Chapter Eleven

I groaned as I leaned back in my seat, trying to stem the nausea in my guts. I didn’t know what the hell was wrong with me, but I had a meeting later today, and I didn’t want to miss out on it.

"You okay?" Tina asked me, frowning with concern in my direction, and I nodded.

"I’m fine, I’m fine," I muttered, rubbing my hand over my face. "Just...I think I have a stomach bug or something, that’s all."

"Huh, that’s weird," she remarked. "Nobody else in the office has one..."

She saw the look on my face, how queasy I felt, and lifted her hands.

"But hey, if you need anything, just let me know, okay?" she suggested. I nodded, closing my eyes, too sick to thank her.

It had to be the stress. It had to be, right? The stress of making a decision about this new job they had just offered me. I still couldn’t believe they actually wanted me to be here long-term. It had come as a total shock.

But, since I had gotten the offer nearly a week ago, I had been waking up feeling unwell. I had been dragging myself into work, but I really wanted to take some time off to gather myself and work out what the hell was going on; I just needed to rest. The intensity of it all getting too much for me. It had to be that, right?

I had a meeting with Ian later in the day, and I wanted to be on top form for it. I hadn’t let him see what was going on with me, not wanting him to worry. In fact, I had been making a point of cooling things off since I’d spent the night at his place because my emotions had been flying all around since then.

I was starting to fall for him, and I knew I had to hold myself back. Just because he had let me stay at his place didn’t mean he would fall head-over-heels in love with me. Nothing had changed; I had just slept in his bed one time, and I wasn’t going to turn it into some grand romance. I knew I would have been crazy to, and I didn’t want to let any of that get to me. I had to keep myself together, even though it was tempting to just go to him and admit how I felt.

If I just gave myself some time to think, I would remember why it was a bad idea, and I would get over it. I would get over the feelings I had for him. We were just about sex, about having fun and blowing off some steam, and to turn it into something more than that would have been a crazy mistake.

Maybe it was trying to distance myself from him that had me feeling such a mess. It was just withdrawal from our closeness, and I was looking forward to my symptoms finally dropping off.

He had invited me to his place again, but I had turned him down.
