Jade

Her legs ached and sticky strands of hair stuck to her face, but she couldn't care less. It felt way too good.

She was surprised to find out she was still sweaty as she woke up, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust. She hated sweating.

But she couldn't be angry. If Beck was the one making her sweat, she wouldn't mind.

She unwrapped his arms from her bare waist and stood up, collecting her clothes scattered around the room. She grabbed a t-shirt from his drawer, hoping he wouldn't mind, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

But she didn't expect to feel arms wrap around her waist again just moments after she started her shower.

She leaned back against him, marvelling his warmth as he rubbed his thumbs against her hips softly, enjoying the water running down their bodies in ecstasy.

"Have you ever craved anything?" She murmured as the hot water streamed down her skin. "Like, have you ever wanted something, but you know you can't have it?"

"Yes," he answered, pulling her body to him. "I crave this one thing all the damn time."

She craned her neck to look up at him. "What is it?"

He pressed his lips against her shoulder and replied, "you."

"Let's try something new today," Beck said cheerfully. "How bout some strawberries? Do you wanna try some of those?"

She shrugged, honestly not even caring about trying to eat anymore.

"Angel," he sighed, and that word alone made her stomach do flips. "Try for me, okay?"

She sighed and nodded. She would try, but only for him.

He grinned happily and placed a plate of strawberries in front of her, and she held one in her hand, lifting it to her lips.

She slowly took a bite, but spit it back out almost instantly.

Gross.

Beck sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Okay, no strawberries then. How bout some applesauce?"

He set a cup of applesauce down in front of her with a spoon, and she gagged and pushed it away, not even bothering to try and eat it.

"Angel."

"No."

"Baby."

"No."

"Babe."

"I said no, Beck!"

He put his hands up in mock-surrender. "Okay, okay, fine. I'm just trying to help you, Jade."

"I-I can't eat, okay?" Her stomach churned and flipped, making her nauseous. "I don't feel good."

"I can't stand seeing you not eating," he said softly, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her to his chest, her chin resting on his shoulder. "I feel guilty for eating in front of you. I really think we should go to the doctor. Just in case."

"No," she said stubbornly, and he let out another sigh.

"You're so stubborn."

"Then just leave already!" She yelled angrily at him. "Leave if I'm too stubborn for you!"

"Angel, no, that's not what I meant and you know it." He kissed her head soothingly and she sighed against him.

"Sorry."

"It's okay." He rested his chin on the top of her head, rubbing circles on her back. "You'll get through this. We'll figure something out."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
