How I Won Your Heart

Chapter 4: Don't Bother Me

I woke up the next morning feeling awful. My head was pounding and my throat felt like it had 1,000 tiny needles in it. I don't think I had ever felt this bad. 

I looked over to my nightstand to see what time it was and the time was 9 am. I saw a note left on the table so I picked it up and read it. 

Dear Anette, 

I went out to run some errands. I will be back around 3 pm. See you then. 

Sarah

Great, I was home alone and no one was there to help me. I tried to get up to get some water and medicine but I couldn't. My head started pounding and I decided it was best to stay in bed, but I really needed medicine. 

I didn't know what else to do, so I called John. I didn't want to bother him or anything but I just needed someone to talk to. I picked up the phone and dialed his number and after about the fourth ring he picked up.

"Hello?" John said.

"Hey John it's Anette." I said.

"Oh hey, how are you doing?" 

"Not so good, I feel horrible and I can't get up." I said.

"Hold on, stay there I will be over to help you soon!"

"No, John it's ok I don't want to get you sick. I will be fine!" 

"No you won't, I am coming over. I don't mind if I get sick." John said.

I told him where I lived and he said he would be over as soon as possible. I really wanted to see him but I didn't want to get him sick. He had too many things to do and a band to take care of, but he didn't seem to mind. 

I went downstairs to unlock the door for him and I went back upstairs to get some rest. 

I woke up startled as John came in to my room. 

"Hey, love sorry I scared you." John said.

"It's ok, I must have fallen asleep." 

"You sure did, are you feeling better?" He asked. 

"A little bit now that I see you." I said.

John laughed and he came over to the side of my bed. He kissed my cheek and I turned my head because I didn't want to get him sick. 

John looked a little upset after that and I assured him it was just because I didn't want him to catch what I had. 

"I am going downstairs to get you something to eat and some medicine." John said. 

"Ok thank you John." 

"No problem, love"

I was so thankful that he was there because I definitely couldn't do anything myself. John came back into my room holding a tray with toast, water, and some medicine. 

"Thank you" I said.

"Anything for you." John said.

He set the tray on my lap and he sat down next to me. I drank some of the water and it hurt so bad but I knew it would help me. John tried to feed me some toast but it hurt so bad to eat it and I wasn't very hungry. 

"I can't eat anything, it hurts too bad and I'm not very hungry." I said.

"You have to eat something otherwise you won't get better." John said.

He was being so sweet and I couldn't thank him enough. I couldn't believe this was really happening because I basically just met him but he insisted on taking care of me. 

After I was done with my food he set the tray down and he crawled in bed next to me. This made me a little uncomfortable because I wasn't used to this and I didn't know him that well yet. 

He pulled me close to him and I laid my head on his chest. He was so warm and he was holding me so gently. I never wanted him to let me go. I started to doze off and he kissed my forehead and he whispered to me "You are so beautiful". I wanted to kiss him but I couldn't because I was sick and he thought I was asleep and I didn't want to know I was actually awake.

John's POV

She is definitely something else. She looked so beautiful even though she was sick. They way she rested her head on my chest was so adorable and she looked so cute sleeping. I ran my fingers through her hair and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead.

 We layed there for a long time and I couldn't stop looking at how beautiful she was. I hoped she would get better soon because I wanted to snog her and many other things, but I pushed those dirty thoughts to the back of my head. I didn't want to move to fast and have her think that I only wanted to have sex with her because that wasn't that case, but I did want to do it with her. 

I continued to run my fingers through her hair and slowly I started to doze off also. I never wanted to leave this moment and I hoped she felt the same.

I feel for Anette because I feel exactly like her today. Let me know what you guys think of the story so far! Thanks for reading! <3
