Marzia POV:

I woke up, feeling my stomach turning. It hurt more than any stomach ache I've ever experienced.

Then I felt it coming.

I quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom and began to vomit into the toilet.

After about five minutes of nonstop puking, my stomach seemed to have nothing left to project out of my mouth.

I just sat there on the floor, next to the toilet, clutching my stomach.

Felix suddenly walked in and saw me on the floor. His eyes darted from me to the toilet filled with vomit and I worried look fell on to his face.

"What happened?" He knelt down next to me and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

I gesture towards the toilet "Its pretty obvious" I say.

"Do you know what the matter is?" He flushed the toilet, thankfully because the smell was starting to get to me.

I shook my head "Probably just the stomach bug or something"

He grabbed my hands to help me get up. "Come on, you should lie down"

I tried to stand up but then I felt my stomach get upset. I leaned back towards the toilet and threw up some more as Felix held my long hair back.

When I was done, I flushed the toilet and sat back down. "Maybe I should just stay here" I said.

Felix sat down, criss-cross, next to me "Then I'll sit right here next to you"

"Felix, you should go and...I don't know, you have a lot better things to do than sit here with me" I protest.

He shook his head "I'm right here. I'll be here all day if you are" he rubs my back.

I give him a small smile. "Thanks"

He kisses my cheek.

I spend probably another half an hour in the bathroom, vomiting into toilet every two or three minutes, and Felix stays right there by my side. He holds my hair back and rubs my back lightly, reassuring me that I'm going to be okay.

When I think I'm done barfing, Felix and I leave the bathroom and I lie down in the bed to take a nap.

"Felix?" I whisper quietly as I get comfortable.

"Yeah"

"If you have time could you maybe bring me something to drink. My stomach feels so empty right now" I ask "I don't want to be too much trouble but..."

Felix cuts me off "Of course I'll get you some water. Marzia, I'll be here for you all day. Anything you need tell me"

I smile at him "Thank you" I say as he leaves the room.

He comes back a minutes later with a glass of water. He helps me sits up and guides the glass towards my lips helping me sip.

"Thank you" I say as he puts the cup down "That was nice, I feel better" I smile at him.

"Anything for you" he leans in to kiss me but I quickly pull back.

"I don't want to get you sick"

He continues to lean in "I don't care" he whispers before he kisses me slowly.
