Benny had been in relationships with many girls before he had held them and shared much more intimate moments with them
ButwhenhesuddenlyheldWendyin hisarms,hisheartracedinawaythatfeltcompletelyunfamiliar.
He didn t have time to think about it now though
He quickly shook Wendy s shoulders Wendy are you okay
That was when he realized her forehead was burning with fever and her whole body was too warm She had a high fever
It was just like the saying When it rains it pours It was just one bad news after another
Wendy slowly opened her eyes and stood up I m fine
“You’renotfine!You’vegotafever.Canyoueven walk?Letmecarryyouback,”Benny
insisted.
Wendy glanced at Benny s injured leg Can you even carry me with that leg

Seeing him momentarily humbled Wendy smiled and headed back into the room Benny
followedher.

Benny watched her busying herself with the herbs moving back and forthwith her fragile body despite her illness He wanted to help but he didn t knowhow so he just watched
After she finished Benny said You should lie down and rest

Benny placed his hand on her forehead It was burning hot like a furnace but her limbs were freezing cold She probably had a fever of 107 F
“It’ssocold…”
Benny gave her all the blanket he had trying to share some warmth with her

Benny reached out about to embrace her
Butthenhehesitatedandpulledhishandback,lackingthe courage.
Benny stared at the ceiling Nothing would happen between them He didn t like her that way He was only trying to warm her up and that should be okay right
He leaned closer again his hand gently resting on her delicate shoulder before pulling her
closefrombehind.
