The Hired Player

Flu Bug!

******************************Ryan's POV***************************

It was the first time I hadn't thrown up in the last 8 hours. Yesterday, I caught the flu that was going around work. I'm glad that the little boy that brought it in was better now thou because he was really sick.

I just hope that Riley didn't catch it now. I was miserable, I couldn't even stand 3 hours without throwning up. I felt bad because Riley had to be the doctor of me when I'm the actual doctor.

"Hey, You okay?" I asked her as she laid in the living room.

"No." She replied.

"You caught it didn't you?" I asked.

"You could say that." She replied.

"Awe, I'm really sorry babe."

"It's fine..." She said but got intrupted by running to the bathroom.

Sh*t! She has that big article to turn in today too! I followed her into the bathroom and there she was throwning up. I bend down beside her and pulled her long brown hair out of her face.

"I really am sorry." I said rubbing her back.

"It's not your fault... I'll be fine.. Your gonna be late for work." She said.

"I'm not leaving you here alone. I'll call Ethan." I said.

"No you already missed one day this week." She said.

"So did you... You were my doctor yesterday and now I will be yours."

"I can't miss work either. I have to go today still." She said.

"No, Are you crazy? As your doctor I say you are strickly to stay home."

"Well good thing your a children's doctor." She teased as she got up.

"Riley Marie Nixon! You are staying home wheather you like it or not." I said grabbing her waist plopping her on my lap.

"Ryan, I'm fine." She said.

"You are not!" I said. "How long have you been up for?"

"I...Just got up." She said.

"Lies." I said.

"Fine, 2." She said.

"Why do you feel so hot?" I asked while our foreheads touched.

"I think I have a fever." She said.

"Can I please just do my job babe?" I asked.

"Fine.. you win!" She said.

"Let's get you laying down." I said lifting her up.

She had treated me like a baby yesterday so now it was my turn to baby her. I carried her to the couch and grabbed her some 7-up.

"If your staying here I get to watch my girly shows." She teased.

"We watched those yesterday." I said.

"We did not! We got stuck watching your crusty shows." She teased.

After putting in one of her sappy girl shows I laid next to her and got comfortable.

"So is everything almost ready for the wedding?" I asked.

"Yeah... Just need your tux and cake, and invitations." She said.

"Okay good.. you know I could spend more days like this just sitting around taking care of you." I said.

"When did player boy get so soft?" She teased.

"Very funny! But seriously..I would love to take the rest of my days off just to be here with you." I said as I kissed her.

"I wouldn't of did that." She said.

"I was already sick yesterday!"

"You should probably press play already." She teased.

"Oh shut up!" I teased throwing a pillow at her.

"Model away." She teased.

"At your service my patient." I teased playing with the rim of my boxers as she laughed.

"Stop!" She said laughing.

"Oh I get it you want modeling without." I teased.

"Your so full of yourself." She said.

"I believe you are so full of me...I get what this is.. You pretend your some sick patient and I cure you." I teased.

"No! Not what I was going for." She said laughing harder.

"Come on!"

"Sit down... Your not getting out of this movie." She said.

"Fine but do I get to cure you?"

"Unless you want me throwning up on you?" She asked.

"I'm good... Never tried that one and don't wanna."

"Good." She said.

"What is this now?" I asked.

"Something borrowed." She replied.

"Sounds.... great." I said as she looked at me.

"Wait to be sacrastic." She said.

"I try."

Half way through the movie she fell alseep and was still running a temp. I snuck to the kitchen and made up some homemade chicken noodle soup. It always cured everything. I was almost done when she woke up.

"That smells great!" She said.

"It's for you!"

"Thanks." She replied getting up but running to the bathroom.

After 10 minutes she was still in the bathroom. I grabbed a bowl of soup and took it to her.

"Here." I said holding out the bowl.

"I can't." She said.

"Trust me.. You will like it and it will help."

"Ryan, It won't help." She said.

"You won't know unless you try." I said.

"Fine... If I throw it up.. your paying for it." She said as she took the bowl from me.

"Your so stubborn I just love it!" I said.

We laid around for the rest of the day and I tried to get her to drink more fluids and soup to help it. She turning in her article and I worked on paperwork for tomorrow's surgeries.

Then we laid around and watched more of her girly shows while she slept. So technically, I watched them. Her temp hadn't went down at all so I made her jump in a cold shower to try to get it down.

It's kinda short but I just needed a filler/ cute chapter. Just wanted to touch base with their relationship and how each are already taking care of each other.

Tell me what you think?
