Love Began with the First Meeting

By the time Molly woke up, it was already noon, three days after she had fallen asleep in Brian's arms.

After the stressful week she had been through, she hadn't gotten enough sleep. Her body was very weak. And on top of it, she was 'tortured' by Brian the other night. What had happened that night had worn her out, so she ended up sleeping like a baby in his arms.

Molly opened her eyes with difficulty and squinted at her surroundings. Her eyes were red and sore. She looked around, but she couldn't see anything clearly. When her eyes could finally focus, she looked sideways to see if Brian was still next to her. But he wasn't there; there was nobody around.

Molly sat up. She found all her clothes, folded and placed neatly on the chair. Immediately, she blushed and her cheeks became as red as a rose. She looked around again, then quickly grabbed the clothes and put them on even though she was sore all over and felt uncomfortable moving her body.

After Molly got dressed, she went to the bathroom to wash up quickly. Then, she stepped out of the ward.

"You are up,"

a deep voice said from behind her as she was closing the door. Molly was surprised by the voice and turned to look. She saw Brian, Eric and Tony walking towards her.

"I, I..." Molly felt embarrassed. She looked at Eric, who was now walking with the help of a crutch and was already standing in front of her. She reflexively took a step back and lowered her eyes.

Seeing her blushed face, Brian's black eyes darkened, "A doctor will be here to check your eyes soon."

Molly looked up at Brian with her bloodshot eyes. She looked at his sunken face and asked quickly, "Are you okay?"

With a cold little smile, Brian said, "Yes, I'm okay. I've recovered."
