Ch29 - The Trouble With Headaches
He growled softly, before lifting me up; and I giggled, as he threw me onto the bed. I managed to take a quick breath, before he lunged at me; placing his lips firmly on mine, as we picked up where we left off downstairs...
After what I can only describe as earth shattering sex, Killian and I fell asleep; wrapped up in each others arms. As I drifted off to sleep, I could feel a dull ache in my skull.
I knew instantly, that it was the start of a really bad headache; I tried to ignore it, as I was exhausted.
However when I woke up this morning, unfortunately that dull ache from last night was now a stabbing sensation; almost like knives being driven into my skull. I groaned softly, not wanting to wake Killian; so I buried my head further into my pillow.
My thoughts then drifted to last night, and that's when I lifted my head slightly; my gaze then focused on Killian, god he's handsome, a grin formed on my face and I knew that I was a very lucky woman.
My grin faltered slightly, it then turned into a grimace; I buried my head into my pillow again, blocking out the light of the bedroom. This was definitely one of my more killer headaches, I used to get them all the time when I was younger; I also got them a lot when chaos broke out in town.
Unfortunately this type of headache usually makes me slightly irritable, I sat up; trying my best not to jolt the mattress, without trying to wake Killian. I held my breath as I watched him shift slightly, I sighed internally when he didn't wake up.
I didn't want to bother him with this, so I decided to do what I always did and take some aspirin; it normally dulls the ache, at least for a couple of hours.
I then made my way to the bathroom, I winced slightly because the bathroom was illuminated by the light filtering in from the window; I made my way over to the medicine cabinet, and glanced in the mirror.
I grimaced again when I took in my reflection as I looked paler than I normally did; I then reached up and opened the medicine cabinet, I found the aspirin.
I grabbed a glass from the side of the sink, and filled it with water, I sat down on the edge of the tub; swallowing the aspirin, along with the water.
I stood up, making my way back into the bedroom, I got back into bed as quietly as I could; I lay down, closing my eyes. I just about settled, when I heard Killian move; apparently I wasn't as quiet as I thought, I quickly decided to feign sleep.
I heard him shift slightly before he spoke.
"I know you're awake Swan"
I tried not to smile and give myself away; so I kept my eyes closed as I muttered a slight protest in response.
"Nope, I'm still sleeping"
He laughed slightly louder than usual for this time of the day; and in turn my headache pulsed; as his laugh reverberated through the room.
Seriously?!
Why did he have to be so loud?
I groaned a bit louder this time, and I could feel the irritation seeping through my body as I buried my head back into my pillow to block out the sound of his laughter.
I lifted my head slightly, so I could meet his gaze; I looked at him in mild irritation, before speaking. Unfortunately for him, the irritation in my tone was obvious as I did.
"Christ Killian, can you keep it down?"
I heard his breath hitch, and that's when my stomach dropped; and I immediately felt guilty. Why couldn't I stop myself from snapping at him?
I mean, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen; I didn't mean to snap at him, I glanced at him briefly and I noticed the hurt expression on his face.
Way to go Emma! Now you've done it!
I couldn't look at him, so I rolled over onto my back; squeezing my eyes shut, silently hoping that the aspirin would kick in soon. I then felt the bed shift, as Killian moved to lie on his side; so that he was now facing me.
I turned my head slightly, and that's when I noticed that Killian was looking at me; the concern evident on his face. I tried to smile reassuringly only to wince once more.
The bed shifted again, as moved to lean over me; he then placed his hand on my cheek, he smiled softly before he spoke.
"Emma, love are you alright?"
I closed my eyes briefly, before speaking; trying my best to not sound irritated as I did so.
"No, I feel like my head is going to explode, and your laugh certainly didn't help either!"
I tore my gaze away from his, I was ashamed because I don't usually snap at him; and yet I've done it twice, I pulled the sheet over my head.
I heard his breath hitch again, before he spoke; with sadness in his tone.
"Swan, I..."
I felt tears build up in my eyes, after a few moments I lifted the sheet, and my gaze drift to his briefly; I spoke again, in an apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry Killian, I didn't mean to snap at you; it's just my head really hurts, but I also know that's it's no excuse for how I just spoke to you. I mean it's not your fault I've got a headache, so I shouldn't be taking it out on you"
He smiled softly at me, and this time I was able to return it; he then spoke, only this time I could hear the love and warmth in his voice.
"My love, I'm sorry; and I know you didn't mean it, what can I do to fix it?"
I smiled softly, before speaking again; this time keeping my tone light.
"Unfortunately there's nothing either of us can do, but I've just taken some aspirin; but it takes a while to kick in,
He smiled at me again, before reaching for me; I turned over, leaning my back against his chest, his hand drifted across my abdomen and I laced my hand through his.
He spoke softly.
"Why don't you try and sleep some more love? You know I, actually might drift off again myself"
I smiled softly, before turning slightly; placing my lips on his in a soft, yet loving kiss. After a few moments, I turned around again; closing my eyes and drifting back to sleep, feeling safe and warm in the arms of my pirate.
