Rapacious Lover

Chapter 14:

[Unedited]-sorry for any mistakes.

(Kayani)

I woke up with an un-ignorable feeling in my stomach. Gigi's legs were sprawled across me, so I roughly pushed them off and ran towards to bathroom as fast as I could.

Fortunately, I just about made it to the toilet, before the warm putrid feeling rising up my throat emptied it self out in the the bowl. I felt something touch my head causing me to look up to see Gigi. She took the band from around me hair and but my hair into a sloppy bun. "I'm going to get you some peppermint tea, I'll be right back." I made a small appreciative smile before my head was back between the hole, liquid falling like rain.

The tingling, yet almost burning sensation, that was left in the throat and mouth after a chocking up the last amount of liquid my body could find made my throat feel sore.

I slumped myself onto the ground holding my stomach, which I realised was more bloated that usual. Have I been eating that much in this two weeks. "Damn babe, this stomach flu is really getting to isn't it. You've been sick for two days now." Gigi said, as she walked into the bathroom. She handed me the steaming cup of tea to witch I instinctively blew to cool down.

"Maybe it's food poisoning. We've been trying a lot of weird and new foods this summer maybe it's catching up to us, well me." I suggested, before taking a few sips of my tea to realise it was nowhere near being peppermint tea. "That's really strong man." My throat sung from the after test of the tea. "I thought you said peppermint tea."

She took the cup from me and took a small sip crunching her face from the taste. "It was meant to but Catalaya said that garlic and lemon tea with a touch of honey will cure you." She told me putting the cup on the nearby table. "Apparently I have to rub you you vapour rub if you get hot."

Before I could another another outburst of vomit entered the toilet. That lasted for another hour or so before I began to calm down, but Gigi refused to let me leave the bathroom, since the first time I tried I threw up on the carpet in our room.

Gigi patted my back gently as I hung over the toilet, going in soothing circular motions. "Are you feeling any better?" She ask, sticking yet another stick on thermometer on my forehead.

I nodded and eased myself from the toilet bowl. "I haven't thrown up in a solid hour so I think I'm good." I answered attempting to stand up. I looked at the bathroom's clock to see it was now 9 o'clock. Dimitri was going to be here soon and I really wanted to go on this date with him. It was going to be my first ever real date and I was really excited.

She grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back down on the the cold concrete floor. "I'm not taking any chance with you." She proclaimed. "Stay right there. I'm going to ask Sasha to make you that delicious Chinese soup to make you feel better." She got up from the edge of the tub she was sitting on and headed towards the door.

I smiled. "I appreciate but really am feeling much better." I urged, trying to convince her.

She kissed her teeth as she turned around to face me. "You really want to go on that date, huh?" She questioned folding her arms on top her chest. She could always read me like a boob. I nodded, a grin slowly appearing in my face. She sighed. "Fine."

"I was going to go even before if you said no." I told her.

She glared at me. "You have four hours until he comes pick you up. You go shower and rest while I force Sasha to make the soup." She ordered me, grabbing in the my hand as she helped me up.

"Thank you."

"I'm going to take you to the doctor tomorrow. I don't think it's just a stomach bug." She said before walking out the bathroom.
