It was weird walking around the kitchen without Blake. In the last 4 weeks, I had gotten used to him always being up before me and

making me coffee and pouring me cereal before work. Today I had to do all that by myself and it brought me back to reality. The reality

that I wasn’t going to be staying with Blake forever and that getting used to being treated like a queen was going to have to stop.

I placed a cup of coffee on the tray with a bowl of cereal and milk on the side. I grabbed the medicine Blake was taking and a glass of

hot lemon and honey water. Just like the night before, I made my way up to Blake’s room. The door was open again but this time Blake

was laying on the bed.

I walked over and put the tray on his bedside table and gently touched his forehead to check if he was running a fever. He was sweaty

and his forehead was warm but not too bad. He stirred under my touch and he rolled over.

He coughed and stretched, pulling the blanket higher and rubbing his face on the pillow.

“Good morning sleepy head. How are you feeling?” I asked and say on the edge of his side of the bed.

“I feel like shit! My throat is sore and my head is pounding” he curled up in a ball.

“I brought you some more pills and some warm water, it will help with your throat. Have you emailed Patrick that you won’t be in?”

He stretched and sat up on the bed. I grabbed the water and pills and handed them to him.

“No I haven’t, completely forgot, I’ll do it now. My car keys are on the counter, take the car” he took his pills and drank the whole

glass of water. “Can I have some more of this please?”

“Sure you can and I won’t take your car.” I took the glass from his hand and got up.

“Why not? How are you going to get to work?” He asked.

“I can use the bus or get a taxi.” I walked out of his room and went back downstairs.

I quickly made him another glass of honey and lemon and went back to his room.

“Rosy please just take the car, otherwise I’m going to drop you” he narrowed his eyes at me as soon as I walked back in. He started to

move his blankets aside.

“Okay fine. I’ll take the damn car. Now get back under the blanket. There’s some breakfast on the tray. Call me if you need anything

and I’ll get some dinner on the way home.”

“Yes, mum” he replied and laughed.

I had the urge to hit him with something buy instead I flipped him my middle finger and walked out.

I grabbed my bag, jacket and Blake’s car keys. There was an uneasy feeling in me about driving Blake’s car. I wasn’t the best driver
