The story of you and I

CHAPTER 40

The next morning, I woke up with the sun shining in my eyes, I had forgotten to close the blinds at night, usually was Alex that oversaw that. I turned my head to see Alex, she was still sleeping, her bare back to me, porcelain white, sometime in the night she had removed her bra and her voluminous hair was everywhere. I got up trying not to make too much noise, I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and went to the bathroom, before getting in the shower I called Oma's to order our favorite breakfasts, my makeup was a mess on my eyes, and they were a little puffy. I sighed as I looked in the mirror and then got into the shower.

When I got out of the shower, Alex was still sleeping, it was so weird that I woke up before her, I was in the kitchen looking for some pills for her hangover when someone knocked on the door announcing that the breakfasts had arrived, I looked in my purse for cash before opening the door.

"Emma?" I heard Alex yell from the room followed by a groan, you should never yell when you are hungover, c'mon that's like basic hangover 101. I left the bags in the kitchen and went to the bedroom.

"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" I told her softly from the doorway, she had turned around and was lying on her back, her arms crossed over her eyes and a grimace of pain plastered in her mouth. She dropped her arms and raised her head so she could look at me, she made another wince at me and spread her arms like a baby asking to be picked up. I smiled and approached her, she moved a little and patted her side so I could lay close to her, I did it and dropped into her arms. "After breakfast you will feel better, do you want me to bring it here?" I felt her nod, I got up and brought our breakfasts on a breakfast table.

She sat up a bit and first she took the two pills that I brought her, then she looked at her food unconvinced, I frowned as I chewed my breakfast, then she grabbed a toast and bit into it slowly, stopped chewing and looked at me with panic in her eyes.

"Shit, shit, shit...wait!" I told her as I grabbed the table and held it up in the air so she could rush out to the bathroom. I left the table on the bed and ran after her, reaching to grab her hair as she hugged the toilet and let out the contents of her stomach.

"Sorry" she said as she grabbed some toilet paper to wipe her mouth and wiped away the tears that had come out from the effort. I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the head.

"Ok, breakfast can wait a bit, how about a shower?" She nodded and I helped her up, adjusted the shower, and helped her inside.

"Come" she said again spreading her arms "Please" she looked so miserable with her discomfort that I didn't have the heart to refuse, I took off my clothes and got in, as soon as I did, she hugged me tightly, I didn't know if she was like this just for the hangover.

"Not feeling very good?" she shook her head slowly against my head. "Ok, let's get out of here quickly so you can lie down" she put shampoo on her head and lathered her body.

A moment later, she was with fresh clothes and was taking another pill, she was in yoga pants and a T-shirt, sitting on the sofa in her living room, I watched her from the breakfast room while I finished my breakfast. She turned her head to look at me, catching me staring at her, her eyes were sad and dull, however, she smiled as widely as she could, I smiled at her the same, but we both felt the tension in the environment. After putting away Alex's full breakfast and throwing away my empty containers I sat down on the couch next to her and gently pulled her to rest her head on my lap. I turned on the TV and started looking for what to watch while with my free hand stroking her hair.

"Em..." she told me still looking at the screen.

"Do you wanna puke again?" I said getting ready to go find something where she could throw up.
