Sick

When my food came, it looked good. Also smelled good.

"What the heck is that?" Troye asked. He sounded full on Australian right there.
"It's called Ratatouille. It's not just a movie." I looked at it then tried a little piece. It was so good. Especially the zucchini piece.
"Oh my gosh this is so good." I said. He wasn't even paying attention to what I was saying.

"Troye you having fun with your food?" I asked while looking at him. He was twirling his noodles and just mesmerized by it. What's wrong with boys these days. Shawn's acting like he's high and Troye is acting like a freaking 5 year old.

"Yeah but this stuff is good. It's called French Onion Pasta. You should really get it next time." Then he stuffed a couple of noodles in his mouth. I looked around the table and everyone was in a conversation or eating.

Shawn just sat there. He didn't even touch his food. Somethings definitely not right.

"Hey Shawn what's wrong." I asked quietly. I don't want everyone to worry.
"Nothing I'm just not hungry." His voice sounded weak.
"Well yeah you didn't even touch your food. Let me feel your head." I wiped my hand off and touched his head. It was in between burning and about to burn.

"Oh my gosh your like burning." I told him.
He shook his head but then shut his eyes.
I took the cloth of my lap and took a sip of my lemonade.
"Troye I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I told him. He just shook his head and put more noodles in his mouth.

I pulled Shawn's arm and he got up.
"We're we going." He asked.
"Bathroom." Before I went in I asked if anyone was in there. When it was clear, I pulled him in and sat him on the sink.
"Does your head hurt?" I asked him.
"Yeah." He whispered. I took out some Advil from my purse and a water bottle then gave it to him. He took it then drank the water. I got a paper towel and wet it to place on his face.
I just wiped it around his face and stared at him. He kept his eyes closed and just sat there like a statue.

"Should we go back to the hotel?" I quietly asked him.
"I don't want to leave everyone though." He said.
"Yeah but Shawn your head is hot, your walking like your drunk, and your voice is weak." I told him. He just smiled.
"Ok, do you have another water bottle?" It may seem weird but I have three water bottles in my bag.
"Yeah here." I handed it to him and we walked out. There was a lady about to walk into the bathroom when she saw us come out. Then she pulled me aside.
"You used protection right." She asked me.
"What the hell? We didn't do that." I walked off back over to Shawn.

"Who was that." He asked.
"I don't know but she asked if we used protection I was about to slap her." He smiled a little. I don't know why though.

We sat down and Troye was almost done with his food.
"Dang you ate it that fast? We were only in there for five minutes."
"Eh whatever." He put another noodle in his mouth and smiled. I slapped his arm and told him to close his mouth.
"I'm gonna take Shawn back to the hotel. He's sick. Can you get a box for me and a box for him." I told him.
"Yep. Feel better Shawn. I'll tell everyone." Troye told Shawn and smiled.

I got up and told Sterling then we left.
"Wait how are we supposed to get back?" I asked him. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.
"It's called a cab. Ever heard of one?" He smirked. I just looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Isn't New York pretty? The lights, the sounds. I'm totally not used to this." I told him.
"Don't you live in Cali though?" He asked.
"Yeah but the quiet side. The city is like thirty minutes away from us." He shook his head.
"That's how Canada is. It's like I live in the suburbs but the city is right near us. At least... ten minutes away so I can hear it sometimes." We stopped at the end of the side walk and waited for the sign for us to walk across the the street.

"Where are we going?" I asked him looking around.
"Don't know I just felt like walking. Do you know how to catch a cab?" He asked.
"Catch a cab? What the heck Shawn." I was laughing like crazy and people were giving me weird looks.
"What? Did I not say it right." He looked straight at me.
"Whatever and yes. My dad taught me since he travels a lot." I went to the curb and stuck my hand out waving it back and forth. Seconds later, a cab came and we got in.

"Wow. You can even catch a cab. You can do everything girl!" He exclaimed. I looked at him funny and just smiled. My hair was getting annoying so I took it out of the bun and messed it up a little. My head felt much better. A couple of minutes later we pulled up to the hotel. I gave the cab driver some money and got out.
"Ooo let's get some ice cream! Please please!" I shouted at him.
"Ok you four year old." He told me.
"Shut up." I hit his arm and ran to the store.

There were different flavors but my favorite was mint chocolate chip.
"Excuse me. Can I have mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone with rainbow sprinkles and whip cream on the top." I ordered. He shook his head and started making it. Shawn ordered mint chocolate chip also but with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top. When I got mine,the waiter guy gave me a napkin with something on it. It was his number. I looked at him and he winked at me. I looked at Shawn and he was glaring at the guy.

We sat down and stared eating ice cream.
"Is little Shawn jealous that a guy winked at me and gave me his number?" I teased.
"Be quiet. Are you even gonna call him." He asked with a serious face.
"Um ew no. He looks mean. And I don't even know him. He could rape me for goodness sake!" I kinda shouted. He began laughing. So did I.

Fifteen minutes later we were out the door walking back to the hotel. We got into the elevator but he pressed the roof top button.
"What are you doing?" I asked confused.
"You'll see." The doors opened and we walked over to the cream colored edge to sit down on. Then there were fireworks which were pretty.

"This is cool." I whispered. Don't know why.
"Yeah it is." He said back. I felt his head again but it was hotter.
"Let's go to the room. Your sizzling now." I told him. He laughed a little bit and said
"Thank you for taking care of me. I appreciate it." Then he kissed my forehead. (Pic above)
