Marshall came back with the glass of water I requested as well as a new box of tissues seeing as I managed to sneeze my way through a whole box

He had a goofy grin plastered across his face that made my heart begin its rampage against my rib cage and I was almost sure that if the human skeletal structure didn't have a rib cage ,my heart would be half way to China by now

He handed me the glass of water which I took gratefully and took a sip before placing it on the coffee table

"Thanks" I said feeling a little more comfortable speaking even though my voice was barely audible

"Its only a pleasure sweetheart ,besides I got to talk to your parents and Cristina said that she would call once the soup is ready" he said as he pulled me into his side

I tried to clear my throat but flinched when it immediately aggrivated a cough ,I inwardly curswed myself for staying out in London's freezing rain

"Sorry ....I just *sneeze*..never mind" I rasped out before huffing and getting up to go stand at the terrace doors

"What's the matter love?" Marshall asked

*sneeze*,i grabbed a tissues and blew out my nose rifusing to try and speak since I sounded like a crap

"Awww ,honey ..you look so cute when you pout" he said and I rolled my eyes

I picked my phone up and typed a message before sending it to Marshall

I sound like crap and my throat is soar so I might as well just send you a message since I won't sneeze or cough half way through a sentence

Marshalls phone dinged on the arm of the couch and I shoed him to go fetch it while I sneezed again

He raised and eyebrow at me a if to say "are you serious right now" I simply nodded and waited for a reply but none came

Instead Marshall advanced toward me with a smirk on his face ,I moved backwards and continued to do so till I was backed up against the book shelf

This felt oddly familiar and I began to thinknwhy I never seemed to dust the shelf anymore ,and as if to agree with myself I sneezed again but Marshall didn't move

He placed his palm on the bookshelf beside my head effectively blocking me from moving and I huffed

"What's thee matter, is something wrong love?" He asked in a teasing voice

I nodded my head to agree ,but instead just fdelt dizzy and leaned unto the bookshelf to stable myself

"Well ,how am I going to know what is going through that head of yours and what you want ,if you don't talk to me ?" He asked ,and I rolled my eyes at this suddenly cocky marshall

I raised my phone up and shook it in front of his dace hoping he would get the message ,but instead he grabbed it out of my hand and threw it into the bed behind him
