The next morning I see a text from Noah
" feeling soo much better, the stomach ache has soothed and I don't feel like shit anymore"
I wake up make him breakfast and head over to his house, he looks so much better. "Someone looks like, they had a good night's sleep"
"Either that or your medicines and hand-worked"
"Maybe"
I hardly talk to him the whole day, then at night I get a call from him "hello"
"Hey, I don't feel soo good, I feel soo dizzy and can barely move"
"What happened?"
"Can you please come over"
"At your door"
He opens the door weakly and I feel his forehead, its soo hot, he can barely stand. He stumbles and I support him, he winces and abruptly sits on the floor and curls up putting his head on his knees. I rub his back and sit there next to him as he agonizes in pain every few seconds, not gathering the courage to get up. "hey what happened, you were fine in the morning" I ask softly. He gathers the courage to speak and says "I don't know, I was fine when I went to buy some stuff from the market, ah, I was fine when I was finishing up some work, but then mmph, I felt this sharp pain around 10 and it just got worse", he groans loudly clenching his stomach. I rub his back and wipe his face with my handkerchief.
I help him get up from the floor and take him to his room and heat some soup for him and give him another dose of medicine before nursing him with a wet cloth till his fever has come down. He is in soo much pain he can barely breathe. "Should I call a doctor? You really look sick and I'm very worried now", "No, I'm pretty sure I'll be well by tomorrow, you can go home, thank you for coming and taking care of me". I wave him goodbye But he lets out a loud groan and curls up in the bed. I rush towards him and Rub his back comforting him, and tell him "You are sick, I cannot leave you like that, I'll leave once you fall asleep"
I sit on his chair reading and I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning I was in Noah's bed and Noah wasn't there. I woke up abruptly and frantically started looking for him. Seeing Noah sleep on the couch gives me a sense of relief and a feeling which shouldn't be there. I head over to him and check his temperature it's normal, he shudders and wakes up. "I feel soo good," he says.
I go to my house take a shower and change my clothes when I head over to his house he is dressed up and looking soo much better. He opens the door and hugs me, I hug him back. Noah whispers in my ear "Can I take you on a date sometime?"
"Only if you don't cry like a baby when we break up, think about neighbours" we both laugh.
I check his temperature again and he is better. "Would you like some coffee?"
"Yes of course, never say no to coffee"
I go and make coffee, I come back only to find him holding his stomach again, he gives me a faint smile "I I I didn't mean to bother you anymore but oof I can't, I am sorry mmph." He winces and tears up, "I can't ahh, my stomach hurts aah, oof," he says shakily and he really couldn't stand up, I hurriedly grab his shoes and my keys and help him down the elevator to my car, he looks miserable, he was fine just now, I reverse my car and rush to the hospital "oof, you wanna kill me before I reach there". I pat his thigh but he grabs my hands and squeezes it, then keeps it on his stomach and rubs my hand lightly on it. We reach the hospital and I take him to the er, the doctor checks him and prescribes some medicines, they give him an injection for the pain and fever and guide me through the prescriptions. They say he has a virus and he'll be ok in a day or two. I take him back home and clear his bed and carefully place him. " Aren't you an angel, can you stay here with me?"
"Since you already asked me on a date I will"
"Go get your things I don't want you to get bored"
I go and get my book and my laptop
I gesture with his fingers asking me to come to him he holds my hand "you have magical hands, they are just so comforting"
I fall asleep with him holding my hand, I wake up and give him his medicines. After nursing him for another day we finally went on our first date. He held my hands throughout
