Episode 9

Amelia,"ACK...."

Luther immediately got up from his place, feeling worried about why she screamed.

But as soon as Luther turn his face and was about to run towards Amelia, his face turned bright red even his ears and turned around again covering his face.

Amelia loudly screamed at him,"WHY DID YOU TURN AROUND?!", her face also bright red, holding her towel tightly covering her wet body.

Luther didn't know what to say but tried to explain himself, answering to Amelia with his back facing her, "I-I heard your scr-scream and thought that you were in....danger... I didn't mea-"

Luther was cut off by a sound of hiss. He asked, a bit worried,"Can I turned around now?" Amelia allowed him to turn around.

As soon as Luther turned around, he frowned a bit and walks towards Amelia. Amelia was already dressed, but she was sitting on the ground, touching her ankle with a bit of pain in her face.

Luther knelt down and took her ankle in his leg. Amelia was shocked,"Wh-what are you doing?"

Luther sighed,"How did you hurt your ankle?" he looked worried and annoyed. "I was getting up to the shore, but I slipped. But it's alright, it doesn't hurt that much... I can still walk-", Amelia got up immediately trying to show Luther that she could still walk, but she lost her balance and was about to fell down when suddenly, Luther caught her by her waist and pulled her closed to him,"You can't walk... at least not when your ankle is hurt like this", he said in a low voice.

Amelia didn't know what to say. She just nods and remain silent, her face still a blushing mess.

Suddenly, Luther lift her up in a bridal way. Amelia was stunned and was about to say something but, Luther hushed her to remain quiet.

She could not understand what was happening at all. She just looked away from his face, her hands still around his neck as she was afraid to fall down.

"Don't you like it?", Luther asked playfully." What?...", Amelia asked, her cheeks still red with a little pout. Luther notice her lips which was pouting a bit and gulped. He quickly turned away before Amelia noticed, his ears red and answered, "Nothing..."

Well, Luther was going to tease Amelia by asking her whether she likes her ride, but Luther couldn't do so anymore when he saw Amelia lips. He was calm and composed before but now, he also was trying his best to calm down like Amelia.

The whole way to their home, they didn't speak.

When they reached home, Luther made Amelia sit on her bed while he was taking out the medicine box. Amelia had finally calm down and Luther came to her with the medicine box. He sat down on the floor and took her injured leg, fully concentrated on treating her. Amelia heart was beating fast. She was still not used to this type of situation, and she felt something in her stomach when Luther took her leg.

Luther could hear her heart pounding dramatically, but it was the same for him. He was just trying his best to remain calm.

He finished treating her ankle, and he subconsciously kissed her leg,"I hope that you'll get better..." and he looked up to her. He saw Amelia's stunned and blushing face, and he realized what he did.

He quickly got up from the floor and was about to walk away from her room,"...get rest, today. I... I will cook dinner...", Luther said facing his back to Amelia.

Amelia was completely stunned. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes but all the memories came flashing back. She jolted up and bury her face in the pillow, screaming internally, her heart beating fast and her stomach filling with butterflies~
