Easy to fall in love with you. (Daniel Sharman/Isaac Lahey)

vii.

"Honey, you need to rest. I'm sure he'll understand if you cancel" My mom said.
"Mom, no please. I can do this!" I whined, trying to get out of bed.

I swear, my immune system has the worst timing ever. The day of Isaac's and my second date had to be cancelled, because my body decided to stop functioning properly.

"Call him and explain. He will understand" She said sternly, putting my blanket over me.
"Fine" I said, pouting. I picked up my phone and dialed his number, sitting up in the process and throwing my blanket off my body angrily.

"Well someone's eager to go on our second date" Isaac laughed as soon as he picked up the line.
"Yeah-" I said, and started coughing viciously. "I hate to do this" cough, "but I" cough, "can't make it tonight" more coughing.
"You don't sound too good, Julie"
"I know" cough "My mom's making me stay home because I've suddenly gotten ill. I'm really sorry, Isaac"
"It's no problem, please rest. We can have the date any other time, your health is important"
"Thank you so much"
"No problem. Call me if you need anything?"
"I will"
"Okay, I'll let you rest now. Talk to you in a bit" He said, before hanging up.

Within 15 minutes of me brooding in sadness, laying hopelessly on my bed, I heard the doorbell ring. I listened carefully to who was at the door but couldn't tell. I just closed my eyes, expecting it to be Stiles, who would run and jump on my bed and act like a child.

A few seconds later, I felt a warm hand caress my cheek, and run through my hair. I leaned into it, recognizing the familiar hand and immediately felt better.

"I got you some soup" He said softly, holding my hand. I just nodded and held his hand tighter. I felt him lift our hands up and place a kiss on the back of my hand. I finally opened my eyes, and because I wasn't wearing my contacts, Isaac was blurry but I could notice his curly hair so prominently. I laughed to myself and sat up.

"What's so funny?" He smiled.
"Nothing, it's dumb" I said, putting my glasses on and leaning against him with my cheek on his shoulder.
"Tell me" He said, playing with my hair.
"Your curly hair stands out even when I can't see properly"
"Oh"
"Told you it was dumb"
"That’s not dumb, I was just expecting something a little bit more…. intellectual" He joked, making me playfully punch him.
"Kidding!" He laughed at me. I moved from his shoulder and leaned against my wall.
"I always thought you looked pretty cute with your glasses" He said to me.
"I've worn them like two times in school"
"Well both those times, I found you pretty cute"
"You sure do notice a lot of things"
"Yes, I do. I invited Stiles and Scott over here too, just so that this doesn't feel like our second date"
"You're just waiting for that kiss" I joked.
"Not gonna lie, that is one of the things I'm looking forward to" He winked at me playfully. "Have some soup" He said, picking up the cup of soup he bought me.
"Were you reading this?" Isaac said, noticing a comic book on the floor and picking it up.
"Yeah, didn't feel like reading a whole novel so I got that out"
"Okay, this is the one thing I didn't know about you"
"That I read comic books?"
"Yeah, I've never seen you with them"
"I never take them with me to school so I guess that's why. Wow, you've missed one fact about me!" I said, drinking my soup. 
"Yeah, yeah" He said before picking up my phone
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I know you're sick, but may I have this dance?" He said, letting a slow song play from my phone, standing up and entending his hand for me.
"Of course, sir" I said, putting my hand in his and getting off the bed. 'Why the sudden interest in dancing with me?" 
"Just wanted to know what it would feel like" He said, pulling me closer to him.
"You're really something, Mr Lahey"
"Good or bad?"
"Good"
"What a shame, I was hoping to give off that 'bad boy' vibe" He laughed, swaying us to the rhythm of the song. 
"Well, what's your verdict?" I asked, looking up at him.
"On what?"
"Us dancing" 
"I definitely want to do this again" He replied, leaning his forehead on mine.
"Me too" I said, rubbing my nose against his.
"God, Julie, please just let me kiss you" He said, leaning closer to me.
"You'll get sick" I watched him move slowly.
"I don't care" I didn't respond, I just watched his every movement. Closer, and closer, until our lips were almost touching.

"WHAT'S UP, LADIES??" We heard Stiles call out from downstairs, ruining the moment. 
"Wow, he has great timing" Isaac stated, shaking his head. I leaned up towards his face and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting back down on my bed and drinking my soup. Isaac smiled at me and sat next to me in silence.

"For you" Scott said, bowing playfully and handing me a daisy. The three of us had this thing, where we would give each other flowers when the other was sick. For me, it was a daisy. Stiles gets a sunflower and Scott would get a dahlia. 

"Thank you, Sir" I said, placing it on my desk.
"A daisy?" Isaac asked, confused. I explained the whole thing and he just looked at us in awe. 
"Awww Isaac, don't worry, we'll get you a flower too!" Stiles said, pinching his cheeks. 
"Gee, thanks!" Isaac joked in a high pitched voice, making us all burst into laughter.

We spent the rest of the day watching TV in my living room, stuffing our faces with junk food (them mostly, I just sat there drinking hot tea almost 75% of the time).

"I should get going" Isaac said, getting off my couch and stretching.
"Later lahey!" Stiles called out.
"I'll walk you out" I said, leading him to the door.

"I'm really sorry, by the way" I said once we were out the door.
"What for?"
"Cancelling our date" 
"Oh, hush, it's not your fault you fell ill" He ran his fingers through my hair.
"I still feel bad"
"That's okay, we can have our second date when you're all better"
"I'm looking forward to it"
"Me too" He smiled, "Feel better, okay?"
"I will. Thank you for coming" I said, embracing him in a hug.
"Anything for you" He replied, kissing my head before leaving.

"He really likes you, Julie" Scott said as soon as I walked in and sat in between the two boys on my couch.
"Julie's got a boyfriend!" Stiles yelled, poking my sides.
"No, not yet" I laughed.
"Just so you know, we're gonna be spying on all your dates" Stiles said.
"I will kick your asses if you do" I said, looking at them both, before hitting them with a pillow.

I'm sorry for taking so long! Also, I didn't know how to end this one so I just left it there, forgive me!
