Stay by my side || Chris Evans

Part 8

CHRIS' POV

The doctor said that Lily would've been right back but, after what happened outside my room, there's no trace of her or the doctor either. I'm afraid that they brought her away from me, that maybe they sent her home.

She's no harm for anyone, she's just mad. I don't know what the doctor told her but, if she reacted that way, it was nothing good and at her place I would've set the hospital on fire.

I just want her next to me again, being without her is like breathing without my lungs. She's my fresh air, and I wouldn't have let anything happen to her.

I press the button to call a nurse and when she arrives into my room, I ask her for Lily. She's telling me that she's still in the hospital but doesn't know where, maybe in an isolation room because she went insane.

I ask the nurse to find her and bring her to me immediately or I would've sued the damn hospital. She nods silently and runs out of my room, looking for my girlfriend.

LILY'S POV

The doctor told me to follow him into a private room so that we can talk with calm. I felt so bad when I saw him with a black eye and a cut on his lips. I apologize before taking a seat.

I take a deep breath and start to tell the doctor what I've been reading on the web.

"I read that there is this new, experimental, way to cure people when there are no complete givers for the heart transplant. Basically, you try to transplant half of the old heart, exchanging it with half of a new one, even if they have two different blood types."

After saying these words out loud they seem more stupid than what I thought. Half a heart? How is that even possible?

I think it's the desperation that is making me me talk, the will of trying to save the only person that matters in my life but, speaking in realistic terms, I don't know if that is really possible.

The doctor keeps staring at me but in reality his eyes are still, as he's thinking about what I said.

"It isn't completely impossible. One of the doctors of our team is actually the inventor of this theory but it is still an experiment in its first phases. We are not talking about something scientifically proved. For now, it's just fantasy. I know that is your desperation that is making you talk and move now and, if you and Mr. Evans are ready to take the risks, I can talk with my collegue who will proceed with the operation."

Why not? At least we would've tried them all, we will not live with the regret of haven't tried.

"Well, what are we waiting for then?"

I jump from the chair and hug the doctor. There's no such thing that could've made me happier. Maybe the sun is shining on us again. Maybe.

CHRIS' POV

"Where have you been? You disappeared for hours. I was worried, I missed you to be honest, I need you here next to me."

These are the words I tell to her once she comes back into the room, closing the door behind her.

"Well a lot of things happened actually. First the doctor told me some bad news and I started to beat him up, then some of the nurses took me to an isolation room and, while I was there, I started to figure out a solution for a little problem. I found a solution and went to talk with the doctor I previously beat up and he told me that it was possible so now that problem won't be really a problem anymore."

She said these things in thirty seconds straight, in fact she's breathless. I tell her to calm down and lay next to me on the bed.

I start to touch her hair again and I close my eyes, breathing in all her perfume. She starts to trace circles on my chest and, slowly, she starts to pass her fingers downwards. First, she stops on my abs, tracing a trail all around them and then, when she's satisfied with them, her hand goes under the sheets.

Her touch is making me go insane and a groan escapes from my mouth as she starts to come closer to my sweet spot. I can see lust in her eyes, she misses me and I miss her but it's not the place. We can't do that there.

With the last crumb of reason left in me I stop her hand and remove it from under the sheets.

"Lily please, we can't do that here. Not now. I miss you too, in all senses, but there are thousands of people out there, they can hear us."

I can see delusion in her eyes and they become shiny and fill with tears and she moves away from me, as to take distance. The empty space left next to me becomes immediately cold, as the whole room. Living without her, without her touch is like living in the north pole. Maybe she's thinking I don't desire her?

"Wait, no no Lily please you misunderstood. I desire you with all the fibers of my body, you see just how easily your touch can turn me on" pointing where her fingers were starting to explore "but we can't do that right now. Only God knows how hard I want you but I'm not in the conditions, please understand me. When all of this will be over, there will be nothing else I would do than please you."

LILY'S POV

I had to take the distances because if I kept doing what I started I wouldn't be able to stop. I had to sit and calm down but seeing him stopping me from doing something for him made me feel stupid.

I know he desires me too, I know it from just feeling his body, but I'm crying because I let my desire overcome my reason in a moment where what I was doing wasn't necessary.

I calm down and, after some time, I lay again next to him, allowing him to touch my hair as he loves to do.

We spend all day that way, hugging, keeping each other as close and tight as possible, as any of us could've escaped from that touch. We just cuddle and close our eyes dreaming of each other.

With all that happened I fall asleep right away and completely forget to tell Chris about the transplant. I don't really complain, in the morning I would've had all the time to tell him.
