Chapter 16- Food Poisoning?!
After they got back home, Brent settled Anna in her crib for a nap so he could sit at the dining table and chat with Manny. He turned the computer screen toward him, "Babe. I found a couple tickets to Guatemala for just $394.17. You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Going on vacation ourselves?"
"Bingo!"
"Sure. When?"
"Next month. Say... the seventeenth...?"
"Sounds good to me," Manny yawned and leaned over into him. "Now what are you and I going to do about lunch? 'Cause I'm starving!"
"How does Chinese take-out sound to you?"
"Amazing, actually."
****************************
"How's your Sweet 'n Sour chicken?"
"Okay... And your General Tso's chicken?"
Brent suddenly choked and reached for his glass of water- chugging the entire thing down, "Super spicy!"
"Told ya you should've gone for somethin' a little more mellow. *groan*."
"Are you alright?!," Brent asked.
"I- I think I'm gonna be sick!!!"
Manny's hand flew to his mouth and he bolted from his seat. There was the sound of retching and coughing down the hall and Brent grimaced. He got up and walked over to the closed bathroom door to knock on it.
"Don't come in, Brent. Trust me. You do NOT wanna see this."
After a few minutes, the toilet flushed and Manny stepped out- wiping his forehead with a damp washcloth. "I don't think the Cubano sat well in my stomach. That felt absolutely awful!"
"So you're saying you think you may have food poisoning?"
"Oh, no...," Manny doubled over when another wave of pain hit him like a truck. "Yes."
"Why don't you go lie down for a while, then? I'll take care of the chores."
"Thank you. Wake me if there's anything I can help with at all."
Brent nodded but couldn't help but think to himself as he headed over to the sink, 'I don't think that's food poisoning he has. It certainly doesn't happen THAT fast!"
