In Paris (Under Major Editing)

Chapter Eleven

  I woke up feeling dizzy. I didn't overslept last night. I mean when me and Ethan got home we already went to bed 'cause we're tired then the door swung open.
  "Oh hey, cupcake. You're early today huh." Ethan said as he walked in. I didn't say something back. I was really, really dizzy and I hate it.
  "Are you okay? You look pale." He asked as he sat down beside me.
  "I'm feel dizzy"
  "Oh." He paused. "I can always get you a medicine if you want."
  "Okay." I smiled at him as he stood up and get the medicine. I grab my phone and look at the calendar. What the fuck. I have my period today! I hope I have some extra napkins. Ethan went back in the room with a medicine tablet and a glass of water.
  "Here you go." He said as he gave me the medicine tablet. I swallowed it and grab the glass of water to drink it.
  "Thank you." I said as I smiled.
  "I can bring your breakfast up here." He said.
  "No, thanks. I'm not hungry." Every time I had my period, I didn't eat that much. And I don't know why.
  "You're not hungry?" He asked in disbelief.
  "Yes, why?" I asked.
  "You're always hungry. Are you really okay?"
  "Stop exaggerating." I said coldly.
  "It's just different when you say you're not hungry."
  "Yeah, maybe I was not really feeling well." I told him. Should I tell him today was my period? Wait, No. I can't. It will be awkward. Soooooo awkward. I can't just tell him like 'Hey, Ethan I have a period today. Did you have napkins?' And I know for sure that he doesn't have any napkins. He's a guy for god sakes! So it's better not to tell him.
  "Just lay down in your bed. It will make you feel better." He said as he took the glass of water from my hands.
  "You sure? I can help you with the chores."
  "How can you help me if you're not feeling well? I don't want you to have fever. I'll be fine." He said as he smiled. I smiled back at him.
  "Okay." I said as he walk outside of the room. I stood up slowly and grab my bag. I was searching for napkins and luckily I found one. I went in the bathroom and take a shower.
  I wear my Aztec t-shirt and my dyed shorts. Of course, I already used my one and only napkin. I tie my hair in a messy bun and just lay down in bed using my laptop. I was scrolling through tumblr. I want to go down and just chat with Ethan but I feel lazy. Whenever I had my period, I always feel lazy like my body was heavy.
  I just remembered that I only have one napkin. I need more! Periods didn't last for just one day! I have nothing left! Holy Shit. I need to buy but I can't bring Ethan along. I closed my laptop and apply powder in my face. I grab my phone and wallet as I went out of the room. I headed downstairs and saw Ethan watching t.v in the living room.
  "Where are you going?" He asked. What will I say? Think, Bree. Think.
  "I-I- was going to buy something outside." I said. I feel nervous.
  "What are you going to buy?" He asked curiously.
  "C- Coke."
  "There's coke in the fridge."
  "Oh." I paused. "Chocolates. I need to buy one." I hope there's no chocolates in the fridge.
"Why did you need to buy one?"
  "I always eat chocolates when I'm not feeling well." I didn't lie. I always eat chocolates to make me feel better and it usually worked.
  "You're not feeling well, just stay here. I'm the one who's going to buy." Oh God no.
  "No, No, No. I can buy by myself. Don't worry."
  "But you're not-"
  "It's fine, Ethan. Besides the convenience store was not that far away. Stay here and guard the house." I interrupted him.
  He let out a sigh. "Okay. Make it fast though."
  "I will. Now, you go back and watch." I said as I opened the door and went out. It's a good thing he believed me.
  This afternoon was not that hot. It's the weather I like and the store was very near. You can even just walk all the way there.
  I finally arrived at the convenience store. I went inside and find some napkins. When I reach the second row, I found the napkins. I grab one pack-
  "You just have to tell me that you had a period, cupcake. It's no big deal." I heard someone behind me. Ethan? I looked behind me and saw him. His arms are crossed in his chest.
  "It's just you're a boy..." I look away from him feeling embarrassed.
  He let out a long sigh. "Okay, Okay. I understand. You don't need to be ashamed." I look at him and saw that he is smiling.
  "I don't like awkward situations and right now, I feel awkward." I told him shyly.
  "I don't feel awkward. If you haven't had your period then you're not normal. It's fine." He's right. I didn't choose to have a period.
  "Okay, I'll buy some chocolates." I smiled at him as I search for chocolates.
  "What about Hershey's Kisses?" Ethan asked.
  "That's fine. I'll take it." I grab the chocolate and went to the counter to pay. I saw a lollipop in the corner. I love lollipops. I grab one and the lady added it.
  After I pay, we went out of the convenience store. Well, Of course Ethan was the one who's carrying the bag –he volunteered- as I enjoy my tasty lollipop.
  "No lollipops for me?" He asked.
  "Oh, sorry. You never told me you want one."
  "You never told me you're going to buy one."
  "I just saw this in the corner. I love lollipops." I said as I put back my lollipop inside my mouth.
  "Share your lollipop, cupcake." He said. Share? It means that our saliva was going to mix. That's just.... eww.
  "Buy your own." I told him.
  "I can already see the house then you expect to go back there just to buy one single lollipop? C'mon, Bree. Share your lollipop. Please?" He pleaded and he's so adorable doing it.
  "Those puppy eyes..." I said as I rolled my eyes. "Okay."
  "Yehey!" He said cheerfully. I removed my lollipop from my mouth, he was about to grabb it when I put it back inside my mouth. I repeated the same thing like four times.
  "Are you really going to-" I interrupted him by putting the lollipop inside his mouth.
  "Keep it." I said as I stick my tongue at him.
  We finally made it inside the house as I went to my room and lay down in my bed. My tummy was aching. Ethan came in as he sat down in the bed.
  "How are you feeling?" He asked worriedly.
  "My stomach aches." I answered then he brought his phone out and called someone.
  "Vous êtes en charge aujourd'hui. J'ai quelque chose à prendre en charge." (You're in charge today. I have something to take care of) He said through the phone and hang up.
  "Who are you talking to?" I asked.
  "Henry. He was my employee at the tattoo shop."
  "What did you say to him?"
  "I told him that he's in charge today because I have something to take care of."
  "What is it?"
  "You, of course." He said as he smiled warmly at me.
  "It's very kind of you. Thanks, Ethan." I said as I smiled.
  "No worries. Now, what about we watch a movie?" He asked. 
  "Sure!" I said excitedly.

He canceled his plans for today just to take care of me. How sweet.
