The Nerds Secret

Chap 13: sick day

ELEANOR'S POV:
I woke up in a REALLY comfy bed as I looked around to see I was in Ryders room but he wasn't here and that's when everything from yesterday came back and I stretched. I pushed down the covers only to pull them up because it was freezing God winter was good except for when it was so cold you could freeze to death. I decided to go see where Ryder was sleeping as I felt bad for taking his bed so I got up with the blanket around me and slipped on my glasses before I walked out and I remember him saying there was a guest room next to his room so I decided to see here first and I knocked on the door only to hear shuffling and a door knob movie as I waited on the other side. Soon the door opened to relieve a dead looking Ryder as I he gave me a weird look at how I had the blanket over me only letting my face feel the coldness.

"You look like death you okay?" I asked as he nodded.

"Yeah I'm *sneeze* fine" he said as I have him a look.

"Are you sure I mean you don't look well" I said as he nodded.

"Yeah *sneeze* I'm all *sneeze* good" he said as I stuck my hand out and put it on his forehead and raised an eyebrow.

"Your sick my friend come with me" I said as I grabbed his hand and walked him to his room.

"What *cough* are you * cough cough* doing?" He asked as I took the blanket off me and put it over him and I was hit with a cold gust of air man it must be snowing outside.

"I'm going to get your parents and say that you are sick" I said as he laughed.

"My parents are at work *sneeze* and my sister is a daycare good luck" he said as I smirked and got my phone out.

"Well looks like I'm looking after you then" I replied as I texted mum that I'll be coming home later today.

"No you don't have to" he said as I put my phone away and nodded.

"Yes I do because friends look after each other" I said as he sighed.

"Fine" he replied as I smiled.

"Now I'm going to make you some soup but first where is the kitchen again?" I asked as he laughed.

"Down the hallway then down the stairs and the left" he said as I thanked him and walked out of his room and down to the kitchen. This kitchen was huge it was like every mothers home and I know because my mom is always complaining how she wants a massive kitchen. I looked around and to my surprise it wasn't snowing but it must just be very cold today. I began to make my mums famous chicken and corn soup and I found some medication for him to take with a glass of water. Once I finished I found a tray and I placed all the things on it before walking back to his room. I opened his door and I saw him watching TV as he looked at me and sat up and I placed it on his lap.

"Enjoy and I found some medication for you to take every four hours and can I have a shower?" I asked as he nodded.

"Yeah it's just down the hall you'll see it and thanks" he said as I nodded and grabbed my bag before I walked out of the room and to the bathroom were I had my shower. Once I was finished I put on my grey sweatpants and my sweater with a pair of socks so my feet would freeze and I put my beanie back on and slipped my glasses on. I walked out and back to his room to see he had finished as I put my bag down and he smiled at me.

"That was really good soup what is it?" He asked as I smiled and sat on the end of the bed.

"It's my moms famous chicken and corn soup it always helps me when I'm sick and there's some more in the fridge if you want it later" I replied as he took his tablets and I took the tray and walked back down to the kitchen and washed it up and put them away before walking back up to his room to see him asleep as I watched the tv on the floor waiting for the four hours to be up so i knew to give him his tablets.

_*_*_

It's been four hours and I went to get a glass of water and his tablets as I walked back up to see he was still asleep and I tapped him as his eyes slowly opened.

"Wakey wakey sleeping beauty" I said as he moved around and sat up.

"I'm not a girl" he said as he yawned.

"Well you could be" I said as he glared at me but I just smiled.

"You suck" he said as I nodded.

"I know but here I am looking after the bad boy who is sick" I said as he sighed.

"You don't have to" he said as laughed.

"I know but I'm nice" I said as he looked at me and then sneezed and I laughed.

"I hate sneezing" he said as we both laughed.

"Don't we all" I said as he smiled.

"Did you regret kissing me yesterday?" He asked out of the blue as I felt my heart stop and I remembered the tablets.

"You have to take your tablets four hours is up" I replied as I handed them to him and he took them.

"Did you?" He asked as I looked around for another distraction because I didn't want to answer this question right now.

"I gotta take this back to the kitchen" I said taking his empty glass and walking out of his room as I slowly walked down to the kitchen and washed it up before I put it away and walked back up to his room to see him still awake as I walked in and sat at the end of the bed.

"Did you regret it or not?" He asked as I gulped.

"Can we not talk about this please?" I asked as he looked at me.

"Why I just want to know?" He asked as I broke the eye contact and looked away.

"Because...... I just don't want to talk about it right now okay" I replied as he sighed.

"Fine well I'm going to go back to sleep and try to feel better for school tomorrow" he said as I nodded and he turned away from me and I hopped of the bed and grabbed my bag before I heard snors and I turned off his tv and walked out of his room and shut the door before I walked to my car and sat in the drivers seat as I sighed and rested my head on the steering wheel before I sat up and drove home.

Once I got home I parked the car and grabbed both my bags and walked inside to see my family all sitting on the couch as they looked at me and smiled.

"Hey honey how was your sleepover?" Mom asked as I smiled.

"Good" I replied as I walked to my room and out my dirty clothes in my washing basket and put everything away before I put my bags away and laid down on my bed and just thought about that question he asked me did I regret kissing him? Did I regret his warm pink lips on mine? Did I regret our almost makeout? Did I regret how close our body's were? Did I regret the fireworks from the kiss? Did I regret the kiss altogether? I don't know but what I do know is that I'm not telling anyone this stays between me and him.
