“Did you want me to make you some tea?”
My stomach churned at the thought. “Oh God.” I threw up again. “I think I’m just going to stay here for the night.”
“Maybe you ate something bad like you said earlier,” he offered. “I’ll make a call and see if anyone else is sick.” He pushed away from me.
I gave him a wave. I didn’t care anymore. I just wanted my stomach to stop clenching.
I hoped no one else was sick. Everything tasted wonderful. I wasn’t sure what my issue was but when I thought of the delicious meal I had earlier, my stomach erupted again.
A thought came to me. No. There was no way. We hadn’t had sex since the miscarriage. Not until tonight.
“So, no one else is sick.” Vince came into the bathroom and knelt beside me. “Maybe we should take you to the hospital. It could be something else.”
“Maybe.” I let him pull me to my feet. I flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth. Looking at my reflection, I wondered if it was possible. I tried thinking back to sex-ed and all the things I had learned over the years, but I couldn’t figure it out. I didn’t tell Vince my thoughts because I didn’t want him to worry about my sanity.
“Hey.” He cupped my face, staring down at me. “You good?”
“I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m fine. I’m sure it’s just a bug.” I pushed past him and crawled onto the bed.
Vince joined me, pulling me into his arms. “If you’re still not feeling well tomorrow, I’m taking you to the hospital.”
I turned toward him. “I’m fine, Vince.”
He kissed my nose. “You may be fine now, but it could be something…”
When his voice trailed off, I lifted onto my elbow. “What?”
“It could be something worse.” He sat up. “If I don’t take care of you and it’s something bad, I would never forgive myself. And your dad would kick my ass.”
“I promise that I’m fine,” I said, trying to reassure him. It was just a bug. It was the only thing that made sense.
“You better be, Gigi.” Vince laid back down, pulling me into his arms. “I can’t have it any other way.”
I spent the next couple hours staring at the ceiling. Vince’s words kept bouncing around in my head. I didn’t know what he meant by them but if I could take a guess, he clearly wanted more out of this than us just being girlfriend and boyfriend.
“Gigi,” a deep voice murmured in my ear. “Wake up.”
I stirred, not realizing I had fallen asleep. “What’s wrong?” I asked, hearing the panic in Vince’s voice.
His eyes were wide. He looked down, back up at my face and then down again.
“What is it?” I asked, my heart thumping hard.
He met my gaze that time. “You’re bleeding.”
Vince
As Gigi cleaned herselfup, I put the linen in the laundry hamper but while I did that, I couldn’t get the blood stain out of my mind’s eye. I didn’t know what was going on and I didn’t like it. I asked her if I had been too rough, but she reassured me that it wasn’t because I had a thing for her ass. Her words.
She was trying to lighten the mood, but it didn’t make me feel any better.
I was rattled, on the verge of snapping all because I didn’t know what was going on with her health. It wasn’t her period. It wasn’t because I had hurt her. But it was something. We just didn’t know what.
Once I got the laundry in the hamper, I stomped to the bathroom door and gave it a hard knock. “Babe, we have to go.”Or else I’ll break this door down and drag you to the hospital.
“I’m almost done,” she called from the other side of the door.
I took a breath and then another. I understood. I got it. I did. She didn’t want to go to the hospital. Who did? But we needed to find out what was going on with her.
