"Where are we going Sean?" I ask for the hundredth time. I was growing impatient by the minute.

"I told you it's a surprise... Now go to sleep sweetheart. You'll need it tonight." he said without taking his eyes off the road.

I was frustrated.

After that little scene in the morning, I thought he would touch me more. Hell, at least talk to me more. Make me feel those amazing feelings I only read about in books.

But he hasn't even turned to look at me. I mean, yes he's holding my hand now while driving but that's something that usually happens. I thought something more. Something naughty.

But no. Nothing has happened. Nothing has changed. I just feel like I needed his attention. At least a quarter of the scenarios I'd imagined last night need to come true. I wanted him to touch me, kiss me and tell me he loves me like he always does with that charming smile and deep eyes.

But I guess he has other plans.

Just a few minutes after he walked out he came back and told me that we're going out and that I should pack for four or five days. Then he just showers and packs a bag for himself and walks out telling me that breakfast was on the table. I wasn't in the mood to eat so I just closed my plate containing pancakes and left it on the table.

After about half an hour he told me to get into his car and that's when we started this journey. We were going somewhere quite special I guess for he usually drops in a clue about where we're going but this time he's not done that.

What's wrong with him? Why is he acting so cold? I don't know.

But it hurts.

I guess should just listen to him and fall asleep.

Sean's POV

She's sleeping.

It was now three in the afternoon and we'd been driving for almost five hours.

Her small figure was in a fetal position, with her legs on the seat, knees pulled in hugged by her tiny hands, as she leaned against the closed window. She looked so peaceful, something I hadn't seen for almost two months, with her stressing over exams, then her sickness. But even with that look she can't fool me.

Her long intake of breath, her shifting in the seat, her sudden whimpers, I've seen them all. This week she's been fine but, then again you never know.

I distract myself from her, concentrating on driving. I've been trying to do it from the morning, trying to stay away from her so that I don't push her into something she doesn't want. I have to admit it was so fucking hard, what can I say, my girlfriend is irresistible.

"Ah..." my heart was in my throat when I heard her in pain. I pulled up by the side and got out of the car. I went over to her seat, lifted her and shifted her to my lap.

"Sweetheart... What's wrong?"

"My stomach... It hurts..." she whispers and points to her abdomen, it rips my heart to see her in pain.

"Didn't have breakfast... Ah.... Sean... It hurts..." she tries to explain but in the pain her words can't even be heard. Why didn't she have breakfast?

My fault, I should've stayed with her and made sure she ate well and give her all the love she deserved. Fuck holding myself back, my angel was more important.

Her eyes remain closed but her hands were clutching her stomach.

"Angel you want to empty your stomach?" I ask.

She just shook her head. Shit it must be hurting like hell.

"One sec princess... Just hold on..." I go over to the back and get my bag out. I pull out the medicine pouch and take out her tablets. I also take a bottle of water and another of fruit juice to her.

"Here first drink this angel..." I give her the juice bottle.

She drank about half the bottle then stopped. Then she opened her eyes and looked at me with a tired look. I was supporting the her body on mine and she was leaning into my chest.

"Sean... I love you..." she struggled with the pain and tears ran down her face as she said those words. This girl deserved my everything.

"I love you too my angel... You're my princess... My baby girl... I love you sweetheart..." I pull her closer but being careful as to not hurt her at the same time.

I made her take her pills and wrapped my jacket around her. She was already wearing hers but I decided she definitely needed the warmth.

She rested her hot head on my chest. I could feel her relaxing by the second and her grip around her abdomen loosened.

"Sean... I need to say something..." she started to sit up.

"Now sweetie, go to sleep and when it's time I'll wake you up and then we can talk okay.."

She nodded silently and drifted into deep sleep.

I put her on the back seat thinking she'll have more space there.

I went back to driving once my angel was nicely tucked in.

Damn holding back. I need to pay attention to her. I know it'll be even more hard to control myself but...

I will do it for my angel...
