Ellen POV:
I woke up before patty. Our naked body's were tangled together as I looked to my right, I saw the vibrator. A small smile appeared on my face before I tucked it back into the drawer. My legs were super sore from being bent and twisted in ways that I shouldn't be. I quickly made a pit stop to the bathroom and went pee before walking downstairs. For some odd reason, I was feeling a lot more energetic this morning. Despite my cramped legs, I felt like I needed to work out. I grabbed a nutrition bar out of the pantry and snacked on that while I went upstairs and got changed into shorts and a sports bra. Patrick remained sleeping as I went down to the gym that was in the finished basement.

There was a treadmill, small trampoline, weights, body mirror, and a pull weight bar. I closed the door and turned on some music while setting my water bottle down. Like I said, my legs were really sore so I had to stretch before running on the mill. My Apple Watch said it was 7:00 am, patty should be up at 8. I started off slow at 10 kilometers per hour. Then sped it all the way up to 30 kilometers per hour. I had already gotten in 3000 steps in 30 minutes, which was fairly good. I turned it off then went to lift some weights. The highest I went was 10 pound up and down.

By the time I was finished it was only 7:45. I took a breath and a sip of water before I heard the basement door open. "Ellie?" Patrick walked down the stairs and found me. I smiled and then fell on the floor out of breath. He laughed and started walking over to me. "Mm, you look all sweaty" he examined my sweaty chest and face. He held his hand out for me to take, I got up and ran upstairs. He followed after me.

Both of us reached upstairs and took a breath before I felt something in my stomach. It wasn't a nice after work out feeling, it was a sick feeling. I closed my mouth and ran to the master bathroom, puking up my insides. And the nutrition bar. "Ellie!" Patrick came and kneeled down beside me, holding my hair. I flushed my guts down the toilet and leaned up against the wall. "Too much sex..." my whole body laid on the cold tile as I caught my breath. Patrick handed me a glass of water and carried me to the bed. "Snuggle day" he put me under the covers and tucked me in like a child. "I'll be back"

Patrick POV:
I hated seeing Ellie sick like this. It almost made me feel sick. I quickly kissed her forehead and ran downstairs, grabbing some yellow Gatorade and plain rice crackers. I knew that's what she liked when she was sick. So we always had extra, considering she's always catching a different bug.

I ran back upstairs and saw her shaking in a cold sweat on the bed. I sighed and sat on the edge, placing the food on her nightstand. "Patty..." she shivered as her teeth chatted together. "I know Ellie" I tried my best to comfort her by rubbing her back. "What do you want to do?" I spooned her cold figure and held her close. "Watch greys anatomy" she handed me the remote and went on Netflix. We put on season 5, when Meredith and Derek just got engaged. Both of us laughed at some of the funny moments we had. And even remembered some of the behind the scenes memories. "Look, your so young" she pointed and cheered up as she watched both of us act.

She reached for the rice crackers and Gatorade while I laid behind her and ran my fingers through her hair. I heard small nibbles come from her as she worked on the rice cracker. She handed me her Gatorade and I took a small sip. She put them back on the table and snuggled deeper into my chest. "You should get some sleep Ellie..." my hands stayed tangled in her golden tresses. She nodded her head a little and closed her eyes. "Can you sing?" She quietly groaned. I looked down at her in confusion, "sing?" I repeated her words. She nodded her head for a yes and closed her eyes again. "Ok..." I tried to think of a song to sing, when it hit me.

"Wise men say... only fools rush in."
"But I can't help falling in love with you..."
"Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?"
"For I can't help... falling in love with you"
"Like a river flows. Shirley to the sea. Darling so it goes... that some things, are lent to be, Ohh"
"Take, my hand. Take my whole life too"
"Cause I... can't help. Falling in love, with you"
