Chapter 37
"I think you need to get changed. I'll prepare your bath." Carlos suggested as he left the cooking for Desmond.

I bit my lips, my face flushing from embarrassment as I caught eyes with Xavier.

He held my hand and smiled at me. "You don't have to feel bad or shy. We aren't bothered seeing you this way. It is typical, and we will ensure that you receive the best care possible."

As he walked me to my bathroom, my heart skipped and raced faster.

I didn't know how to feel. Embarrassed, stupid or sad.

Carlos had filled the water tub with water and I could see every item I needed to use was in place.

"Thanks," I muttered to them, my voice barely above a whisper.

With a confused expression on my face, I stood for a while after they grinned back at me.

What now? Do they intend to bathe me or are they just waiting to watch me take a bath?

"We'll bathe you," Xavier and Carlos said simultaneously, causing me to wide my eyes in disbelief.

I scratched my nape as I bit my lip.

I guess it'll be cool having them bathe me but then… I felt a little awkward.

I took off my stained dress, gave it a good soak, and lowered myself into the tub, sinking into the warm, comforting water.

Carlos and Xavier got a cloth each and began scrubbing my skin gently. I smiled faintly as I saw soap bubbles and lather forming in the water.

"I have a slight headache. Putting water on my head would be wonderful. I do it as a means of relieving myself.." I said to them and Carlos smiled before scooping some water and emptying it on my head.

My black hair became wet and sticky as it hugged my face tightly. I closed my eyes as Carlos scrubbed my hair with his fingers, trying to give me a head massage.

Xavier scrubbed and massaged my body, and I felt goosebumps all over as both their fingers did wonders to my skin.

I felt an electrifying feeling and a tingling sensation and I shuddered each time they ran their fingers on my skin.

Carlos leaned forward and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "How are you feeling now, mate?" He asked with a warm smile.

"I'm feeling much better. Your hands are quite good," I complimented, my eyes remained closed as I was already in the extreme stage of cloud nine.

Just then, Xavier slipped his fingers down my laps, giving me a warm soft caress.

A loud moan escaped my lips; I wouldn't deny the fact that I was enjoying his touches.

Xavier continued with his caress on my skin, his fingers exploiting every part of my body.

"What are you doing?" Carlos asked Xavier in a mutter. He wasn't in support of what Xavier was doing to me.

"Relax.. If doing this won't make her feel any cramps then I don't mind doing it." Xavier responded, his voice above a whisper but I could hear him.

"You're only turning her on, coward. What if she demands for sex?"

"Then I'd gladly give her," Xavier responded with a grin, his fingers still exploring parts of my body.

"Dude. You don't smash a lady on her rag week." Carlos mumbled quietly and after some minutes, Xavier stopped fondling me.

"Let's get you a towel, mate." Carlos suggested as he got on his feet. He grabbed a blue soft towel behind me while Xavier carried me out of the bathtub.

Carlos wrapped the towel around me and we all exited the bathroom.

I scratched my head as I glanced at the both of them shyly. My lips quivered as I was unable to tell them what had been bothering me.

"Can I go out just for a few minutes?" When I eventually inquired, they drew their brows together, attempting to comprehend my question.

Carlos grabbed my chin with his finger while my lips trembled, his blue gaze penetrating my lips with fascination.

"Why do you want to go out mate? Is there anything you want to tell us? Is there anything you want to get? We can get it for you."

I sighed as I looked down at my toes, not having the courage to exchange glances with them.

"My– my period came too early and I wasn't really prepared for it. The thing is I – I don't have a sanitary pad with me at the moment which is why I wanted to go out to get it." I explained, my eyes still fixed downwards.

Carlos placed his finger under my jaw and raised my head. My eyes met with his and he gave me that warm soothing smile.

"You don't have to worry. I'll go get it."

Carlos placed his hands on my cheek and kissed me gently before leaving the room.

Wow! Wasn't that sweet?

Xavier stood and smoothened my hair with his fingers, his deep brown eyes boring into mine.

