Chapter 5

The sun shone through some places in the window where some of the blinds wasn't closed properly when Alex awoke to another one of Ryan's coughing fits as he was rummaging through the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. "What are you looking for?" she asked as she turned on the shower and then turned to look at him to answer. "I'm trying to self-medicate he croaked. I feel like someone who's been in a fight with King Kong" he answered when he found a bottle of Advil and tried to take two when Alex snatched the bottle from his hands.

"Have you eaten yet?" she asked and before he could answer she started again. "Seems like you didn't so no you're not going to take this." And she took it away and placed it back in the cabinet and went into the room and grabbed her cellphone. "Alex what are you doing? Who are you calling?" he asked as he walked back to the bedroom to try and figure out the one ended conversation. However the only bit he caught was "3PM is fine. He'll be there" and then she dropped the call and turned to him.

"You have a doctor's appointment at 3PM with Dr Leary. Yes you're going because I'll call and ask if you were there or I'll come along with you. Your choice" she smirked at him, knowing how much he'd hate it if she went with him, let alone if anyone at work would find out. He'd never hear the end of it. "All right, I promise I'll go you don't have to come with me and hold my hand" he answered. "Go take your shower when you get out we'll go downstairs for breakfast so you can have some peace of mind when you see that I've eaten something." She smiled and kissed him quickly before heading towards the bathroom while Ryan was in bed again watching some cartoon movie.
