Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Sheila's POV:

I felt a hard object beside me that made me open my eyes and I looked around the surrounding to see the lamplight is still on and he is sleeping peacefully on my right side holding my hand in his left and his other hand was crossed against his forehead which was rested on the bed.

He pillowed his right hand for his head that made me furrow my brows.

Did he sleep the whole day in this position? What if he gets neck cramps or any?

I turned my attention towards my prince charmer and astonished by the way he was sleeping like an infant. He was so cute and handsome in his sleeping. His lips were partly opened and I wanted to touch his pink lips and run my finger through his messy hair.

He is a baby when he is sleeping but other time like a monster. No one can predict him easily.

I don't know how far I had been admired this sleeping beauty; maybe until he stirred on his sleep and changed his facial expression as to some wrinkles were formed on his forehead. I think he is not comfortable with this position.

I looked at the wall clock and it showed 3:00 am, there is an ocean of times for sleep. I slowly pulled out my hand from his grip and put the pillow under his head. His features soften immediately that's enough for me to fall asleep once again.

I laced my finger with him and turned the lamp light off before closing my eyes.

"Hey! Wake up." I heard a husky voice spoke and felt someone was stroking my hair gently.

"Leave me alone, Harry. I want to sleep." I groaned and pulled the bedsheet over my head.

I heard him chuckles beside me. "Sheila! Wake up. It's almost lunchtime and you hadn't eaten anything from yesterday evening. You had almost 18 hrs sleep. So wake up and eat something." He said pulling down the bed sheet from me.

No wonder why the sun is shining brightly through the window.

I sat on the bed and looked at him through my sleepy eyes. "Good morning." He smiled at me and I gave him a smile back.

"Harry! Haven't you gone to college?" I asked furrowing my brows.

Does he skip his college because of me?

"How does it look like?" He asked amusingly.

"Arrrhh!!" I pulled my hair out of frustration but felt a strange feeling that my hand is not functioning and to prove my hypothesis I couldn't able to bend my left hand when I tried, and my hand was heavy as well.

By chance, is there any possibility to gain weight overnight and all the weights would be stored in one hand?

I looked at my hand and a gasp escaped from my mouth. A huge sandal colour bandage was covering my whole palm not leaving any space to breathe my skin. I confusingly looked at him who was staring at my already stunned face.

"You screamed out of pain in your sleep, so I called the doctor again. He examined your injuries and wrapped the bandage around it saying it would heal you fast and you don't feel so much pain." He answered my unasked question.

I gave him a weak smile and looked away. For some reason, my eyes welled with tears but I blinked it back. How come in the world someone is so nice to me though I'm not worth it?

"Come down, lunch is ready." I nodded my head and looked at my palm. "Don't worry, this is waterproof. So get a nice bath and come down." With that, he walked out of my room.

Thirty minutes later, I reached the living room where he has patiently waiting for me. Once he saw me, he gave me a huge award-winning smile. "How are you feeling now?" He asked.

"I'm fine Harry," I responded to him having a smile on my face. We both settled on the seat at the dining table and my eyes widen in surprise.

There was plenty of food on the table, we can feed at least two hungry monsters. I narrowed my eyes at him but he grinned like an innocent baby.

"What is this, Harry?" I asked pointing all the food on the table.

"I have no idea what you want to eat, so I ordered all my favorites." He shrugged his shoulder.

"So, this is your favourite too," I asked taking the Bitter Gourd's Fries from the table.

"This is for you. It has important nutrients like iron, magnesium, and vitamin to Potassium and also twice the calcium of spinach. So you get more strength."

I looked at him like he was some kind of species. "Anything else?" I raised my brows. For that, he shook his head like a big no.

"Harry, I am not going to participate in any weight lifting competition. I don't need that much strength." I teased him and started to eat my favorite food Biriyani.

We both enjoyed our meals and ate silently. After finishing our lunch we watched a movie together and played table tennis in the playing room. In between those hours, he kept asking me how I was feeling.

At night I tiredly crawled on the bed and laid down while grinning like a maniac. I closed my eyes to get a relaxing sleep, and not to specific he came into my dream as usual like a prince charmer.

---

"So are we going or not?" Quinn asked and I rested my elbow on the table before putting my face between my hands.

"I'm not going, Quinn. Frankly says, I don't have that huge amount for the excursion and it's for ten days. I'm not even close to anyone in my class, So having a Trip with them is boring." I tried to point out.

"What are you going to do for these ten days? We have college off, do you remember?" Kevin asked while taking a sip of his Coffee.

"I know, Kevin. I have planned to go to my hometown and---"

"And going to take one more week leave without informing anyone, right?" Harry cut me off in my mid-sentence, amusement was written all over his face.

"Harry!!" I shrieked and threw him a punch on his shoulder. He faked a painful expression and rubbed the spot.

"Why girl, what I said was true. That is what you did last time. Should I need to remember you?"

"No thanks!" I pressed both my hands together up and bowed my head. "Could you please change the topic?" I huffed.

As usual, we are hanging around our usual place and our best topic of the day turned out the upcoming college Excursion. Our college has planned to have a Trip to Hawaii for Ten days but as I said earlier I'm not going.

