In the morning Jason stirred when he felt silk against his back. Diana's tank top. He moved a little closer to her to pull her into his arms gently. His fingers ran through her hair and it looked cute rumpled on one of his pillows. Then he inhaled and felt congestion in his nose. He lifted his head a little and it felt heavy. Of all times to come down with a cold. He reached for some tissues on his nightstand and then sneezed quietly.
" Shit." He mumbled softly.
Diana said sleepily " Bless you darlin." Then she opened her eyes and looked at him. " Are you feeling all right Jason?"
" I think I'm catching a cold or I caught it." He sighed.
" Something told me you weren't a hundred percent last night when I got here but I'm glad that I can help make it better."
" All right but it's been a while since anyone's taken care of me."
" Probably because you never ask handsome." Her fingers moved over his chest gently. She found her robe at the foot of the bed and pulled it on over his shirt. " Why don't I make you some tea and then something comforting for breakfast?" " What are your feelings on Huevos rancheros this morning."
" That sounds wonderful as long as there's an extra jalapeño in mine."
" All right darlin, coming right up. If you want to come out to the couch I think that will be okay while I'm cooking."
He nodded. " Just let me get another t shirt and I'll be right out."
" Okay I'll have your tea ready when you're more fully awake. Do you have cold medicine around here?"
" In the bathroom cabinet above the sink. That stuff makes me feel fuzzy headed though."
" I know but it's not like you're in trial on a Saturday morning. You can have a lazy day. I'll get you a nice blanket and pillow and make you a bed on the couch."
" Thank you I know this isn't how you wanted to spend the weekend with me."
" Honey, I like just being here no matter what else happens. It's goos enough seeing you uninterrupted."
His face softened. " Thank you that's sweet." He pulled on a long sleeved casual sort of t shirt with his pajama pants in dark blue and stood up slowly .
" Well lets get you something to start kickin that cold in the behind shall we? I know just the thing. Old family remedy."
" All right , my family didn't have those."
