Life

Chapter 7

"So do you have your things for us to work on?"

Hunter looks a bit confused for the slightest but remembers that little conversation we just had a few moments ago. He puts up his finger and tells me to wait then takes off to grab his things. I grab a tissue on my nightstand because I feel my nose running. Disgusting. I hate being sick yet I love it because I have Hunter pampering me.

I love the attention I'm getting from him. Being spoiled is great. Although, I should be careful and  not push him to hard. That would make me feel horrible in the long run. Hunter is back with his book bag and as soon as he sets it on the bed, my mouth drops.

"How do you not keep your things organized!?" I practically scream. I think I just made my voice worse.

"Well" he rubs the back of his neck. "I just kinda...got lazy." he chuckles.

"Lazy sure is the word for this kind of action."

"You should stop talking so you don't strain your voice as much. I can hear you losing it already."

I shut my mouth for now. Hunter dumps out everything from his bag and tries to organize it the best way he can. I shove his hands out the way so I can do it. I want to yell at him for not being neat but it's whatever. I take everything from his binders and unfold ALL his paperwork. 

After twenty minutes of organizing, everything is finally organized. You have no idea how much I want to slap him for having so much work piled up. When I first saw it, I didn't know where to start let alone where anything was. But thankfully, for my organizing skills, it's organized and neat. Hunter better keep it this way.

Fixing this abomination was a killer.

"You did not fall asleep on me as I was fixing all your crap?!"

Hunter jolts and I laugh so hard. He gives me this dirty look and I crawl over to him. I nuzzle my head into his neck and he wraps his arms around me. My mind travels back to when he was talking about our soon-to-be-date. It still irks me that I don't know what he has planned. Sometimes it feels like that when he is around me, it's still hard to believe I've always had him in my life. It's like, who paid him to be in my life?

"Napping time is over. Come on."

"Just a little longer." he mumbles.

I feel his hands travel to the small of my back. 

"Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast. I'm still sick and I just got done fixing your bag."

"What is it now?"

"You're the one that needs the tutoring. That's why I'm here. Aren't you glad to have a girlfriend as a tutor?"

"Hell yea I am. I can use you for that." 

What?

"Uh, I didn't mean it like that. I swear."

I wave my hand in front of his face to let him know whatever. He tries to lean in but I push him back. No, I bet he did mean what he said at first. I guess he is like everyone else. Using me thinking they can get a lot out of me. Well, that's not what's going to happen. And for a moment there, I actually thought he wanted to be with me.

I need to move past this. It's bad enough I'm sick. We get straight to work and so far he is doing well. I look over his work and he got most of them right. About 3 hours go by and we finally finish his progress. Hunter is a lot smarter than he seems. He has a little problem in math, but that's normal with almost everyone. Every other subject is good for him. I tell him that he better keep this contraption organized. He nods and I get out of bed to stretch. If I don't feel well tomorrow, I might have to stay home again.
