I'm Short You're Tall, So What.

Chapter 18

(Chase)

Chisa was so angry with me last week, Cayene. I had a feeling he was trying to separate us, I didn't know if he was doing this for my father.

Whether he was doing it for my father or for himself, I won't let it happen. I sneezed into a paper towel, turning in bed.

I groaned touching my very warm forehead, I had to be staying in bed because I've contracted a flu. Worst - Thing - Ever! I couldn't stop coughing. London boiled chicken soup but I hated soup. Ugh.

I asked her for porridge and she boiled it, that didn't work for me either. I could only drink orange juice she bought at a convenient store and bottled water. I've missed out on a few classes though Arson promised he'd lend me his notes. I'm really thankful for him, he was my best friend though he's like family.
Chisa's probably wondering about not seeing me at school, I coughed placing the pillow over my face. Damn it! Everything hurts. I tossed the pillow to the ground and fell back into bed closing my eyes. I was feeling so irritable.

The room door creaked open.

"Chase." 

London said.

"London, I don't want soup."

I said, my throat felt really sore.

"I'm not giving you soup, um - someone is here to see you."

She said.

I didn't want to see anyone, the only thing I wanted to see was my sheet, bed and pillows. Anything else could just go. My head was pounding like nail against wood.

"Who the hell is it?"  I asked, annoyed.

"I guess you don't want to see Chisa."

She said and I flew up.

"Chisa is at the door?" I asked and started coughing. My sore throat was prevailing against me!

"She's waiting in the living room, should I tell her to come up?"

I tossed the sheets off my feet getting out of bed but nearly lost my balance, I was very weak.

"God Chase! You're butt naked, at least put something on."

London said covering her eyes.

"I don't want to see your - dick."

"Then don't look."  I said pulling on my boxers.

My head felt light and dizzy, someone caught me before I could fall.

"You need to get back in bed."

London said, she helped me into bed and then touched my forehead.

"You're burning up, I'm going at the pharmacy. Please rest, I'll tell your girlfriend she could come up."

She said with a smile.

I really don't know if she wanted - to be my girlfriend, I had feelings for her, I've never had feelings like this. She was simple, different and ordinary but I preferred her among other girls. Chisa was beautiful but she can't see it, she didn't want to. I always see her beauty.

"Chase, you look thoughtful. Is everything okay?"

London asked and I smiled.

"I don't know if she sees me as her boyfriend."

I said.

"Aren't you both dating?"

She asked filling the glass next to my bed with orange juice.
