After Gigi left Alex couldn't sleep. In fact he couldn't sleep for days. He couldn't concentrate at work and he was beginning to feel sick. He was sure it was just the flu. He didn't want to believe that he had fallen for Gigi. He had though.

Four days after Gigi had left in a rage that night Alex was unable to get out of bed. His head pounded and he felt nauseous. All he could think about was he wished Gigi was there to nurse him back to health and he could talk to her, tell her how sorry he was. He was sorry. Though he hadn't fully come to realize his true feelings for her.

He coughed harshly that caused his chest to hurt. He couldn't miss work though, he had to be there for the meeting he had called for. He was the boss, it would be bad if he didn't show. So he dragged himself out of bed and got ready for the day.

The meeting was a disaster and cancelled it early and set everyone back to work. The hostess of course knew there was something else going on. And it was her that made Alex realize that he had fallen for Gigi. That his pounding headache, sore throat and queasiness wasn't just the flu. It was love. He missed Gigi and wanted to see her.

So he decided to stop by the next morning. But the next morning he felt worse, and all those feelings of love were also the flu. So he would just have to find another way when he was well. After two days in bed he decided to stop by her house with a promotional pen.

And that is what he did. By the end of the night he laid in bed next to Gigi. He was utterly and totally in love with her. And he knew she felt similar. She was reserved to admit if, until after he did which was about two weeks into their relationship.

They had been dating about four months when Alex decided to ask her to marry him. They were in his apartment watching a cheesy movie when he turned the volume off and stared at her.

"What's going on Alex?" Gigi asked.

"Nothing, I just want to tell you that I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too."

Alex then pulled out of his pocket a small black box and opened it. "I know it's not much, but Gigi, will her marry me." He asked.

Gigi went into a huge smile and tears "Yes." She whispered.

Alex gratefully smiled and put the ring on her finger. They then sealed the moment with a kiss.
