Kai entered Suzy's room quietly and stood at the end of her bed staring at her sleeping on her back with her bed sheet bunched up around her waist. Suzy was his friend; his friend who he was starting to look at as more than a friend.

"Good morning, Suzy." Kai said softly.

It was quiet enough that his voice picked her up out of her sleep.  "Mm... Morning Kai." Suzy replied with her closed eyes.

Kai moved closer to her and stood by her side.  “Hey sleepy head, wake up.” Kai said, gently moving a piece of her hair from her face.

Suzy groaned in reply.  “Five more minutes.”

"You're so y in your morning voice." He said getting her attention.

"Shut up Kai. Now get under the covers and lie down or leave."  Suzy patted the space next to her but never opening her eyes.  

Kai put his palm on Suzy’s forehead then nodded. “Mm…you’re still a little warm…” Kai said. He lifted up the blanket and lay down beside her.  She shifted in her bed slightly, turned from her side to her stomach and plopped her head on her pillow.

"Why are you here?" She mumbled under her breath.

“Your parents are having the best breakfast my umma prepared at my house. And they're waiting for you to come down." He said wrapping his arms around her, his fingers playing with her hair.

"Can't we just stay here and snuggle all day instead?" She said.

"Snuggle?" Kai questioned with laughter clear in his voice. He stared at her for a minute and smiled softly.  "Do you want to get up or you want me to bring your breakfast here?”

Suzy opened her eyes and looked to him with a small smile. “I've been sleeping all day yesterday and also last night, I’ve had enough.  I need to get out from this room.”

"Are you sure?" Kai asked while snuggling closer to her.

"Kai, I'm OKAY!" she yelled as she tried to get loose of his hold, but he only tightened it.

"Suzy, you don't have to throw fit." he reprimanded.        

Suzy lightly slapped his arm.  "I'm not throwing fit." She denied with a pout on her face.

Kai smiled. "I think this fever is making you loopy."  Kai accused.

"No. It's making me honest." She justified. 

 "I’m hungry.  Let’s have breakfast."  She suggested which led to Kai loosening his arm around her and propping himself up on his elbow.

“Suzy, about our date today, maybe we can just postpone it to next Saturday.  You’re still not feeling well.” Kai advised helpfully.

“No. I feel good. I can go out with you today.” Suzy said in rejection of the idea.  She wanted to get up.

"Suzy…" Kai said worriedly.

Suzy took a deep breath as if she was about to say something extremely difficult. “I still feel…not like myself,” she said hesitantly.  When she saw Kai’s expression she hurriedly explained further.  “But I feel better than last night. Definitely.” She let out a laugh, “and I know I don’t look too pretty.  But I'm not cancelling my date.  I'm looking forward to it."

“Mm, alright if you say so. I'll have to
