chapter six

The next morning.
Sophies POV.

The drugs mostly wore off while I napped, so while I can actually think properly, I'm in so much pain I wish I couldn't. Alfie stayed the whole morning looking aftr me, and even after my 4 hour nap I can hear him in the next room. He comes into the room, kisses my forehead and then crouches down besides me.
"Hey beautiful. How did you sleep?"
"My mouth hurts babe."
"I know sweetie, I'll get you some painkillers in a moment."
He helps me to sit up in bed, propping pillows behind my neck.
"Can you open your mouth for me babe? I need to change your gauze and check your stitches." He's hand cradles my chin, and I open my mouth slightly, but the pain is so strong I can only manage a bit.
"Good girl. Im so proud of you, I know it's hard." He removes the gauze from my mouth, then gently tips my chin into the air "bit wider for me sweetheart" I try a bit wider, but the pain makes me whimper and I suddenly close my mouth. "Hey hey I'm sorry im sorry" he brushes away the tears from my face. "Your stitches look okay, but I do need to put some more gauze in okay?"
I nod and he gently coaxes my mouth open, and places the cotton eitherside between my bite. "How numb are you feeling?"
"I don't know" I say as he strokes my hair. "My mouth still feels all weird but my jaw hurts so much."
"Hopefully it'll get easier soon sweetie. Im going to go get you something to eat and some painkillers, does that sound good?" I nod, then curl back up into my bed as he leaves the room.

"I don't really want you having solid food just yet with you still being numb, so just yoghurt for now im afraid. It is nice and cold though! That might help you feel better". He climbs into the bed next to me, and I sitbul before going to take the yoghurt off him.
"Uh-uh" he pulls it back. "I'm looking after you remember. And chances are this is going to go everywhere since you can't feel you're lips, and I dont want to clean it up. Open."

Hey guys! Thanks for reading so far. I was just wondering if you would like me to leave this story here, or continue with different dental/medical short stories about Sophie and Alfie?
