“In the bedroom?” I asked.
The bedroom in one of his jets was very comfortable. I slept for several hours in the comfortable bed while we made a trip to Seattle.
He shook his head. “No. I didn’t take that one. I’m having quarterly maintenance performed on it right now.”
“So, you slept in the seat?”
“They’re very comfortable.”
Oliver walked around to his side of the bed and slipped under the covers. He pulled me against him, fingering my red flannel pajamas.
“These are kind of sexy,” he teased.
“You think so?”
Oliver pressed his lips to my forehead. “Anything you wear is sexy because you’re wearing it.”
“You’re in love.”
“Yes, I am. Now go to sleep.”
He embraced me and softly kissed my cheek as I faded off. My dreams were vivid and strange as they sometimes are when I’m sick. The man from the street who stared at me was in them. He wouldn’t stop following me and I felt my heart pound in my chest.
“Ryleigh,” Oliver whispered. My eyes shot open and tried to adjust to the dark room.
“What?” I mumbled.
“You were moaning.”
“You should like that,” I whispered.
“Not that type of moan. You sounded scared.”
“I don’t remember what I was dreaming about.”
I cleared my throat, and the loose mucus caused a round of coughing which hurt. I had trouble catching my breath.
His eyebrows slammed together. “You don’t sound good.”
I groaned. “I just want to sleep.”
Oliver touched my head with the heel of his hand. “You’re burning up.”
I was finding it hard to breathe as I tried to pull in oxygen. It felt like pulling razor blades into my lungs.
“It hurts,” I whined.
“You need to go to the hospital.”
“I can’t.”
“You’re going. I should’ve made Brenda take you.”
Oliver sprang from the bed, grabbing his phone as he ran into the closet. I heard him talking as he dressed. He came out wearing a pair of jeans and a large gray sweatshirt.
“Where are we going?”
“The hospital. Vlad will be downstairs in a few minutes. Let’s get you dressed.”
