Use Somebody

Chapter 26:

Louis's POV:

They gave Harry a shot of Novocaine and I saw Harry wince.

"Okay we have to reset his arm and then we can take the x-ray and see if it's properly aligned." Doctor Atkins says.

I knew what was going to happen and so I got Harry's attention.

"Hey, Harry, look at me. Hey baby, I'm still coming by the bakery after work. I'll see you later too. Maybe we can make something in your new cookbook." I try to distract him.

"Jesus!" Harry yells.

I grab his hand and kiss the back of his hand. I got his attention back and he's looking back at me.

"I know it hurts, it will be over soon. I promise. After this we'll go do something fun or you can sit with me until my shift is over. Whatever you want to do." I kiss him and I feel him kiss me back.

I watch as they reset his arm and see the bone pop back into place. I press my lips harder onto his. I felt him wince and hear him whimper. I count to three in my head.

"It's done, they're doing the x-ray now." I say.

"The x-ray looks good!"Doctor Atkins says.

"They're going to wrap it and cast it now." I tell Harry.

I was back in my office and Harry was sitting next to me. I was charting since I just did my rounds, Harry was sitting in the extra chair in my office asleep. He had come into my office and fallen asleep within minutes. I had a pillow placed in between his arm and the arm of the chair.

I hear someone knock on my office door.

"Come in."

The door opens to reveal my boss, Mr. Elton. He walks over and takes a seat in front of me at my desk.

"Tomlinson, how are your today?" He asks.

He must not have noticed Harry in the corner so I didn't say anything about it since he was still sleeping.

"I'm good. What brings you in today?" I ask.

"Over the weekend it was your birthday so I dropped by to wish you a happy birthday and to let you know we will have a lunch to celebrate." Mr. Elton said.

"That's not necessary. You don't need to do that." I try to get out of it.

"Don't be ridiculous. Our best labor and delivery doctor deserves to be celebrated and besides I have someone I want you to meet. It's tomorrow, bring a guest too." He says and waits for my answer.

"Louis, my arm hurts." Harry says, waking up from his spot on the chair.

Mr. Elton glances over and realizes that he must have been there the whole time.

"Tomlinson, patients get their own rooms." He tells me.

I walk over to Harry and check his arm. "It's fine, it's probably from your fall." I tell him.

"Tomlinson, did you hear me? Patients get their own rooms." He says again.

"Mr. Elton, with all due respect, he's not a patient. He's my boyfriend, he fell off a ladder and he's waiting out my shift so we can go home. I only have an hour or two left. He hasn't bothered me, he's been sleeping the whole time, I've gotten all of my work done and I don't want him to leave. His sister can't take care of him because she has her own kid to take care of and a job she goes to every day and his mom is in the other town over. I'm his only other option." I explain.

He must have accepted the response because he left my office and didn't come back. I glance over at Harry and see him sitting up and watching me close the door.

"I'm your boyfriend huh?" Harry says curiously.

I walk over to him and touch my nose to his.

"You're my boyfriend, my favorite baker, my party partner, my special patient, and the kindest person I've ever met. Also you're really cute when you sleep." I say and kiss him.
