XENIA'S POV:

I absolutely hate getting out of the bed early in the morning. It's only six thirty five right now and I am here emptying the contents of my stomach in the toilet. I have been feeling extremely nauseous ever since we had that Chinese takeout a couple of days ago. I should probably go and see a doctor today, my stomach hurts really bad.

Flushing the ejected matter, I brush my teeth and rinse it with a mouthwash. I dislike throwing up to a level that I would rather hold it in and be green then let it out and be pale.

Washing my face, I strip out of the clothes and hop in the shower. The knots and tightening of my sore muscles, relaxing at once.

As I was washing my body, I noticed the familiar dark purplish marks on my wrists, waist and hips that Xander left. He'd probably stop having sex with me if he sees these. Knowing him, he will most likely think that he is hurting me.

Not that it doesn't hurt but hey I am not one to complain.

I turn the shower dials off and dry myself with a towel then wrap it around my body and step out. The sound of Xander's soft snores reaching my ears as soon as I near him.

Pulling the comforter on him, I kiss his forehead and he stirs a little making me go still until his breathing evens out again.

I walk inside our closet and see the sun still hidden behind the clouds from the window but nonetheless the sky was dimly illuminated by its rays.

Putting on a pair of faded blue jeans with white top, I slip into my white chuck taylor and grab a pink jacket to go with.

By the time I come in the kitchen, it's eight in the morning already. Xander must wake any minute now.

I start making coffee and pancakes for the both of us. A pair of strong, tan arms wrap around my waist and I smile knowing already who's the owner.

"Morning." I greet him.

"Mm, where you off to this early in the morning?" he asks. His voice comes out muffled as his head is buried in my hair.

"I have to meet Leo for the investigation we were going to carry out which got delayed due to some... uneventful..circumstances." I inform him as I plate the last pancake.

"And?" he turns me around.

"And what?" I frown.

"I'm sensing an 'and' which you're obviously going to hide." he rolls his eyes.

I hit his chest with my hand and can't help but let a small smile grace my lips.

He always knows. Always.

"I have to go see a doctor as well. My stomach hurts ever since we had that Chinese." I scrunch my face and he frowns.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" his eyes showed extreme concern
