The title of this fic is a 17th century slang term for vomiting. As you'd expect, a graphic puking scene is contained within, so you have been warned!
The harvest social had been rather lively, not what Sarah had expected from a church. She'd really enjoyed it - even more so since Graham the organist had asked her to go with him. Despite the large age gap, she was falling for him big time.
"The vicar certainly likes his booze doesn't he?" Sarah said as she headed towards her car, with Graham lumbering alongside her. He'd drunk rather too much as well and was over the legal limit. Unconcerned, Sarah had volunteered to drive him home.
"Yes. He does. Uh, my car...what about," Graham mumbled, massaging his abdomen as cramps nagged at him. He felt dreadfully bloated.
"Oh it'll be fine on the church hall car park overnight. I'll drop you off tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem. Thanks so much, Sarah. Um, are you sure you're okay with me staying over at yours?"
Greasy fingers of nausea were pawing at his innards.
"More than okay," came her reply. She bit her lip in excitement, hoping he wasn't too drunk that he'd fall asleep as soon as she arrived home.
On the journey back, Graham's nausea slowly but surely increased. The organist groaned and clutched his belly. The motion of the car was adding to his torment and it wouldn't be long before the inevitable happened.
"Graham?" She looked at him. His face was pale and he was sweating. "Oh God, you don't look well at all."
"I feel sick, Sarah. Really sick. Shouldn't have scoffed all those cakes and pies. Not to mention all that whiskey."
"Not far now," she replied, heading down the quieter B road which led out of town. "Can you hold on?"
Pain lanced up his abdomen. Graham took a deep breath. That awful but familiar feeling was assaulting his gut.
"Oh no, not again!" He gasped. "Sarah, I'm going to be sick! Please can you stop the car?"
Sarah pulled up in a small lay-by, and jumped out of the car. Graham unfastened his seatbelt and tried to remain calm.
"Shit, I can't believe this is happening again," he sighed, as Sarah opened the passenger door and helped him out. "After that awful experience in church when I'd eaten that dodgy prawn sandwich and I..."
"Ssh, don't worry about that," she said, helping him to his feet. The night breeze was cool and refreshing. "A bit of fresh air might help..."
"You must think I'm always ill. Whenever we meet, something gross like this always happens."
