I unlocked the door to Jacob's apartment and called out his name. His response was a loud groan in pain, causing me to frown and walk up to his room.
When I walked in, his head was held back in pain and he was sweating a lot, holding his stomach. I took him to the doctor this morning before I went to work, who said he had a bad cold and you could tell he felt horrible.
"How you doing, babe? Feel any better?"
His head slightly shook, and he groaned in pain again.
"Did you eat?"
He croaked out a quiet no.
"Do you want something?"
He nodded in response.
"Ok," I told him, getting a towel to wipe his face off, before kissing his cheek.
I went down to his kitchen and searched through his fridge for food, but I didn't find much. The only thing worth giving him was ritz crackers and a glass of ginger ale to even out his stomach.
I went back to his room with the food in hand, and he sat up, getting ready to eat. I sat down next to him, but he hugged me, bringing me into his lap. He rested his chin on my shoulder, taking a deep breath, before pulling away again.
"I missed you. " He said quietly before opening his mouth to eat 1 of the crackers I fed to him.
I nodded. "I was worried about you. " I told him, grabbing the glass of soda and holding it out for him. "Here, you have to drink as much as possible, ok?"
He grabbed the glass and threw it back, drinking almost half of it, and then scrunched his face up.
I laughed a little. "It's not a shot, Jacob."
He shrugged, wrapping his hands around my waist, closing his eyes. I continued to feed him until the crackers were gone, in a comfortable silence.
"Are you still tired?"
He nodded and I moved off of him so he could lay down. I was going to just let him be, until he grabbed my hand, stopping me in place.
"Stay with me."
I nodded, quickly taking off my apron from work, and then got back in the bed, cuddling up next to him. I waited until I heard his light snores fill the room before lightly removing his arm from around my waist, to get up and hop in the shower.
I would usually wait until I got back to my place to shower, but it's pretty obvious that I'm not going to leave Jacob by himself when he's feeling like this.
I stripped out of my clothes and got in the water, letting it fall over me and wash off today's events.
I washed my hair and the rest of my body before getting out of the water, quickly drying off.
I walked back into Jacob's room, seeing him sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"What's wrong babe? I thought you were sleep?"
"I was. I needed you here though, I sleep better then. " He said in a deep, tired voice.
I smiled, putting on one of the bras I left here and one of his big t-shirts, and climbing right back into his bed.
"Better?" I asked.
He mumbled a yes, falling almost immediately back to sleep.

I woke up a couple hours later, at around 10:30, and got up to use the bathroom.
When I got back, Jacob was sitting upright, doing something on his phone.
