It was a curious sight for Tori to walk into the house and see Jade tucked under the comforter on their bed, since Jade would usually be typing away at her computer at all hours of the day. Happy that her girlfriend was finally listening to her for once about taking a break, she reached out to touch her face gently, trying not to disturb her.
The heat she felt made her jump in shock.
Tori shook Jade hard, trying to wake her. "Jade? Are you unwell?"
Jade coughed several times before opening an eye. "Vega? I'm running a slight fever. I can't find the aspirin in the house, so I just thought I would lie down for awhile to wait for you to get home."
Tori scrambled around in her monster bag, trying to find her phone. "I'm calling 911 for an ambulance to take you to the emergency room, Jade. I'll get the cardiologist, the ENT specialist, the neurologist…"
Jade clasped her girlfriend's hand, trying to keep from laughing, "Relax, Vega. I'm not dying. It's probably just a minor flu. Just drive me to our usual doctor."
