The Magic Between Them (ON HOLD)

Chapter 27

If only everything I had could taste this good. I mean, everything tastes amazing. By the look on Dash's face, she is thinking that too. Coming from her, that means a lot. She's kinda a picky eater.

"Hey Twi, do you want my tomatoes?" she asks, nodding her head towards her salad.

"Sure," I say, and take them, adding them to my own. We both eat in silence for the next few minutes. It's funny, because you'd think hospital food would taste bad. This is just the contrary - it tastes AWESOME. To my left, Dash scarfs down her salad, getting every last piece. I take a bite of my chicken caesar salad. Yum.... Salads are amazing. I don't know how you can't like them. If you don't, you are seriously missing out. It's like with broccoli. It's SO good and everything, but a lot of people don't like it. I just happen to be one of the few that LOVE it. Taking a sip of my strawberry lemonade, I glance over at Dash. She turns to me, her mouth stuffed with her ham sandwich.

"What?" she asks innocently. "It's good!"

"You wanna watch TV?" I ask, and she nods, unable to answer.

"Hey! Sophia the First is on!" she squeals, after swallowing most of the sandwich in one bite. Okay... I wasn't really expecting that.

"You wanna watch it?" I ask, and she nods, like she is really excited. I press the channel, and Sophia comes up. Then, when I am sure that the TV will stay on, I start the rest of the meal. Let's see.. what to eat first? Well, I'm half-way done with the salad, so let's finish that. Then I start on my BLT - sooooo good. Then, when the episode ends, another comes on. Then I set the rest of my BLT aside for later, and turn to my soup. Mmmm... Lentil..... For those of you who don't love lentils, you are REALLY missing out - they are SO good. Finishing my soup, I look back over to Dash who is reading a book. I turn off the TV and grab one too. Oooohhhhhh... Red Queen! I absolutely LOVE this book! Suspense, mystery, a little romance.... and a sequel that doesn't come out for at least a year. *sigh* Why does my life have to be so unfair? Well, let's read it over again anyway. It's not like I have read it over 15 times........ - well, I have, but it is just that good.

"So.... Twi..." Dash says, smirking. "Who are you thinking about? Flash? Rob? or Mitch?" she asks, giggling a little.

"Um.... no one, because I am eating." Proving my point, I finish my soup and salad, and then take a huge bite of my BLT. She laughs, and her wings fling out, knocking over a pile of books. That gets me laughing too. Using my magic, I put them all back in a neat pile, and then finish the rest of my sandwich.

"So... Dash.... You asked me so I can ask you.." I say, nodding over at her. "Who are you thinking about?" I ask, giving her a fainting look, like Unicity does when something romantic happens. "Preston? No! Wait! Bolt?"

Dash gags. "Um... definitely NOT Bolt." She says, shuddering. "But, yeah.... I was kinda thinking about Preston.." she admits, looking down. "I mean, they come and give us a nice surprise and everything, and then I am here, stuck in the hospital, and we can't even be together!" she wails, starting to cry. Cheryl! comes in, looking worried. Well, semi worried because she is SO perky.

"Is everything all right, girls?" she asks, glancing over at Dash.

"She's just missing her boyfriend," I say, giving her a sympathetic face.

"Is there anything I can do?" Cheryl! asks, clearly worried that she will get in trouble because the staff would say it is her fault.

"No... But maybe you should get her dessert.." I say.

"Okay then!" she says, giving me a wide smile. "I'll get your's too!" and she runs out the door.

"It's okay, Dash! You'll see him tomorrow!" I tell her, leaning over to pat her arm.
