At his place, Sadiq prepared her a hot bath and washed her clothes, then gave her some spare ones. As she took a bath she took note of some female care products, they probably have a girl room mate. Sadiq prepared them some hot drinks, as she dried up. After her bath, she wore his over sized band shirt, and borrowed some shorts then some blue slippers and proceeded to the counter where Sadiq awaited her.
Sadiq narrated that he moved to his parent's homeland in Turkey and finished high school there. Taking pursuit in Medicine, he returned to New York and finished here. Sadiq Adnan, the once flunking delinquent in middle school was now a professional doctor. Ehem, a hunky professional doctor.
" Oooh, a Doctor huh? Aren't you kinda buff to be a Doctor?" she teased, sipping her hot chocolate.
Sadiq chuckles agreeing with her.
"Yeah, I get that a lot. I work out a lot during my free time with my bros, Hercles and Gupta. You remember the two right?"
"Oh yeah, but the two were kinda like the not-to-talk sorta types back in the day." She remembers.
Sadiq chuckles again, putting down his cup of hot chocolate pushing back his glasses with his pinky "You'll have to forgive the two, oh and speaking of which they're hear so if ever you wanna backstab them you might wanna keep it low."
"Haha, I'll keep that in mind." Lovina understands, eyeing the 4 available doors. "Sooo, you three stick together 'til the end huh?"
"You could say that, after all we are bros"
"And are you three Medics?"
"Yep, but on different fields - Heracles is a Veterinarian and Gupta's a Nurse under training, being the youngest of us."
" Ooooh, hunks under the same roof that's something Bella would die for, and something Sakura would call a 'harem'"
"Oh and she's here too." He reminds.
Lovina silently chuckles, mocking his last reminder and copying his deep tone.
"Then I'll keep it low then..." she laughs, earning a hammering head ache. She rubs her temples, soothing her pain.
"Say, you're not looking feeling well, and you're a bit hot...don't move, I'll get the meds." He quickly stands from his seat and walks to the cupboard and searches for the medicines.
Lovina she sips her hot chocolate, jumping slightly when she hears her phone ring. Not wanting to alarm the sleeping tenants, she rushes to her bag, feeling her head hammering her as she snatches her phone not bothering to read the caller ID and tapped 'talk'.
"Hello?"
"SORELLA! Where are you? Do you know how many times I've tried to call you? Where are you right now and why didn't you say you were leaving?"
Shoot, she forgot how Feli can be if she wasn't there. Lovina fumbled with her words, finding her toenails a bit interesting.
"Yeah, about that...well..."
Sadiq appears behind her, holding the medicines in hand.
"Vargas! I thought I told you not to move?"
"Sorella who's that?" she hears Feliciana worry on the other line.
Lovina's headache speeds up "Sorry, Feli gotta go! I'll send you a text later, love you bye!"
Sadiq gave her a questioningly look as he sat beside her, handing a paracetamol and a glass of water. She thanked him then consumed the glass of water, Sadiq eyeing her curiously.
"May I help you?" she asked him nervously under his gaze.
Sadiq placed the medicine kit on the coffee table in front of him, exhaling a breath as he asked.
"Why were you under the rain?"
Lovina flinched from the question, why did he ask that now? Why didn't he ask that when they met a moment ago? Not wanting to look at him in the eye, she brought her knees up and rested her chin on top.
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"C'mon you can tell me, I don't bite." He reassured her, patting her shoulder lightly.
Lovina slowly twisted her head to meet his, chuckling a little.
"It's a long story..."
"That's okay, I'm all ears."
Looking at him now Lovina could say that this boy, the one who used to take pleasure in bullying her was now someone she can talk to. She took a deep breath, before she started.
"It's about this guy, whom I've been in love with almost all my life. Turns out, he actually fell for my little sister whom I willingly gave up for because I love her. I was at a party and I wanted to confess to him to let this annoying feeling outta me, but I happen to run into them making out. Then I ran out, for hours and hours until I bumped into you. The End."
Sadiq eyes never left Lovina's as he digested everything he had heard.
"Typical love story eh?"
"Tragic isn't it?"
"But it's kinda brave of you to give up everything just for your sister."
Lovina shrugs "She's my only family other than our Nonno in Italy who checks us every once in a while. I love her too much that I'm willing to give her everything just to see her happy."
"You're a masochist."
Lovina nods, agreeing with him, then yelp when Sadiq pats her head gently.
"A beautiful and caring masochist of a sister."
She smiles softly almost at the verge of crying again when the thought of it would be quite awkward and might cause her another head ache. Sadiq then stands up, stretching his limbs.
"Alright, I'm off to bed. You can take the guess room and I'm not taking no for an answer, I don't allow my patients to walk home with a fever. Got that?" Sadiq tells her, pointing at the room next to the bathroom.
He's so weird, in a really, really good way. She thought as she does a tiny salute.
"Yes sir."
Just as Sadiq opens his door, Lovina walks up to him and kisses his cheek.
"Thanks Sadiq, for everything…Good night."
Then she strides quickly to the guest room, closing the door behind her. Eyeing the bed before her, she practically dove into the soft bed burying herself in the comforts smiling for some reason. Her phone suddenly rings, Feli had just texted her.
From: Feli

Her smile falters, the thought of Feli all alone in their condominium haunting her. She was probably alone and waiting for her right now.

Putting her iPhone on the side table, Lovina slowly drifts into sleep.
