Isn't She Lovely: updates vary

s i c k l y

It had been weeks since they had exchanged numbers and the past weeks were indescribable for the two.

Whenever either of them had free time they'd spend hours talking or texting each other. It was as if the whole world disappeared when they spoke. They were so wrapped up in each other that they forgot about everyone else around them.

Haven knew so many things about Coden during these hours they spent communicating. She learned that he was originally from London, which explained his British twanged accent, he was on only child, and that he had a strange obsession with solid colors. She also learned that he cared about her just as much as she cared about him.

Their conversation half an hour ago reminded her just of that bringing a smile to her face.

"Hello." She had answered, her nose slightly congested making her voice sound croaky and odd.

"Are you alright?" Coden's panicked voice had come through the other line.

She sniffled and slightly smiled at his worry. "I'm fine, just a little cold is all." She responded coughing.

"You sound horrid. Are you sure you're alright?" He had asked repeatedly.

"I'm fine Coden." She replied before frowning. "Hey, don't you have an interview right now?"

"Yeah, I'm heading to it right now."

"Good. Now go concentrate on that interview and call me when it's over, okay? I know you'll do great." She encouraged.

"Alright." She heard him laugh on the other end.

She lay in bed reminiscing the times she saw and talked to Coden and if an emoji were to describe her emotions at the moment it would resemble the likes of heart eyes and a wide grin.

Her eyes began to grow heavy as she thought on. As she began dozing off to sleep she was suddenly jolted awake with the sound of her doorbell ringing.

She wondered who was at the door. She had no friends or family in the city so who would visit her, willingly, too.

Groaning, she grabbed her robe and shrugged it on. Slipping into her fuzzy slippers she made her way towards the door.

Meeting with the back of a man she quietly spoke, "How may I help you?"

"I'm wounded. After speaking so much on the phone I'd have expected you to know exactly who I was." A British accent greeted her as familiar green eyes twinkled down at her.

"Coden? What are you doing here?" She asked rubbing her eyes to determine whether this was her imagination playing games with her.

"I would love to explain, but I'd prefer we did this inside. I brought peppermint tea." He winked. Her eyes widened due to the fact that he had remembered that she loved peppermint tea, which she had mentioned in previous conversations.

Opening the door wider she allowed Coden to enter her condo. It was quite surreal to finally see the man she had spent so much time speaking to and dreaming about in her home.

"So, why don't you go lie down while I warm up this soup and make you some hot tea." He suggested as she stood there still gaping at him and marveling his presence.

Grinning he took ahold of her shoulders and led her to her room. Gently pushing her into the bed he tucked her in and Haven almost felt her cheeks go red when she noticed what a wreck her room was. She was always one to be organized but when sick she hadn't even the strength to go to the bathroom. And she could have sworn he hadn't missed her lacy bra that had been so carelessly flung onto her desk chair. Either he didn't see it or he did a great job of showing that he hadn't.

Making his way to the door, he stopped before letting a mischievous smile adorn his face. "Your taste in bras is very sexy."

She felt her cheeks multiply a shade of red before she covered her face with her blanket.

She could hear his deep laugh resonating in the silence of her home and it was oddly comforting knowing that there was another person here to rely on. Another person here to take care of her rather than her sitting in bed for days hoping the medicine she was taking was paying off.

The sound of his humming and the smells of peppermint and an amazing soup filled her condo and she slowly drifted off to sleep knowing that Coden was here. Coden was with her and maybe this time someone won't leave.

A/N:

Short chapter, I know. But I've had this idea in my mind for quite a while and I want their relationship to blossom at a good pace rather than jamming ideas into chapters to make them seem longer. It's short but sweet. Aren't you glad that I don't do cliffhangers because those suck.
