A Love Like The Stars In The Sky

Chapter 15

Ziva Asinobi's POV

This is torture.

I'm on my period and I feel like I want to shoot the next available fucker that gets on my nerves.

My head is aching, my breasts are swollen and I think my cramps are akin to contractions and I wish I was joking.

Bloating, swollen feet, throwing up, headaches, fatigue and period shits every month and all because my X chromosome was met by another X instead of a Y.

Fucking hell.

I had a long day at the restaurant today.

Thankfully, I don't have any big catering jobs this week, so I'm happy.

I have just stepped back into my apartment and my shoes are already kicked off and I'm reaching under my shirt to immediately snatch off my bra off.

I fling it onto the coffee table and I flop down onto the couch, reaching for the remote.

I don't even want to cook...

But am I feeling for Chinese food or Mexican food?

I continue scrolling, when I get a call.

I'm about to decline it with noise-barrier-breaking speed, when I clock who it is.

"Tobias" I greet.

"Sunshine" he drawls, making me giggle.

"Sunshine?" I ask, 'mocking' his Southern drawl.

"Yes, baby. You're my sunshine aren't you?" He asks and I nearly swoon.

I can be anything he wants me to be.

But I need to be strong!

"I'm not your anything till you ask me, doc" I tell him.

"Speak things as if they are and they will be" he responds immediately.

"Not you quoting the bible!" I giggle.

"Welcome to death row baby" he says back.

I laugh at him.

"How was your day, honey?" He asks me.

"A little tough" I confess.

"Cramps are a bitch, but it's nothing I can't handle" I continue.

"Have you eaten?" He ask.

I nod as if he can see him, putting him on loud speaker so that I can continue scrolling through my phone to decide what I want to eat.

"I'm scrolling. I don't know whether I want to treat myself to Mexican food or Chinese food." I say.

He hums thoughtfully.

"My brother put me on to this Mexican place last year. How do you feel about Birria tacos?" He asks.

"Ouu I love them! Send me the name of the place." I tell him.

"You'll see it when the bag arrives" he says.

"What?!" I ask.

"I've ordered some to your house. And I don't know which smoothie you like so you can share the ones you don't like with your friends" he says.

"You got all of them?!" I ask.

"Calm down. I got the 4 most popular." He says as if that's still not a stupid amount to spend.

"Tobias it's literally fine! You don't need to- -"

"I also ordered some stuff from the convenience store for you so make sure you relax okay?" He informs, cutting me off.
