Eve's POV
"Nathan. Nathan, wake up!" I shook his body quite violently to awaken him.

"Eve, I'm tired..." His words slurred out of his mouth and his eyes were still shut.

"I'm serious. Wake up!" I tapped him severally. He sat up with just an eye opened and stared blankly at me.

He rubbed his eyes slowly. "What is it?" I couldn't find my words as my heart pumped almost loudly.

"I think she's dead," I said and pointed to the ground. He had a confused look drawn on his face.

He crawled out of the bed and I watched as his mouth literally hung wide open as he stared at Genevieve's body.

"What did you do?" He proceeded towards her but reversed. "Is she dead?" I still couldn't speak.

Did I just kill someone? Oh no...

"I don't know, I don't know. Check her pulse or something. I don't know." I pushed him towards her but he didn't move.

"I'm not going close to her. What happened?" Tears of fear filled my eyes, ready to fall at any moment. "Eve, please talk to me..."

"Okay. She came here and tried to drug me or kill me or whatever she wanted to do. So out of self defense, I injected her instead and she just fell like that."

"Are you okay?" He questioned worriedly and I nodded in response.

He inspected the body once again. "Her chest and rising and falling slowly. I think she's just unconscious."

I nodded. "So what should we do? We can't just leave her here." I spoke shakily.

He stood still. "I really don't know, honestly. We can just leave her in front of her office or something. I don't know."

The tears that were welled up in my eyes, streamed down my cheeks freely. "Oh, what have I done?"

Nathan walked closer to me. "Eve, calm down." He embraced my body in a warm hug. "It's okay. I think that's the only thing we could do."

"But, what about the syringe? My fingerprints are probably all over it and I..."

"Shh, calm down. We'll just throw that away. I have no other option than to leave her in her office, though."

I sniffed shortly and nodded. I walked over to Genevieve's body, laying still on the floor. I bent over to take the object out of her arm.

Nathan made a plastic bag ready. "Here." I threw it inside and Nathan tied it up, disposing it off into the bin.

"Now, we carry her and leave her in her office." He took both her legs and I helped him with her upper body. "Check if the coast is clear."

I kicked open the door and surveyed the environment. No sign of anyone. I nodded at Nathan and we continued to Genevieve's office.

"This is her office." I opened the door and helped carry her inside. "Should we leave her here?" I pointed to the wooden desk.

"Yeah, right here." We positioned her body close to the table. "We should leave." I nodded.

Nathan held my hand tight in his and we walked briskly back to his room.

-------------------------
I was highly irritated by the constant knocks on the door. I awoke from the deep sleep, waking Nathan up too.

"Someone's at the door." A long yawn flew out of his mouth. "Come in," I said, loud enough for the person at the other side to hear.

I stood beside the bed as an old, bald man walked in. "Good morning. I'll be discharging you today because your assigned doctor had a little accident earlier today."

I was slightly terrified at the mention of Genevieve. "I'll just check a few things and you'll be good to go." Nathan smiled with a sleepy face.

After some minutes, Nathan was checked and was doing quite well. "I'll need you to be safe." Then he turned to me. "Please help take good care of your boyfriend. You can go home now. I'll leave you and have a great day."

With that, the male doctor walked out of the room. "He just called you my boyfriend." I chuckled. "People don't even bother to ask anymore." I chuckled again but this time, nervously.

"I want you to be my girlfriend."

I turned my neck sharply to face Nathan. He smiled as I stretched to hug him. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," I whispered into the crook of his neck.

He pulled away from the hug, cupped my face in his broad palm and after stealing a glance at my lips, kissed them with so much passion.

As my hands rested on his shoulders, I kissed him back.

"Thank you," He said, as soon as he broke off the kiss.

I chuckled to his hearing. "For what?"

"For making my dream come true." He rubbed his thumb on the back of my palm. "I love you, Eve."

"I love you too, Nathan."
