Grow Old With Me – (Chapter: Delirium)
I was awoken at some point during the night by Ashley, who was tapping my shoulder. I opened my sleepy eyes and looked over at her.
“You okay?” I asked. She shook her head. Concerned, I sat up and turned my lamp on. The light clearly bothered her and I threw a t-shirt over the lampshade so it wouldn’t be as bright. “What’s wrong, babe? What hurts?”
“Everything,” she whimpered. “My head, my throat, my neck… my entire body.”
“Do you feel like you’re just getting a bad cold or something?”
“I don’t know.” I felt her forehead; it definitely felt like she had a fever.
“I’m going to go get the thermometer and some Tylenol, okay? But here, drink this water,” I told her, handing her the glass I had brought up earlier. I went to my bathroom, grabbing the necessary items before returning. Two minutes later, the thermometer indicated Ashley had a temperature of 103. She groaned and fell back onto the pillow after taking the Tylenol. I went back to the bathroom and came back with a cold washcloth, draping it over her forehead.
“Thanks,” she said. I smiled and cupped her face.
“I want to kiss you but I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I told her.
“You’re probably right.” I settled back into bed, caressing Ashley’s hair as I got comfortable.
“So I’m pretty sure my dad’s going to say yes,” I began. I waited for a reaction, but got none. She had fallen asleep already.
Tossing and turning woke me up the next time, but it was already 7:30 in the morning.
“How are you feeling?” I asked her. She shook her head again and I could see tears forming at the corner of her eyes. “Worse?” She nodded. “Do you want something stronger?” Another nod. “I’ll be right back.” I went downstairs where I found my dad and Karen sitting at the table, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
“Hey Spencer.”
“Hi guys,” I began as I looked through the medicine cabinet. “What should I give to Ashley? I gave her Tylenol last night but she’s feeling worse this morning.”
“What’s the matter?”
“She has a headache, and her throat and neck hurt. She had a high fever last night, too.”

Oh sweet baby Jesus, PLEASE don’t let my Blackberry crap out on me during my business trip this week! This is some “edge of your seat” type shiznit, Kozmic! Memo to my Blackberry: If I’m faced with limited Internet access, you’ll be faced with the wall. Please post soon Kozmic and I’ll do my best to comment during this week. Regarding the root beer float, if I could get one I’d be golden. I went to A&W the other day to get one and an employee told me, with the utmost attitude, that they were “out of ice cream. Order something else.” I should have asked her for a cup of the Haterade that she must have been sipping…clearly she had just refueled her hating capabilities after a long shift with a nice cold glass of Haterade. Holla, Kozmic!
