Sick Day With The Girls
Jane Crocker woke up with the worst scratchy throat, a headache, and the chilly feeling of being absolutely freezing despite the heater being on. The bed was empty except for her, which normally she would not be so happy about. But since she was sick, this was also that was something she could be a bit grateful for. At least her girlfriends wouldn't bother the dickens out of her. Oh, was wrong.
The sick girl pulled herself out of bed, and sniffled due to her terrible runny nose. She stumbled out of the bedroom and down the hall of the shared apartment. Roxy was on the couch, sipping on her morning martini, and Calliope was in the kitchen making breakfast. Roxy was sporting her mid-thigh length black pajama shorts and her white tee shirt with a pink cat face on it, her hair already being carefully styled despite the pajamas. Calliope was in her lime green hoodie with the silvery-blue cadecus on it, and fuzzy dark green pajama bottoms. Her fluffy dyed-white hair was pinned back so it wouldn't get in the way of her cooking. From the look and smell of it, she was making Jane and Roxy's favorites; pancakes with chocolate chips. Ah, she knew her girlfriends so well. Jane herself was in her white tee shirt with a little blue slime monster on it, and a pair of pajama shorts matching Roxy's.
Jane made her way into the kitchen, pretending not to be sick.
"Good morning, love," Calliope greets her, cheerfully.
Jane gives her a small smile, and says with a hoarse throat, "Good morning, Dear."
Roxy looked up at Jane with concern. She wasn't all that hammered yet, so she was able to speak clearly as she asks, "You okay, Janey? Your throat sounds a little sore."
Oh fiddlesticks, her cover's been blown. Hm....maybe she can salvage this a bit.
"I'm perfectly fine, Rox. Fresh as a dai--" she goes to say, before being cut off by a horrible coughing fit.
And let the fussing Olympics begin. Calliope quickly turned off the stove so the food wouldn't burn, and rushed Jane over to the couch. Roxy had downed the rest of her martini, set the glass in the sink, and then went to get the medicine. Calliope sat Jane on the soft brown-colored couch, and swaddled her up in a nest of blankets. Jane tried to protest all the care, but she started to get a terrible migraine that just cut her off with a whimper as she held her head. Roxy returned with the fever medicine as well as some migraine medicine upon Calliope's request. Jane took the medicine, holding her head as she waited for it to kick in. Calliope went to finish up the breakfast and make Jane some tea, while Roxy took it upon herself for cuddle duty. The Lalonde crawled into the blanket nest with the Crocker. Then, she wrapped her mocha-colored legs around the ivory-skinned girl's waist, her arms hugging her around her middle. Jane snuggled up into Roxy's chest, whimpering due to her headache. Calliope soon returned with food and tea. Jane ate and drank the replenishing substances, feeling a bit better afterwards.
Throughout the day, Roxy and Calliope took shifts in cuddling and caring for Jane. The cuddler and Jane would lay in the blanket nest on the couch, and watch Cake Wars or other baking reality TV shows on Netflix, often with Jane drinking tea while the cuddler pet and messed with her hair or traced patterns on her slightly pudgy stomach through her shirt. By the end of the day, Jane was doing much better, but still in dire need of cuddles. Roxy and Calliope were more than happy to oblige their girlfriend. So now, they are all lying down on their large bed, underneath a big, fluffy blanket. Jane, being the smallest out of the three, was lightly sandwiched between Roxy and Calliope. Roxy had her arms wrapped around Jane's midsection and her legs around her waist. Calliope, being the largest and slenderest out of the three, had her spindly and soft-skinned arms wrapped around Jane and Roxy, and her long, dark-skinned legs tangled with Jane's shorter ones. Roxy pecked Jane's lips, not caring if she got sick. Calliope lightly turned Jane's head so she could do the same, and then she pecked Roxy's lips too. Jane smiled when she received the kisses from her beloved girlfriends. Finally, they settled for a nap with Roxy's lips pressed to Jane's forehead, and Calliope's face buried in Jane's fluffy hair.
