20.) After Care

1234 Words
When I woke up in the morning, I turned to my side to bring Ivy into my side. She wasn't there. I frown and sit up, rubbing my eyes. I walk to the bathroom and she wasn't there either. I panic at this. I run to the door and jerk it open to go find her. When I open it, I bump into Ivy. I quickly grab her as I see her lose her footing. "What are you doing out of the room?" I ask her and she smiles at me, stepping into the room. "I feel much better today. I walked down to the diner next door and got up lunch. It's not much but I wanted to do something as a thank you." I close the door behind me and rub my eyes taking in her appearance. She was dressed and wearing makeup. Her hair was up in a cute messy bun and she had on jeans and a large t-shirt. She turns and sets the food down and I walk over and pull her into a big hug.  I kiss the top of her head and I pull back, grabbing her face in my hands. "I'm glad your feeling better. Truly." I say and she smirks and leans close to my face. "You have morning breath." She says and I roll my eyes shoving her playfully. "Way to kill the move. To the bathroom, I go." I say and she laughs behind me. I get semi-ready in the bathroom and when I come out, Ivy is in the bed, the tv is on, and our food was set out. She looks up from her phone as smiles at me. I walk over and pull back the covers as I crawl in and I notice the fact that she was just in her shirt and underwear now. I crawl into bed and eat. She had gotten me a burger and fries, with her having the same. It was 1 in the afternoon and I didn't realize how long I had slept. "So you're actually feeling better?" I ask and she nods, chewing her food quickly to respond. "Yes, I woke up around 7 this morning. I showered, cleaned, texted some people back. I'm a bit fatigued still but I don't hurt and I don't have the shakes. That's a plus in my book." She says and I nod. "Good, I was worried about you." I say and glance at the tv as I take a sip of my drink. "Speaking of which, thank you. I feel nobody else would have been able to handle me and take care of me the way you did and I- I just really appreciate it." She says and I grab her hand. I bring it to my lips and kiss it while giving it a squeeze. "It was my pleasure Ivy. I'll always take care of you. Now, what do you want to do today?" "Honestly just stay in bed with you. I don't want to go out or anything. I just want to spend time with you." This made my heart melt. We were getting closer I could sense it. "I'm okay with that. Have you talked to your father or brother?" I ask and she nods. "Yes, thank you for telling them I have the stomach flu. You saved me from a world of embarrassment."  "Of course. Also, this burger is REALLY good. What was the name of that diner again?" I ask with a raised brow to change the subject. I didn't want her beating herself up over this. I wanted her to leave it in the past. "It's Dash's Kitchen, he is the old man that used to be a firefighter. When he retired he open up his own restaurant. It's super good right?" Her tone was grateful at my subject change and she was enthusiastic about it. We ate and watched tv as she curled up next to me. I could feel her bare thighs against my hand and I could tell that she had shaven. Her skin felt smooth like silk. I watched her more than the show we had on. She was just so... beautiful. She looks up from the tv show and looks at me and furrows her brows. "What?" she asks and I shake my head, scanning over her face. "Nothing, I'm just glad you're feeling better is all." She rolls her eyes and pokes my forward. She pulls away, sitting on her knees on the bed and looks at me. I furrow my eyebrows at this and wait for her to say something. She just stares without a word. "What?" I ask and she rolls her eyes. "Now you know how it feels." She says, scrunching her nose. I roll my eyes and sit up. She looks down at me and smirks and I look down to see what she was looking at. I didn't have a hard-on, so I didn't know what It could have been.  "Wyatt... are you ticklish?" She asks in a mischievous tone and I shake my head. "No, but I know you are." I lunge forward and grab her sides, pinning her side me. I sit on top of her and tickle at her sides as she dies of laughter. I loved to hear her laugh. I lift her shirt a bit and crawl between her legs, giving her a raspberry on her stomach. She holds her gut laughing loudly and I grab her hands pinning her down. I pull her shirt back down to cover her panties and crawl back up her body. "I have you trapped." I say and she wiggles and tries to free herself. "Wyatt, you're going to make me pee myself from laughing so hard." She says and I roll my eyes, getting off of me. "Drama queen." I say and she crawls out of bed, running to the bathroom.  I lay there in bed with a hand behind my head and she comes out of the bathroom a few minutes later walking to the bed. I admire her as she walks to the bed and I imagine what was underneath that shirt. She sits beside me and begins to scroll through her phone. I watched her feed with her and we sit like this for a few hours. It was nice. It was simple. We didn't really talk, we were comfortable with the silence. Ivy kept making small gestures where she'd put her leg over me, she would play with the hem of my shirt. They could be seen as innocent but I wanted them not to be. While I am zoning out Ivy pokes my side and grabs my attention. She hands me her phone and I watch the movie. A notification flashes over the top of her phone and I am drawn to it. It was a message from Ronald. Without a second thought, I click on it and I regret it as I open it. I was angry now. I was jealous. I was so many things. Ivy noticed my shift in mood and grabs my arm, looking at me with concern. "Is everything alright?" She asks and I sit up, pushing her off of me. She looks at me in confusion and I look down at her phone. Her eyes widen for a moment and then I believe it finally clicks.
