A few seconds later, the phone was in her hand. Blair could barely look at it since her head hurt so bad, but she had to call her boss to let her know she couldn’t come in. She was actually disappointed about missing work. In the past, she always thought she’d love any excuse to miss work, but Blair really enjoyed this job. The kids were great and they constantly kept her entertained, even when they were being completely feral.

It only took two rings for Blair’s boss to pick up the phone. “Hey, Joyce. I’m really sorry to do this, but I came down with something and I’m not going to be able to come in today. Honestly, I’m not too sure about tomorrow either. I’m so sorry for letting you know at the last minute. I was fine when I went to bed, but now…” She couldn’t finish her sentence because she started to cough again. “Well, yeah. As you can hear, I’m not doing too great. If I could come without risking getting the kids sick I would, but—”

“Blair,” Joyce interrupted her rambling. “I completely understand. This happens a lot because of all of the germs that spread throughout the building. Just take good care of yourself and let me know once you are feeling well enough to come back. I’ll plan on you being out until I hear otherwise.”

Even though she didn’t have much work experience, Blair still understood how lucky she was to have such an understanding boss. She couldn’t say Joyce was the best boss she had ever had, seeing as how she knew for a fact the other person she had worked for looked very good naked.

Erin also looked amazing when she wasn’t naked, and the way she was looking at Blair with wide, caring eyes made Blair want to beg her to stay in bed with her all day. She didn’t want to encourage Erin to be irresponsible, especially since she was trying to prove to her how responsible she could be, so she forced herself out of bed. “It looks like I’ll be spending the next day or two at home, but I’ll let you know as soon as I’m feeling better and maybe we can do another movie night…?”

Much to Blair’s surprise, Erin shook her head. “Absolutely not. I’m the one who got you sick. I’m going to call my boss and tell him I need to work from home today and tomorrow.”

“You can do that?” Blair was actually amazed that Erin was willing to do that. For her. She was also pretty sure her heart was currently as warm as her head.

Erin shrugged. “I should probably tell him it’s for Nolan, not for a very sexy woman, but yes. It shouldn’t be any problem at all.”
