“Wilmer! Baby!” Demi called her boyfriend while entering his huge house.
She never really liked big houses but there was something about his house that made an exception. Maybe it was all the memories she had from there. All those moments with Wilmer. Fights, love times, friend times… Everything…
“Wilmer!I´m here!” She tried again but she did not get a response so she left her purse on the coffee table and walked upstairs to his bedroom.
Even before opening the bedroom door, she knew that he was in there since she could hear him coughing.
“Baby…” She looked at him. Wilmer was on the bed and he did not look completely healthy at all. His skin, that skin that was always naturally tanned in perfection, was now pale. His usual goofy smile was not there anymore. He needed to shave and there were tissues everywhere.
“Demi! What are you doing here?!” He jumped in surprise and quickly got up.
He was just wearing his boxers, grey socks and a white T-shirt with a V neck.
“I came to surprise you… I wanted to spend some time with my boyfriend… Maybe go to the movies or something but… You don´t look like going out”
Wilmer looks down.
“We can go out if you want to, Hermosa. I´m completely fine” He lied as he put a smile on his lips.
Demi shook her head.
“No, no, no you´re not fine, baby. Not at all” She replied, getting closer to him.
“Aw” She pouted and hugged him. Soon, his arms were wrapped around her too. “You´re so warm, babe” Demi whispered against his chest. “You might have a fever”
“I have a fever” He whispered back and kissed the top of her head.
“Aw, babe, let me take care of you, yeah?” She looked up at him but Wilmer shook his head.
“No, nena. Go out, have fun with your friends. I can take care of myself, baby” He put his hands on her face to make her look at him in the eye.
“But…”
“No, Hermosa, there are no buts. I can do this”
Demi sighed and looked around her as they both realized that everything was a huge mess.
“At least let me clean this”
“No, Hermosa, I will do it. Go out”
Demi rolled her eyes.
“Wilmer, you´re my boyfriend, I have to help you” She tried.
“But not with this, sweetheart. It is okay, I got this”
“You sure?”
“Completely”
Demi sighed and pecked his lips.
“Okay, babe but if you need something please call me” She looked at him worried. He smiled. “Yes, nena”
Demi turned around and left the bedroom. She went downstairs, grabbed her purse and walked out of the house, ready to have some fun with her best friend Marissa.
But she could not have fun if Wilmer being sick was the only thing she could think about. Demi felt so guilty and bad for leaving him all alone while being sick. He never ever had left her alone when she was not feeling well.
“Rissa, I gotta go” Demi said, standing up and grabbing her stuff.
“Really? Why?”
“I need to take care of my sick boyfriend” She said. Marissa smiled.
“I knew you wouldn´t be able to let him be” Marissa winked. Demi giggled, kissed her cheek and rushed away.
Soon, she was in his house again. She prepared soup and, for her biggest surprise, she didn´t mess it up. It was actually good.
She went upstairs and entered the bedroom.
Everything was clean but Wilmer was completely tired now and he looked even worse than earlier that day.
“Babe” She called him. He opened his eyes.
“Hermosa! I told you to…” He started but Demi shut him up by putting her index finger on his lips.
“Let me take care of you” She whispered, crawling on the bed by his side.
He sighed.
“Okay, nena, I really need help actually”
“I know and I´m sorry. I should´ve stayed here with you”
“No, sweetheart, you were just doing what I told you”
Demi smiled.
“Anyways, here is some soup. I made it by myself and it´s not messed up” She told him.
Wilmer smiled at her while she fed him.
“Mmm, Hermosa, this actually tastes amazing!”
“Thank you, baby”
“No, babe, thank you mi amor”
After giving him the soup, Demi started shaving him.
“Really? You don´t need to shave me, Hermosa” He laughed.
“Yes I do have to” She replied. She was really focused on her work.
Demi was straddling his lap. He was sitting on the bed as his hands caressed her soft legs up and down.
He had to admit that he loved the fact that Demi was here to take care of him.
“Done” She said and pecked his nose.
“Thank you, baby”
“No need to thank me” She replied, left the stuff in the bathroom and came back to cuddle him in bed.
Wilmer rested his head on her chest as she caressed his short and thick hair.
“I love you so much, angel” He whispered in a sleepy voice. “I love you too” Demi whispered back, kissing his head.
“Thanks for being here. I feel much better already”
She smiled.
“Try to sleep, my love” She said and then it went silent.
Wilmer was asleep.
