I feel a strong wave of nausea that comes after a experience debilitating pain for an hour. The intensity of the pain also transferring to my back. I try to ignore the nausea but that turns out to be a fail as I run to the bathroom and everything comes out. I don't even know what everything is because I last had food at the restaurant.
Stefan follows me and I feel him rubbing my back as he tries to hold my hair back for me. I continue to vomit until I feel weak so he helps me up when I'm done.
Stefan: come, let's go to bed.
He picks me up and tucks me in before wiping my tears away.
Stefan: I'm sorry.
He sits down next to me again and rubs my back in an attempt to calm me down. I feel bad because he is rubbing his eyes which shows that he is tired.
Stefan: it's okay, it's okay.
07:22
I am woken up by a beautiful aroma of pancakes and breakfast so I head downstairs where I find Stefan and Ivy chatting it up in the kitchen while he makes breakfast.
Stefan: you didn't have to, I was going to bring it up to you.
Me: it's okay. I want to brush my teeth and take a shower though.
Stefan: I have some extra toiletries in one of the shelves in my bathroom.
Me: okay. Ivy!
She runs towards me and I pick her up.
Ivy: how are you? Angel is sick?
She says before patting my face to feel my temperature.
Me: no, Angel is not sick.
I put her down and head upstairs where I freshen up and wear one of his hoodie with the pyjama pants from last night.
I head back downstairs and we have breakfast in silence. After breakfast, Stefan and I wash the dishes while one of the helpers cares for Ivy.
Stefan: let me talk to you.
Me: you can talk.
He holds me hand and leads me up to his room where he asks me to take a seat on the bed which I have already made.
Stefan: listen, I am tired of trying to ignore it. having you in my arms last night just made the feeling even worse. I felt so warm in my heart and I don't ever want to lose that warmth. I like you, Angel. I really do and I am tired of pretending that I don't.
Me: you hurt me though.
Stefan: I know. I know and I am so sorry. I will do thing differently this time, I promise.
Me: what now?
Stefan: please be mine.
Me: I don't know.
Stefan: I know you feel it too. when I am around you, everything feels lighter and I enjoy being around you. Angel, please think about it.
Me: I will think about it.
Stefan: I know I messed up but-
He looks at me with his eyebrows furrowed.
Stefan: what did you say?
Me: I will think about it.
One of the helpers walks in.
Stefan: I'm guessing you don't know how to knock anymore?
Her: I apologise, sir. I would just like to inform you that there are men that are looking for you downstairs.
Stefan: I will be right back.
He exits along with the lady. Nikki calls me...
Nikki: you little rascal! I told you that you wouldn't come back!
Me: come on, it was not planned. I got my period last night at the restaurant and he took care of me all night.
Nikki: took care of you?
Me: I will tell you everything when I get back, in detail.
Nikki: what else happened?
Me: he asked me to be his girlfriend and I told him I would think about it.
Nikki: are you insane?! why would you agree to that? you are allergic to men.
