Chapter Eight

It was three weeks after Romeo and I started dating,I sighed and opened my eyes.Romeo was still asleep,i detached his arms from my body and stood up.I stretched,then walked downstairs to make some coffee.I shivered,it was cold this morning.I looked down,remembering i went to bed without pants.Oh well,it'll warm up.I started boiling the kettle,then from upstairs heard a loud groan.Followed by,"it's too early!"wailed Romeo.I giggled,grabbed two cups and made his extra strong.I heard Romeo come down the stairs,his eyes still partially closed.He stumbled into the kitchen,came up behind me and hugged me.He kissed my cheek.

"Why'd you get out of bed..."

"Because its morning,I'm awake and its six thirty,"i replied.Romeo placed his head in the crook of my neck.Shaking his head,I tried not to laugh as i stirred the warm elixir.I turned around,kissed him softly and then went to return to work."No that's not far,"muttered Romeo.I giggled as he turned me around and kissed me again,for longer. I pulled back,then hit his arm lightly."Well we got to be at the guild at eight,so lets have breakfast and then get ready.I packed your bag last night since you fell asleep,"i informed.Romeo gave me a sheepish grin and scratched his neck.I kissed his cheek and put the coffee cup in front of his chair,then grabbed out some toast.Romeo grabbed the jam.

"You're freaking amazing i swear,"said Romeo.I laughed but was quickly was hit with the smell of fruit,then i held my stomach.I groaned,i was just hit with some bad nausea.I rubbed my stomach,"you alright?"asked Romeo.I shook my head and walked over to the table,still holding my stomach.Romeo popped the toast,then made it and came over."Wow,i just felt so sick..."I muttered.Romeo frowned,but he pushed the toast towards me.I smelt the fruit from the jam again,this time actually needing to throw up.I ran to the bathroom,holding my hair back as i threw up.I heard Romeo grab a glass of water,he followed me.

I leaned against the wall,looking at him."Can you move the toast away?It's making me sick"i asked,Romeo passed me the water then he walked back to the table,moving the toast.He came back,and helped me up."Come on,lets have a coffee and we'll get something at the guild,"suggested Romeo.I nodded and then followed his steps to the table.He pulled the chair out and tucked me in."Are you allergic to fruit or something?"asked Romeo,i shook my head.I'd eaten that bread and that jam before,why did it suddenly make me sick?

"No,it shouldn't make me sick.Maybe i just ate something bad."

Romeo shrugged,"could have.Come on,let's have this and we can get ready,"said Romeo.I nodded and took a few sips of the drink.It soothed the sickness,but not too much.I drank the rest in five minutes,wanting to just get it over with.Romeo finished his,then we began to get ready.I walked up the stairs,following him.Once i got into Romeos room i sat down on his bed,still feeling sick.Romeo frowned."You sure you're okay?"asked Romeo,i nodded.Romeo walked into my room and grabbed something,he returned with a dress,sandals and bra.He passed them to me.

"Take your time."

I thanked him and took off his jumper,putting on my bra and dress.I stood up and walked into the bathroom,I brushed my teeth and pulled my hair into a ponytail.I looked in the mirror,staring at the reflection.I looked just behind me,Romeo had his back facing the mirror,he was looking for something.I admired his toned body,watching as he found what he was looking for.He pulled his vest over,letting the maroon coloured vest slip onto his shoulders.He turned around and tied it with his white belt.He looked up and saw me,giving me a smirk.I looked down at the sink counter,grabbing some deodorant.I felt a warm body press against me.

"You were looking at me."

I laughed quietly,he kissed the crook of my neck.I relaxed under his touch."Do you feel better?"asked Romeo.I nodded,noting that the feeling in my stomach felt much better.Then i turned around to look him in the eye,"did you pack something for the ball?Remember the queen is celebrating her newborn son,"i asked.Romeo's head was in between my shoulder and neck,his lips gently kissing the skin.He murmured something,clearly distracted.I felt his warm hands snake their way around my waist.I grabbed his head and gently guided it to my lips.My hand rubbed the side of his face.Romeo pulled me closer to him,pressing his body to mine.
