I woke up with a throbbing headach and swollen throat. I have a cold, again. Its the third time i have gotten a cold this winter and its not even Christmas yet. My nose is blocked and my voice is broken. I get up feeling dizzy but i have to work to get the money for Christmas shopping. My boyfriend, Phil Foden is already out training. Last time i told him i was sick he made me stay home. I was very disappointed. I need to get up and go to work. I messaged my friend Lexie that i have another cold but im not telling Phil because i dont want to stay home alone and bored again.
I get dressed putting on my work clothes and then take some meds to ease the headache and sore throat. Last time i had a cold i couldn't swallow because of my swollen throat and i dont want that again this time. I had soup so much that time. I hear the door open and Phil walks in putting his training bag on ghe table.
"Is training cancelled?" I ask while grabbing by bag putting it on my shoulder and trying not to sound so sick.
"No." He replied taking off his shoes. "I got a message from someone." He says. Lexie. Lexie told him im sick again.
"Erm. Thats nice." I say trying to get out the door quickly. But he steps out in front of me blocking my way out and to work.
"You're sick. No work. And im staying in with you to make sure you dont leave." Phil says. I pount trying to make him feel guilty slightly and then let me leave but it clearly doesnt work.
"Thats not working. Go change. Ill make you some hot chocolate." He says. I sigh in defeat and drop my bag and take off my heels.
I go to my room and change into my jogging bottoms and a fluffy jumper and then climb into our bed. I put on the TV and continue to skip through the channels. Nothing good is playing at this time of day.
Soon later Phil comes back with two hot chocolates. I give him a weak smile. He also brang tissues and a bin for either throwing up or the tissues, i cant tell.
"Lexie told you?" I ask confirming my suspicion.
"Barely had to say a thing." Phil replied laying down next to me.
"You know if you stay this close ill give you a cold as well." I warm taking a sip of my hot chocolate.
"Anything so you dont go to work ans exhaust yourself." He replies putting fast and furious 6 on TV. He doesnt like to watch the new one because Paul Walker died and is no longer in them. He didn't take it very well.
~Flashback~
"I wonder why Paul Walker is no longer in the films." Phil says. I know Paul Walker is dead, but it seems Phil has no clue. Im goung ti have to tell him.
"Phil," I say takinf a deep breath and sitting up to talk with him,"You know Paul Walker died in a car accident, right?" I finsih.
He looks at me in disbelief.
"What?! When?!" He questions clearly not taking it well.
"A few years ago." I say. He jumps up and grabs his phone searching it up. After a minute ago Phil finally realised that he is actually, dead. And died a few years ago and no body told him.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
~End of flashback~
I fall asleep about 15 minutes into the film when i wake up by a knock at the door. I sit up to go get it but Phil tells me to rest and that he will get the door. I hear some talking and then I see Lexie walk in with a cupcake and a can of something.
"Hey, so im sorry for telling your boyfriend but i got you a cupcake that says, 'sorry'. And i got you a can of soup." Lexie says placing them on ghe end of the bed clealy not wanting to get infected by my cold. When i first got my cold she got it quite soon after me and ever since then she has been cautious of eveyone.
I laugh reaching for the cupcake to check what flavour it is.
"Chocolate, my favourite. I forgive you." I say. I grab then cough a few times and take a drink of water to calm my throat.
"And that cough is my que to leave. Nice seeing you both." Lexie says before rushing back out the door.
Im about to eat the cupcake before Phil takes it from my hands.
"You can have the cupcake after some proper lunch." He says leaving it on the table at the other side of the room.
"You sound like my mum." I call to him as he leaves. I hear him laugh and then i go back to watching the gast a furious film. The ine we put on before is no longer on so now fast and furious 5 is on. Ofcourse, nothing that doesnt have Paul Walker in. I actually am interested in watching the new one but i dont want to upset Phil about it.
Soon later he comes back in with a tray with a bowl of soup and a cup of water along with a few slices of bread.
"Phil, you really dont have to do this. You can go to training." I say accepting the tray off him.
"I know that i dont have to do this but i want to. Besides thats what boyfriend's do right." He smiles.
I begin eating the soup and he sits next to me and goes on Instagram.
"What have you had to eat?" I ask. Sometimes Phil is so busy with everything he forgets to eat properly and only has a snack or two.
"Erm..." He says which clearly means he hasn't eaten.
"Yesterday i bought your favourite sandwich fillings. It in the fridge second shelf. Go make yourself something." I say.
"Thanks Luce." He says before leaving. I hate it when people call me 'luce'. My name is Lucy, luce is just a shorter version. It isnt difficult to say Lucy when people say my name and speak to me. I narrow my eyes at him and he just laughs and walks away to make himself something to eat.
I soon finished the soup and decided that i want to eat the cupcake but Phil isnt back yet. So im going to have to try get it myself without fainting or feeling very dizzy that i walk into things.
I get up slowly and a huge wave of dizziness takes over my eyesite. I try get to the table before the blackness takes over but i end up falling over against the table and knocking the fram off onto the hard floor making a lot of sound. I hear Phil run up the stairs and i try get up but fail.
"You tried getting the cupcake?" Phil says crossing his arms and chuckling a bit standing next to me.
"Just help me up." I say putting my hands out. He lifts me up and wrap my legs around him as he carrys me to the bed and passed me some water and the cupcake.
"Dont leave this bed." He orders. I nod my head and try taking a bite out f the cupcake but i am unable to swallow it because of my sore, swollen throat so i have to spit it out into a tissue i put in the bin.
"Phil, i would usually never this. But i cant eat this even though its small and i dont want it to go to waste so you can have it." I say handing him the cupcake. He takes it and goes to the kitchen to cut off the areas i ate from so he is less likely to get my cold.
"Rest Lucy, ill wake you up for dinner if you can still eat it." Phil says switching the light off. I sneak my computer out as Phil closes the door. I log into my email and start do some work. I work in just a random business, i usually end up switching jobs. I begin emailing people and sending work across with spreadsheets. I would've done this in an office and had more chance to get more work done is Lexie hadn't told my boyfriend. Seen as we live together i cant sneak out back to work. Then i received and email from my boss explaining that she got a call saying that im sick and not coming into work today so why am i still doing it. I had to email back saying that i am sick but wanted to get a few things done before my cold gets worse and i cant.
The door flung open and Phil walks in and then stops in hid tracks seeing me typing on my laptop.
"It not what it looks like." I try to explain innocently and awkward smiling at him knowing he is about to take my laptop away from me.
"Lucy, do i really need to watch you all the time just for you to rest?" He asks slowly walking over to me.
I quickly try finishing my email to someone but then Phil takes my laptop away from me. I lean back and pretend to be sad while he takes my computer out of the room.
He comes back in and closes the door.
"Sleep." Phil says. I sit up and narrow my eyes at him.
"What if i dont want to?" I say turning my head slightly to the side. He walks closer and at the end of the bed, he reaches up and grabs my ankles pulling me down. I lay on the bed laughing while he comes up to the side of me and covers me in blankets.
"Now sleep." He says hoping over to lay down next to me but not facing me exactly so he doesnt get my cold. I close my eyes and fall asleep soon after.
