Lenny's POV That wasn't the only video Liv found. They found all my audition tapes for all the plays and musicals I applied to and videos my friend Bryan posted on his Facebook of me goofing off.
Seb was watching them all in awe. He wishes I could still speak. I guess I still wish I could too.
They let me out of the hospital two days later, when I was cleared of a brain bleed and a concussion. Seb argues about it, but I told him I felt fine.
The next week, he wouldn't let me do anything. I wasn't allowed to clean or cook and I had to watch him do it, which made me cringe.
He was trying, but still.
He was even hesitant to kiss me too much. Didn't want me getting lightheaded. Uh, I think that's the whole point!
He was back at work today which meant he wasn't breathing down my neck. But he told me I wasn't allowed to do anything today. Especially nap. Like I was that stupid to do that again.
I sat on the couch and binge-watched How I met your mother all day. Then at 5 pm I got up and made dinner. I found a new recipe for a veggie bake.
I hear Seb's car pull into the driveway just as I sat down with my food. The front door opens and he walks in, sniffing the air. "Did you cook?" He asks.
I nod and hold up my bowl.
"I thought I told you to rest," he says.
I huff. I am not fragile.
"Leena you just had five stitches put into your head, you should be taking it easy," he says. He takes his jacket off and I couldn't help looking at his flexed muscles. "Leena?!"
I make eye contact and smile.
"You think this is funny?" He questions. "You could've died."
My smile drops off of my face.
"It scared the fucking shit out of me," he says. "I can't lose you, Lenny."
"You won't."
He walks over and leans down, kissing me. The kiss gets broken too soon for my liking.
We eat dinner together and then Seb announces that he was going to shower, but doesn't ask if I want to join him.
When he is out of my sight I bring my knees up to my chest and rest my head there. I need to find a way to bring the old Seb back. The one who would passionately kiss me when I entered the room or he did. The one who would shower with me and kiss every one of my scars and tell me how beautiful I am.
I miss him

"Why do you have a resting bitch face?" Liv asks as she enters the house.
"Have fun you two," Seb says. "But not too much fun, Liv, she is still resting."
Liv rolls her eyes. "Yes, mum."
Seb kisses my forehead and walks out the door. Liv eyes me as it's all happening. She smirks when the door shuts behind Seb. I glare at her.
"He's been babying you hasn't he?" She questions.
I nod.
"Yeah, he did that when Chelsea broke her leg too," Liv states. "Except in your case, it's worse because you nearly died."
I huff.
She quirks an eyebrow. "It's not just that though is it?"
I shake my head.
She hums. "He cut off sex."
I nod and mimic mind blown.
"I didn't even know you guys got that far yet," she says.
"Not that far," I mouth.
"Just like handjobs and blowjobs?" She questions. I nod. "Does he go down on you?"
I nod again. "Used to."
"You're horny," she laughs. "You aren't annoyed that he's babying you, you're annoyed because you're wet and he's not doing anything about it."
I huff. She didn't have to put it like that.
"Lenny you came to the right girl," Liv murmurs. "If I know anything, it's how to seduce a man."
I frown and she grabs my hand, pulling me into my room.
"Now do you have any lingerie?" Liv asks. I shake my head. "Maybe we will have to go with the no bra and panties look," she hums.
My eyes widen in horror.
"Okay not the way to go," she mutters. "Show me your underwear drawer."
I point to the bedside table and she starts scrummaging through it. She pulls out a black lacey thong I have worn once. I was wearing a dress and if I wore anything else, anyone would've been able to see my pantie line.
"Perfect," she murmurs. She chucks it at me. "Put it on."
I walk to the bathroom and change into it. I walk back out and she was scrolling through her phone.
"We are going out," she says. "Another way to entice a guy is to make him mad."
I shake my head. I don't want him to get mad at me.
"He wouldn't yell at you or hit you," Liv murmurs. "He will take it out on you a different way."
