Flu Bug From Hell (Jon)
Maria hadn't felt well when she went to bed and this morning she felt a hundred times worse. Last night she was achy, this morning she was achy plus it felt like someone had wrapped a towel around her head. Her nose was stuffed and she could feel the sinus pressure. She shivered when she climbed out of bed and added a fever to the list of complaints. She put on her fuzzy slippers and fuzzy robe to seek out some java heaven.

She trudged her way downstairs for some coffee and was immediately told to go back to bed by Bruce. She didn't of course. The couch in the living room was just as comfortable, if not more, as her bed. Not to mention she had a huge library of movies to watch.

Tea and toast were brought to her along with a down comforter. She curled up on the couch and mindlessly watched daytime talk shows. She slept on and off all day and when the light outside was dimming she remembered that tonight she was supposed to out with Jon. She grabbed her cell and called him. There was no way she was going to be able to move from the couch.

	crossbow_bat 2012-03-01 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"I think I may have seen every version of the bat-scowl," Maria said thoughtfully. "Then again I do give him a lot to scowl about. You should have seen the one I got when he found out about my night job. The /other/ night job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-03-01 07:50 am UTC (link)
	"He has a lot of them. I used to imagine he practiced scowling in the mirror. I'd imagine he was none too pleased - but then you know I was surprised, so I can only imagine he would be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you turned such a lovely shade of red," Maria teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-03-01 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	A shade he kind of turns again, now that its been brought up. "I don't exactly frequent strip clubs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There it is," she said when she noticed him blushing. "No one would ever accuse you of that. I did appreciate your help on that issue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Still the same light, teasing tone. "You could, you just don't want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-03-05 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"This is something I can't control," she insisted. "You just have to stop being adorable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
