I had just started to drift off to sleep when my phone rang, shrill and insistent.I hesitated for a moment, wondering who could be calling me at this hour. And then I saw Kian's name flash on the screen. My heart skipped a beat as I wondered why Kian would be calling me. We hadn't spoken in weeks, and I had assumed that he was busy with his own life.But as I picked up the phone, I was surprised to hear a barman's voice on the other end.

I asked, noticing the change in his demeanor."Yeah, very much good," he replied, flashing a smile.I smiled back, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "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 think I need to lie down."I sighed, shaking my head. "Kian, you're not fooling anyone with that act," I said, my voice firm but gentle.Kian looked up at me, his eyes sheepish.

VIVIAN AND KIANAs I ended the call, Kian smiled at me, his eyes crinkling at the corners. 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.

I asked, the question hanging in the air.Kian's gaze faltered, and he looked away, unable to answer. The question was too much for him to handle.Just then, my phone vibrated, and Kian's phone vibrated too. "What's that?" I asked, walking towards where I had dropped my phone.
