Concern washes over her face as she jumps up to help me sit up.

“Take some deep breaths with me, Sienna. It’s just a panic attack. You’re okay, I promise. Everything’s okay. Just breathe. Focus on the breath going in and out.”

Squeezing my eyes tightly shut, I breathe in for four and out for four with Maddie. After a couple of minutes, my body relaxes slightly. Passing me a glass of cold water, I take it from her with shaky hands, letting the cool liquid trickle down my throat.

“I think I should go get you some tests. Whatever the outcome, we’ve got this, okay? But you need to know one way or another. If you're not, then I’m calling a doctor. If it’s a bug, you’ve had it far too long now.”

She’s right, I’m an adult. I can pee on a stick, easy.

“Okay.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay if I pop out for 10 minutes? I’ll just run to the shop and come straight back. If you need me, just call me.”

I nod in response and flop back down on the sofa, Enzo had to go and sort out some personal emergency, but Nico was on his way up to take over.I’m sure it will be fine.

Maddie tucks me into the fluffy comforter and hands me the TV remote after flicking it onto the news.

“Hey look, it’s a special program on Keller’s fight. You can drool over your man while I’m out.”

I let out a laugh. It hurts to do it but I can’t help it.

“Why do I need to drool over him on the screen when I have him in bed every night?” I wink at her.

“At least this bug hasn’t killed your dirty sense of humor, Si.”

With that, she grabs her coat and bag and heads out. The elevator pings as I settle in and watch my man on the screen.

Keller, the big softie, has been pandering around me like a mom for the last few days. I can tell he’s worried about me. I doubt he’s ever really had to care for someone else other than himself up to now.

I had to physically rip myself away from him this morning so he could make his flight to Vegas in time. I’m absolutely gutted that I have to miss his big fight. I promised I would make sure I was awake to watch it and cheer him on from here. He knows he has my heart no matter where we are.

Since he left two hours ago, I have already had ten texts and a phone call. I love that he is so obsessed with me, I can’t lie. It feels good to be wanted. To be loved wholly and completely for exactly who you are.

I quickly type out a reply to Keller’s latest message, asking how I am.

ME

I’m just watching your fight promo, cuddled up on the sofa. You are looking FINE in these videos, Champ.

SEX GOD KELLER

Fine is my middle name, Baby.

Shit, what is his middle name?

Another text pops up straight away.

SEX GOD KELLER

I don’t have a middle name, in case you were wondering.

ME

Phew, I was panicking, thinking I didn’t know you at all.

SEX GOD KELLER

You are the only one who knows me, really knows me.
