Together... and Apart

Part 10

(Continued from last Chapter, still David's POV)

She can't be gone... she just can't. 

"David? David!" I hear voice calling me, it sounds like Courteney. I wake up quickly, my eyes swollen from crying so much. 

"We're allowed to see Jennifer now.. wanna go first? Y'know, have some privacy?" Court says. Wait.. it was a dream! It was all a dream! Thank God.. I can't imagine my life without her.. she's too special to me.

"Yeah sure," I say, with a smile appearing on my face. I walk towards Jennifer's private room when a doctor stops me to inform me about a few things.

"She just got out of surgery, she may be a little weak but we have everything done, the stitches are on already. You can go see your wife now," the doctor says.

"Oh.. uhm she's not my wife.." I say nervously. Yeah, I sure wish she was my wife though.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, you guys just looked like it- anyways, you may go inside," he continues. I blushed at his comment. Do we really look like a couple? I walk inside the room, there she is.. the love of my life, the most beautiful, talented woman who ever landed foot on this earth. She's sleeping peacefully, thats good. She needs rest. It's like 6am right now.. I guess going out wasn't the greatest idea. I take a seat on the armchair next to her bed. I watch her sleep, she's breathing heavily, theres something attached to her arm from this machine thing. I move the chair closer to her bed, so I could get a better look at her. I stroke her hair gently, trying my best to not wake her up. An hour passes, and I still don't take my eyes off her. Her eyes suddenly flutter open, finally revealing her crystal blue eyes which probably every one gets lost in. 

"David.." she says quietly, placing her hand on mine.

"Hey.. how are you feeling.." I whisper, after placing a small kiss on her forehead. Her skin is so soft, and her hair smells like coconuts, even after the whole incident.

"Good.. I guess," she giggles sweetly.

"I thought you were gone.. forever," 

"Ohh David.. and even if I did go.. what would you do? It's not like I'm that important or anything-"

"Yes you are, in my eyes.. you are the most important, special and extraordinary, and I can't imagine loosing you," I say to her, caressing her cheek. The door bursts open with Court and Lisa, who are literally crying their guts out. I quickly move back to the armchair, letting go of her cheek and her hand. I hope she knows that I meant what I said. Because I did.. I really did mean everything I said.

(New Year's Eve, December 31st)

Jennifer's POV:

Today it's New year's eve, I'm pretty excited. Courteney is hosting a small party, just the cast, and some of her other close friends. David's supposed to pick me up in about an hour, and I'm almost ready to go. Speaking of David, he's still really nice, well, he's the best.. and what he said to me in the hospital when I got a huge cut from a skate blade, it still lingers in my head. Did he really mean it? Does he like me? All I know is that my feelings grew wayyy more, and I just wish he knew that. I don't want to ruin this great friendship we have, but I want know that there might be a chance for us to start dating, maybe even get married. God, that would be great.. being 'Jennifer, Aniston-Schwimmer'.. it has a ring to it. I curl my hair and let it fly loose over my shoulders. I'm wearing a navy dress that's up to my knees, and it has a small slit, ending right above my right knee. God I can't wait to see him! Suddenly, the doorbell rings. I put on my black heels, and open the door. It's David. Wow.. we just stand their for a couple minutes, checking each other out. Jesus.. he looks so sexy.. I bite my lip while I examine his chest and his muscular arms. I can't see them too much because of the tux he's wearing. He's holding white lilies in one hand, and he's smiling so cutely.
