TWENTY EIGHT

I woke up with the sunlight almost blinding me, I wasn't feeling good. I don't recall eating anything bad yesterday,  maybe last night's dinner didn't digest well because I definitely wasn't feeling good this morning. I turned around to look for Giovanni  but found his side of the bed empty. I placed my hand on the side he had laid and it felt cold. Checking my phone  clock, I realized it's almost 9:30am. I can't believe I overslept,  I must be really tired.

I sit up, only to feel nausea. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. After five minutes of dry heaving , I got up to brush my teeth, slagging and putting my entire weight on the sink. I felt weak and didn't have the energy to stand so I opted for a bath instead of a shower. I stepped into the gigantic Jacuzzi and laid, resting my back with my eyes closed. I didn't know how long I stayed there but after I felt the water turning cold,  I stepped out and quickly toweled.

I got dressed and fixed the bed before walking out of the room .I made my way to the kitchen since  I was starving. I walked in and Carolyn was  chatting

with a maid. They were sitting and laughing away.,

" Good morning." I say in general to all of them and they responded almost together with their own greetings." How are you, my child?" Carolyn  had a motherly smile on her face when she looked at me.

" I'm good, thank you. "

" I made breakfast for you but wasn't sure when you would wake up so I left it in the oven." She walked over to where she kept my food, taking it out and placing it in front of me on the table.

I took a seat and smiled at her In gratitude then immediately started eating like i haven't eaten in days. " This is really great Carolyn.  " I smiled and continued to eat,  it tasted divine. " I'm glad you love it." I continued to eat stuffing the food in my mouth, I just couldn't help it, I was so hungry.

First,  I felt like throwing up and now I was starving. "Slow down Child, the food isn't running away. You are eating like you didn't have dinner last night. " Carolyn says, while  looking  at me with concern on her face.

As much as I would love to talk to her,  the food was important. So instead I look at her from under my lashes and just grunt, going back to eating." I'm just starving." I say to Carolyn.

" Are you okay ma'am,  you kind of look pale." This time it was the young maid who spoke, she looked concerned. The same expression Carolyn had while staring at me.

I nodded and mumbled. " I haven't been feeling well all morning, that's all.  I probably ate something bad or that didn't go well with my stomach. I'm sure I will be fine before evening." I tried to ease their concern but they looked even more worried.

. " Let's call the family doctor  to check you and see what's wrong. "

I finished up my food but Carolyn  won't allow me to do the dishes even when I tried to convince her that it was okay, she still refused so I thanked her. The maid whispered something into Carolyn's ear and her face lit up,  staring at me.

I was about to ask why she was looking at me like that and what the maid whispered when Giovanni and  Alexander walked inside the Kitchen, both hand in hand  as if they  were looking for someone and sighs when his eyes landed on mine. They walked to me with a smile on their face, aligning their beautiful dimples. Giovanni placed a  kiss at  the top of my head while I leaned down a little for Alexander to kiss my cheek.

" Good morning mommy. " His tiny voice greeted me.

" Morning baby, how was your night?" I asked him,  ruffling his hair.

" It was nice,  I slept very well. " he answered, smiling cheekily.

" I wanted to have breakfast with you but dad said you were still sleeping." his lips cast down.

" Oh baby,  I'm sorry.  We can have lunch and dinner  together today. I will try not to miss out on breakfast again. " I say to him, pinching his cheeks lightly and he smiled, nodding his head.

" why don't you go watch the TV?" Giovanni says to him and he nods, waving goodbye at me before making his way out of the kitchen." How are you feeling?" Giovanni  asked.

" I'm okay, still a little bit nauseous but okay." I reassured him, I didn't want him to be worried.

" Let me call the doctor, just to be sure. " He brings out his phone from his pocket, ready to dial and call their family doctor but I stopped him.

" It's okay, you don't need to trouble anyone because of a minor nauseousness." I tried reasoning  with him.

" It's not a problem, we pay him to take care of anyone in the family, it's his job. " Giovanni counters back, referring to the doctor.

``Let's do this, why don't we wait until tomorrow. If it persists then you can call him. " I bargained. He scanned my face trying to see if I was really okay or not. " please..."

" Fine,  but I'm calling him if you aren't okay by tomorrow." he says sternly leaving no room for argument and I nod in response." You are one stubborn woman, Mrs. Reeves." he says with a smile but I still say a hint of worry in his eyes. I laughed, placing my hand on his chest to pull him closer.

" But you love me away. "

" Fortunately, I do. " Our lips molded together in a kiss, forgetting about the others around us as we explored each other's mouths.
