F*ck money we want love (Kellic)

7. I don't care if you're sick

Kellin's POV

I lay on the couch, my whole body in total agony. My head was pounding, my throat was on fire, and although my temperature was high I was freezing.

"Kellin, Catherine called to ask if you still want to go on that date." Nick says making my head ache more.

"Shhh and yes I do." I lie. I absolutely didn't but I had to. We were going on another "secret" date. We were going to go out of town to some lake or whatever that my parents who "know what's best" planned.

"Kellin you're tired, you can't even get up without collapsing, and your temperature is at an all time high! I am not allowing you to go. So just get some rest and I'll call mrs Catherine and send her some earrings or something to make up for it." He said firmly. I could have argued but I just really didn't want to. The date sounded more painful than being sick and I just wanted to sit here in total agony so I mumble a 'fine'.

"Okay good. Now, I'm going to go run some errands so don't do anything to extreme while I'm gone and if you need anything just call me." He said and walked out the door.

I grabbed the thin blanket and tugged it over my shoulders. I may be burning hot but I was freezing. I closed my heavy eyelids and attempted to sleep but I couldn't. I tossed and turned but my body wouldn't give in. I sighed and decided to get up. I warped my blanket around me and headed outside to do some work that I had to finish. Nick certainly wouldn't approve but I can't sleep and I have to get this done.

I walk out through the back door and continue to walk, although the bright light didn't exactly help with my dizziness.

My office was in a separate building so I could get my "privacy " but in reality I just didn't want to get caught when Nick would do my work for me. I made it over to the building but was interrupted by a voice.

"Kellin? What are you doing out here you're sick."

"No I'm not I'm fine leave me alone Vic." I snap. We hadn't really talked since I told him I wanted to forget the kiss. We said hey like once or twice but honestly it was just so awkward and I had to restrain myself from kissing him. He looked absolutely stunning today. He had a thing coat of sweat that made him appear to be glowing, he had a sleeveless shirt that I so didn't approve of because it showed of his arms which were crossed over his chest. He looked amazing, and then there was me. The pale sickly kid who looked like I just woke up in the dumpster. I had sweats and a black hoodie on, not to mention the bags under my eyes messy hair and the blanket wrapped around me. I wanted to run away and hide from his hotness so I decided to turn around and open the door to my office.

"No Kellin I'm not blind I can tell you're sick. Plus Nick told me to take care of you while he's gone."

I groan. "He would, but I'm fine. You forget you are my employe and my age so you have no power over me." I say and attempt to walk away but he grabs my arm.

"Look I didn't want it to have to come to this but.. If you walk away from me I'll tell people you kissed me." He said. He was bluffing? He had to be bluffing!

"You wouldn't dare. No one would believe you." I say through gritted teeth. This conversation was taking too much energy I didn't have.

"You wanna test me and find out?" He smirked cockily. Fuck him and that smirk. "Whatever." Is all I say before I am being dragged off. He was walking towards another building but was going way too fast. "Where are you taking me? Vic! Slow down." I croak because it hurt too much to yell.

He opens the door and I see he brought me to our recreation room. We have a movie theater, bowling, a hot hub and other stuff in here. None of which I was in the mood to hang in right now.

"What are we-" I begin but he brings his finger to my lips.
"Stop talking or you'll lose your voice. Now go lie down on the recliner in the movie theater and I'll be there in a second." He says. Ugh this guy does too much. He knows he can leave me right? He won't loose his job or anything and I'll be fine. So why is he still here?

"Okay mom" I mumble and do as he says. The black recliner was actually more comfortable than my couch but I still couldn't sleep. It was kind of dark in here despite a few lamps but the screen spread across the whole wall in front of me

I saw Vic come up to me and sat on the recliner next to me. He picked up the arm rest and I turned over to face him. He had a bottle in his hand, two spoons and what looked like ramen in his hand. I didn't even know we had any of that in here. I knew we had like some snacks and a microwave but I never came in here too often because I was alone most of the time and I didn't see how I could enjoy this place alone.
He takes one of the spoons and pours whatever is in the bottle into it. "Here take this." He said.

"What is it." I ask suspiciously.

"Relax I'm not gonna poison you its medicine." He smiles. And I take the spoon and drink the nasty tasting liquid. "Ew what the hell just poison me next time." I cringe but he only chuckles.
"Here now eat some of this while I put on a movie." He says and I obey.

The soup was good. The hot sauce or whatever was in there made my throat feel a bit better but I wasn't too hungry. I looked at the screen that was starting to light up and before I knew it Vic was pacing back over to the recliner.

"What movie is this?" I ask. Honestly I was kinda scared he would put on something in Spanish and I would be confused and bored. "My favorite, Wayne's world" he smiles.

"Hm never heard of it." I shrug and he dramatically gasped. "How do you live. Just watch it and if you can fall asleep." He says and the movie begins to play. I knew if have to watch it because sleeping was a lost cause.

*-*-*

I ate my soup and occasionally looked up to the movie. It was actually a really good movie and I probably would enjoy it more if I wasn't practicality knocking on heavens door although after Vic forced another dose of that disgusting medicine I felt better. He was good at taking care of me. He would take my temperature, make me laugh, and often gave me water so I could hydrate or whatever.

"Are you cold?" Vic asks as I shivered. "Just a little," I croak. He moves the arm rest between us and opens his arms gesturing for me to lie in them.

"Do you want to get sick too?" I ask.

"I don't care if you're sick just lie down." He replied. I hesitated but eventually gave in. He wrapped his strong arms around me having me feel both protected and warm. I liked it.

"You're good at this you know." I say looking up into his deep brown eyes. he gives me a questioning look. "Taking care of sick people" I clarify.

"Yeah well I have to be," he sighs and then it's my turn to give him a questioning look. "It's nothing... Just like I take care of Mike and stuff." He says and I nod.

"Hey you think it's dark out yet?" I ask as the movie slowly comes to an end. I felt somewhat better but not a whole lot. I was no longer nauseous and the burning in my throat has died down a bit so I could finally speak up.

"Uhm yeah probably. why?" He asks.

"Come with me." I say and tug on his hand. He gets up and follows close behind me. I hadn't done this in a while and I was kind of excited. I used to love this growing up so I ran up there like a child on Christmas.
