I was woken up from my sleep by a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I ignored it hoping to go back to sleep but it happened again but this time more painful. We all know what that meant. My periods were here. At the wrong fucking time. It was Thursday afternoon and I decided on a nap before I had to get up later to get ready for my date with Gabriel. But it looks like it wasn't going to happen tonight. I dragged myself out of bed and entered the bathroom for a shower.

It had been a few weeks after we went partying with the gang and we had a lot of free time on our hands due to the exams being postponed so we did a lot of date nights. I loved the little things we did together as well as the big ones. Tonight we were to go watch a movie then have dinner. Cliché I know but we had having a lot of sexy time so we decided to dial it down with a night out in town. I felt so bad I wasn't going to make it tonight. I was really looking forward to making out with Gabriel in a movie theatre. I said dial it down not stop completely.

After I was done freshening up I swallowed two sleeping pills and grabbed my phone to call Gabriel and cancel our plans. You wonder why I didn't take pain meds, well they never really helped so I preferred sleeping through the pain.

"Hey babe what's up?" He said when he picked up.

I smiled at the sound of his voice. I could hear the guys making noise in the background. They were hanging out at Paul's place for once. I had asked them to because anytime they came to Gabriel's place I was forced to hang out with them and this time I wanted some me time.

"I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to cancel on our plans tonight." I apologized as I coiled into myself when my uterus decided to coil itself painfully might I add.

"What's wrong?" He asked already picking up on how strange my voice sounded.

Didn't I just have the sweetest most caring boyfriend out there? I must have done something good in my previous life.

"Lady Cramps decided to pay me a visit today." I replied breathing out slowly when the pain subsided for a second.

"Am so sorry about that. Do you need anything?" He asked.

"No."I said shaking my head as if he could see it. "I'll be okay. Just keep hanging with the guys and ill see you later or tomorrow or after a week. Bye." I replied and hang up immediately when I was hit with another wave of pain.

I felt bad hanging up on him but am sure he would understand. I took deep breaths and I could feel myself getting drowsy which meant the meds were kicking in. I grabbed a pillow and put it between my legs and propped myself up with a few more and tried to lay still. I read somewhere that if you lay still for fifteen minutes you'll fall asleep. Let's see if that combined with the medication will work.

I woke up some time later feeling groggy and having no idea what time of day it was. I felt someone touch my lower back and massage the painful knots making me moan. Now I know what woke me up. I know you're asking yourselves why am not screaming bloody murder at someone touching my body. Answer is I already know who it was considering he's the only one with the keys to my place and the only person whose touch can affect me.

"When did you get here?" I asked opening one of my eyes to look up at Gabriel who I was half lying on.

"An hour after you called me. I had to gather supplies first."He replied as he continued to massage my back.

He was really good at that but I guess he had to be considering he had to take care of game injuries.

"Thanks for coming but you didn't have to, I was doing okay. How long have you been here?" I asked as I leaned up and kissed his chin.

"I wanted to come and make sure you were okay. You sounded like you were in a lot of pain. And you've been asleep for a few hours. It's almost nine pm." He replied.

"That's a long time to be alone." I commented grabbing his soothing hand and placing it where it hurt and he massaged it for me.

"It's okay. When I got here I found you asleep and I kinda joined you. I woke up just a few minutes before you did when I heard you moan in pain. Are your period cramps always this painful? " He asked sounding very concerned.

"You have no idea. But I usually just sleep through them." I explained and he nodded.

"I can understand that. Am sorry about the pain." He apologized and I smiled at that.

He was saying sorry yet he wasn't the cause of my pain. Could he get anymore adorable than that.

"Thanks. Am sorry too for canceling date night."

"Don't be. It's not your fault." He said kissing my forehead.

"So what did you mean by supplies?" I asked as I sat up and turned around before sitting up.

My room would have been in total darkness except for the light from the TV which was on mute.

"I got you ice cream, chocolates, sweets, soda. Basically I got everything from the list Ava sent me of the things girls like when they are menstruating." He said.

"Menstruating. Eewwh. What a word?" I asked making a face that made Gabriel chuckle.

"I am a doctor so I use words like those." He replied.

"Sometimes I forget you're going to be a certified doctor soon." I told him.

"Why?" He asked turning to look at me.

"Well first of all are built like a body builder which is no size for a doctor. You barely ever talk like one saying what is bad for my health and what is good and most of all your too kind for a doctor and most Kenyan doctors are mean." I replied and he laughed at that last statement.

"My body is thanks to rugby and I thought you liked my body?" He questioned me brows furrowed.

