My Guy!

Chapter 19

The next morning I woke up in bed, coughing and sneezing. I already got through three boxes of tissues! Sadly I had.. a common cold. Which to everyone else wouldn't be a huge deal, but to Sal this was like the end of the world. I couldn't tell him, as he would hate to see me. He rang me in the morning
"Hey Em" he said. I coughed to clear my sore throat.
"Hey" I quickly replied.
"You okay? You sound a bit sick" Sal said to me.
"I'm completely fine" I lied. I couldn't help but sneeze. "I have to go" I quickly said and hung up the phone. However it sounded mean, so I quickly texted him.

Emily: sorry babe, love you xxx
Sal: are you sure your okay? xxx
Emily: not really, I have a common cold xx

There was no response, so I left it. I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around me, with my tissues next to me. I must have caught a cold from last night. The next minute the door bell rang. I slowly walked down the stairs, with my blanket wrapped around me like a cape, and a tissue in one hand. I opened the door to reveal Sal.
"Don't get any closer, you'll catch the cold" I told him. He followed me into the living room with a bag. Inside was more tissues, some medicine, chocolates, dvds.
"What's this for?" I asked, smiling at the items.
"It's everything you like and need" he replied back.
"Aww this is so sweet of you" I said.
"You'll have to share those chocolates though!" He added. I looked up at him, and he held my hand.
"I took the day off work to be here with you. I couldn't go knowing my gorgeous girl was ill could I?!" Sal said.
"But what if you catch my cold? You hate colds! You hate to be near a cold!" I said.
"I'll make an exception for you" he replied, kissing my forehead. And in that instant I knew he loved me.
