Since we were too lazy to go to work, we agreed not to go to the office today.
I left Richard who was still fast asleep after our umpteenth lovemaking session (I don't know, I don't remember how many times we've done it) and contacted Jess, who immediately greeted me with extraordinary enthusiasm.
"You little bastard! How come you make Richard took a day off without telling me in advance?!"
I held my phone away from my ear for a few moments before putting it back and taking a deep breath.
"Well, it can't be helped since we just found out that Richard has a fever this morning."
"Really?"
Her tone immediately changed to one full of worry when she heard my reason for not having time to contact her.
Even though it wasn't like that, I muttered while nodding slowly, holding back my urge to tell her the truth.
"Yes... Sorry for not telling you."
"That's ok. How is he doing now? Is he ok now?"
