The sick neighbour IV

I shake that thought out of my head and get the medicines and the popsicles.

My music abruptly stops and I see Noah calling? I just talked to him
"Hello"
"Hi, hey listen can you get me a fruit smoothie?"
"Phew, you scared me!! Yes I'll get you a smoothie"
"Stay on line I am just around the juice bar, tell me the flavour"
"Sure sure, mmph"
"There a steel bottle beside you place that on your stomach you might feel better"
"Genius"
I park in front of the juice bar and go inside the store
"You there?" I ask
"Yep"
"So, they have watermelon, orange, grapes and pomegranate"
"Pomegranate"
"Aye aye, I'll be there soon"
"Bye"
I hang up and take his order. I drive back listening to brdgs and stay in the car till I finish the song.
The door is unlocked and I go in.
"I got you a little something and a little bitter something"
"Yayyy and well I'm sick"
I keep the popsicles in the fridge and give him the smoothie
And give him two little pills to drink down with the smoothie.
I place my hand on his forehead and sigh because he still has a high fever
"What is it?" Noah asks
"The fever hasn't come down and you were just wincing in pain, should I call a doctor"
"Let's wait till tomorrow, then call the doctor, also can you give me a heating pad?"
"Hmm sure"
I come back with a heating pad and a towel and cold water
I try to get his temperature down with the towel and place the heat pad on his stomach
He grabs my hand as I was getting up to change the water.
"Hmm?"
He gestures towards the chair and I obediently sit.
"So tell me about your boyfriend," he says weekly
I give him a surprised look and then answer "I haven't had one since a year"
"Really?, Their loss"
He looks into my eye and I look into him for a solid minute, the tension is broken by his groan.
I get up abruptly, stutter a few words and go to change the water
I take a deep breath and change the water. I go back to his room only to find him asleep. I place the cloth on his head and leave for my house.
I try my best to not think about him and get super indulged in my book.
I finish my book and see the time its midnight, a decent time. I get cosy in my comforter and sleep.
