A Race to Melt Hearts

I am trying to pull myself up, but it seems like a magnetic force is sucking me down. I'm trying to move my arms and legs but it's pointless, I'm too tired to make things work. I sigh again. I want to talk but my throat's too dry.

"Don't move." He walk towards me and help me sit, leaning on the bed's header. He immediately gave me a glass of warm water which I thankfully drink to appease my thirst.

"Thank you" he nods in response, but his cold aura give me goosebumps.

"My assistant will be here 30 minutes from now to deliver your food and some of the basic necessities that you will need for the mean time." He shifts the curtains, and opens the door that leads to a beautiful terrace. I put a note that it's not a window. I slowly observe his appearance.

What a beautiful specimen he is, broad and toned. 8 pack abs were flaunting visibly underneath his semi-fitted polo. His muscles aren't bulky and his hair is as black as the midnight sky that's tossed in a clean cut. His face is wrinkle free, with lips as red as rose and skin as pale as snow. He could pass Calvin Klein's underwear models, or he could pass as an anime character strait from a portrait.

"Are you done checking me out in broad daylight?" His stare is as cold as ice, but he is very shameless, stating the obvious that I did it. I grunted.

"What's the catch with you helping me last night?" we need to talk things out so I can get out of here as soon as possible.

"Do you think I need to have a reason before I help someone? aren't you thinking too much?" he's clearly trying to mock me, but my head was ignoring his statement.

"You could---" before I continue to speak he move forward and touch my forehead.

"You're burning again" his voice is laced with a little worry.

"Do you have pain relievers? or a paracetamol that I can drink without prescriptions?"

"We have, but I won't let you. You haven't eaten out, medicine intakes with an empty stomach will give you negative side effects. Just take some rest and I'll call a doctor to check you up."

He help me lay back down.
