I couldn't believe it. I had gotten sick ON our anniversary.
Since there is no such thing as marriage anymore, we decided to make our anniversary when we started dating because there would be no anniversary to look forward to.
I was lying in bed with my arm over my eyes when the door creaked open.
"Good morning beautiful. Today is a very very special day!"
I removed my arm from my face and opened one eye.
I was about to speak when I breathed funky and got a tickle in my throat.
I let out a harsh hoarse cough and Louis looked shocked.
He put the bowl of food down and walked over to me.
"Are you okay??" He asked nervously.
I groaned as my head pounded.
"Are you sick?" He asks.
I nodded and opened my eyes.
"Not sick of me right?" He cracked a smile.
"Never." I spoke.
"Good." He kissed me on the forehead and got up.
"Where are you going?" I ask, reaching my arms out.
He walked back over and hugged me tightly.
"I'm gonna go see if ruby has anything for you. Okay?"
"Okay." I mumbled and laid back down.
"Don't move." He joked.
"Don't worry. I wont." I laughed a little.
He looked back with a smile and then walked out.
I waited in silence, almost drifting back to sleep from my worn out body when the door opened.
"Oh sugar. Are you okay?" Ruby asked.
"Does it look like I'm remotely okay?"
"Oh sweetie. I'll go get her some medicine."
Louis nodded and he sat by my bedside.
"Why is everyone acting like I'm dying?" I joked.
"Being sick nowadays is very dangerous. If you have certain things you could die from them. We don't have a lot of treatments anymore, so you may be in trouble."
"I'm not gonna die am I?" I asked, now worried.
"Don't worry yourself baby. You'll be fine. Just focus on betting better."
I nodded and Ruby walked back in.
Ruby did everything she could to determine what I had.
"Well, you don't seem too sick. A light fever, cough and runny nose. Not fatal."
"Oh thank god." I sighed.
"Here. Drink this and keep water in your system. Get a lot of rest and keep eating. Luckily you're not throwing up. That's great for us."
I drank the glass and Ruby left.
Louis walked over with a bowl of soup and spoon fed me.
"I can feed myself, you know?"
"No way. You need as much energy as you can get. The more energy you have, the quicker your body can fight."
I smiled at him as he put the bowl down.
"Ya know, when I was little I'd always laugh at the thought of our immune system. Tiny little cells fighting germs." He made little punching movements which made me laugh "I'd always think that germs would have scars across their faces and the cells would have fedoras and trench coats." He popped his coat collar.
I laughed a little harder.
"Okay okay! Stop! I can't breathe!" I spoke through heavy breaths.
I started to cough.
"Oh I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to make you cough."
"No no. It's fine!"
"O-Oh, Okay."
"Louis you don't have to baby me. I'm not a glass bottle."
Louis leant down and kissed me all over my forehead.
"Yes I do. It's in my job requirement section."
"Job of what?"
"Being your boyfriend" he flicked his wrist like he was opening a paper and pretended to read "in section four, paragraph 5, bulletpoint three, it says: it is your job and you're job alone to make your girlfriend feel like she is a princess. Make her feel like she's a glass slipper and the only one in the world. Love and care for her like you would your favorite item in the world."
I rolled my eyes at his statement and smiled. He pretended to fold the paper up again and he put it in his pocket.
"So there. It is my job to baby you. Forever and always." He kissed my forehead and stood up.
"Get some sleep precious. I'll come check up on you in a little bit. Goodnight."
"Night."
"Louis!" I called.
"Yeah?" He asked and turned around.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For ruining our anniversary. I know you were excited."
"It's okay beautiful. There's no greater gift them taking care of you."
He tucked me in further and walked out.
I went to bed feeling the tingle from his kiss.
