*Around 6 am in the morning*
My eyes snapped open when I heard the alarm ringing, indicating it was already six in the morning. I yawned tiredly and was about to get up from the bed when I felt something around my waist weighing me down.
I looked down to see Ryan's arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I turned to face him and saw his eyes was tightly shut, he was still deep asleep. Deciding not to wake him up, I tried to move his arms slowly so I would stand up but he had other plans.
He tightened his grip on my waist and pulled me closer to him and made my back rest on his chest.
"Trying to run away from me wifey??" I heard him say. I shivered as his manly breath fanned my ear. He was just asleep right now. How come he is awake?? He tuned me to face him.
"Good morning." He added as he pecked my lips softly and gave me a breathtaking smile, showing off his dimples. One of his facial characteristics that had drawn me to him to him when we had first met.
"Morning." I answered as I smiled back at him.
"Where were you running off to?" He asked as he lifted himself up so he could stay above me but was careful enough not to rest his full weight on me.
"It's 6 am already. I wanted to help you prepare for work. You know you have an important meeting to attend to this morning." I reminded.
His eyes dilated in surprise as he started at the wall clock at the edge of our room.
"Shoot!!" He exclaimed as he jolted out of the bed.
"Why didn't you wake me up??" He asked.
"You're awake now." I said as I also stood up from the bed. He took off his clothes and practically ran into the bathroom making me chuckle.
I left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast for him. I wanted him to have tea and toast since that's the fastest meal to make this morning. I opened the fridge to pick up some of the things I would need when an irritating smell reached my nose.
My eyes searched around frantically to see what was smelling so bad till I saw the fresh fish I had bought yesterday. I picked it up and noticed that it hadn't spoilt yet but the smell emitting from it was enough to make me puke.
I couldn't hold myself back so I dropped the fish and rushed to the toilet. I held my tummy as I puked out all the food I had eaten last night.
When I was done, I flushed the toilet and washed my face.
"Are you alright?" I heard Ryan's concerned voice as he walked into the toilet.
"Yes. Just an abnormal reaction to the fish in the fridge." I answered as I used my fingers to brush my messy hair.
"But you bought them yesterday. How come they've gotten spoilt already??" He asked.
"I don't know." I muttered and was about to leave the toilet when I felt another wave of nausea hit me.
I ran towards the cubicle and puked my gut out while Ryan patted me slowly on my back to help. When I was done, he helped me walk back into the room. I sat tiredly on the bed as I felt a pounding headache coming.
"Are you sure you are alright?? You weren't this sick last night." Ryan said worriedly as he felt my temperature.
"I'm fine. It will soon pass." I answered, brushing off the uneasiness I was feeling.
"How about you go to the hospital for a check up so we can know what is wrong." Ryan suggested.
"There is no need for that. I will be alright." I answered as I tried to stand up but plumped back on the bed when another migraine hit me. I held my head as I groaned in pain.
"That's it. I'm taking you to the hospital." Ryan said and was about to pick up his car keys when I held him back.
"Have you forgotten about the meeting you have today?" I asked.
"I'll drop you off at the hospital before going to the office." He answered.
"But you'll be late." I answered.
'That's not a problem." "Ryan, why don't you head there. I'll go to the hospital myself." I suggested.
"Lily...."
"Just listen to me." I cut him off.
"Okay. Make sure to go to the hospital." He said.
"Yeah yeah.. I have heard you already." I answered tiredly as I laid back on the bed so the migraine would pass. He placed a peck on my forehead before heading back into the bathroom.
I closed my eyes to take a short nap but didn't know when I drifted into a very deep slumber. By the time I woke up, it was already in the afternoon.
I quickly stood up and rushed into the bathroom to take a quick bath. After that, I put on new set of clothes, picked up my purse and left the house.
I boarded a taxi and headed to the hospital. A doctor attended to me. She asked me a few questions and conducted a test on me.
Some minutes later, she came back with a paper on her hand.
"So what's wrong with me doctor? Is it something serious??" I asked.
"No Mrs. Thompson. Quiet the contrary." She answered with a smile as she handed me the paper she was holding.
