Cream and Sugar novel

---- 30. The Part Where I'm Sick Like Cammie had predicted , her boss came in early to find us cold and snuggling inside the big fridge. Instead of being enraged with the sight, her boss let Cameron take the day off. In fact, he was so nice, he let us pack a box doughnuts and bottled water to eat on the ride home. The two of us were stiff and exhausted and we took one cab home. Cammie asked if she could crash with me and of course I said yes.

My back ached so much, as was my buttocks, from the whole night sitting. As soon as we were close to my apartment, I started a sneezing fit. My body adjust from the temperature of the fridge to the heat of the day. We asked the cab driver to turn off the air conditioning inside and he complied. Cameron was amidst eating a doughnut when she asked me if I was okay. I said I was, although I felt so dizzy.

I drank a bottle of water and closed my eyes for a few seconds, the headache came next after the tingling sore throat. When I opened my eyes, Cameron was shaking mea bit and my dizziness tripled than before. "Gail, we're here. Are you alright?" It seems Cammie has adjusted finely from the shift of temperature, although she ---- still looked tired, and her body must be aching too. I gave her a slow nod but she still looked concerned.

I managed to get out the cab and walk up to my apartment, although my head was aching, my throat was sore, not to mention the dizziness I felt, plus the bonus snot forming in my nose. As soon as we step foot inside the apartment, I sneezed again. I managed to cover it with my jacket. " Gail, is that you?" Tiff called from the kitchen. It was early and Peter and Tiff were on their way to work. Cameron helped me get to the kitchen as she knew I must've felt a little sick.

"Hey..." I say all glum and tired towards Peter and Tiff who smiled like fools. "Oh hey, Cammie," Peter says, "do you guys want coffee?" Cameron shakes her head and looks at me with concern again, "No, thanks. We're really tired from being stuck in a fridge all night." The two asked 'what' in chorus and I waved them off. "Long story." The group is then startled as I sneeze yet again. "I think you might be sick."" Cammie says as she lets her body support mine by sticking it close.

"T-I'm fine." I say, grabbing a tissue from the counter. Without invitation , Cameron's hand goes up to my ---- forehead , she feels my temperate for only a second and says, "Well, you're definitely hotter than normal. " I manage a grin, "I'd normally joke about that but I can't think of anything." The two starts fixing food and medicine for me, " We'll fix her something , how about you help her lie down her bed, Cammie?" Cameron nods and she slowly aids me to my room.

I point where to go and she goes to it. I manage to climb on to bed. The brunette helps me out of my shoes, " Where can I get comfortable clothes for you?" "Anywhere, really." I say simply then she goes off to examine my drawers. After a few seconds she returns with fresh clothes . She raises the shirt out for display, "Hard Rock Café? Really?" She says with a chuckle. I only grin at her as I felt immeasurably tired.

Tiff comes in seconds later to say goodbye, "Hey, Cammie, we settled everything you guys need. We gotta run off to work." Cammie nods to Tiff. "Get plenty of rest, Gail, you too Cammie. Bye!" Cammie and I both call out a goodbye to the two lovebirds . When Cameron hears the door close she turns to me for business, "All right, Gail Brennan, you are in very good hands. I have a strict checklist I
