I woke up with a smile on my face. Kevin didn't leave the bed after all. His arms were wrapped around my waist from behind and we both were very close to each other.

Very.

I felt a bit weak, but I ignored the feeling and turned around to face his beautiful face. Surprisingly, he was awake just like me.

"Good morning Jones." I whispered with my wide smile. He was staring at me quietly for some time, and that was when my smile disappeared. I knew that he would turn cold on me again.

It was too good to be true.

He saw the extreme change in my mood and pulled me closer to him, kissing my forehead once I was as close as possible to his warm body.

"Good morning beautiful." He called me beautiful again, what was wrong with him?

"How are you feeling?" He asked concerned, probably from the 'situation' yesterday.

"I am ok Kevin, stop worrying." I tired to convince him, but couldn't even convince myself.

"How do you want me to stop worrying? You have a fever Mariah." He sounded mad.

"And why exactly are you mad?" I asked, getting kind of angry too.

"I am not mad." He sounded even angrier.

"Are you mad at me because I have a fever Jones? Do you get how ridiculous this is?"

"I am not mad Mariah, cut it already!" He half yelled.

I was stopping myself from slapping him and got out of bed. It's always one step forward and four steps back with him and I was getting tired of it.

He was mad at me because I have a fucking fever! How insane can he even be?!

The things that I had to deal with in the mornings...

"Come back to bed." He demanded.

"I don't feel like it." I announced proudly and walked towards his bathroom.

"Come back to bed Mariah." He warned, but I decided to ignore and walk inside the fancy bathroom.

Ugh, everything about him was too much, even his freaking bathroom.

I made sure to lock the door and went straight to the toilet, feeling the sudden need to throw up. I touched my forehead and the strong heat confirmed my fears.

I really did have a fever.

I sat down on the floor with my face literally inside the toilet, and waited for the food to come out of my body.

I hated that feeling.

While I was waiting patiently, I heard weird sounds coming from the door and seconds later, footsteps getting closer and closer to my weak figure.

"Go aw.." Before I could even complete my favourite sentence, I threw up.

I felt two strong hands on my back moving in a slow and comforting rhythm. My mother used to do that every time I threw up. The asshole then removed my hair from inside the toilet and mainly my face.

"I wasn't mad. I am just not used to feeling concerned for someone, I am sorry." He whispered and I could hear the pain in his voice. Once my body decided to stop torturing me, I turned around to face him.

He couldn't look at me.

"You are always so hot and cold with me Kevin." I took a deep breath to calm down from the fight that we just had and from my amazing throwing up session.

"I am not used to all of this Mariah, please just try to understand." I nodded but still couldn't managed to understand.

He has Lucy, he should be comfortable or at least familiar with these types of things already.

"What about Lucy?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. I saw a smile beginning to form on his face and I knew that his answer wouldn't be pleasant.

"She is my sister." He simply said, now looking into my eyes with his gorgeous smile. My mouth opened widely. I didn't know what to say. I was lost for words for the first time in my whole entire life.

She was his sister.

His fucking sister!

"All of that jealousy for nothing Evans." He teased and I blushed heavily. He was right. I was jealous at some point of her and mainly her 'relationship' with Kevin.

"I... I don't know what to say."

"Say you want to come back to bed with me." He almost begged.

"Are you feeling alright Jones?" I asked him and brought my hand to his forehead, checking if he caught the fever too.

His temperature was perfectly normal.

"Why would you ask that?" He raised his perfect eyebrow.

"You are not an asshole for some weird reason." I raised my eyebrow too, trying to understand what was wrong with him.

Not that I didn't like it.

"I am never an asshole babe." He winked, causing my hormones to go totally crazy under his gaze.

"Sure, whatever." I rolled my eyes.

"Wash your mouth and come back to bed with me." He pleaded.

And that was exactly what I did, with a fat smile on my face.

And a fever, of course.

*********

I opened my eyes as soon as I felt someone moving under me to see those same stunning blue eyes. He forced me to lay on his lap so he could check my temperature throughout the whole movie. Before I fell asleep on his lap, my temperature was going up and so he made me put a wet towel on my forehead.

He was acting just like my mother.

He was acting just like he cares, and I was shocked from seeing this side of him.

The good side.

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you." He whispered and finally managed to stand up from the sofa that we were laying on to watch '50 shades of grey'.

Yeah, I made him watch it with me. Last time I couldn't even focus on the movie and it was all his fault. He was laughing at my movie choice for so long that I had to tell him that if he doesn't up I will take that damn towel off. At least that shut him up.

"I have to leave." His voice showed me that the only thing that he could think about was sleep. His eyes showed me that he was worried that anything would happen without him there to comfort me.

"Where are you going?" It was hard leaving my eyes open but my curiosity was bigger than my tiredness.

"Work." He replied shortly.

"Same work that involves your gun in it?" I asked while sitting on the sofa, facing his stressed yet angry face.

I could tell he didn't want to talk about it.

But I did, and for once we were going to do it my way.

"It's none of your business Mariah." I could tell he was angry by his voice but I didn't care. I wanted answers and for the first time in my life I was determined enough to get them.

"I am waiting for an answer Kevin." I warned him.

"Keep on waiting Mariah, we are not doing this now." He stated.

"Why not?" I whined.

"You have a fever and I have to leave." Just like that he disappeared in the stairs. My patient towards his disappeared as well and I was so damn furious.

I deserved to know and he deserved a slap.

He came back down with a black suit, like always, and decided to stare at me.

"You can't leave. Do you know why?" I said with a smile.

"Enlighten me." He played along the way, knowing that nothing I would say make him change his mind about leaving and giving me some answers.

"I am hungry." His face turned serious in a matter of seconds which made me very proud of myself. I knew that he couldn't resist making me food.

Couldn't resist seeing me eat.

I was such a genius.

"Order out, I gotta leave." I was shocked from his respond but decided to not show it and try harder.

"I am not ordering out." I rolled my eyes at him.

Damn I was such a good actress.

I should think about making it my career if he won't give me my freaking job back, I thought to myself.

Another fight that we had to have.

"Don't order out then. I will make you food when I get back."

Asshole.

"I promise you, I will not be hungry when you get back. I am hungry now! Will you not take the chance?" I tested him.

"You are so immature Mariah." He complained and rolled his eyes.

"What did you just say?" I opened my mouth wildly. I was overreacting but I loved it. The fever did damaged my brain cells a little.

"You are wasting my time. Make sure to call me if, and only if, you are burning." He walked closer to me and kissed me on the forehead, making sure my temperature wasn't that high. He backed away from me with a smile on his face and began walking towards the wooden door.

"If you walk out of that door Jones, I will have to consider talking to you again." I warned him, sounding very serous this time. He fucking ignored my comment and left the house, locking the door behind him.

Ugh, getting answers from him was harder than I thought.
