James' POV

(Month later)

"Can I have two grape juices and two turkey sandwiches on wheat?" I ask the cashier at the Juice bar.

He gives me the food and I walk over to the table and unwrap one of the sandwiches. I take out my phone and text Riley to meet me in Juice Box.

A few minutes later Riley enters and quickly spots me and sits down across from me. "Yo, I got you a sandwich and a juice." I say pushing her food in front of her. "Thanks" Is all that came out of her mouth. She took the food and left the little Café.

Riley has been quiet the last few days and I don't know why. I finish my lunch in silent and then walk past studio B and see some of the B-troupers working on dance that I choreographed for their upcoming competition in Kitchener.

I enter Studio A and see the dancers practicing new moves. I come into Riley's office and see her asleep on the desk.

"Riley?" I question. She instantly wakes up. "Oh sorry. I didn't have coffee today." She said rubbing her eyes. "Don't even worry 'bout it." She smiles at my signature quote. "Why didn't you eat?" I ask looking at her untouched sand which and drink. "I wasn't hungry. I am not feeling too good." She says. I touch her forehead. "You don't feel warm babe." I tell her. "I think I should head home." She says. "Ok well get some rest." I say leaving her office.

Riley's POV

I barely made it home before I threw up. I ate seafood last night with Piper and James and I must have food poisoning.

I changed into something more comfortable and put my hair up into bun.

I curled up on the couch with a blanket and turned on a movie. I fell asleep halfway through the movie and before I knew it James was home.

"Hey Ri, how ya feeling?" He asks. "Better" I reply. "Well I stoped and picked up some of your favorite tea. I will make some now if you want." "That would be great thank you."

He brings me the warm tea and sits down and starts rubbing my back. "I have the best husband ever." I say. He smiles and picks me up and carries me into our master bedroom.

He puts me on the bed and was about to get in bed with me but I ran into the bathroom and threw up once more. "You ok?" He asks giving me a glass of water. I nod my head and go and clean my mouth out.

Even tho I didn't get sick last night again I still felt awful the next morning.
"Babe, Are you sure you want to stay here by yourself? I can call Emily to come over." James asks. "No I'm fine." I say. He comes over to where I'm laying in bed. "Promise me that if anything is wrong that you will call me." "Promise" I say holding up my pinky finger. "Good" James says before leaving.

There is no dance rehearsals today but he has a meeting to go so he can't stay home. I close my eyes once he shuts the bedroom door and fall asleep.
