"I wish you were in town longer," Alex says as he lays next to me in the bed.

"Me too," I tell him as I lean on my elbow and face him.

He looks up at me and gives me a smile.

"Your ex...are you getting back together?" Alex asks as his smile disappears.

I shrug, "we always end up back together, but I don't know if I can stand another heartbreak."

"I know what you mean. I don't think I've had a relationship last more than a couple weeks since I got divorced. As soon as they find out I have kids and that I was married the run. I'm sick of being lonely Mika," he tells me.

"You're not alone. You've got me," I inform him.

His smile returns.

"I don't mind that you have kids. I want kids. Every time I bring kids up he ends up cheating on me," I tell Alex.

Alex pulls my head down closer to his. Our lips brush against each others.

"Kiss me," he says.

I nod and press my lips against his. He grabs the back of my head and deepens the kiss. As he rolls us over, so that he's on top of me, someone knocks on the door. I sigh and go see who it is. When I open the door I'm face-to-face with Andy.

"Wha-what are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Visiting my boyfriend?" Andy replies as he pushes past me and backs in with his bag. He walks through the living room part of the room and down the three steps to the bedroom.

"Andy...Alex I can explain," I say as I walk in behind him.

"Don't bother. I'm leaving," Alex says as he gets out of the bed and storms past me.

Before I can say anything he's out the door.

"Sorry?" Andy chuckles as he sits on the bed.

"We aren't together Andy. You can't just come visit me!" I shout as him.

"I told you I was sorry Mika. It won't happen again. Now let's move on."

I shake my head and storm into the bathroom. I lock the door and slide to the floor. Andy doesn't bother to come check on me.

After a good thirty minutes of feeling sorry for myself I decide to go to bed. Andy is already passed out. I love him, but I know he's just going to break me heart.

The next morning we decide to go walk around the city. And because I'm so lucky, I end up messing my ankle up some more. So, here I am...at the hospital again.

Alex walks into my room and keeps his eyes focused on his clipboard. He looks like he hadn't slept. Probably my fault.

"You're a doctor?" Andy asks Alex.

Alex points to his name tag. Andy rolls his eyes.

"A nurse will be in to take you to get an X-ray. I'll be back after," he says before leaving the room.

"What's his issue?" Andy asks.

I glare at him, "you."

"What are we Mika? Are we together or not?"

I sigh, "at the moment we're not."

"I really am sorry and I promise that it will not happen again. I love you," he says as he comes over to the bed and kisses me.

"I love you."

"Maybe after we're done here we can...you know..."

I chuckle, "maybe."

After my X-ray Alex comes back in.

"Well you managed to break your ankle. So much for taking it easy," Alex says harshly.

"No need to be a dick," Andy says.

Alex looks over at him and then to me.

"I'm sorry," Alex says as he looks back down at his clipboard. I can see his hand shaking.

"Are you okay Alex?" I ask him.

"Yea...yea...I'm fine," he replies.

The remainder of the visit was silent. After he wrapped my ankle up he wrote me another prescription. And then he was gone, again.
