Driving Me Wild

Chapter 16

Jack's POV
Two weeks of doing my work plus Katy's really does make your immune system shit. You name it I probably have it. Fucking sore throat, stuffy nose that some how runs, awful cough, head aches, and occasional vomiting. However I can't let it stop me from working. It'll pass, just a mild cold is all.
It's the only day off we have this week so Mark decided we'd secretly go to lunch. Which is why I'm now sitting in a Denny's in a baseball cap. Mark walks in and gives me a quick little grin sitting across from me.
"Hey Bug," Mark goes to kiss my cheek, but I stop him.
His eyebrows furrow together as he fully sits in his seat now.
"You don't look so good Bug. Are you feeling well?"

"I'm fine," I speak very nasally.

"You look like a ghost. Are you sure you're fine? You can tell me if you aren't feeling good and we can go back to the hotel. We can do it next break or I can plan something else."

"No, no I'm fine. Just a stuffy nose is all."
Mark nods and we begin to go through lunch with me coughing and him giving me sympathetic looks. This is the only day off we get to have for the next two weeks. So I wanted to actually have a nice time, but you know the universe just wants me to suffer. You know like usual.
"Jack, you're coughing like crazy. We're going back okay."

"Mark I told you I-" I get interrupted by my coughing.

"Yeah, no you sound like you're going to cough up blood. I'll go pay just stay here for a second," I nod as he goes to pay for our drinks.
In what way did I think I could do this. I feel like death, but for some reason I thought I could handle being in a disgusting diner. Which might I add looked like many people have thrown up on the floor.
We exit the diner and he calls us an Uber. It shows up quickly and Mark has me get inside. He follows behind me and tells the guy to go to the nearest drug store to the arena. The guy does so and drops us off at a rite aid. Mark pays the guy and takes my hand leading me into the fucking drug store.
We go into the medicine isle and he let's go of my hand.
"What are your symptoms," Mark asks me.

"Cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, head aches, and occasionally I'll vomit."

"And yet you still agreed to hang out with me today," Mark chuckles looking at all the liquid and pill forms of medicine.
He grabs two different kinds and gets some cough drops. I follow him up to the counter and he pays for it even though I said I could. We walk out of the drug store and begin the short walk to the hotel. Mark opens the cough drops and hands one to me making me suck on it.
"Is it bad to say I told you so right now," Mark chuckles.

"Well, you just did so," I trail out the 'o'.

"How about you tell Katy to just do her work from now on. I want my baby boy happy and healthy. Plus not as moody as you have been," Mark chuckles snaking his arm around my waist.

"Thanks for getting me stuff."

"It's my job to take care of you. You're my boyfriend and I want you to feel as great as you are."
I scoff with a smirk. The walk there was fairly short which makes me incredibly happy. We all are on the same floor, but we have to whisper when talking so nobody suspects anything. He drops me off at my door which is two down from his.
"Remember to take your stuff, drink lots of water and get lots of sleep," Mark whispers cupping my face in his hands.

"I know," I sigh.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Get better soon Bug."
He ruffles up my hair before going to his room. I enter my own which I'm sharing with Katy, Felix and this guy named Blake. Who Felix has befriended.
"Hey, lover boy. You're back early," Felix comments.

"He told me I'm too sick and I needed to rest for work tomorrow. So he got me medicine and we came back here," I say quite pissed since I wanted to actually spend time with him.

"I told you to cancel," Katy comments.

"Shut up this is your fault."

"How is it my fault?"

"You're the one who wanted me to do your work. Since I was such a good friend I did it and because we're in similar situations. I can't do you're work anymore Katy."

"Okay, well I don't really need you to since Max is scares we'll get caught."

I attempt to read my medicine, but my brain can't focus so I groan and hand them to Katy. She snickers and reads them to me. I take them back giving a quick thank you and going to get a glass of water.
Felix and Blake are watching a movie while Katy lays on the bed on her phone. As they all do that I climb into the second bed once I have more comfortable clothes on. I soon fall asleep hoping I'll feel better.

Kind of a shitty chapter but whatever. Just to let you all know my book Till Then which is book two of May I Have This Dance. So you can check that out if you want.
