Camille's POV
My eyes peeled open with my body freezing less than before,a towel slipped of my forehead as a sat up on the bed.
He probably put it cause of my fever
I turned to see him peacefully asleep beside me with no hint of worry on his face as I had seen earlier before we slept off, picking up my phone "8:52" I read out loud as looked out the window to the dark sky.
Suddenly,a dark figure burst into my room
"Camille,are you okay?..I sa_saw blood"
"I'm fine Draven, you're going to wake him up" I assure him as he looked at me with worry and inspecting I was okay.
"What about the blood and the glass?"
"I slipped and cut myself with a broken glass" Draven gave me the "that sorta make sense" face before he looked at Andre suspiciously "who's that guy in your bed?"
"he's the reason I'm not having a blood transfusion right now"
"What?!...you said you just cut yourself self"
Yeah, deeply at that...
"Well you're okay, that's perfect but we need to get him at least out of your room"
"why?"
"Your parents are on their_"
BAM!
My door burst open with my breathless parents shifting from relief to mortified to Andre Makeila sleeping on my bed.
As if on queue,he opened his emerald eyes as he stared at all of us sleepily before his eyes widened in realization of the situation before him...
Oh Lord!
*****
"Oh sweetheart, thank God you're okay" my mum stated with relief as she plated I and Andre's food after convincing him to have dinner before he leaves.
I'd managed to explain the whole situation that led a guy in my bed and a celebrity at that....the one I'd almost killed at that!
surprisingly my dad wasn't so scrutinizing which was so out of character for him.
"Your mother is absolutely right, thanks again Andre.... we owe you one" my dad said appreciatively as he brewed his tea
"You're welcome sir,I'm just glad she called" Andre replied honestly as he looked at me with a smile which made my heart erratic and face red.
After a brief and slightly chatty dinner,my parents thanked Andre once more and gave him a packed lunch to take with him before I escorted him out "Thank you so much again" I whispered as we reached the gate
"It's fine" he said as he wrapped his arms around me,my body felt foreign to this feeling,the feeling of being held in such an intimate way but I liked it so,I leaned into it as his strawberry musk scent enveloped me.
God he smells good
"You gave me quite a scare Camille" his deep voice whispered,he felt so warm with his heartbeat steadying mine "I'm sorry"
was all I could say
"don't apologize again"
A laugh came out at his gentle, scolding tone "I won't "
"Good,I'll see you on Monday"
"See you on Monday"
on that note,we left each others' grasp as he headed to the black Benz waiting for him outside,with a wave shared he was gone...
To be fairly honest,I wish he'd stay the night,a stupid thought but true
"I like him" my mum said as I got into the house which I gave a weak smile to
"How about you?"
"Excuse me!"
"Gurl,you heard me"
"he has a girlfriend mama"
"That's not what I asked,was it?"
"I'll be in the terrace" I deadpanned not wanting to engage her
Where was she even going with this?!
"he cares about you" she stated as she picked the bag on broken glass to put in the trash "I do too"
"Good"
Care... hopefully that's all I felt

Monday morning
Andre's POV
My hands rustled through my pocket to find my keys when I heard a knock on my door "Oriena" my voice came out with a mix of shock, excitement and confusion
"Hi Andre" she replied with a gentle smile,her features seemed more relaxed prior to the last incident wearing a pastel blue dress and red heels with a yellow duffel bag hung loosely on her arm,I hugged her which she returned gripping me tight as the duffel bag fell to the ground
"welcome home babe"
"It's good to be back"
"Were you going somewhere?" the way she asked almost seemed like she didn't want me to leave
"No,I was planning to cancel actually"
Camille's POV
I'd had three lectures in the past 5 hours and still no sign of Andre Makeila anywhere,I'd walked the hallways back of forth,went to the basketball court,the tutoring office,parking lot....nada.
I was really excited to see him again, we'd planned to see on Monday and it's Monday
"You look like you stepped out of maze runner" Lucy hollered walking up to me and handing me a frappé and a hug
She wasn't wrong my outfit was giving major maze runner vibes with the whole messy bun, army green top,black hoodie,beige combat trousers,black boots and not to mention the bandage wrapped on my hand
Yeah guys,that's the mood
"I missed you even though we chatted all weekend" she mumbled into my shoulder still hugging me "I missed you too" I giggled holding her too before she finally released me "so,any tea for your gurl"
"Other than the fact that I cut myself pretty badly, almost bled to death but was saved by Andre Makeila and he slept in my room...no" I said which peak nonchalance,I was impressed with myself while Lucy gasped dramatically
"Sis,spill the whole damn tea drop for drop"
*****
"Camille Morgan,avert your eyes from the ball on defence one more time and I'll bench you" coach yelled from the bleachers as she took notes in her journal "sorry ma'am"
She wasn't wrong, I'd been sidetracked hoping to catch a glimpse of Andre but he was a no show sadly.
Even to the final eleven minutes of the practice match he was nowhere to be found "he's at home" Levi said as he sat with me on the bench while I stared down at my water bottle "Captain Levi?...is s_something wrong or is he sick?"
"Dunno,he just said he wasn't coming today" he replied with a shrug handing me towel
"Oh" he chuckled at my short reply looking at me with amusement
"Cheer up I might be going to visit him, wanna tag along?"
Absolutely!
"Of course"
*****
"do you think it's okay for me to be here?"
I asked as I fidgeted with my bag while I looked at the door nervously "he's very fond of you,I'm sure he won't mind" Levi stated it like it was a fact as he adjusted his glasses while I was blushing like a berry
I took the view of the environment,safe to say it gave futuristic basing of the architectural design. The sun was setting softly with its orange casting its color on us when the door clicked open "Levi?" Andre said with a smile while they shared a handshake "we missed you so we came"
We? you suggested it!
Levi teased looking down at me as Andre did the same, I felt so small under their intense gazes "Hazel" my name came out
Softly,I felt it in my toes and I doubt that's normal.
Oh fuck..
"Um,we were wo_"
"Dre who's by the door?" a female voice rang out,one I knew too well
"Damn bro,so this is why you were no show... welcome back Oriena" Levi said with a hint of amusement while I was left in shock with my nerves on the high end as Oriena gave me tight sweet smile
"Hi Morgan" her voice felt like venom to my ears
"Welcome back Mendez"
