Day Eight

For the first time in what seemed like a long time, I  woke up feeling sick. Like, literally. My head is pounding and my body feels as heavy as lead. I think it's the flu or something. I dragged my body out of bed and forced myself to take some aspirin. Then I called in sick. Not having much of an appetite that morning (crazy, right?!), I just washed my face and brushed my teeth before going back to bed to sleep it off. And the moment my back hit my wonderful, wonderful bed, someone knocked on the door. 

I groaned before getting up again and going to the door. I already know who my visitor is.

I groaned and walked up to her, taking her phone away and hugging her. Then I buried my face in her neck. "Sana... babe... please don't call an ambulance. I'm fine." I said in a sweet voice. I could feel her swallowing, her adam's apple moving ily. 

"I-I... uh... Y-you nee-... need to b-be checked... and-... god!" 

I started to plant kisses on her neck.
