"Shakespeare was a great writer, I remember about the plays we used to act with in High school, all of those were his works" Celine told me while she looked up at her laptop. We were at her place because of our report and that we both were available this time. We selected works of Shakespeare since its literature and he's been a famous writer back then…
"Yeah, we did that too. But I don’t get all giddy about Shakespeare work because it doesn't always portray love" I added, we were talking non-stop since we had finished half our reports.
"I agree. I believe Romeo and Juliet aren’t even a love story" we both laughed at the thought. I think of that too. After an hour or so I thought, I feel Celine poke me, I slowly wake up and I looked up the clock to see that it's already 10 in the evening. I fell asleep. The desk was all cleared. I remember finishing my part before I passed out.
"I hesitated to wake you up since you seem too tired. Are you hungry Max?" she asks while fixing her hair which I found amusing and cute. God.. I got no time to answer her question when my stomach growl. Celine laughed and got her purse "I'll take that as a yes".
I lazily got up but I winced when I feel my head throbbing. Fuck headache.
"Are you okay?" Celine asked in a tone full of concern, she put her hands on my forehead
which my body reacted to immediately. I feel my face reddened. "You don't look good. I mean, you look good but are you sick? Stay here for tonight. I'm just gonna go grab us something to eat. Okay?" I nodded and she left.
Thank God I don't have any work to do today. My head just can't cooperate with me. Celine came back with two paper bags on her hand.
"Celine, I can go home after this. I don’t want to burden you" I said
"What? No. Stay here. I don't want you to pass out down the street. Come on, let's eat." She handed me spoon and fork as she prepares for our meal, she got two bowls of rice, a chicken salad and chicken adobo and drinks. We both ate while watching some YouTube videos that she seemed to like a lot.
"Here, I got you extra pajamas and an Advil for your headache." I immediately drunk the medicine and thanked her. "Thanks, Cel. It’s just my stupid migraine but really, thank you. " I smiled and followed her to her bedroom but I stop midways and told her that I would just sleep on her sofa.
"No, you're my guest. I'll take the sofa you go sleep in my bed"
"No. That's improper, you're too kind enough to let me stay and I should be..-" she cut me
off by saying "then let's just sleep together on my bed. Come on! I don't bite" she playfully said giving me a wink afterwards.
Again, I found it to be amusing, again.
Half an hour later, I open my eyes to see Celine sleeping soundly. She snores a little and it was so cute. I stiffened when she moved closer and snuggled close to me. I can feel her breath on my neck which sent me chills down my spinal cord but gives me a warm feeling.
I smile at our position and let sleep came over me.
