Caden's POV

I sat down on the side of the bed as I dashed my previous clothes to the floor and adjusted my shirt a bit. The TV turned on and I flung the remote to the side stool watching the football match that was on.

My phone rang. I reluctantly rolled to the other side of the bed with a groan and stared at the name of the caller. Bingo!

Mackenzie.

"I've been calling you for like - forever! Where the fuck have you been?" she yelled.

"In case you've forgotten, the stupid wedding was today and I am so tired so - "

"I need you to meet me here at exactly 10pm. Do not be late!"

"Mackenzie, i'm busy. I need to rest - "

"Shut up and be here in a few. I'll be waiting," she hung upon me.

Argh!

Everyone had been pissing me off like crazy! What was her deal, anyway?

I grabbed my keys and put on my shoes, leaving the house in a hurry.

I was gonna murder her if it was something useless.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It was like I was lost in a super sound speaker. Booming music!

"HI! SO GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE!" Mackenzie yelled at the top of her vice as she widened her eyes and grabbed my arm.

"WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?" I yelled over the deafening noises.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! FOLLOW ME!" she yelled again and got me through the wasted crowd and grinding bodies until we reached the least noisy area. The counter.

It was dark with neon lights poorly flashing some brightness as everyone entertained themselves in their business. From tonsil hockey to bedroom business...

"Can you explain?" I asked as we both sat on the stools and only then did I realize that Mackenzie was drenched and reeked of alcohol.

"Let's party! Come on!" she yelled again.

"Kenzie!" I yelled.

"Waiter, ten shots please!" she ordered and kept yelling in excitement.

"Kenzie, what's happening?"

"Can you calm down? Sheesh! Its your wedding day, lil fellow and we're celebrating!"

"Its my wedding day, alright, but this is too much of a celebration. Let's go home now!" I ordered.

"You are such a joy wrecker. Calm your pants, please," she hissed and took a shot down her body.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" I yelled again, tired of the booming music, smacking bodies and alcohol that hyped the atmosphere.

"It's a party, hon!" she twisted a curl fondly in her fingers and came closer to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Come on," She whispered in my face and grabbed me by my arm, leading me to an inner passage way.

"What?" I asked, unsure of the destination and not liking the looks of it.

"This," she told and unexpectedly and leaned closer, smacked my body against the wall, pressing her lips against mine and leading me on in a fierce kiss.

I slid my hand to the back of her waist and lingered on, rubbing my fingers against her warm body as I felt every drop of alcohol she took in.

My phone vibrated from my pocket.

"One sec!" I whispered and got the phone out with Mercedes's name blinking on my screen.

"Don't answer it," she insisted.

"I need to," I replied and answered it.

"P - please get back home. There's an emergency," I heard her say in fear.

"Whats happening? I mean - hang on. Be there in a sec!" I replied and hung up.

"Don't go," Mackenzie pleaded.

"I need to. I'll be back. Just need to take care of something - " I replied, kissing her in between each sentence.

"No!" She screamed as I finally let go and found my way back to the party, squeezing through the wasted crowd and annoying music before I exited and found my way to my car.

Mercedes!

I hopped into the car and turned it on, remembering Mackenzie just a while ago.

She was insane.

Immediately, I sped away into the road, to meet my dear wifey, Mercedes.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Mercedes! - Mercedes?" I yelled as I opened the door and tensed from the totally dark house.

"Mercedes!" I yelled again when I heard no reply.

It was as quiet as a church. Something was definitely wrong.

Hastily, I turned on the light in my phone and ran up the stairs, skipping some in a haste.

"Mercedes! - Mercedes!" I yelled as I banged on her door. There was still no reply.

What was wrong?

I held the door and smacked my body against it forcefully a couple of times until it bursted open and I ran inside the room, looking everywhere.

"Mercedes!" I yelled as I searched everywhere.

"Mercedes!" I yelled as I opened the bathroom binders.

"Mercedes!" I yelled as I opened her closet.

"Mercedes!" I yelled as I opened the balcony door and looked everywhere.

"Mercedes," I whispered to myself and wiped off the lines of sweat that rolled down my face.

"Mercedes?" I barked again as I stared at the blanket.

I pulled it away and saw her on the bed, shivering cold with her eyes snapped wide open and her teeth gritted.

"Mercedes!" I whispered in an attempt to snap her out but she was so hot. As in, a fever.

Immediately, I carried her and managed my way through the house, bringing her to my own room and placing her on the bed.

Why the fuck was the power out?

I ran down the stairs and went out the door to the power box to see if there was anything I could do.

Someone shut down the power system in the house. Someone was there earlier..

I felt someone grab me and hold a cloth to my mouth. I hit the rib with my elbow and freed myself forcefully.

It was me against the mysterious bitch. And whoever may have been in the house.

Quickly, I sent a punch to his face and with my knee, kicked him in the common area until he fell to the ground. I dragged him by the chest and kept punching his face, hitting his head repeatedly against the ground.

Then, I jabbed him in the ribs with my finger as I shortened his breaths with his neck locked in my arm. Last, I grabbed my gun from my jean and pointed it at his head.

It was useless, since he passed out already. I immediately turned the power on and returned back for Mercedes. I held the gun concentrated, until I got to the house. I pushed the door open and ran up the stairs, returning the gun back to my jean and headed for my room.

Hurriedly. I opened the door and immediately ran to the bed, grabbing Mercedes in my arms and running downstairs with her weight killing me with every step.

I placed her on the couch and ran into the kitchen, then grabbed a towel and a bowl of cold water, hurriedly walking to where she laid, still shivering.

"You'll be alright," I whispered as I soaked the cloth in the water and squeezed the excess out, placing the cloth on her head.

I returned to the kitchen and grabbed another towel.

"Mercedes, wake up!" I yelled as I knelt beside her and soaked the latter towel in the water and squeezed the excesses out.

"I know you'll hate me for this, but its for your own good," I whispered once again to her and slowly unbuttoned her night shirt and got it off her body, exposing her abs and assets with the black tube she had on.

Damn that tube!

Her temperature wasn't improving, so I cleaned her body with the towel. Her hands, her back, her face, and just her chest. Just her chest.

"Mercedes!" I whispered as I tapped her and tried waking her up.

"Yeah?" she managed to say as she opened her eyes and stared at my face.

"The..the..."

"Sh...." I shushed as I placed my finger on her lips and stopped her talking. Although she kept shaking her body.

"I'll make dinner," I murmured and left her in the living room.

Dinner - dinner..

I grabbed a pack of spaghetti from the cupboard and grabbed a pan from the shelf.

Time for dinner. She should've been doing it!

39 minutes later........

"Dinner is ready." I notified as I dropped the tray on the centre table and turned on the TV.

She stared at me.

"Dinner," I said again.

"Is ready," I completed with a grin.

She didn't reply but laid there in shivers. I volunteered and walked over to her. Kneeling beside her, I helped her sit up, trying my best to not explore her body.

She stared down at her body and immediately smacked my hand, holding her shirt together.

"I didn't do anything. I promise i'm clean!" I yelled as I raised my hands up and chuckled.

Luckily, her temperature was returning to normal.

"Be..be...h..hind...y..you..." she stuttered, afraid.

"What?" I asked until I felt a punch in my back.

Ouch!!
