Diya's pov
Theo carried me into bed last night after we fucked and I went to sleep with a smile on my face.

Nothing sorts your life out like dick.

This morning, I woke up to see him buttoning on a work shirt while I was naked under the covers.

"hi babygirl. can you grab Nik from Ken's place today? Her nurse is over there and I'd like to know the details about if she was really sick"

"she was" I yawned, trying to wake up a bit more.

"where are you going?" I questioned as Theo placed some rings on his fingers. I knew the answer but I didn't want to hear it.

"the office. I think I'm gonna stay late today"

"I bet you will" I mumbled. I held a blanket over my exposed body until I could grab one of his button ups to keep me warm.

"hm? What was that?" He pressed.

"I just thought things would be different Athello. You have no reason to work so damn hard- you own the company."

Theo put a finger up as he received a call from Ken. I sighed in response.

"Hey kid. Feeling better?... that's great. I'm sorry that-"

I zoned out from their conversation as I felt myself get nauseous again. Please no. Not right now.

I had done such a good job hiding all my nausea from him. It was such unnecessary stress for him to witness. I tip toed to the bathroom, leaving the door an inch open as I rushed to open the toilet seat.

I kneeled in my famous position while I sat there dizzy.

"-I swear Nik! Yess, I'll make it up to you with McDonald's!"

Theo chuckled while he entered the bathroom before noticing me on the ground.

"I'm gonna call back. Ok? Love you" he hung up in one swift motion, kneeling beside me in no time.

(WARNING:VOMIT)

"what's wrong princess?"

"Nauseous" was all I could say while I squeezed my eyes shut.

I ended up spitting into the toilet followed by a bit of regurgitation. I struggled to throw up a bit of nothing as Theo rubbed my back lovingly.

He helped me up so I could brush my teeth once I finished.

"did you drink yesterday?" Theo questioned.

"This isn't new. It's been happening...for a while" I slowly replied after spitting out mouthwash into the sink.

"so why is it that I'm just now hearing about this?"

"When else was I suppose to tell you?" I questioned.

"Look baby... I don't want to fight. I'm just concerned. Could you be....pregnant?"

"no. I'm on the pill. It's my anxiety."

Theo nodded. He wrapped his arms around my waist as he towered over me in front of the mirror.

"I'm sorry that I didn't know about this sooner" he gave me an innocent kiss on my forehead.

"It's okay. I should've told you. I just feel like you haven't been here"

"I'll tell you what... what if we spend the whole day together? We'll stop by Ken's, check in with the nurse and then do what ever you want."

I felt butterflies at the idea of getting Theo to myself all day. He was so busy at times that it felt like my crush was finally saying yes to a date.

"I would honestly love that" I admitted. I turned around to look up at a smiling Theo.

"Perfect. So what do you want to do today my beautiful girl?"
