Chapter 26

Kirill was still by my side when I woke up a few hours later. My fever was starting to come down,but I wasn't feeling any better. My sinuses were killing me too. And not to mention I had a really bad headache too. Kirill wouldn't leave me though(which was kind of a good thing because I didn't want him to leave me in the first place.).

I seriously hated feeling like this. Now I knew what it was like to get sick. It sucked too because I really wanted to get the hell out of this hotel for once. But I knew that wouldn't be smart because I knew that they would end up finding me and then Kirill and I would both be in danger.

"Hi,"he said as I started to wake up. He bent down and we embraced. "Feeling better?"

I shook my head. "No. Not really."

"Hang on. I'll be right back." He went back into the bathroom to get me some more medicine. "You're lucky I have these."

"When did you leave?"

"I left while you were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For taking care of me."

"Don't worry about it. No need to think me."

There is a reason to thank you,I thought. You saved my life. I probably would be in the hospital by now.

He put his hand on my forehead again. "Hopefully this will help."

"Yeah…"

"I need to leave tomorrow Nicole."

"Ok."

"Can you help me?"

I nodded. "I'll try to." I started coughing again.

He put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me. "I don't want you to do anything if you still feel like this ok?"

I nodded. "Ok."

He kissed me again. "I can't believe I'm saying this…but I'm really glad you're here. Even though you shouldn't be here."

"I know."

"I hate feeling lonely sometimes."

"I thought you enjoyed being lonely."

"People change Nicole."

"I didn't think you would ever change Kirill."

He sighed. "I know."

I looked at him in the eye as he turned away. He then looked back at me.

"What?"

I shook my head. "Oh. It's nothing."

He smiled and kissed me again.

"You might want to be careful. I am sick you know."

"I don't care. I get to stay with you more."

"I don't want you getting sick Kirill."

"I've never gotten sick in my life Nicole. I think I'll be ok."

"You never know. I've never gotten sick in my life and look what happened to me."

He kissed me again. "I know."

I sighed. I knew nothing was going to change his mind. "When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"I don't know yet."

"Oh."

"Probably in the afternoon."

"Don't worry. I promise to tell you goodbye. Nothing is going to happen to me all right? So stop worrying."

"Ok."
