First Love (David & Liza)

Chapter 21

October 26th / Monday

"Liza!" I hear David's voice and roll over on my stomach. I feel his fingers stroking my hair then his lips kissing my forehead. "Liza, wake up!"

"No! I don't want to!" I murmur, burying myself deep under the covers, not wanting to open my eyes.

"You are so hot." He somehow finds my face and kisses my lips.

"Are you serious?! Just because we had that super cheesy and romantic moment on the beach last night, you expect that we're going to..." He lets out a little laugh, his hand closind my mouth, rudely interrupting me.

"No, Liza, you are hot and sweaty. I think you have a fever." The payfull tone is gone and now he sounds worried. I don't like when he's worried. "Where can I find a thermometer?"

"In the bathroom, second drawer on the left." I say and as soon as the bed bounces a little when he gets up, I drift off to sleep again. And let me tell you the two-minute nap is the worse! The bed bounces again too quickly for my liking.

"Princess!" David whispers earning just a groan in reply. "Please, wake up!" I surrender to his worried voice and slowly open my eyes while he puts the thermometer under my armpit. He looks at me with a serious face.

"You are pretty hot yourself." I smirk and he rolls his eyes. "Maybe you have a fever too." I wrap my free hand around his neck, pulling him closer. "Do you mind if I check?" He bites his lower lip and doesn't hesitate to kiss me. The loud beeping sound, coming from under the covers makes us pull away from each other.

"As much as I want to continue kissing your sweet lips..." He gives me a gentle peck. "I have to make sure you're healty first. Let me see." I sigh and give him the thermometer. He takes it and his eyes widen.

"Well, what is my diagnosis, doc?" I say when he looks at me.

"We are so not going to school tomorrow."

"Is that so?!" I wiggle my eyebrows, pulling him for another kiss with the little strenght that is left in my sleeping arms.

"You know that's not what I meant, Liza!"

Yeah, but you aren't pulling away from me and you look like you need a kiss right now, because that serious face doesn't suit you, and my head is spinning, and...

========================

A noise, coming from the kitchen wakes me up. I slowly sit up, rubbing my eyes. The noise stops. I look at the empty space beside me and realize that David isn't there. As I try to stand up everything starts spinning, making me sit back down immediately. I put my head in my hands waiting for it to stop. I feel my hair and t-shirt all sweaty. A few minutes later the spinning stops and I manage to go to the bathroom. After I take a hot shower and change my clothes, I make my way downstairs. I smile to myself when I see David behind the countertop with my mother's apron on his bare chest. I stop on the last step of the stairs, so he couldn't see me and just stare at him. Dang it, I have the sexiest boyfriend on Earth. He is making me breakfast again and I make a note in the back of my mind to do something like that for him one day. Suddenly I sneeze, making him look up.

"Good morning, beautiful! How are you feeling?" He motions towards me with a big smile on his face, but I just sneeze again in response. "I see you took a shower. That's good." He kisses my forehead, wrapping his arms around my waist. "But you still have a little fever." He sighs and pulls away. "Maybe some waffles with hot cocoa will help." He points to the table and I widen my eyes with amazement.
