A week later.

"Roo maybe I should just cancel." Zak frowns as he's crouched beside me.

"No. I'll be okay."

"What if you stay here then?" He asked.

I shook my head vehemently at him "I need to be with you, I need to work."

"But you're still sick." He whispered rubbing my back gently.

"Don't make me stay here." I plead.

Eventually I won and with a little help I'm lifted off the floor of the bathroom whilst Zak cleans it down.

Sitting on his bed I lay back in the luxury and softness of his bed looking at the ceiling.

"I could always just get someone else to take the photos." He said making me sit up slowly to glare at him.

"Or maybe not." He laughed nervously before disappearing back in the bathroom.

After a lot of bleach and a set of clean teeth I was being piggybacked to the RV.

"My anti-sickness tablets?" I asked.

"I picked them up." Bacon smiled as I sat on the bed at the back.

"Thank you."

"No problem shortcake. Get some sleep, when you need to stop, let me know."

I nod and lay down with a pillow under my head.

We were off to Colorado, but my mind and body felt sluggish.

With lack of guidance and cooking skills, I'd had more cases of food poisoning than a normal person but this was something completely different. Zak stepped on the RV with a blanket and a cold bottle of water.

"Here you go." He smiled setting the bottle down before draping the blanket over me.

"I'm sorry I'm a burden." I mumble.

"Don't be daft. Just sleep, you're always a little better after a sleep. You were up a lot last night."

"Hmm.."

Maybe I had something wrong with me? Zak had suggested the doctors but I declined simply because I didn't want him to reschedule this lockdown. Maybe time out of the polluted Vegas air would help?

"I love you." He whispered kissing my forehead before leaving me alone.

I missed mouth kisses. Since being ill we hadn't shared a proper kiss and I was feeling needy. But for the sake of him not getting ill, I dealt with my neediness by wearing his clothes.

"Love you."

As he turned I grabbed his bum making him chuckle and look over his shoulder. I giggled and snuggled down before falling to sleep.

"Dude. You need to ask her." Aaron said.

"Shut the hell up Aaron. Don't wake her." Zak hissed.

Ask me what?

"Stop avoiding it. Grow some balls." Aaron dug at him.

"Fuck you bro, you don't know half the shit she has been through. I ask her and it could set her off. No.. Now drop it."

My eyes opened slowly to see both Aaron and Zak glaring at each other before Zak noticed I had woke.

"Hey sweetie." He smiled coming up the RV as if moment ago he wasn't arguing.

"Hey shorty!" Aaron waved.

"Hi." I croaked back before sitting up to drink the water Zak left.

Zak sat himself on the bed and brushed my hair back as I drank, his eyes watched me carefully until I stopped to take some air.
