Thirty-One *Edited*

Ellie 

It was Early Friday morning when Leo shook me awake. I awoke groggily and slowly opened my eyes. 

"Pet, come on we gotta get to the airport. We have a long day ahead of us." He whispered 

I got up, very aware of my dizzy state and trudged to the bathroom. I was so excited for this trip that I could barely hold it in. I hadn't told Leo... but I still didn't feel all that great being under the weather and all. In fact my throat was sore and my head was spinning. I gripped the sink  trying to keep my spinning vision at bay. Once I got my bearings, I brushed my teeth and then got dressed in Leo's bedroom. When I was done, I was bending down to grab my bag when I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I took some deep breaths and got the nausea to stop, but my head still of spun out of control. 

"You okay?" I heard Leo ask me 

"Huh? Oh yes, I am fine." 

He took the bag from my hands easily and looked at me once more. 

"You sure you're okay? You look a little gray." 

"Yes, I'm fine." 

He bent down to kiss me on the lips and at the last second, I turned to the side and he kissed my cheek. He gave me a questioning look, but didn't say anything as he pulled away from me and walked out of the open front door to the car. I started to silently panic. All I had to do was make it to the plane and then I would tell the truth. He came back in and looked me over. 

"You look good as always." He smiled 

"Thank you. And of course you do too, as always." I smiled bashfully. 

I walked over to him and hugged him tightly. 

"Kitten what's the matter? Are you ok?" 

"I'm fine. I just wanted a hug." 

He kissed my head and stroked it a couple of times. It freak me out....I hope he didn't notice my warm forehead.

"Then let's get going. Grab some fruit or something."

Thank God! Okay, all I had to do was get to the plane and then I was home free. 

I ran to the kitchen and did just that.  I grabbed a Granny Smith apple and an orange for him. Then I left the house making sure the door was locked. Everything was dizzy until I got onto the plane and we settled into our plush individual seats. We even had our own personal cocoon where we sat across from the other. I thought that when I had woken up a little and had a little to drink that I would be fine, but of course I wasn't. I felt bad and I was so dizzy. 

"Come here Ellie." I heard Leo say, concern lacing his voice.
