Please Let It Be The Flu

Amber's POV

Today was suppose to be my first day of work but I'm home instead. I woke up with a huge headache and I can't stop throwing up. I hear the flu is going around so I'm guessing I got it. I can't stop thinking about what happened at Jason's office. I swear he is going to get us both fire before I even start to build my future in law. We need to be more careful. A message from Jason though stops my train of thought.

Jason: Hey why aren't you here, I miss you.

Me: I think I got the flu, I'm not feeling too well. I will be in on Thursday. I miss you too.

Jason: awe man, well I'll be going over to your house after work to bring you soup.

Awe he's the sweetest. I check the clock to see how much time I  have to get ready for Jason. It's 4:30 so I have about an hour.

When I get out of the shower I am feeling a bit better but the headache won't go away. I try to ignore it though as I look for what to wear. I take out two options. Leggings with a sport bra and sweater or shorts with an oversize shirt. Shorts with oversize shirt it is. I am too tired  to try and look my best. However I put some mascara and blush on. And Just like that there's a knock at the door. I go downstairs to open the door and there he is. "Hi baby, I've missed you", he says as he pulls me gently into a hug and plants a small kiss on my lips. "Me too". I close the door behind him and pull him to the couch. He places the soup on the table and sits at the end of the couch. He holds my hand and tugs it telling me to sit on his lap so I do. I lay my head on his hard chest while he holds me with one arm and strokes my hair with his hand. " I love you so much, you know that right?" He asks while planting small kisses on my neck. "Yes I know and I do too", I tell him. I could stay here like this forever. In a blink of an eye though I'm soundly asleep in Jason's arm.

When I wake up I hear someone yelling. Jason is grabbing his shoes and heading out the door. My mom. Oh my god. "Care to explain what you and Jason did here on MY couch last night" she yells. My head is pounding and I feel the need to throw up. I push by my mom and run upstairs to the bathroom, locking the door behind me. "Don't tell me you're pregnant Amber," she says. I can her voice growing louder which means she's coming up. I throw up the food I had ate yesterday in the afternoon and all the fluids I drank. Oh god please just let this be the flu. I'm just starting my law career I can't have a kid right now. " No mom, it's just the flu and Jason came last night to bring me soup, we fell asleep on the couch. You clearly saw us both dressed mom so clearly nothing happened!" I yell trying to keep my throw up from coming out. I hear her sigh. "You're right I'm sorry, I will go apologize to Jason and get you some medicine from the pharmacy before work." I think she's done but then.. " i'm also getting you a pregnancy test to be sure". Please just be the flu. please just be the flu. PLEASE.
