A Walk with Another Imperfection

I stared at his hand. He was still holding it out to me with a warm smile. I looked to his face and took his hand. I don't know why I did it, I just followed him along like a possessed minion us both pulling along our IV cables.

We walked and he looked back at me. He looked forward again with a sly smile. I then realized where we were going. The gym. I looked at him with panic. I didn't mind walking but exercising? No way! I am in the hospital and I will be a depressed little teenager girl only wanting to eat ice cream and read. "Why are we going to the forced torture room? I don't wanna go and you can't make me." He looked back at me with one eyebrow raised . "Okay maybe you can," I relent. " But that doesn't mean you can get me to do anything involving exercise. Nu uh. " All he says is, "Okay."

We walked to the gym and go inside. He turns around and pulls me closer to him. We have both hands locked and he looks at me intently. He suddenly turns around and crafts me to the middle of the mat. Then he abruptly pulls me into a hug with him.

That was sudden.

He takes a deep breath and speaks to me. "Do you know why I brought you here?"

I stare the obvious and say, " Exercise? I don't know. What else would a gym be for. "

He just chuckled and tells me, "No silly, I don't like exercise as much as you do. The reason why I brought us here is because I first saw you here, today. I was in that cover over there." He points to the car right corner. " you were lifting the little waits and then you quite. I was however reading in here since I wanted to get out of my room and act like I was doing well by pretending to exercise. But that's not the point. The mooing is, is that I was awestruck whenever I first saw you walking in those doors. Even though it was a pitiful sight to see you become breathless over five lifts. " I lean back and smack him on his chest. "I have a rare lung cancer disease thingy, that's only be in a few people and they all died so I can be put of breath easily thank you!"

He just laughs and pulls me back to his chest. "I know ,which makes you even more special. But I knew we would get along immediately, and that you would fall dangerously in love with me the moment your eyes feasted this beast." I gasped. " I am so not in love with you! " He pulls me back just enough so our faces are close and he can look into my eyes. "Oh but you will. Trust me." He said, his voice husky and smoldering.

I leaned into his chest again not able to look at his face anymore. "Whatever you say." I tell him. All he does is says 'that's right. '

We stay embraced like that for five minutes until I say, " Can we get lunch or something? It stinks like BO. " We both laugh, get out stuff, and high tail it out of there.

We wan to the cafeteria and order something for him and I get jello and sherbet. I'm not all that hungry but I'll have sherbet ice cream and jello. We sat at a table and are our ordered food. "Is that all you eat?" He points his fork at me and asks with a mouth full with chicken salad. I grimace at the sight in his mouth and then I look at my food compared to his. I usually eat less than this. Maybe I need to eat more. "First of all," I start. "Do not talk with your mouth full. Second of all, I usually eat less than this or nothing at all. Your just fat." He scoffs and stabs his fork into his salad. " I'm not fat,I'm normal. Your just weird and want to starve yourself to death. When we wed in four years you have to stay alive, whether it's me shoving food down your throat or you eating my food peacefully. " I just laugh sarcastically. "Your way too cocky." " No I'm just right. " He counters back. Sure buddy, sure.

We finish and we walk to our rooms, hand in hand. I wonder, is this what boyfriend and girlfriends do, or is it normal for friends? I honestly don't remember. I've been cooped up for so long I forgot what what normal people do.Luka decided to drop me off at my room first, wanting to make sure I was okay and getting to my room safely. So touching, I know.

We reach our destination and he pulls me in for another hug. "You have to see me tomorrow, wait what if you get hurt or you can't come out, what's your number, my is ##########, write that down where's your phone. " He walks into my room looking for. My phone, breaking our hug.

"Hey! Maybe I wanted our hug to last ya know." I tell him, outing my hands on my hips. He tips his head back and groans, "Why do you have to be so cute, I wanna kiss you so much. " I'm standing in the door way and he is on the side of my bed and we stare at each other. I take a deep breath and say, " I would like to see you try, to kiss me. "

He looks at me and then his goes into an all knowing grin. "You want me to kiss you don't you?" He goes around the bed and sauntered closer to me. I bite my lip. " Maybe, maybe not. "

He chuckled and pushes me into the door frame, his arms trapping me and my back pressed against it with nowhere to go. " I'd like to test that maybe. "He says in a husky voice.

"Then let's experiment, shall we?" I say back looking at his lips, him looking at mine. Just kiss me already, I try to tell him telepathically, but to no avail. He starts to lean in closer, I wait in anticipation, the butterflies in my stomach going wild. My inner being lights up and I want the kiss so badly, I want to kiss him and feel every inch of his body.

"He hem."

A nurse interiors out almost kiss.

"I think you two can do that tomorrow. Get to your rooms. "

Stupid nurse. I'll get her back. She has been getting a little too touchy feely with another make nurse and I'm just waiting for them to kiss. Next time I'll show her for interrupting the best day of my life since I've gotten here. "You'll get your kiss, don't worry Little Girl." I find my attention going back to Luka and realize I was seething at the nurse. " Please like I'll ever want that. And I'm not a little girl. "

He chuckles," It seems like you wanted that kiss really badly just a few seconds ago. And if your not little girl then your Doll Face, Doll Face. "

I only pout. "Whatever." I grumble .

He laughs and I try to fight the smile taking over. "Tomorrow Doll Face. " I watch him walk off down the hall to his room, him dragging his IV. "Latter Tom Cat." And I hear him laugh.
