{Chapter 8: Sick Days}

Chapter Eight: Sick Days

I blow my nose for the tenth time. Ugh I hate sick days!!! And I hate missing school!!

I know what the hell? Why would you miss school? Well I only miss my dance class.

I looked at myself in my gold dresser mirror.

I'm wearing my light pink Nike Pros and a white hoodie.

I'm sitting on my white comfy couch on my back porch that was connected with my pool.

As I was wrapped in my purple cheetah print blanket, my phone buzzed next to me.

Pizza Boy:

Hey what time do you want me to pick you up?

Me:

I'm sorry! I'm sick! And shouldn't you be in school?

Pizza Boy:

Yeah I'm about to leave my house.

Me:

Oh okay and I can't make it to our date

Pizza Boy:

Okay. I'm going to the store instead baby doll

Me:

Wait. What about school?

He just read it with no reply. Sigh. I got up and walked inside my house. Still wrapped up in my blanket.

"Hey sweetie. Your brothers are going out today and won't be back until tomorrow." My mom said fixing herself up.

"Uh okay. Can you or dad stay home with me today? " I said. Then sat on my couch coughing hard.

"Sorry honey! But your dad just left and I have a really important client to see. She's from Japan." My mom said grabbing her car keys.

"Ugh!" I groaned into a couch pillow. I heard the door open and close. Great. I repeat myself, I. Hate. Sick. Days.

Then the doorbell rang. I got up and started coughing on my way to the door.

Once I opened it, I see Kasden holding two publix bags. And he was smiling at me.

"Can I come in kitten?" He asked. I sighed and nodded. After he walked in, I closed and locked the door.

"So why aren't you at school?" I asked leading him inside the kitchen.

He put the bags on the island. And got out three tomato soup cans, some medicine, and a two liter Coke bottle. My mouth dropped.

"Well baby doll, I want to take care of you then my grades today." I don't care if you guys think it doesn't make any sense, but I think that's the sweetest shit ever!

"Wow, um thanks." I said. He chuckled and opened a can of tomato soup. Then got out a pot and put it on the stove. Then poured the soup in it.

"Anytime sweetheart. Now go and watch a movie." He said shooing me out. I rolled my eyes.

I went back in the living room and sat on my couch.

And played Frozen. I love this movie!

Call me a kid. But this movie is the bomb!! As I was enjoying the movie, Kasden comes in with a two white bowls on a wooden tray.

And two hot pink plastic cups.

"Awh look at the bad boy having a little bit of pink." I said grinning at him. He rolled his eyes. Then placed the tray on the coffee table.

"Yeah whatever. Now eat your soup. It will help." He said giving me a spoon. He's too sweet.

We just sat there and sipped our soup. And watched Frozen.

"So, have you seen Frozen before?" I asked him. He nodded. Then pur his now empty bowl down.

"My niece is into it. She always makes me watch it with her." He said. I sighed.

"Oh that's cool. So you're an uncle?" I asked him as I was drinking my delicious coke.

"Yeah Alaina is her name. She's seven years old. And my older sister's daughter." He said taking a drink from his cup.

"Oh, wow. Urm what's your sister's name? And age?" I asked. He put his cup down.

"Danielle. And she's 24. Her husband's name is Adam." He said. Scooting back on the couch.

"Oh that's cool." I said. Man I sound stupid.

"Yeah, so how about your brothers? First Kevin, I kind of know Dean." Oh okay.

"Um, well, he went to FAU and played soccer there. And he did at our high school. He's training to be a soccer coach. And he broke up with his girlfriend over the summer." I said catching my breath.

Kasden chuckled.

I then glared at him then let out an ugly yawn.

He moved me to where my legs were stretched out on the couch and the back of my head was on his lap. I was looking at him.

"Comfortable baby doll?" He asked. I blushed. Our lips were getting close to each other.

"Wait, I'm sick. And I-I don't want to get you sick." I said. He smirked then kissed my chin.

"Your. Worth. It." He said. As we both inched our lips close together.

Then we got interrupted by my dad walking in from the front door. I instantly sat up.

"Hey sweetie sorry I forgot my wallet. Oh hey Kasden tell your dad I say hey okay?" What the hell!?

They know each other!??!

"Hey sir. And yeah I'll tell him." He said. My dad nodded then walked out of the front door.

"How the hell do you know my dad!? Like he's my dad!!!" I squealed.

Kasden just smiled lovingly at me.

"My dad works with him." He said nonchalantly.

What?!? Where was I?

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey I don't want to go to bed!!" I said crossing my arms and sitting on my bed.

"Come on sweetheart. It helps with your cold." He said as he lifted me up and put me under the covers.

"Fine. Thank you for taking care of me today." I said. He smiled then kissed my forehead.

"Of course baby doll. I always take care of the people that means the most to me." After he turned off the light.

I went straight to sleep.
