"I should take my leave now," I said, gesturing towards the door.But just as I was about to turn and leave, Kian suddenly touched his head and winced. "I am feeling a headache," he said, his face contorted in a grimace.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. I knew Kian well enough to recognize when he was faking it. And this was definitely one of those times."Really?" I asked, my tone laced with doubt.Kian nodded vigorously, trying to convince me. "Yeah, it's a really bad one.

I wondered why he did that, but before I could ask, he spoke up."Where did you get that information from?" he asked, his voice slow, sexy, and deep.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I replied, "I went to ask the bar man, he said you are a regular here and you are a good man."Kian smirked and placed his head on my shoulders, his hair tickling my skin. I felt a surge of protectiveness towards him, like he needed to be patted and cared for.As we sat there in silence, Kian's breathing slowed, and he fell asleep on my shoulders.
