Not An Option

Fun time

RONA’S POV

Kendra has refused to go to the hospital, so I had to take a week-leave and skip my journey, so I can stay home and take care of her.

“Mommy?”, Kendra called me, ignoring the fact that she’s 23 and I’m 21, as I turn to face her. “You need something baby?”, I looked at her. This lady had just finished eating French fries and was going for the cheese burger too.

Somehow somewhat this sickness turned her into a food monster. It was awfully amazing that a sick Kendra would eat like this. Other times when she had been sick, she’d just request for an Apple juice and that was all for the day.

“I’m still hungry”,she said looking like she wanted to cry.

“Don’t even go emotional on me right now, I’m exhausted Kennie”, I said and stood up to leave.

She held my hand and drew me to her. “Can’t you just be nice to me for once?”, She said angrily. I pushed her and left for my room. She screamed at me as I left.

I don’t even understand her attitude since yesterday, she has been behaving like a little child.

Unnecessarily seeking attention. “I’m sorry”, I raised my head looking at the door to see her standing there. “I don’t know what came over me sincerely”.

I hummed and returned my attention back to trimming my finger nails.

She walked over to the bed and collected the blade and helped me with it. I didn’t thank her, just watched her trim it carefully. She hugged me very tight and started tickling my tummy. Of course she knew my weak point... I couldn’t take it anymore. I laughed out hard pleading with her to stop such torture.

“I love you... you know that right?”, She teased, slowly looking into my eyes.

“Of course I do”, I blushed.

She hit me in the arm. I hit back. She grabbed my pillow and chased me downstairs. I couldn’t remember the last time I ran like that... it was like I passed out for a second or two.

“You’re poor in athletics, I’m disappointed”, she said hitting me with the pillow in the kitchen.

“I thought you were sick”, I said hoping she’d stop which she didn’t.

“Thanks for the reminder b***h”, She hit me one last time and threw the pillow to the floor.

“I’m sooooo sorry “, I jumped on her back planting harsh kisses on her neck, making her scream.

It felt like I was a vampire trying to suck her blood.

We both fell down as she struggled away from me. “Let’s go swimming in the pool”, she suggested.

“It’s been long since I swam, I don’t even know if I still remember how to swim”, I said as I rushed to my feet.

“Race you there”, she said pushing me while running outside.

I managed to get up from the floor and followed her outside to the pool. We forgot to bring our swimsuits so I waited beside the pool, playing with the water.

As soon as she got back, she handed me mine and I took off my clothes and put on the swimsuit.

The way Kendra dived into the pool, if I hadn’t known that she was sick, I would have argued.

I just went in from the shallow end and started to swim back and forth.

Five minutes after swimming, we came out of the pool. Kendra complained she was feeling cold. I quickly covered her with my towel and took her to the back. I sat her down and made a warm chocolate tea for her. She liked it.

When she finished the tea, we went inside the house and lay on the bed after taking off our swimsuits.

She started talking about how thankful she was about me not traveling anymore to spend time taking care of her. She truly appreciated. “Good night honey”, I pecked her on her cheeks as she drifted off to sleep.

It was nice having her around.
