Chapter I: No summer's high

"No summer's high,

No warm July"

Eveleen's POV

I was standing in the middle of moving boxes in our new apartment and really needed fresh air. It was July in the city of Detroit, where Gideon and I had moved just couple of days ago.

Gideon had gotten a better job offer from Detroit and without hesitation, we'd moved there. Temperature was rising outside and my head was about to explode because of one very hard headache. My phone rang and taking it from pocket, I decided to open the window. I leaned my aching head to the other window. Air wasn't moving outside. "Eveleen," I answered. "Hello doll face. Have you unpacked everything already?" I heard Gideon's voice. "Not even near," I said and inhaled when another sharp wave of pain billowed over me.

"Honey?" Gideon asked anxiously. I let the air out when the pain abated and mumbled, "Could you pop in at Walgreen Pharmacy at 6331 when you return?" to the phone.

"Are you suffering again from one of those severe headaches you've been having lately?" I could hear concern creeping to Gideon's voice. Closing my eyes I said, "It's because of this damn weather. The air is so heavy and it doesn't move at all. Like before thunderstorm," to Gideon.

"Well, you'd better go lay down to bed or couch so it won't get worse. I'll bring you aspirin when I get back. Drink something cool to ease the pain. I'll give you a good massage in the evening. Try to get some sleep while waiting. I love you hun," he said and I sighed, "Thanks dear, love you too," and then he cut out the call.

Thermometer outside showed 82, 4 F when I looked it when closing the window. "Oh bugger," I cussed and trailed to fridge to get something cool. Pouring apple juice to glass, I took some ice cubes from freezer. I fetched small towel from our bedrooms drawer and dampened it under cold, running water. With the juice and towel, I collapsed to our couch.

Slapping the wet towel on my forehead, I closed my eyes but couldn't sleep. So pounding was the headache. It was getting dark when I finally heard the door open. Gideon must've thought that I'd be sleeping because he came in silently.

"No need to tiptoe hun, I'm awake," I informed to him. He walked to me and gave me the aspirin package. Taking one pill out of the jar, I swallowed it with my warmed juice.

"Did you get any sleep?" Gideon asked gently. "None what so ever," I said shaking my head and winced because the movement hurt pretty much.

"Poor baby," he said compassionate and massaged first my temples and then my shoulders. "Mmmhh, that feels good. Keep going, don't stop please," I murmured and he continued.

"Does this help you?" he asked. "Yes," I sighed and closed my eyes. "Maybe you should go to doctor. He could prescribe you something stronger than aspirin," Gideon said still massaging but this time again my temples.

"I'm fine with that aspirin and you massaging me," I said and turned from my back to my stomach so that I could kiss him. "Thanks babe," I said. "Are you feeling better now? You want anything? More juice?" he asked, "No more juice, only you sitting with me," I smiled to him. He sat down to the floor. "So, I'm gonna ask my adoptionfather Billie and my "uncle" John, Bry's husband, to give me away at the altar," I informed him.

"Who's gonna be your bridesmaid?" Gideon asked. "I don't know," I whispered, tears strangling my throat when I remember Kelly. And only then, Gideon noticed his mistake. "Oh, I'm sorry doll face. I completely forgot," he apologized, soothing my hair. "It's OK. It would've been Kelly but now, I don't know," I assured him.

"Well, how about your cousins, Tamara and Pamela?" he asked. "You want our weddings end up in disaster?" I answered and started to laugh. He shook his head saying," No," and laughed too.

A/N: I don't remember if Gideon was married in the series but no matter if he was or wasn't, in these stories I've written he isn't anymore because of the obvious fact that he is gonna get married with Eveleen.
