Finding Love

CHAPTER 20 - I am Cupid

Riley; I am Cupid, or at least i tell myself so

The very first thing that welcomed Myles the next morning was the blinding bright light that escaped his curtain blinds, he groaned, cursing as he stood up from his bed to close the curtains. Early morning birdsongs rang in his ears as he got closer to the window, rubbing a finger on his temple, his head throbbed. Slowly and groggily, more like lazily, he reach the curtains, closing them so fast his hands hit each other.

Sighing in relief, he turned, dragging his feet in a bee line to his bed, he latched his left hand unto his stomach as it made a growling sound, which came with a dull ache, and the next thing happening was him running towards bathroom door, but didn't quite make it in time as he began retching, emptying his stomach's content just in front of his bathroom.

Tears gathered at the edge of his eyes as he held unto his stomach tightly, his skin now feeling unusually hot. He slowly got up from the floor, going into his bathroom, taking out a mop and a bucket, cleaned up his mess, opened the very windows he wanted closed, and took a hot shower.

Feeling a bit more better and relaxed, he got out of his room, walking towards the living room, he was currently wearing a new set of pajamas and grey socks, all he need right now was water and then more sleep, he felt as heavy as a log.

"Are you okay?" He heard a small voice from behind him, turning he saw Jeremy standing with a glass of juice, mango as suspected from the welcoming aroma that embraced his nostrils.

"I'm okay dear, just a bit un-" he was cut short by the taste of vomit in his mouth, as he rushed for the sink, puking into it.

"What's that smell?" Jenna asked walking into the kitchen, looking around spotting Myles with his head in the sink. Her curious scolding gaze quickly turned soft and morphed to that of a concerned sister. She took out a bottle of water, rubbing his back as she handed him the water.

"Thanks," he breathed out, he was now panting, his elbows supporting his body on the counter next to the sink. He turned on the tap, rinsing his mouth and spitting into the sink, letting the tap wash down everything.

"What's happening?" A familiar voice asked from besides him, Myles' breath hitched for a second, as he closed his eyes releasing a deep exhale.

He turned to Christian, smiling weakly, "guess I'm a bit under the weather," he joked and laughed at his own joke.

Myles watched a frown flash through Christians face quickly as he turned to facing Jenna, "how far is the hospital?"

"It's right here," Riley chimed smilingly, patting Christian on the back, "I'll take a look at him."

"Uhm, he needs a doctor Riley." Christian replied, holding Riley back.

"And I am one," Riley simply replied with a lopsided grin.

Christian let go of Riley, "Oh."

"Is uncle Myles gonna be okay?" Jeremy asked as he spotted his uncle Riley come out of the study.

"Yes, he will be, just a little medicine and some attending to," he said, bending down to the height of his nephew.

Jenna lets out a sigh as she stood up, "well that settles it. I'll call mom and dad to cancel."
