” I asked him in curiosity.

“Ahh, he explained to me what happened. I was ashamed of him because I misunderstood you at that time.” He was ashamed of me.

” Is that so? My brother is kind, but when Rhea told me that, I was nervous for you too. ” I told him directly

His shock was obvious, “why? ” he asked

” Well, my brother is a master in taekwondo, judo, and other physical sports, maybe you will end up in a hospital there. ” I said to him and then my laughter burst out.

“It’s a good thing I did not dare to do that. ” he also laughed in response to me.

I hope we can always be like this. Just laughing, we are just being genuine.

” Is there a problem? ” he asked.

” Nothing, I just thought, it seems like this is the only time I really laughed like this for past years. ” I admitted.

” Really, you should treat me for breaking the record,” he said

” You also ruin my day, sometimes. ” I said jokingly.

” Well, of course, you are so cute when you are angry. ” he teased

” Tsk, if I did not treat you as a friend, I would have kicked you. I am also a master in taekwondo, duh. ” I threatened him, and he just laughed

” Thank you because we are friends. I thought I was your enemy for life. ” he laughs

” Do you want? ” I asked him

“I am okay with us being friends. At least even if we have a fake relationship, we are still true friends,” he said with a smile.

I smiled at him. True friends, huh, but it seems painful. I just dismissed what was in my mind, and Ken and I continued talking about things. I will never forget the day when I met the deep side of this man.
