Sick feelings

“Hey, I found 2 pairs of brush inside the medicine cabinet.” He informed me.

“Great.” I said, and then I sneezed. My head suddenly ached, so I groaned.

“What’s the matter?” He asked, while sitting right beside me on the bed.

“Nothing” I just touched my head, and then I sneezed again.

          He touched my forehead and then my neck. Then he grabbed another towel and wrapped it around me.

“You have a fever. You should lie down. I’ll get you something to eat.” He helped me lie down and got a can of soup in the cabinet. “How am I supposed to heat this?” He asked himself. Then he looked at the Jacuzzi and turned the heat on. He threw the can inside and just waited for the water to boil.

I was too busy feeling the ache in my head to complement him. I just sneezed and sneezed like every 10 seconds or so. I managed to stop in about 2 minutes. When he realized the can is okay. He turned the heat off and when he can take the water’s hotness he went down and grabbed the can. It was still hot so when he got it out of the water he used his towel to hold it. Luckily, there was a box here with utensils such as: spoon and fork and a can opener. There was no knife. I don’t know why I thought of that but there really isn’t.

He went closer to me and tried to feed me. I hesitated and told him I could do it myself but when he gave it to me, my hands were incredibly shaking. He took the can once again and fed me. I had no choice.

          When I was done he threw the can in the garbage.  I smiled at him but that was just because I can’t talk to thank him, I was surprised he wasn’t bothering me about the forgiving zone. He just smiled back. Then he went to the bathroom, and when he came back he was carrying this pail and he placed it beside my bad, I heard him squeeze, probably a towel. He placed right above my forehead. The whole time he just stayed beside me and just took care of me. We weren’t talking, he just continued to squeeze the towel and place it above my forehead again and again. I just closed my eyes to ease the pain. I was beginning to feel horribly sick. I felt that I was horribly shaking this time, it felt really cold in here, there was an air vent on the ceiling and the air from the house was also going here.

“What’s happening? You’re shaking so much.” He said in a worried voice.

“I-I-I’m c-cold” I struggled to tell him.

“Oh, wait.” He went to the Jacuzzi to turn the heat back again.

The heat helped a little bit, but I was still shaking, but managed to control it for a while. He just went back to taking care of me. I rested my eyes again, after a few minutes I heard him humming, so I dozed off.

When I woke up, I saw him still taking care of me. My head still aches and I still feel cold, but I can think straight now. I think it’s time.

“Ron,” I started with a hoarse voice.

“Yes? What do you need?” He asked in a worried voice.

I sat up, and his hands were assisting my every move. I smiled at him and I told him. “I forgive you”

“What? Really?” He smiled so big, I was worried it reached his ears.

“Yes” I nodded.

He hugged me, so tight that I couldn’t breathe. I had to cough as a sign. “Oh, sorry.” He let go of me and smiled.

“Yes, but don’t abuse it. You can’t tease me yet.” I told him.

“Okay, I’ll do it when you’re not sick.” He said.
