As Ross spent the day in the apartment trying to regain his strength, Kayley went to school, and did her usual daily job of teaching, student monitoring, and advising.
As she tried to focus on her job, which she had always been very good at accomplishing, Kayley was really, really upset.
As Kayley was riding the subway home, the fury in her was rising,.
Kayley entered the apartment, saw Ross napping, turned in the lights, and started in.
"Hey! What the Hell is the matter with you, educator? Don't you know the meaning of the word, "sleep"? Ross said, calmly but indignantly.
"I dont care how tired or lightheaded you are, Market Boy! I am fucking fed up with this bullshit, and of my husband walking around like a half zombie who looks like he is ready to die!" Kayley shot back.
Ross walked out of the bedroom, went into his den, opened the couch, slammed the door, and locked it.
Kayley started banging at the locked door. "Dont you dare walk away from me and lock the door! I am talking to you, Market Boy!" Kayley said, her voice rising.
"If you are going to be rational and have a conversation with me, fine. If all you are going to do is rant and rave and scream at me, I do not want to say a word to you!" Ross fired back.
Kayley sighed. "I am going to be rational. Please unlock the door , come out, and talk to me. Your partner wants to talk to you" Kayley said, trying to remain calm in spite of how upset she was.
Ross walked past Kayley to the couch, and sat down. "Okay, teacher, I'm listening" Ross said quietly.
"Ross, you have no idea how upset I was all day at school. No offense, honey, but you look the worst now that I have ever seen you look. I know that you probably feel lightheaded, dizzy, and have a headache" Kayley said.
"The first two, yes, the third one, no" Ross said.
"Fine. Well at least you admitted it. Thus. I'm not going to chain you to the bed if you feel like you want to go into the office. However, and this is a big but. I want you to please watch yourself with your office hours, and please, I do not want you to leave this city and go on any trips until you see Doctor G, okay?" Kayley appealed.
"Teacher, I already told you that I'm not going to OKC until I see Doctor G., I stayed home today because I did not feel good. I'm not trying to hide anything from you, or lie to you, so please dont bust my chops, okay?" Ross asked.
Kayley kissed Ross "Okay"
That night, Ross had enough energy to make love to Kayley.
The next morning, Kayley went to work. Ross dragged himself into the office about ten.
Ross called Mister P
"Mister P, I'm sorry to say, my partner and good friend. I really have to stay grounded up here and see my Doctor until I find out what the Hell this is. That means no trips to see you and Mister Steve, for a week, ten days, two weeks. You saw what I looked like the last time I was down there. Without giving you specifics of the discussion because they are personal,. let's just say that the teacher "Read Me The Riot Act" so to speak last night about my behavior. We have phones, Zoom shows, FedEX , etc. If you must do a deal and I legitimately cannot come down, we can either work out where I sit out one deal, or I get a lesser piece. You know that I often think that Kayley overreacts about my medical situation, but this time I really feel like shit, okay?" Ross said.
"Of course, my Dear Friend and Partner. Health first. If you cant come for a week or two, you need to take care of yourself. " Fritz said.
"Thanks for understanding, Mister P. We will see what happens" Ross said.
As Ross was managing to sit in the office, later that morning, Tim called.
"No drama with my work, the VP's are doing fine. Ah, can I take you to lunch?" Tim asked.
"Yes, if it is a very calm lunch. Teacher blew up at me last night. I talked to Mister P this morning, and told him that I must stay grounded until I talk to the Doctor and this thing goes away. " Ross said.
"Understood, Shun Lee at 1, calm convo" Tim said.
"Fine" Ross replied.
Ross and Tim met at Shun Lee. Tim could see how lethargic and out of it Ross looked.
"Ross, just please look at this one thing. Tell me what you think, then give it to the guy you assigned my account to. I personally think that everything just got to you. " Tim said.
"I know Yet if I dont watch myself, not only will everything get to me, but the teacher will get to me, badly: " Ross said.
Ross left the office at 4, got home before 5, Kayley was not home yet, but arrived home shortly after.
"See,. I'm here. I went into the office. I talked to Mister P and told him my situation, and that I cant come down until I see the Doctor. I had lunch with Tim and told him that I will look over something he gave me and then give it to the guy I assigned to his account. Market Boy is trying to be good, teacher. Please, please dont berate me. I am not blowing you off, being difficult, fighting with you, or not listening to you, okay? I'm admitting that I dont feel well and have told you exactly what the problem is. I',m going to see the Doctor. Just please bear with me, okay?" Ross appealed.
Kayley kissed Ross. "But of course. Teacher will get off your back and just let the process play out. " Kayley replied.
As the week went along, Ross tried to accomplish anything at all in the office. Ross did not like the fact that he could not go to OIKC, but Ross knew what his body was telling him, and that he had no choice.
What would Ross do? When would Ross feel better? When would he be able to see the Doctor?
Those things would be seen.
