Chapter Seventeen

Diane

I felt terrible. My head was pounding, and my body felt weak and stiff at the same time. At least I hadn't sweated through my nightgown again.

I shifted on the bed. Wait a second. What the hell kind of pillow do I have? It wasn't soft and fluffy; it was hard.

I opened one eye. It wasn’t a pillow. I opened the other one too. No, this was for sure no pillow. It was a defined male chest.

I lifted my head abruptly, which turned out to be a big mistake. My eyes watered, but I still saw Gabe clearly, sleeping in my bed.

No, hang on. This isn't my room.

I was in his bed.

After a split second of panic, last night's memories rushed in. I'd been sick as a dog in my room, and he'd carried me here and even tried to give me medicine, but I couldn't remember drinking it.

I turned onto my other side, looking at the nightstand. There was a glass. It was only half full. Maybe I'd drunk it in the night and couldn't remember.

My phone was right next to the glass. It was seven o’clock. I slid back under the covers, curling onto one side and putting my head on the pillow this time. But I couldn't find a position I liked. I molded it into a shape I thought would be better, but still, I hated it. No, I had to go back and use Gabe's chest as a pillow.

Carefully placing my head on his skin so I didn't wake him up, I drew in a deep breath. I felt so good here. I couldn't explain it, but I was completely at peace.

I dozed off and only came to myself sometime later. I felt a light touch down my back. Gabe's chest was moving up and down quicker. Even in my hazy, sleepy state, I realized he was probably awake. I moved my head slowly, placing my hand between my chin and his chest. His eyes were wide open.

"Good morning, beautiful. How are you feeling?" he asked.

I swallowed hard. "Not good. My head is swimming. But I'm better than yesterday."

"I'll take care of you today," he announced.

“Nooo, I don’t want to get you sick.”

“My immune system is great. Don’t worry about that.”

"But you said you have a lot of things to do."

"My team has got it handled. Besides, we dealt with the crisis last night, so I have some leeway today." He kissed my forehead. "Stay here in bed while I make breakfast for both of us."

I bit the inside of my cheek as I slid down and put my head on my palm. "I could come and help out," I said half-heartedly. On one hand, I absolutely didn't feel capable of getting out of bed, but on the other, I was a bit afraid of leaving him alone in the kitchen.

"No. I'll take care of everything. You just rest," he said.

My heart grew in size. I touched his chest and then his back as he got out of bed.
