Our Little Secret

Part 22

~Scarlett~ (7:45 a.m.)

I had hoped for a peaceful morning, but that was definitely not going to happen.

I feel my stomach rumble aggressively and assume that it's from me not eating, but I gag and run to the bathroom faster than lightning.

I throw up in the toilet and the pressure of the vomit causes a sharp pain in my lungs.

Once I'm finished I hear Eddie coming into the bathroom and he immediately kneels down to my level.

"Sweetheart are you okay?" he says rubbing my back as I try to catch my breath

"Y-Yeah I think so, maybe I caught a flu or something."

"Do you want to go to the doctors?"

I nod no.. I don't want to hear any bad news, so I rather wait this out and see if my body can just fight this on it's own.

"I'm worried Sweetheart, you've been feeling sick for a couple days now."

I reassure him "I'm sure its nothing severe, If I feel worse later I will call Robin to take me to the doctors."

He starts to get ready for work and I make a phone call to my house to see if anyone is awake yet, I needed to get my things. I wasn't bringing my bed or anything major, just my clothes and a couple other necessities.

The phone rings three times until finally my mom answers "Morning Honey, you're up bright and early."

"Hi mom, do you think you could help me move my stuff, it won't be much, but Eddie has to work and I feel really sick."

"Of course honey, is everything okay? Do you need to go to the doctors?" My mom says concerned

"No mom, I'll be fine. I'm gonna get ready and head over to the house so we can move my things."

"Gotcha, see you then honey."

She hangs up and I see Eddie leaned against our bedroom door, god he looks handsome.

His hair is frizzy from our slumber but he's already placed it in a man bun, his V-line is visible as his pajama pants are slowly below his boxers, and he has a gentle smile that's making my insides turn into oatmeal.

"You know you're actually beautiful right?" I say

"Oh please.. says the blueprint of beauty."

Did he just call me the blueprint?

I want to marry this man right now.

He comes up to me and grips my waist softly, he plants a kiss on my forehead and brings me in for a hug "I'm so happy."

I fall into his chest a little more "I'm happy too. Living with you always seemed like a dream that I could never fulfill, but here we are."

He looks at me and smiles "Little Eddie is jumping for joy right now."

I giggle "I bet he is."

He goes onto to get ready for work, and I get ready to head over to my mom's. Money was really good for Eddie so he really didn't want me to get a job. Besides, he actually enjoyed his job, so it made things much better financially.

Its been two days since I've been able to stomach something, so I attempt to eat a bagel with butter, thankfully it stays down.. for now at least.

What the fuck is wrong with me? I have never felt a sickness like this..

I finish getting ready and Eddie has already headed off for work, I get going to my moms house, but before I can step out of the door our phone begins to ring.
