Bed Warmer

14- And Then He Shared

I woke up surprising myself when I saw no one shaking me awake like they had been doing throughout the night. A note was placed on the pillow next to my head from Charlie telling me that her and Brad left not even ten minutes ago and that I could call them if I needed anything along with a list of numbers of our friends phone numbers in case I hadn't gotten them.

I laid on my back thinking about how to spend my days with no classes and little activity that I can actually do. Maybe if I email the teachers I could get started on what I was missing.

After ten minutes or so when I had talked myself up to actually get out of bed I heard the front door slam. "Hello?" I called out in confusion. It could've been Charlie forgetting something but I couldn't hear the usual sound that her keys made as she opened the door.

"Hey there" Seb popped his head around my door and I clasped my chest in fright.

"Jesus, you scared me" I let out a breathy laugh in relief at seeing the familiar face.

"Sorry" He smiled, pushing the door open wider and sitting on my bed next to me.

"What brings you here?" I asked.

"I'm here to look after my sick patient" He told me with a cheeky smile.

I raised my eyebrow. "Patient?"

"Yep" He popped the p. "I am your official care taker over the next few days"

"And you decided this did you?" I scoffed. "I thought I said yesterday I didn't need help"

"Of course and too bad. You're getting it"

"Okay then as you first task I wish for you to leave the room while I put some clothes on" I said smiling a Seb who turned wide eyed.

"You're not wearing any clothes under there?" He swallowed and studied my bed covers intently.

"Sure I am. If you count panties as clothes" I winked, not missing up on the opportunity to tease him.

"Well then" He mumbled and got up from the bed, muttering to himself as he shut the door.

I shook my head and laughed to myself. Boys.

After much struggle I manage to push myself up from the bed and swing my legs over the side, careful not to add to the throbbing in my side. My head was feeling slightly better but I still felt like I needed to sleep for a few days to make up for the interrupted night I had got.

I walked over to the dresser picking out some cotton pyjama shorts and a loose grey top but putting the clothing on was a whole new task. With huffing and twisting to try and wiggle into my clothes without having to lift my right arm of bend over, I decided to call it quits.

"Seb" I called screwing my eyes shut at the blush that was no doubt covering my face as I realised what I had to do.

"Yeah?" He called, opening the door but not looking.

"I need your help and you can't be a pervert about it" I said, shifting my feet and using my left hand to cover my chest.

"Okay..." He trailed off stepping into my room at looking at my nearly naked form.

I felt my blush deepen but refused to acknowledge it. "I can't put these clothes on without hurting myself" I said frustrated at the stupid injuries.

"Right" He cleared his throat, shaking his head to pick up my clothes. I had to give him credit, he was trying hard not to stare at my bare chest as he carefully guided my arms into the right holes.

"Thanks" I smiled once he was done. I knew my face was bright red but I didn't miss the slightly blush on Seb's face.

"No problem" He waved it off and turned to leave but not before I grabbed his arm.