"Ten days is really a good opportunity to visit all over India and I have planned to visit some Travel places there. What do you say?" Harry asked desire was evident in his voice.

"Yes!!" Quinn Shrieked. She stood up from her seat and ran towards Harry's seat to kiss his cheeks.

"First time, you used your brain. I wanted to visit the Taj Mahal. The place is so amazing and Lovable. Kevin, we can take a lot of selfies from different angles and I will post them all on my Instagram. I can't even imagine how it looks like." She squealed like a kid looking upwards.

"Of course, babe." Kevin pulled her on his lap and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

I smiled at them and looked at Harry who was already staring at me. A blush crept on my cheeks and I bit my inner cheeks. He cleared his throat, "So what do you guys say?"

"Of course we should go." Quinn said full of excitement.

"What about you, Sheila? Finally, their attention turned to me.

"Hmm... I.. Don't Know. You guys go, I'm not coming." I said not daring to look at their face while fidgeting my finger nervously.

Quinn shook her head disappointedly and her face dropped down. "Come on, Sheila. Don't be a boring grandma. If you won't come, me either not going." She folded her hand against her chest and looked at me accusingly.

"Then what about our selfie?" Kevin exclaimed raising both his hand in the air.

"If you want to take a selfie then go alone and find someone else." She glared at him. That's it, she has initiated her drama.

"Quinn, don't you thinking you are acting too far." She gave me a pointed look and I shut my mouth instantly.

"Okay! Guys, I booked the hotel room and we are leaving Friday night. No argument and the full plan is mine." Harry said while scrolling down through his mobile phone without looking anyone.

Quinn's lips curved up and she kissed Kevin's Lips. "Sure babe we will take Lots of selfies and have some fun." She winked at me.

"Moody." I muttered under my breath.

"But Harry---" I started but he cut me off. "Listen you own me an apology, so you are coming with us." He said sternly and stood up from his seat.

"Did you take your medicine?" He asked eyeing my left hand which was fully wrapped by the bandage. I rolled my eyes at his sudden mood change and nodded my head as Yes.

"I'm leaving then. See you later." With that, he walked out of the cafeteria. I looked at him until his back was disappeared from my sight.

"Well-- me too leaving, I have an important class to attend. If I late this time, my professor will kill me." Quinn excused herself and started to walk away whilst Kevin followed her behind.

"Seem someone is died of boring." Tammy approached me having two drinks on his hands. I grabbed one drink from him while he took a seat beside me.

"Long time to see. How are you, Tammy?" I flashed him a huge grin.

"I'm fine. What about you. Still it hurts?" He pointed a finger to my left hand.

"No, Tammy. Not much." I assured him.

"So, are you going to Excursion?"

I shook my head. "No, actually we have some other plan." He raised his brows at me.

"We mean?"

"Hmmm..." I playfully hit his shoulder. "Don't act. You don't know whom I am referring to?" He sniffed in his seat and gave me an awkward smile.

"What is your Plan, Tammy? Are you going or not?"

"No. I have some important work to do." He said bitterly.

I furrowed my brows and looked at him confusingly. "What work---" before I could finish the sentence he took my hands and started to draw a smooth circle over it. He usually does this whenever he gets nervous.

"Tammy, why are you nervous?" I asked finally letting my curiosity out.

"Sheila. Our company has faced some issues and my dad is running out of stress. I wanted to help my dad. So this time I have a plan to accompany him for the next board meeting which will be on coming Saturday."

He explained everything about his dad's mental state and their company's loss. Their only chance to regain the strength is to get Brook's contract back.

Mr. Brooks industries have a good reputation over the world. He handles a lot of multi-company in a successful way and his son is going to take over the position soon.

I feel pity for him. Starting their own company was his dream, If they lose the contract with Mr. Brook's, they would financially get into trouble and maybe there is a chance to lose their share in the company.

Speaking about the name Brooks, I think I have heard this name before, but where?

"Sheila..." Tammy called my name. Even before he could begin whatever he is coming to say, he looked at something behind me and his body tensed.

"Still you are here?" Harry approached me and stood between us. They both shared a weird look but said nothing.

"Yeah, I'm talking to Tammy. It's been a long time since we get a nice time." I told him with a shy smile on my face. What got into me? Why I'm acting like a school kid whenever I was around him.

"Okay! Sheila. I want to go." Tammy stood from his seat abruptly and walked away ignoring me calling his name over and over. Harry took a place where Tammy sat before.

"Is any problem with you guys?" I asked him out of curiosity. Most of the time I have been noticed that Tammy's weird behavior as he ignores me whenever Harry was around.

He shrugged his shoulder, "I have nothing to do with him, but it's better you stay away from him." He said like it does not matter to me.

"Harry, if you forgot then I'm glad to remember you that he was there for me when I had a hard time and he is my good friend. How can you easily say stay away from him, huh?" He is not a predator.

He raised his hand as surrender. "Okay, okay, I'm just saying. That's all." After that, we both departed to our classes and ended up in the theatre to watch the movie 'Kissing Booth' which we had planned a month ago.
