You sat at home on the couch, a hot water bottle on your stomach along with a blanket draped over your whole body and the tv playing quietly in front of you. You had your period and the cramps were way worse that usual.
Today you were meant to be seeing James, your boyfriend, but had cancelled just telling him you were sick and didn't want him to catch a cold too. You turned the tv back up as the adds finished and the show continued. There was practically nothing on at this hour so you were watching episode after episode of peppa pig. Peppa was saying something about jumping in muddy puddles with George but you were exhausted so not really paying attention. Lately sleep hadn't been coming easy, you weren't sure why. All you knew was that right now you couldn't keep your eyes open any longer, so you closed them and within seconds you were asleep.
You were dreaming about something that made absolutely no sense but that was interrupted by a knock on the door. You opened your eyes but remained laying on the couch in case you were just hearing things. Then the knock came again. You rolled off the couch all tangled up in the blanket and headed for the door. The curtains were still shut so you opened them and peeked out seeing James standing at the door. You opened the door and he had bags in his hands. "Hey babe, I don't know how you're feeling but I brung you some stuff to help I guess, I don't know I've got chocolate and candy and um fruit I don't know it's just good to eat healthy when you're sick, I've got some tissues too and well tampons in case you saying you were sick was just girl talk for your period um yeah. I've brung movies too, just to give you something to do." You smiled at how adorable he was being.
You stepped aside and told him to come in. He walked inside and put the bags filled with stuff on the bench. You dropped that blanket embracing him in a hug and mumbling a thank you and a "Don't worry I'm not contaminated with germs." He laughed and followed you into the lounge, still holding the DVDs. You put the first one in and the two of you snuggled up on the couch watching it until eventually you both fell asleep.
