Paging Dr. Vulcano

Chapter 27

Faith rolled over flinging an arm out noticing that Sal wasn't holding her like he normally was in the mornings when they woke up. With her arm on his side of the bed not making contact with him, she flailed her arm around in attempts to find him without fully waking up. With a grunt of annoyance, she opened her eyes looking to the nightstand where her phone should have been. Instead there was a note scratched onto the back of his plane ticket.

Hey Beautiful,
I have your phone downstairs with me. I didn't want any alarms or notifications to disturb you, but promise to bring it back up to you if anything important happens. My phone is on my dresser if you need the time.
I love you, Champ

P.S. Last night was hot, I really like Mrs. Desperate.
P.P.S. So does SJ.

Faith could only chuckle, putting down the note in her bedside drawer (that note was getting kept), she rolled over to the side of the bed to look at Sal's phone for the time. 11:30 am. She couldn't remember the last time she slept in this late. She went to look at Sal's phone but noticed the screensaver. She never knew he took a photo of her in bed like that. Not that she cared, she thought it was sweet. It was just unlike him to keep such a personal albeit slightly revealing photo for the world to see. She grabbed his phone and got out of bed. Once she stood up, she felt a big cramp wave hit her and knew she would be in for a long day.

A few minutes later, Faith ventured out of their bedroom with new pjs on and her favorite blanket wrapped around her shoulders. Unfortunately, anyone who saw her could clearly see she was in "hermit mode". She shuffled down the stairs looking for Sal. Once in the kitchen, Sal turned around to face her sliding a cup of coffee across the counter to her

"Figured it had been too long since your last caffeine dose, Babe."

"Thank you." She said with doe eyes telling him everything he needed to know. "and thank you for last night."

"Which part?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Well all of it of course, but thank you for taking care of me. I'm sorry again that happened."

"Love, you have nothing to be sorry for. It happens. I should have figured it would have if I would have looked at your cycle, but to be completely honest I didn't care either way. I was WAY too turned on to care."

"So was I if I'm being honest. But that does make sense, I do usually get pretty needy and horny right before I start. I just chalked it up to long distance." She said bringing her coffee cup up to take another gulp.

"How are you feeling?"

"Eh, I've been better. I'll take some more Pamprin and be ok." Faith got pretty awful periods, usually after stressful months and vet school had lots of those. "Honestly, I'm surprised I started when I did. Usually, it waits until the stress let down after grades are in."

"Well we can have a lazy day. I don't have anything today and I know you're on break now. Want to go pick a movie and I'll figure out some food for us?"

"Sure. Also here's your phone. Cute screensaver, didn't know you took that."

"It's my favorite picture. Took it on our honeymoon after I ruined you for anyone else."

"I see that. And you sure did. I'm pretty partial to my two men."

"Two?" Sal asked with knitted eyebrows.

"Well yeah, You and of course SJ who I wanted to take my virginity and he did." Faith said with a laugh.

"AH well we both are very happy you are our wife." Sal said kissing her and then walking to the fridge attempting to figure out some food for them.
