~09~The Symptoms

This morning has been hell for me

This queasy feeling I unfortunately woke up with, at first it was bearable but now it's just agonizing

It's like having the flu and then being hit by a truck

I'm not exaggerating, it's that bad

The body aches, the pain, the runny nose all of that then a giant truck running you over, twice

Working by that stupid pregnancy test result my mom got, I should be about 7 weeks pregnant

But I know I'm not pregnant, I just need a logical way to explain all these symptoms

Well, I've not had mood swings, that's usually an earlier stage pregnancy symptom, right?

I hear the phone buzz,on the nightstand which is way on the other side of the bed

With a loud groan, I grudgingly pushed myself off the bed and struggle to the other side

Come down for breakfast

Someone has got to teach this guy some manners

The way he orders people around, I mean I get that he's got maids but everyone deserves a little respect

And now he thinks he can order me around too

I've taken enough ordering around to last me a whole lifetime and when I left mama's house, I said goodbye to all of that

Now!!

The phone buzzed again, has it even been 5 minutes since the last text¿

Then the need hit me

I jumped off the bed and sprinted through the bathroom door and straight to the sink

Yeah, you guessed right, I had to throw up

The irritating taste of vomit fills my mouth as it comes through my open jaw

I rinse my mouth then entire face and then watch the matched up food drifting in water

What is wrong with me?

Walking out of the bathroom, the phone buzzed again

Don't keep me waiting

My throat tighten a bit at reading the, imagine how he would sound saying that to my face, or how he would look

Yeah, that's what I saw

I'm not feeling so well, I'm just gonna take warm bath so you can have breakfast without me or just have fun waiting

I text back for the first time since he started texting me

Hell, I didn't even save his number

Whatever, the phone's not really mine and if I find a way to escape from here, I'm not taking it with me

Placing the phone back on the stand, I walk back into the bathroom and strip from my clothes

Fixing a bath for myself, I get into the bathtub

I plan to spend a lot of time in here, seems to help with the morning sickness

~∆~

When I finally get out of the bathtub, I feel a lot better

By a lot better, I mean I feel tired as f**k like I've slept for like just few hours in the past 2 days

Yeah, totally trashed

I swear, I'm not exaggerating, you try having morning sickness and a bunch load of pregnancy symptoms and being sure as hell you're a virgin

I grab the white towel hanging from the towel bar fixed to the back of the door

I wrap the towel around my chest and stroll out of the bathroom,

I let out a frightened yelp when I notice the figure sitting on the couch

"Oh, you're done" says Mr. Devil with his lips slightly curving in a way I can't tell if it's a smile or a frown

"What are you doing here?" I snap

Yeah, I've been having a bad morning and seeing him just makes it worse

"You mean in my house?"

Asshole

"The room you made me stay in, I mean" I shoot back

Yeah, I'm hella mad right now

He practically kidnaps me, forces me to stay here locked in like a prisoner and he has the guts to ask me that

"You're not feeling well, need a doctor?" He changes the subject

Jerkbag

"No, I need you to let me go" I reply, still really upset

And I don't even know if I mean that

Do I wanna go or stay?

"You spend a really long time taking a bath" he says, totally ignoring what I said

"You spend a really long time sticking your nose where it doesn't belong" I counter

Yeah, it's kinda lame but hey, I'm going through a little something here

"I'll have someone bring up your breakfast and if you're not feeling better later ask Mary to call the doctor, okay?" He asks that rhetorically but I still nod

That totally changed my mood, I guess I was hungry and I didn't even realize it

He gets up and I smile, I watch him walk to the door and I think he felt my eyes on him cos he turned with a smirk

"Take a picture, it's sure to last longer"

"Wait, what's that smell?" I stop him before plastering a smirk on my face "the place reeks of your ego"

And then I saw him smile and I almost have to look away

That was beauty in all forms you look at it

I know, you think I'm exaggerating but I swear it

He has the most dashing smile

"Good one, Goldy" he commends and I can't help the smile that creeps it's way up to my face

That reminds me, he still doesn't know my name and I probably know all there is to know about him

The door clicks shut as he walks out and I actually feel kinda sad

I guess that's what this kind of loneliness does to you

Did you notice the mood swings though?

I mean it's either I just really want food and his smile is just so beautiful and the morning sickness is good enough reason to get mad at little things and it was a bad idea for him to wait for me in the room and...{we were both there, I'm gonna skip the long list} or it's hello mood swings for me

And between those two, we both know what the likely one is

Ugh, the morning sickness and mood swings?

Even I'm starting to belive I'm a pregnant virgin
