Because of Joe

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Joe and I had dinner at his place. I made everything for him just because he was tired. After dinner he helped clean up and then I had to kiss him goodnight. He begged me to stay but I said I couldn't. I wanted to but I still had to go finish a few garments. "Night." He whispered in my ear as I hugged him after a kiss.

"Night." I stroked his neck. He takes my hand and kissed it. After I got back to my apartment I went straight to my workspace. Turning on my sewing table and lights.

When I woke up I knew something was up. My body suddenly was aching and I went straight to the bathroom. Mother nature decides to give me my monthly blessing. After a quick cold shower to wake up my nerves I made some coffee. I decided on wearing a long black skirt and a orange flimsy camisole top. My sides won't stop cramping and ignored them. When I got to Ilani's store to open up I started getting this painful headache and I hear Ilani's salesclerks coming at the back. There was a lot of them on weekdays and on weekends it's usually Ilani, me, and these other two girls. Celine was usually the supervisor if both Ilani and I were not there so today I asked if she could watch over for me. I was starting to not feel so well. As I was on the subway home Joe called."Hello." I probably said that with a quietest voice.

"Hey I was just at-" He stops. "Are you alright." I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Not really. I'm going back home because I don't feel that good."

"Oh you want me to go get you something?"

"No it's okay Joe. You might be busy."

"You sure?"

"Yea I'll just go get some medicine and lay in bed. "

"I'll check on you later." He says.

"Okay bye." I said.

"Bye feel better." He hangs up after and I clutched my side.

Back at the apartment I change into my lazy day outfit. I took a glass of water to my room and snuggled back into my blankets. The cramps were getting worse and my headache was still making my head throb. I took some medicine and I put a hot water bottle just were my spine ends. I closed my eyes for a few minutes and I drifted off to sleeps again.

The doorbell woke me up and I looked at a time. I was only asleep for about an hour and I got up to see who it was. I felt a little nauseated. Going down the stairs I hear the person knocking. "I'll be right there." I said. I opened the door.

"How are you feeling?" Joe was holding a brown paper bag in his arm.

" Just a little dizzy."

"What do you have? Fever, cold, or allergies." He follows me back to my room. I snuggled back into the blankets.

"Period." My voice sounded muffled with the pillows.

"Oh..." Joe put the bag down. "Uh well I got you some chicken noodle soup. I also passed by Barnes and Nobles and picked up a few books for you. Also rented movies."

"Thanks Joe your so sweet." I kissed him.

"No problem." He holds me the container of soup. "Here you go." I curled my legs under me and Joe sits on the bed. I spooned the little carrots into my mouth and Joe watched me.

"Taking interests on people eating carrots." I said before sipping the warm soup. He laughs and kisses my cheek. After I finished the soup he showed me the books he got me. I was getting all hyped and he picked out really good books. I read the blurbs at the back. He put in one of the movies he rented. I hugged him when he laid down next to me. Joe kissed my head and I see him smiling. He got chic flicks and I punched him on the arm. "I like action movies." He laughs kissing my jawline and then my cheek. "It's alright though." I pat his chest. God I get to do that all the time. He made me dinner and read out loud to me. It was funny because he was changing his voice. "I don't think that's necessary Joe." I giggled as he was doing a girly voice.

"I think it is necessary. It gives life to the characters." He looks back down at the book. I take the book from him and he sighs. I put both my hands on the sides of his neck. He smiles at me and I kissed him.

"Why don't we put on another movie?" I asked. He takes my chin with his hand.

"Hold up a sec."He whispers looking at my eyes. I was covered in kisses and I was laid down on my back. Our kissing became more passionate and his hands were aching to go under my shirt. I take his wrists.

"The next movie?" I said.

"Oh yes." He stops kissing my neck and gets up. I take the blanket and put it over my head. "Are you tired?" I shrugged.

"I guess. I want to watch the movie." He sits back next to me and put his arm around my shoulder.

"Anything you want." He kissed my temple. I laid my head on his chest. "How long do you have this thing?"

"This thing?" I giggled. The movie started.

"That lady problem you have." He says.

"A week." I sighed. His shoulders sagged. "What?"

"Nothing." He hides his smile though.

"What?" I pinched his arm.

"We won't get to you know." He arched his eyebrows and then he smirks. I smacked his arm. "Ouch. Your so abusive." He rubs the red spot on his arm.

"Your so annoying sometimes." I shook my head.

"That's why I'm loved." He puts his hand to his heart dramatically.

"True." I wrapped my arm around his neck and kissed him.
