Just a nurse

Too sick

And I kept my word.
I behaved.

After about one month I was allowed to work again.
It helped me a lot.
After all I loved my job.
I started with getting the infirmary on track.

To teach new recruits that were interested.
Some of them were really good.
Quick learners.

I soon had a very good going infirmary.
I was a little proud of myself.

For my luck Phillip had a lot of missions and meetings. So the „dates" were pretty much cancelled a lot.
But when we had them he was so clingy.
He asked me a lot of questions.

How I felt, what I did the week, who helped me, if I wanted to complain about anyone, if I needed anything.

In every other situation I would have considered it cute.
But not like this.

Everytime we walked around base together or spend time together he tried to come close to me.
I felt like throwing up.

After every date I cried myself to sleep.

It made me painfully aware of my situation.
And the thought of Simon were stronger than ever in these days.

I thought about him every day.
If he was searching for me.
If I would ever see him again.
Kiss him again.

But after 6 months my hopes faded.
How were they supposed to find me?

It had been a hell of a week.
Many injuries.
And I felt quite exhausted.
I first thought it was just the stress but I quickly figured that I had gotten sick.

On this evening should be one of the dates.
But I really didn't felt like it.
He would be so pissed.
So instead of sending Dustin or Vincent to tell him I decided to tell him myself.

I waddled over the hallway in my pyjamas and a thick hoodie.
I gently knocked on Phillips door.

It took some time until the door opened.
He looked a little pissed until he saw me.

„Princess. What are you doing here? It's not time already is it?"

He looked at his watch.

„No no. I just. Well I wanted to ask if we could reschedule this. I really don't feel well Phillip"

I looked up to him with glassy eyes.
The cold air on the hallway made me feel even more wasted.
His face softened visibly and he held a hand on my forehead.

„Oh Princess. You're glowing. No no you should definitely rest. Can I get you anything"

„I no I think I'm-„

I couldn't finish my sentence.
I felt dizzy.
I blinked and stumbled slightly.
He catched me instantly and picked me up.

„Oh god. No no I'm not gonna leave you alone."

„Phillip I can do this on my own."

I mumbled exhausted.
This seemed to be more serious than I thought.
I could barely keep my eyes open.
I didn't even tried to resist him.
I had no strength for it.

„I'm gonna take care of you. Don't worry"

he whispered to me.
He carried me inside and gently let me down on his couch.
He threw a blanket over me.
I almost instantly dozed off.
I woke up not much later as he picked me up again.

„Phillip what are you doing"

I said weak.

„I'm taking care of you"

he said low and carried me into his bathroom.
His bathroom was huge.

Everything with white Marmor.
Exactly what I had expected.
Next to a big beautiful shower was a huge bathtub.
I could have drowned in that thing.

He had already run a bath.
It was filled with bubbles.
I blinked confused.
I looked up to him.

„Phillip I -„

„No discussions miss. Don't worry I won't look. Just get in"

he said and put me down.
He turned around and waited patiently until I had undressed myself and had sunken into the bathtub.

This actually felt like heaven.
I leaned my head back.
I was fully covered by the bubbles so I didn't mind as he turned back around.
He sat down next to the bathtub and looked at me.

„Better?"

„A bit"

I mumbled.
I had no concentration or mind to think about this all. I was just happy in this moment that I wasn't alone.

That he seemed to care.
Besides the whole situation he made the effort.
I had to give him at least this point.
But maybe it was just my fever speaking for me.

„How do you feel my Angel?"

He whispered softly and stroked through my hair.

„Weak"

I mumbled.
He actually looked concerned.

„I won't leave your side. I promise"

he whispered and placed a kiss on my head.
I looked at him with glassy eyes.
As much as I despised the whole situation I appreciated this moment.

„Thank you"

I offered him a small smile.
I tried to sit up a bit but he stopped me.

„Wait no"

„No it's fine Phillip"

I sat up.
I wasn't minding if he saw me naked or not.
I was confident enough.

He sighed at my sight.
I rubbed over my face and groaned.

"I feel like shit"

„It's ok Princess."

he said soft.
I could see how he brought up every strength to look into my face and not at my boobs.
I was too weak.
I sunk back down and groaned.

„Come here"

he helped me to wash my hair and get cleaned.
This bath made me even more sleepy.
I was too weak.

I let him help me out the bathtub and dry me.

He got me some of his clothes.
In his boxers and a hoodie from him he carried me into his bedroom.

He layed me down and tucked me in.
He hesitated but then layed down next to me.

„Phillip you're gonna get sick too"

I groaned.

„I don't care. I said I'm not gonna leave you alone. I'm here if you need me"

He scooted over to the other side of his big bed.

As much as I hated him I really appreciated all this. And right now I had the feeling to need someone.
I didnt wanted to be alone right now.
I looked over through half open eyes.

„Can you come back?"

I whispered low.
He looked over and I could see how he tried to hide his smile.
He scooted back over.
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into him.
The heat of his body caused my eyes to close completely.

„Thank you"

I mumbled right before I drifted off into a deep sleep.
