back into the house. He walked to
the bedroom and then felt Julie’s forehead for a minute. A
smile formed on his lips when Julie stirred in bed a little. He bent
down and planted a kiss on her forehead before he walked out into the
living room and sat down thinking of his grand gesture proposal.
    *****
    When
Julie woke up, her head was still a little heavy. She turned her head
and looked at the clock on her night stand and gasped.
    “ What
the hell?” she gasped as she jumped out of bed. She saw the
living room light on and she half ran, half waked there to find
Steven sleeping on the couch. The TV was still on. She touched his
cheek softly and his eyes fluttered open. “Hey there,”
she said. He smiled and pulled himself up to a sitting position.
    “ Hey
yourself. How are you feeling?” he asked as Julie walked round
the couch to sit down. “You are still a little warm,” he
frowned as he put his hand on her forehead.
    “ My
nose is still a bit stuffy,” Julie said. Steven smiled.
    “ You
bean your dose?” he said. Julie looked at her and playfully hit
his arm.
    “ Stop
making fun of me,” she said. “Why didn’t you wake
me up?” she asked. Steven smiled and shook his head.
    “ That
pill Mary gave you…” he started.
    “ Marge,”
Julie corrected him.
    “ Yeah,
right Marge. Well that pill should be banned,” he said.
    “ I
know. I have been out for ten straight hours,” Julie gasped.
Steven smiled and stood up. “Where are you going?”
    “ I
want to get you the flu kit I prepared for you,” he said as he
walked to the kitchen.
    “ Please.
No more pills,” Julie pleaded.
    “ Just
the night pill. You need as much rest as you can get,” he
ordered as he put some soup into the microwave and set the timer.
    “ Like
I pointed out, I have just woken up from a ten hour nap,” Julie
retorted. Steven smiled and put the bowl on a tray that had a bottle
of water, some orange juice and vapo rub. He carried it to her and
set it on the table in front of her. “What’s all these?”
Julie asked as she blew her nose on a Kleenex.
    “ Chicken
soup, freshly made. Water, juice and the vapo rub my mother swears
by,” he said. Julie looked at him and smiled.
    “ So,
you are going to be rubbing this on me?” Julie asked frowning.
    “ You
act like having my hands on you is a bad thing,” he winked.
Julie smiled and shook her head.
    “ No,
it’s the smell that puts me off,” she said. Steven moved
closer and kissed her lightly.
    “ The
way I do it, you won’t even notice,” he said when he
pulled away.
    “ Baby,
I’m patient zero right now. You need to keep your distance,”
Julie said. Steven shook his head and kissed her again.
    “ It’s
flu season. I already got my shot,” he said. “How come
you are down with the flu anyway? Didn’t we get the shot on the
same day?” he asked as he put a fluffy cushion behind her.
Julie looked at him and frowned.
    “ Actually,
I never got mine,” she admitted. Steven looked at her.
    “ What?”
he asked.
    “ Yeah,
I was in the waiting area and then I got a call from the office. I
just walked out…I planned on going back, but I guess I just
never got round to it,” she said. Steven shook his head.
    “ You
need to take better care of yourself,” he said. Julie nodded.
    “ I
know. I’ve just been so busy lately…” her voice
trailed off. She was not sure what she wanted to say.
    “ So
busy you forgot about your health?” Steven asked. Julie had a
guilty look. “Your health should always come first,” he
added as he picked up the bowl.
    “ Are
you seriously going to feed me?” Julie asked.
    “ Well,
it depends. If I leave you to it, are you going to eat it all on your
own?” he asked. She shrugged and shook her head a little
guiltily. “Well, that settles it then. You are eating this even
if I have to force it down your throat.”
    “ Sometimes
you are so mean,” she said.
    “ Well,
I did slave over it. I think this has to be the best
