Avery POV

I was looking through today's foundation report that Grayson emailed me when my phone rang...

"Hello, Avery speaking"

"Well hello, Avery your boyfriend is apprehensive about you..." said a voice I knew only too well.

"Jameson maybe give me like....... an hour and I will be home," I said looking around my cluttered desk. My head was throbbing from the fever but I still had to finalize the documents and hand them over to Alisa, and then I had to send Grayson the details for the charity fund........I might have given him the wrong time.

"Heiress, I am not giving you a choice you have a high fever and all this work can wait....you have to take care of yourself," he said over the phone I could feel his worry for me.

"Jameson, come on you know the entire foundation is depending on me......"

".....and that foundation works for you and can live without you" I heard his voice behind me and turned just as he was saying.

".....but I can't," he said the smirk missing from his face. I got up and made my way towards him but I wasn't stable because of my throbbing head. 

"See you can't even walk properly," he said wrapping an arm around my waist. I knew exactly what he was doing if I got too comfortable, I would forget about all the work.

"Jameson, give me an hour," I said pleading with him.

"No," he said his eyes firm leaving no room for me to argue. But just then my legs refused to cooperate and I would have fallen over before Jameson caught me and sat me down on the couch in my office.

"Avery?" I looked at him....he was....scared? why was Jameson scared, he was fearless.

"If not for you, please come home for me.....I can't sleep, I can't eat every minute I'm worried about you........... Please heiress take a leave for a week and let me take care of you......" he said pushing a strand away from my face.

"I need to be by your side in sickness and health. Otherwise what kind of partner would I be unable to stop you from overworking?" He said picking me up.

It hurt him......looking at me sick and now it hurt me. He was right though I was on the verge of passing out, I looked into his deep green eyes which were full of concern for me.....

"Let's go home and rest," I said as I nuzzled against his warm chest. He gave me a warm smile and carried me to the SUV. I must have fallen asleep because I was woken up by Jameson brushing hair away from my face again.

"Heiress take your medicine before you fall asleep," he said holding out pills and water.

I slowly got up with Jameson supporting my entire body. I swallowed the medicine and just as he was about to leave, I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back onto the bed.

"Stay?" I asked him supporting my head with his chest.

"Never, thought of leaving," he said as he pulled me close. As sleep slowly came and for once I did not fight it but let it consume me.

I woke up to Jameson coughing.....

"Jameson, are you ok?" I asked as I quickly got up and placed my hand on his forehead. He was burning up literally, I pulled my hand away because of the heat.

He chuckled which sounded painful and said "I think I took 'In sickness and in Health' too seriously........." I chuckled as pulled him back into bed. Both of us need to rest now...............

A/N

Heyyyyyyyy all.......I don't think this chapter was my best. I haven't had any good mind-blowing brainwave I wanted to write about. I think I'm going to brainstorm I want to write something about cooking because neither of them knows how to cook and might become a disaster which I think could be fun, Let me know if that's something y'all wanna read.

Feel free to give me ideas and point out any mistakes because I am prone to spelling mistakes........
