My sweetheart caught a flue

He is my sweetheart and he is like no other sweetheart, he is a piece of my soul, if he aches I ache with him.

He has been sick in bed for 2 days now and I have hardly got some sleep at night thinking about him. Last night it was impossible for me to sleep, not after he called informing me that his fever is getting worse. We hung up, and my heart ached heavily.

I lay down at my bed, tried to get some rest, but I couldn't. So I finally got up, went to the kitchen and baked some cookies with lots of love and prayers asking God that he gets well soon.

I then showered, put on my best shirt and the sweet scent that he likes, grabbed the cookie jar and walked all the way down to his place.

He was thrilled to see me, gave me a nice compliment on my shirt, mumbled something about how better he feels when I am around and ate lots of cookies.

I took a seat on the side of the bed, somewhere close enough to smell his body, looked closely at his pale face, then his beautiful eyes and his perfectly carved nose with the right amount of freckles, and suddenly he gave me that smile �" the one that I only know - which distracted me.

"Thank you princess", he said. "Do you know that every time you bake me something I fall deeper in love with you?"

I blushed and laughed while he stroked a lose strand of my hair.

He took my hand, kissed it, turned it over and kissed it again then rested his face on the palm of my hand. And I felt safe.

We had the whole day ahead of us, for us. We read parts of our favorite books, ordered pizza for lunch, I gave him his medicines. Talked and talked and laughed. Concluded that being sick is not so bad after all, it gave us an unexpected quality time together which made us fall deeper in love.

 

 And that is just a sample of my sweetheart and I. 

Author's Note

It is just a flue. I know. But when it comes to my sweetheart I can't handle watching him go through the simplest means of pain, this might sound cheesy, but it is real. I love him.
