Cheyenne did come down with something. She woke up with a horrible fever and a headache from hell. Her throat felt raw and her chest ached.
Jon was up already, felt her burning skin, a worried look on his face
Cheyenne tried to speak but a horrible hoarse sound out.
“Baby you are burning up. Let me call a doctor.”
Violet came in and saw Cheyenne flushed face and glassy expression.
“Oh, honey. You look horrible. I’ll get the doctor.”
“No..please. It’s just a cold.”
Jon gave her a grim look.
“Stop arguing Cheyenne. You look like shit.”
“I’ll go to the doctor myself. Let me just take you the airport first. I need so see you and Stacey off.”
He looked at her suspiciously.
“I promise I’ll go..”
He flicked his phone open, making the appointment himself.
Violet brought her some aspirins to ease the pounding in her head.
Jon saw Richie walk past and called out to him.
Richie came in, his expression horrified when he saw Cheyenne’s face.
“Rich, I need you to go with Cheyenne to the doctor. She is being a major pain in the ass, insisting on going to the airport with us. I don’t want her to drive.”
“Of cause, bro!”
Stacey looked a bit worried, Cheyenne seemed to have a horrible fever.
She smiled at the them, all staring at her like she was going to die any minute.
Her voice came out groggy.
“Hey, it’s a damn cold, Take that stupid looks off your faces. I’ll go to the doctor…”
Richie and Stacey said simultaneously.
“You better!”
They laughed at each other, walked out as Cheyenne scooted them out of the room.
She got up and Jon followed her every move. She was covered in love bites and bruise marks. She stood in front of the mirror assessing the damage to her battered body. She turned and saw light bruised fingermarks on her butt, catching Jon’s astonished look in the mirror. He walked closer looking a bit embarrassed as he realised how rough he actually was the night before.
“I probably made this worse. Taking you out to the patio last night, the doctor is probably going to lose his respect for me after he examined you, maybe even call the police to arrest my ass”
She wrapped her arms around him, looking up into his electric blue eyes.
“That was worth it, the memory is gonna keep me company till you come back. I loved every minute of it, although you really made me suffer and my butt still hurts. And everytime I look at these marks, I’ll remember who put it there and how..”
A sudden cough racked through her body.
“Fuck! I cannot leave you like this!”
“I’m gonna be *cough* ok…Violet is here and Richie..”
He held her in is arms, just wanting to keep her there for as long as possible.
