Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter Ninety Six

Maxi gives me a tissue and I soak up my tears.

"I'm sorry guys."

Jake gives one too his fiancée and she blows her nose.

"Don't be Giggles." Maxi says, "We get it."

"Well I brought a card game." My bestie says. "Wanna play?"

"Do I?!" I smile.

"There's no limit in players so we can all play."

"Perfect!"

Hours go by and soon Maxi leaves needing to get a present for is Wife as it's her birthday not to far away.

We continue to play, another couple of hours go by and Olivia starts to get tired the baby really taking it out of her lately.

Hoppo had just left forgetting about some paperwork that he needed to do by tomorrow.

All who's left is my handsome boyfriend who sits in the chair beside me.

"So how was work? I hope it wasn't to stressful because of me..."

"Oh Hoppo gave me a day off to stay with you yesterday."

"Oh good! Don't want that kinda distraction at work."

"Definitely don't."

My eyelids start to get heavy and I start to feel drowsy, my head a bit dizzy.

"So when are you going back to work?" I ask

"Well I'm going back tomorrow but it's a half shift. So I can pick you up."

I start to fall asleep as he was talking.

"Teresa you alright?" I hear my mum's voice saying my full name as she always did. After she passed my dad only called me my nick name which was Tessa. Ever since then I've stuck with it and people gave a nickname for my nickname which is Tess.

"It's only a bump Mum."

"Tess. You alright?" Harrison's voice snaps me out of it. He must've repeated.

"Huh?"

"You blacked out there for a second. Are you tired? Or is it something else?"

"Just tired..." I tell him, "Can you come on the bed with me?" I ask quietly.

"Why not." He sits on the side of me where there's no IV or wires from the monitor. He puts his arm carefully around me not to catch and possible wires. I put my head on his chest and relax feeling like I've been tense all day.

I moan sleepily my eyes closing softly, soon I fall asleep. No memories. No heart breaking pasts running through my mind. Only darkness and the feel of me being safe in his arms.

Once a few days had gone by I could finally go back to work sitting around the apartment is boringgg and I love my job that's where all my happiness domes from is from my job. It's it's something you enjoy, you'll never work a day in your life, and saving lives from the deathly grips the ocean can grab you with is something I enjoy because saving them is giving them a second chance and most see things in a different light. Trust me I know the feeling as I've almost and have drowned before.

The past month or so was burning but not as Birmingham at the first couple weeks.

Flashback:

"No alcohol. Pfft can't drink it anyways. No tv. No phone? No curricular activities?!? That means no surfing?!" I cry out and fall into Harrison's arms looking at the paper of not to do's that the doctor gave me.
