Stuck On You

chapter 7: weisz needs to rest

chapter 7: weisz needs to rest

~weisz~

       Something I was hoping wouldn't happen while I'm on this trip ended up happening. I wake up, still feeling extremely exhausted despite getting a proper amount of sleep. However, the more I just lie in bed, the more I realize this isn't the lack of sleep type of exhaustion. It's just my body not wanting to do anything today.

       I sit up on the bed and take a few deep breaths, hoping this is just a short thing and not something that will be going on most of the day. The more time that passes make me realize it's probably going to be an all day kind of thing. It just happens, and I hate that it does.

       Reno wakes up soon enough and immediately asks, "Weisz, are you okay?"

       I nod. "Yeah, I'm fine."

       Reno can always tell when I'm lying, so he says, "And the truth?"

       I sigh. I just didn't want Reno to worry about me. It's not like something's imminently wrong with me. This is just a common side effect of my treatment. But I know I won't be able to hide it from Reno forever. "I really am fine. I just... don't think I'll be able to do what's on the schedule today."

       "We're just going to be doing some tours that only involves walking around," Reno says. "Nothing too extreme. Are you sure you're fine?"

       "I am, for the most part. It's just going to take a lot of effort for me to do stuff today, and I don't think I can handle it. It will probably be best for me to stay in the hotel room today."

       "Oh. Then I'll stay back with you."

       "Reno, I don't want you to miss out on the tour."

       "Okay, but I want to say back with you. Besides, and I know you don't want to hear it, it will probably be better for someone to stay with you to keep an eye on you. I'm not saying something is going to go wrong, but it's better to be safe than sorry."

       I know Reno's right. Both that I don't want to hear it and that it's better for someone to keep an eye on me. But I'd rather it be my boyfriend wanting to stay to keep an eye on me than a random stranger who I feel will coddle me. Reno doesn't coddle me. He just wants to stay in my presence.

       So I agree to it. I mean, even if I disagreed, Reno would stay back anyway, so I didn't get much say in this.

       "I'll go tell one of the teachers we'll be staying back today," Reno says, getting off of the bed to get dressed before heading downstairs to the lobby. "I'm going to get something to eat too. Wanna come or would you rather just stay here?"

       I want to at least leave the room, but I don't think I even have the energy for that. "I'm going to stay."

       "Okay. I'll bring something back for you."

       "I'm not hungry."

       "Then I'll bring something you can have later when you do get hungry."

       I smile my thanks at Reno, glad that he's not going to force me to eat something right now. Sure, he might make me try to eat something later on if I still tell him that I'm not hungry, but I won't be able to blame him. He and I both know it's best if I don't skip out on eating too much.

       After Reno gets changes, all while telling me I'm allowed to watch, he's about to leave the hotel room to head to the lobby when I ask if he can bring me some bottled water. I wish I could just drink tap water, but it's always best to avoid that when you're travelling abroad, especially when you have a weak immune system like me.

       Reno leaves, and he takes a bit of time to come back since he's going to be eating breakfast down there. When he returns, he has a sandwich, a few snacks, and a bottled water for me. He sets them on the nightstand on my side of the bed. I thank him, grabbing the water so I can drink some of it.

       Reno sits back down beside me on the bed. "I told Mrs. Bassow about us staying behind because you're not feeling too well. She's okay with it. She even said that if you're feeling better, we're allowed to take a walk around this part of the city if the tour groups aren't back yet."

       "I hope I feel better," I say. "I don't want to be stuck in the hotel room all day." I sigh and lie back down on the bed. "I was hoping I could go the whole trip without feeling this way, but I guess not."

       "So I'm guessing you're not up to having sex right now?"

       I grab one of the pillows on the bed and gently hit Reno with it. "Stop that."

       "What? It was an innocent question."

       "It wasn't an innocent question and you already know the answer to it, so there's no point of asking."

       "I know. I just wanted to get your reaction. It's a shame you're not blushing right now."

       "There's nothing to blush at."

       "Say, would you blush if I did a small ballet routine for you here?"

       I glare at Reno, but my cheek also decided to betray me by blushing profusely. "I don't have a fantasy of you doing ballet. Stop insinuating I do."

       "I mean, you did say you didn't have a leather jacket fantasy but I proved you wrong, so I kind of find it hard to believe you. Wait, I have a better idea. I could put a leather jacket on since I proved you wrong with that one. That would surely make you blush and even make you feel better."

       "Yes, because you wearing a leather jacket will totally make me feel better."

       "Okay, it won't make you feel better, but would it at least cheer you up?"

       I end up taking a few minutes to debate it. Of course seeing my amazingly hot boyfriend in a leather jacket will cheer me up, but the last thing I need is for Reno to have another excuse to tease me. 

       Oh, who am I kidding? He's going to tease me either way.

       "I mean, I'm not going to stop you if you want to put one on," I say.

       Reno just smiles at me and kisses me. "How about we watch a movie or something?"

       I smile back at him. "Sounds good."