"I think I have to go back to the bathroom," I suggested and he gave me an intense questioning gaze.

"Since I don't have a pad on for now, I don't want to, urm.. you know, drip on the floor."
I explained to him shyly and he widened his eyes, nodding in understanding.

"I get it, you can go," Xavier muttered and I smiled before making my way back to the bathroom.

After Carlos showed up with the sanitary pad, I put it on and wore my clothes before joining them in the dining room.

The table was filled with exquisite meals; Bacon, Chicken wings, barbeque, rice, vegetable, etc.

I didn't feel like eating probably because I was on my period but I forced myself to eat anyways as they've put so much effort in cooking those delicious meals.

"Do you want more?" Desmond asked as he brought a bowl of chicken forward.

I smiled sheepishly and nodded, not having the courage to refuse the offer since I was already filled.

Desmond smiled sweetly as he filled my plates with the content in the bowl. I flashed him a cute sheepish smile as I chewed on my food, gulping down my drink along.

Carlos decided to crack a joke as we ate, making funny expressions that got us all laughing.

While I cackled lightly, I felt a sharp pain again in my head and my smile fainted quickly.

I held my forehead, and I could feel my temperature getting hotter.

Gradually, I got a splitting headache as their chuckles filled my ears.

I felt a severe pain in my abdomen. I knew it was my menstrual cramps.

My eyes widened. It has never been this painful.

As I stood up abruptly, their eyes fell on me with their face etched with concern.

I scurried to the bathroom, ducked my head in the toilet bowl and puked all that I had eaten.

"Are you alright?" Desmond asked, his voice tinged with concern.

I knew they were all behind me as they must have followed me to the bathroom.

"Yeah . Yeah…it's just.. I'm…." I puked once again without completing my statement.

Carlos dashed out and arrived shortly with a bottle of water.

I drank it and gargled before spitting out in the bowl.

"I don't feel too well. I've got a splitting headache, high temperature and abdominal pain."

"Come," Carlos said and I clasped his outstretched arm, looking pale as I followed him out of the bathroom.

Desmond and Xavier trailed behind us and we all entered my bedroom.

"Lay down okay. I'll get you something else to eat." Carlos suggested while I shook my head.

"No.. I – I don't feel hungry. I'm just not feeling too well."

Desmond raised my curtain, in an attempt to lighten the room.

Xavier walked towards Carlos and muttered, "What do we do? Should we take her to a hospital?"

"No. It's just menstrual cramps. She doesn't need to go to the hospital. All we have to do is give her maximum care till she feels better." Carlos responded as he tapped Xavier on the shoulder.

Xavier nodded before turning to look at me.

I shifted as Desmond placed some pillows behind me.

Carlos placed his hands on my neck and forehead, wanting to feel my temperature.

Desmond kissed me on the forehead before giving me some fruits to eat.

"Thanks," I muttered as I took a bite of the apple in my hand.

Xavier's attention had been on his phone for some time now and we wondered what he was so engrossed with.

"What are you doing Xavier?" Carlos asked as he wringed a towel in a bowl filled with water before dabbing it on my forehead.

"I'm googling some stuff on the internet."

"What is it you're googling about?" Carlos asked with curious eyes as he continued with dabbing my forehead with the towel.

"How to take care of a lady on her period?" Xavier revealed with a cute smile, his eyes were still fixed on his phone.

"I have no idea which is why I am doing research," Xavier added as he turned to give us a shrug.

He looked so cute and I was so happy to see him go through this length by doing research on how to take care of me.

"It's what we're doing mate, you'll learn from us and not from the internet." Carlos boasted as he dabbed my face gently.

Desmond massaged my head and I felt a little better as it made the splitting headache subside.

"Why don't you help with massaging her tummy? She'll feel better if you can help with that."
Carlos suggested while Xavier grinned as he advanced towards us.

"I guess you're right,"

Xavier pressed my tummy gently, flashing me a warm soothing smi
le.

I couldn't be more grateful to have three mates who cared so much about me.

I closed my eyes as they caressed and fondled me, and after a few minutes, I slept off.
