Surviving You

Chapter 23

" Damn May!"

I blushed and threw a pillow at Bri.

" Austin go put a shirt on."

Austin, Chase, and Bri all laughed and I blushed even deeper.

We were all lounging around on the couch talking about random things until Austin walked in shirtless. It's been three days since we made love for the first time and he still had the marks on his back.

" Guys. Can we please change the subject?" I begged.

Austin kissed the top of my head.

" I want to touch them!" Bri said, running her fingers across the scratch marks.

" Damn Austin. You really gave it to her, huh?" She said with a grin.

" My mans," Chase said, giving Austin a quick dap.

" Well I waited for what seems like forever. But it was worth it."

" Ok! Who wants to play a game?"

" Let's play a game called what sex positions did Austin and May do."

" Oh my gosh!"

I buried my face in Austin's chest and they all laughed. He got up and he grinned.

" Fine. I'll go put a shirt on."

" Aw. You guys are no fun," Chase and Bri said at the same time.

" Jinx!" Bri said first.

She tackled him and gave him a quick peck.

I smiled and Austin came back, a shirt on as promised. He sat back down next to me and absently wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

We joked around for a couple hours and they left around six in the evening.

" That's completely embarrassing!" I exclaimed as soon as they left.

Austin laughed and kissed my cheek.

" You'll survive babe."

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but to smile.

" Whatever."

" I'm fine. Just bring me some medicine."

I took my hair from his hands and pulled it into a sloppy bun on top of my head.

He left and came back in a second, handing me two pills and a bottle of water.

" May. You've been throwing up almost every morning for the past two months. I'm taking you to the doctor."

As if on cue I began throwing up again and Austin rubbed a hand on my back. Tears ran down my face as I puked. I spit one last time and rested my hands on my knees.

" I'm fine. I promise. Just a cold."

" No cold lasts that long. Come on. Get dressed."

" I'm fine."

" Do I need to carry you to the car?"

I glared at him but he didn't look away.

" Asshole," I mumbled, brushing past him gently.

I slid on a pair of slippers and raised an eyebrow.

" I'm not changing."

" That's fine. It's just a doctor anyway. But let me get dressed real quick."

I went into the living room and looked for the keys, finding them just as Austin walked out the bedroom, dressed in old jeans and a simple blue shirt.
