Jefferson & Ivan's Love Story: Stay With Me

Chapter 14- Savior

One week later

"Jeff, please wake up. I need you. Our baby needs you. Ivan and George need you. I love you, please wake up," Dave sobs. "I love you so much."

"David, it's not good for you to be crying this much," George says rubbing Dave's back.

"I know but with Ivan and Jeff in the hospital, I don't know if they will be awake in time for the baby's birth."

"We still have at least a month and a half before the baby is born."

"But the baby can come before then."

"I know baby. I don't want you to stress yourself out."

"I'm not Papi. I'm just worried."

"About what?"

"Everything."

"Like?"

"Like the fact that Jeff has a two-year-old daughter with his dumb-ass ex who put him in prison for three years. The fact that my bestfriend/boyfriend has a serious mental problem which lead him to almost kill himself. The fact that the two people who mean everything to me are fighting and can't get along. And the fact that I miss sex. Being pregnant makes me feel beautiful but sex doesn't sound good anymore. I want it but it feels different," Dave cries.

George just holds him and says, "Do you want to go home?"

Dave nods.

George grabs Dave's jacket off of the couch then the doctor walks in.

"Good afternoon gentlemen. I'm Dr. Ishmeal. I'll be Mr. Collins primary doctor."

"I'm George and this is David. We're Jeff's boyfriends."

"Okay. Mr. Collins was in the hotel when a fire started somewhere in the building. Then a blast started and he was knocked out. He has a concussion and his body is healing from the blast."

"Okay what do we need to do for him?"

"Talk to him and let his body heal."

"Okay. What time does visiting hours end?"

"Nine thirty."

"We should be back before then."

"Okay, see you then."

They walk out of the room and bump into someone.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going."

"That's okay. Who are you looking for?"

"Jefferson Collins."

"Who are you?" Dave asks.

"I'm Miguel. I work at the hotel."

"Okay. Go on into room 567," George says.

"Thanks," Miguel says as he makes his way to the room.

Miguel enters the room seeing Jeff for the first time in a week since their encounter that fateful day. He starts to cry with heartbreak from how he feels about Jeff.

"Hola, Jeff. ¿Cómo estás? Umm ... Te he estado extrañando desde la semana pasada. Me prometiste algo y quiero que cumplas esa promesa. Así que, por favor, despierta y ven a buscarme cuando lo hagas," Miguel says while crying. " Realmente quiero una familia y tú puedes hacer que eso suceda para mí. Ya tienes dos hijos y yo quiero ser una de tus mamás. Jeff, por favor, despierta y haz realidad mi sueño."

Then, Miguel leans over Jeff and touches his lips. At the same moment, Dave enters the room and sees Miguel kissing his boyfriend.

"What in the fuck are you doing to him?!" Dave yells.

"I'm kissing him."

"Get the fuck away from him!"

"I'm just thanking him for saving me," Miguel pleads.

"Get the fuck out of here!"

"Why?"

"David?" George says from the door hearing the yelling. " What's going on?"

"This son of a bitch was kissing Jeff."

"What?"

"I was thanking him for saving me."

"Saving you from what?" George asks Miguel.

"From myself."

"What do you mean?"

"He promised me something and I'm here to see if he remembered or not."

"What did he promise you?" Dave asks.

"Un familia," Miguel says.

"A family?" Dave says in shock.

"D-dave? George?" A whisper is heard.

Dave, George, and Miguel turn slowly towards Jeff. Jeff's eyes are opened and he looks around the room at everyone.

"W-water."

George pours water in a cup for Jeff to drink.

Jeff drinks the water in earnest.

Laying his head down slowly on the pillow, Jeff asks, "How long have I been here?"

"A week," Miguel says.

"Miguel?"

"Si."

"Te extrañé y escuché cada palabra que dijiste. Sí, cumpliré mi promesa. Solo dame un tiempo para recuperarme primero."

"Stop saying shit in Spanish because I can't understand it, fuckers!" David screams.

"Stop screaming then Dave," Jeff counters.

"Miguel?" George says.

"Yes."

"Can you come back tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"Because my boyfriends and I need to have a discussion."

"Sure. Jeff, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bueno. Mañana hablaremos de tu dulce coño y de lo que me encantaría hacerte cuando estemos un rato a solas. No reaccione demasiado porque mis novios están en la habitación. Solo sé que te llenaré de nuevo más temprano que tarde," Jeff says senually.

"Okay, see you later," Miguel says in return before turning to leave.

"What in the fuck did you say to him?"

"Just how I feel about him coming to see his savior."
