Chapter 5

"I see! I don't have to be here as well," Valerie shot out turning her back to leave.

kayden held her wrist and twirled her around to face him.

"You stop right there," Kayden said.

"Why?" the young woman questioned her eyes burning deep down in hers.

There was a pause, his eyes burned deeply into hers, and as if that was not enough, he went ahead to explain.

"Why? because I am the boas around here, this is my territory," Kayden said his gaze burning through hers.

This was the highest peak of bluntness in a person that she has ever faced, her enter figure was heated up with unfailing anger, she was red, and he doubted if it was something he was supposed to be worried about.

Lifting her index finger and pointing it directly at his chest, she poked him with that little finger of hers.

"You aren't even arrogant, Kayden, but you are blunt, it seems like you get a dose of disrespect not only for breakfast but also for lunch, and then supper," she said her breath raging as she started to have an attack.

She was sick, whenever she had to force herself to talk too much, especially about hard things, it gets this bad and they are nothing she can do about it now.

She raised her hand to her chest, he noticed how pale she was turning.

"Are you... are you alright?" he asked as he closed the distance between them which was only inches, her breath coming out as if it was under high pressure.

"I am fine," the young lady managed to say after two minutes of silence.

She had closed her eyes through that period of time, it wasn't going to be something she could easily tackle, but if she was calm and wouldn't let this man's madness to get into her head, then, there are sure possibilities of her breathing this way.

Just as she had started breathing abruptly, she made it through the young man's eyes and she saw a hint of doubts there.

The atmosphere was so thick, he managed to succumb, but that wasn't for too long, especially depending on how accurate it might sound.

Valerie shivered. Kayden noticed it and kicked himself mentally for not doing the needful. The lady still had her cold dress on.

He opened the towel in his hands and swirled it over Valerie head, and her petite 5'4 meters just seemed perfect as compared to his.

He was a very tall man, 6'2 was a great height and it seemed that she was staring at him from a small box.

"You would catch a cold if you don't get out of those warm clothes," he said gently, his tone soft for the first time.

Valerie notched the worry in his voice, it was weird how that sounded, but he managed to make her see the reasons why him. Well, she was sorry to tell him that she didn't care that much.

"I can do this, doctor," she said in a teasing manner, making the young man seem provoked by his profession.

"Kayden," he shot.

Kayden knew what he was talking about, but she knew acting around would grant her more rules than it was necessary.

"Excuse me?" she demanded shivering for the second time. This time, she sneezed and good enough the towel was handy, thus, she used it in hiding her face with it.

"You can call me kayden, by the way, you must be freaking cold," he said.

"It is none of your business," she said rudely.

If one thing Kayden disliked on earth the most is the fact that most people can be as disrespectful as they look. He was one of that group of people, but he could take the patience to endure if it were from this woman before him.

He knew she was different, nothing could make her think any less now. Staring down at her, he suppressed the courage and let the words slip out of his mouth.

"You, Miss arrogant, are not going to talk to your supervisor in that way, it is so demeaning, you know?" the young man said glaring at her faintly.

That was a limitation, Valerie rolled her eyes and slighted it aside, it wasn't funny, and if this man was going to make a fool out of her, then, he was ready to put up things as well as he has plan them to be.

"I will take my leave now, Mr. supervisor," the young lady shot, her nostrils flaring a little bit. There aren't several things that go about her being rude, she was literally pissed off that she bullied her best friend and was now a bully. What more could she ask for? she wondered faintly.

That was it, she turned around to leave but wouldn't go because the young man held her faintly.

"Not so fast, buddy," the young man said.

"What?" the lady demanded being annoyed already.

"Wait for a second," He let out as he released his grip from her hand.

At that, Valerie was confused as he eyed the young man walk away from her in a smooth way. Kayden made it to one of the cabinets, he removed some doctor blue pants and a blue t-shirt and brought them to her.

"Here we go, you can change into this, it will make you comfortable while your clothes are drying, and keep you warm as well," the young man muttered out softly.

There are a lot of things that might have changed with them growing up to be adults, but, even at that, things still are going to change, they will never be as they used to be, they both changed, and a lot of these things have caused them to do so, and more, no matter what is going on, he just brushed it away that way and that was so awkward.

"Thank you," Valerie said gently.

It was the first good word she had succeeded in saying in a whole while, it seemed like a lump had formed in her throat, and now, fighting to push it down might even bring a little contradiction to himself.
