Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter 108 ~ Is He Back?

"Um...nothing much." I lied, I take a bite of my sandwich.

"You sure? Because you seem pretty jumpy." Maxi says

"I—...." i start to explain but I trail off, not knowing if I should really worry them with me. Yet again. "I need to go on my lunch break."

"Already?" Maxi questions, "It's only been 2 hours."

"He's right. You will have to go 5 hours without a break if you take it now." Chappo says

"Alright, well I'll eat my food while watching the water, then later I'll go on my break." I sigh slumming down in my seat.

After finishing my sandwich only 30 minutes go by when I start to feel it.

Oh god not again.

I feel my lunch rising up in my throat, I run to the garbage can and spew it all out. I groan getting tired of this sickness.

"Tess you alright?" I hear Chappo's voice from behind me

I spit in the garbage, "Yeah.." I say weakly barely having any energy.

"Is it normal for you to throw up during the day?" Maxi asks, "Don't they call it morning sickness?"

"Yes but sometimes pregnant women vomit more often. It depends on the person." I hear a new voice, Deano. "You alright sweetheart?" I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. But I keep throwing up after meals, the only one I kept down was dinner last night." I tell him

"Breakfast?"

"Threw that up too." I tell him sitting back down in my seat taking a drink of water.

"You might want to eat smaller portions of food but more often, and drink liquids with your food. But I'm no doctor, you might want to visit one." Deano tells me. "But maybe try out smaller meals for a day or two, and if there's no difference go to the doctor."

"Thanks." I smile, "You are the best. Who need to go to the doctor when I have you," I smile.

Deano chuckles giving a kind smile. "No problem kiddo." He puts a hand on my shoulder and gives it a squeeze. "Well I'll see you guys on my break."

"Alright see ya" I smile and Maxi and Chappo follow suit in my goodbyes

~~

After work I gather my stuff and head home saying goodbye to the boys in blue.

I get into my Jeep and head home,

I unlock my apartment door to see Harrison in the kitchen, his cheek still a bit swollen from his and Jake's fight. He stands in front of a pot of pasta sauce mixing it continuously.

"Hey baby! I'm making some pasta today,"

I chuckle giving him a light smile as I walk over to him.

He gives a peck on my cheek, "I missed you. Feels a bit weird being suspended from work and not being by your side."

I sigh sadly, "I know I missed you today too. Wish you were back at work with me." I set my stuff on the couch near by.

"Don't worry I will be in a couple of days." He tells me a big smile on his lips. He continues to stair the pasta sauce.

"I—...." I bite the side of my lip, "I saw Hayden today at the beach."

Harrison's eyes widen, "What?"

"But when I looked again he was gone....i think I'm seeing things." I tell him a small tear pricking my eyes.

"That's impossible he's in jail." Harrison turns the heat down on the stove and walks over to me taking my hand in his. "Are you sure you saw him? Because you said you thought you saw him at the grocery store yesterday."

"I'm not sure if I saw him or not, it was pretty dark." The stress of seeing Hayden rushes over me and tears start to well up in my eyes. "I—...." My voice breaks, I wipe the tears from my eyes. "Maybe I just need to start meditating or something."

Harrison gives a sad smile, "You don't have to worry you are safe here." Harrison gives me a small hug, "There's nothing to worry about, you are just stressed maybe that's why you are seeing him in places that he's not."

"That's what I'm thinking." I breathe in a shaky breath trying to calm myself.

"Well try not to think of it too much alright?" He rubs my back soothingly.

I nod and give a small smile, "Alright."

"For now let's just enjoy some pasta!" He shout clapping his hands together.

A chuckle escapes my lips as I look at the happy boy. "I bet it tastes great."

"Sit down I'll grab a plate for you." He tells me gesturing towards the chair from the kitchen.

"Awh thanks my future husband." I give him a big smile as I sit in my chair.

He lays the plate in front of me, "Eat up." He tells me giving a sly wink.

"You know it's dangerous winking at me." I giggle

"Oh is it now?" He smirks sitting down with his plate.

"Oh, I don't wanna ruin the mood, but I've been throwing up after I eat meals. Deano told me that I should eat smaller portions but more frequently and eat with liquids." I pause, "But Deano said I should see a doctor if the smaller portion doesn't work."

"Oh? How come you didn't tell me?" I questions

"Well it only started this morning, I can't seem to keep anything down for long."

"Hm. Well yeah will try the smaller meals, but if you are still throwing up please tell me right away."

"Okay I will."

"Wanna watch something on the tv?" Harrison ask putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

"Sure," I turn the tv on and go to Netflix. "Hey! Rio 2 is finally out on Netflix!" I shout in excitement as I've been waiting for this movie to come on Netflix as it came out in theatres 8 months ago in theatre.

"Really? I was waiting for it as well."

I laugh, "We are both kids at heart."

He sits next to me and I start the movie. I snuggle against Harrison laying my head on his shoulder. He gives a kiss on my forehead.

We decided on watching another movie after Rio but we both fell asleep halfway through it.

I awake suddenly hearing the phone ring. I shake Harrison awake, "Babe. Do you hear that? Do you hear the phone!"

He wakes up in a surprise, "Huh? What?"

"The phone! It's ringing."

"What?" He looks at me with a puzzled look. "I don't hear anything."

Time suddenly feels to stand still, I can only hear this?
