Sick Day
Helena's bedroom 6:23am
Helena woke up feeling like death. She had spent the night coughing Alex had to inform her staff that she was sick and not to be disturbed. The only ones who were allowed into her room were Alex and Maria. Alex had made up the bed and was keeping a cold hand on her forehead. Helena turned to her boyfriend.
"Alex I don't want you to get sick." She had a coughing fit. Alex smiled.
"Helena I can't get sick remember?" She sighed.
"You could at least humor me love." Alex shook his head. He gave her a glass of cold water.
"Don't worry Helena I've asked Maria to get something that I know will help you feel better." As if on cue Maria entered the room with vile filled with a sapphire blue liquid. She handed it to Alex. "Thank you Maria." He then opened the vile and turned to Helena. "Okay Helena drink this." Helena did as she was told and drank the liquid. It tasted like a fruit drink. She laid back on her pillow and felt very tired. She yawned and closed her eyes. Alex kissed her forehead.
"Maria could I ask a favor of you?"
"Of course sir."
"Could you take raptor on his walk? I need to make sure Helena isn't bugged." Maria nodded and left the room. Alex picked up his journal and began to write.
12:32 pm.
Helena woke up feeling much better. She looked around her room to see that Alex was nowhere in sight. She got up and stretched. She looked at the clock on her nightstand. She realised she was pretty hungry. She went downstairs and headed to the dining room. When she got there she saw Alex and Maria with plates about to leave the room. "Oh Lady Helena we thought you could use something to eat so we made your favorites."
Helena smiled warmly. "Thank you both. Why don't we just eat in the dining room?" They went into the room and ate. "So Alex what was it that you gave me?"
"Oh it's a blend of alien fruits that can help humans recover from all sorts of nasty things. It can cure a things from colds to poisons. It doesn't work for all species. For example if an Insectoid drinks it. The mix acts as an aphrodisiac which makes them go nuts. Although it does help them with high stress levels."
I blush. I whisper into his ear. "After lunch can we get a little private time?" He nods. Good I need a workout.
