Game For Two

Close Quarters

It was early in the morning, when I felt a rub on my hand, my eyes fluttered open and seen Joey staring at me and at that moment my eyes werent the only thing that fluttered.

"Bella..Baby.."

"Joey its 6 oclock what you doing awake?"

"Nurse just came in"

"Nurse..why didnt you wake me up, are you okay?"

"Im fine, she was getting me ready"

"Ready for what?"

"Discharge..."

I wiped my eyes and looked over his IV was out and he was disconnected from all the machines they had him on last night.

"They are really discharging you?"

"Yes she left to get the doctor sign off and Im out of here"

"Joey thats great!"

"There is just one thing.."

"okay??"

" Baby Girl.. I kinda need help"

"with what?"

"I cant get dressed on my own with one hand and one foot."

He smiled and my heart just leapt into my throat, Ive missed that smile.

"Where are you clothes, are they even in any condition to wear?"

"They should be good enough to just get out of here with, I honestly dont care if I have to leave out of here naked, I just want out."

I seen her cheeks blush when I said that and Im not even going to lie even as messed up as I am it pleased me. I watched he slide from the chair and walk over to the window sill grabbing my clothes, I just watched her ass as she walked I couldnt help it. I know she said what happened the other night was a mistake and only happened because we were both black out drunk. The truth of the matter yes I was drunk, but not like her. I knew everything that happened and remember everything that was said. I honestly in my heart dont believe for a second that she felt it was a mistake, I know My Bella and she would have never did and said anything she said if she didnt blackout drunk or not. For that matter I know she was drunk but not like she is trying to get me to believe, Ive seen both sides of drunk Bella and Blackout Bella and that wasnt blackout. When she is blackout drunk she is just that blackout she just passes out. That was drunk and in feelings Bella and when she is like that she refuses to admit her feelings because it will make her seem weak and vulnerable. What she fails to admit no one other than Kendra knows her like I do, Ive seen the weak side and the vulnerable side of her and this is it. This is why she keeps trying to push me away. Im still not going anywhere. Well really Im not going anywhere since she is going to be stuck with me for the next four to six weeks. Im just hoping this will leave us time to talk, work some shit out because once Im healed I cant walk out that door and go back home to the city and not have made any headway with her. I know she is hard headed and stubborn but I know if she just listen to me we can work on this.

She turned smile on her face and walked over to the bed,

"come on baby let me help you with is."

"Did you just call me baby...?"

"Yeah I guess I did...".

She called me baby, she hasnt called me baby in I dont know how long. I managed to swing myself around till I was sitting on the edge of the bed and I seen her slowly reach over to my back to the laces of the hospital gown.
