A Greek Odyssey - Jason Fic

CHAPTER 48

Lexi woke up at around 10am to find Jason's side of the bed still warm, but empty. She stretched out in the bed, smiling to herself as she thought about the previous night. Her legs ached slightly which she guessed was from the dancing the night before and also from their exertions on the sofa. She shuffled onto her side feeling her stomach cramp slightly as she did so. Sighing a deep sigh, she knew what that meant. Her period had come early and at a most inconvenient time. Ever since she'd switched to the contraceptive implant in her arm  her periods were all over the place and often painful. They were never at the correct time each month, sometimes early or sometimes late and the first month she had the implant nothing at all. It was seriously starting to annoy her. Luckily she didn't get the mood swings or bad headaches that plagued Freya sometimes who had the same implant.

She quickly went into the bathroom taking a tampon with her in case her suspicion was correct and was annoyed to find that she'd been right.

Once she had finished in the bathroom she slid back into bed, wondering whether Jason was coming back up so they might have a cuddle up. She looked up as the door opened and Jason walked into the room carrying a tray on which he had placed a bowl of cereal, toast and a cup off coffee. 'Morning gorgeous!' he said, placing the tray next to her on the bed and drawing back the curtains so the sunshine poured into the room.

'Morning,' she replied, sitting up and grimacing slightly as another cramp rippled through her stomach.

'You ok, luv?' he came over and sat next to her on the bed, a worried expression on his face.

'Yeah Jay. Liverpool's playing at home it seems,' she sighed and picked up his hand, looping her fingers through his.

'Eh? What's that then?' he had never heard that expression used before and was confused because he didn't think Lexi was into football.

She explained to him what she meant. This was the first time she'd had a period since they had met as luckily it had always seemed to be timed when she wasn't with him.

'Is that all?' he replied, kissing her on the forehead. 'Lucky for us it wasn't yesterday,' he laughed, stroking her hair and cuddling her affectionately.

'Yeah, my stomach's a bit sore but I should be right as rain once I've got a couple of painkillers down me,' she reached into her handbag, retrieving a couple of Anadin Extras and swallowing them down with the coffee, before attacking her breakfast. 'Thanks for breakfast Jase,' she said, swallowing a piece of toast and looking at him as he pulled his t-shirt off.

'No problem luv. Just going to jump in the shower. I said we'd be at mum's around one-ish is that ok?'

She nodded in agreement, finishing her breakfast and huddled back under the covers to attempt to snatch a few more minutes shut-eye.

Oliver had been busy for a few hours after the party, putting the finishing touches to the article about Jason's party. He was pleased with the results and the photos Phil had taken had come out very well. He wrote up the article in their hotel room on his laptop, attaching the photos onto the finished article. He sat back and looked at the final result with a smile on his face. He pressed the send button sending it to his boss to have put in the paper the following day, knowing he'd just made the deadline for the print. His boss had wanted to get the article in Sunday's edition of The Sun as there was nothing much going on in the news at the moment. The party was the most newsworthy story at the moment, so he was going to put it on the front page.