"I do love it a lot but it's not exactly what you would envision for a doctor." I replied.

"Well I can't really change that but I plan on leaving rugby behind when I start my residency so am sure I'll loose a lot of the muscle." He explained and I pouted making him chuckle. "Don't pout. I'll keep going to the gym and keep being a giant Teddy bear for you as you like to put it." He said.

"Good." I said pecking his lips.

"Back to your reasons why you forget I'm a doctor. I like keeping my professional life away from my personal life that's why I don't give you my opinions on what's good and bad unless necessary. And for being kind all I can say is my mother raised me right." He explained and I smiled.

"Yes she did. You're also right about separating our different lives. It's why I don't psychoanalyze you or any of the guys." I replied.

"You hold back? Tell me anything that should be addressed with anyone we know, including me from your professional view." He requested.

"You sure?" I asked and he nodded.

"Well Vincents child-like behavior is an indication that he was probably raised by a single mom as only child who always made sure to be a part of every aspect of his life thus why he still behaves like man child. Am willing to bet money that they talk everyday at least twice. Nick uses flirting as a mechanism to hide his insecurities and fear of rejection." I explained and looked at Gabriel who looked at me with his mouth wide open in shock and I beamed in pride.

"You're going to be a really great psychologist." He complimented kissing my forehead.

"I know if I get the strength to do my masters but that's a story for another time. Now give my my chocolate. I hope you brought Oreos." I said pushing him off the bed.

He allowed me to because there was no way I would be able to actually push him off the bed without his help.

"Yes I did your Highness." He replied handing me a packet of Oreos which I ripped open immediately and tossed two in my mouth moaning at the taste.

Gabriel didn't turn the lights back on. Instead he sat across my bed, lifted my legs up and sat them on his lap. He took my socks off and before I could protest he began massaging my feet and I became a moaning mess.

"You should really stop making those kinds of noises if you can't deal with the consequences." He said putting my foot higher on his lap and I felt his hard on with my heel.

I smirked and tried to rub him but he pushed my foot away with a glare making me pout.

"Well it's not my fault you are so good at giving foot massages." I replied as I tossed the empty Oreo wrapper aside and grabbed a caldbury white chocolate bar.

This man really went all out. White chocolate is some expensive shit.

"Your future wife will be lucky." I commented without thinking and I felt Gabriel's hand immediately stop the massage.

I looked up at him wondering why he had stopped and found him looking at me sadly.

"Why did you stop and why are you looking I just killed a puppy?" I asked him.

"Do you see me in your future?" He asked looking very serious and I knew I had to be honest and couldn't joke my way out of this one.

But how could I answer a question I didn't really have an answer to. One that I've be been asking myself ever since we started dating and never got an answer to.

"Let me give you an easier one. Do you see a future for us?" He asked when I stayed silent for too long.

"I don't know." I replied honestly.

"What do you mean you don't know?" He asked his voice raised and for the first time I saw Gabriel get angry at me ever since we started dating.

He tried to push my feet off him but I couldn't let him leave angry at me. I tossed the chocolate aside and straddled him. I took his face in my hands and made him look up at me.

"Baby listen to me. This is all so new to me. I've never dated before. You're my first stable relationship and am scared. I really like you a lot and its scary as hell for me to be feeling like this towards someone for the first time. I can't promise you my future because it's too far away but I can give you now, the present and maybe tomorrow morning." I said smiling cheekily during that last part and he chuckled lightly and pulled me closer to him.

"I think I can take that for now. For your information I do like you a lot too and I do see you in my future but I'm patient enough to wait for you to see me in yours too." He replied looking so hopefully.

I didn't have the heart or the words to reply to that wouldn't break him so I just kissed him. I put all my unspoken feelings into that kiss wanting to make him feel all that I couldn't tell him. I never pictured my future with any man. Gabriel is different and special so maybe there is a future for us. I will really try my best to keep him because I can't imagine being with anyone else. Gabriel is my present and I hope that one day that turns to my future. So for now I'll just give him what I can and I hope that's enough for him.

"I would so fuck you right now but I'm in too much pain." I said when my lips pulled away from him.

"Sex can help ease period pains." He suggested wriggling his eyebrows making me laugh.

"I turned momma's good boy into a sex freak." I replied laughing.

"Yes your sex freak." He said and kissed me again but I pulled away quickly.

"No sex Gabriel. I mean it. It's too gross for me right now." I warned.

"That's okay." He said shrugging. "We can do a lot more without having sex." He conquered before smashing his lips on mine again and taking my breath away.

Make out session. Yes please.
