The Assassin's Kryptonite

Sheets

“W-What are you doing?”

I was panting like I ran a 10-mile marathon and I failed to rest for even just a minute. I was breathless and if he wasn’t sending delicious tingles all over my body, I might have cried because of the thought that I might die because of lack of oxygen.

“Trevor?” I whispered as I felt him sucking my breast like a hungry baby. What the f**k?

“Hmm?”

“What are we doing?” I worked hard to form a concrete question with my eyes closed and my brain all over the place. It’s like I’m in a time loop which continuously makes me think twice about what I’m doing because it’s both delicious to the groin and painful to the mind.

“Kissing?”

“Yeah,” I exclaimed as I heard myself moan again. but then I felt another pain. And it’s coming from my groin. “Aww….” I can’t help but crutch my stomach as I felt the searing pain. And the continuous blood flow.

“Camille? What is it?” Trevor asked, worried now.

Well, he should. Because with the pain I’m feeling now, I might want to punch him sooner or later. Or not…. because I’m feeling extra weak today.

“Camille? Answer me please,” he cupped my face as he made me look at him.

“Can you get me a new shirt?” I asked instead. He immediately stood and made me lie down on the bed. He went to the boxes and got me a new shirt.

“Here,” he exclaimed as he helped me sit and put on the shirt. It was awkward because he’s literally face to face with my boobs but when I looked at him, he was just looking at my eyes and he’s very worried.

“I’m okay,” I exclaimed trying to calm him down.

“No, you’re not,” he answered.

“Huh? I really am,” I insisted, chuckling because he looked like a mom right now. He’s worried as f**k!

“You’ve been complaining and wincing for several times now. What is it, Camille Louella?”

“I am really okay Trevor Helios. Calm the f**k down,” I insisted.

“Just tell me how you feel? You’re scaring me,” he exclaimed as he felt my forehead. My heart did a somersault at the sight of his worried eyes. He’s really that worried about me? Well, that felt good.

“This is normal Trevor. I’m menstruating. Of course, my whole-body hurts,” I tried explaining. I kind of dumb down the pain a little because I don’t want him to worry anymore. My whole body felt like it was bruised and punched, but I won’t tell him that.

“I have medicine here,” he exclaimed, taking something from the pocket of his cotton shorts.

“Medicine?” I laughed at the thought. “I’m sure you don’t have what I need on this island,” I exclaimed, massaging the area just below my stomach. It’s true that I feel this pain every time of the month but today is just…… different. This feels extreme.

“I have Tylenol here,” he exclaims, showing me a white plastic container with big bold letters written on it – ‘Tylenol.’

“Oh my god, thank you heavens,” I exclaimed as I sat up once more. “Where did you get this?” I asked to take one capsule from the container. But instead of answering me, he went to the table and got me a bowl of water.

“Thank you,” I exclaimed after taking the medicine.

“What else do you need?” he asked as he sat on the bed beside me. He was wiping the sweat on my forehead as I lay in the bed, feeling very weak.

“I feel sticky,” I answered honestly.

“Why?” he asked curiously.

“I don’t have tampons and I feel every ounce of blood dripping out of me,” I can’t help but to whine because it’s what I really feel.

“But it’s okay, I can live with it, I guess,” I exclaimed when I saw him conflicted. He might be thinking about getting tampons for me but we both know that that’s not possible. He was just brushing my hair and I don’t know how and when, but I slept peacefully that night. Or maybe morning.

I woke up without him beside me. I immediately stood up and I wasn’t shocked anymore when I saw blood stains on the bed sheets.

“s**t! That’s so gross!” I exclaimed about getting a towel and new boxer shorts from one of the boxes. I immediately went to the bathroom to wash up and change.

I assessed myself and I was certain that I was already okay. I mean the fever is already gone and I don’t feel that weak anymore. But the pain on my groin, my legs and on my waist is still there. But what did I expect? Of course, I’m still menstruating!

After washing up, I went back to the bedroom to take off the sheets so I could wash them immediately. I went out of the bedroom carrying the sheets in my hand.

“Where are you going?” I saw Trevor taking out meat from the jars on the shed near the mansion.

“I’ll wash this,” I explained as I continued walking.

“I’ll do that,” I stopped when he blocked my way.

“It’s okay, I'll do it. I can do it.”

“But you’re sick,” he insisted.

“No, I’m totally fine now,” I explained.

“Are you sure?” he asked as he walked towards me and felt my forehead.

“See?” I exclaim because I know that I'm not feverish anymore.

“I’ll do it. Aren’t you tired?” he insisted again.

“But it’s my blood Trevor Helios,” I tried to explain to him. I mean it’s gross and it’s embarrassing.

“So?” he asked, raising his brow. What the freak?

“Aren’t you grossed out?” I exclaimed.

“Why would I be grossed out?” he asked, confused.

“Uh….” Well, I don’t know what to say! “Men don’t like touching…. this thing,” I tried explaining.

“Why? It’s just blood. And it’s yours.”

Ugh! How do I do this?!

“Fine! But I’ll watch,” I finally agreed.

“Okay,” I can’t help but smile as I saw him smile taking the sheets from my hand.

“Are you sure you’re already, okay?” he asked again as we walked towards the falls.

“Yes Trevor Helios. How many times do you have to ask me that?” I teased him.

“I’m just making sure. You made me worry so much,” he exclaimed which made me arched my brow.

“Excuse me but you’re the one who I had to chase down the dark forest!” I can’t help but raise my voice.

“Yeah,” he chuckled. “Sorry about that.”
