Picking up where I started.

Starting new

Malachi started preaching to me from the hospital bed for some days now, I would always come and listen. He was always really patient with me,even when the doctors came in he taught them as well. Malachi had been getting better now,his mom and dad came in regularly to check on him. Malachis friends came today and brought him flowers they joked around for a minute before leaving for work.I admire Malachi so much, as of now he was sleeping getting in some rest.

I gaze at him as I was reading my Bible, I closed it and I walked over to him. He had a couple of scans done,and some shots. I pray for him everyday, I pray for him so hard.
I scan his face and couldn't help but cry a little ,I gave glory to God for keeping him alive. I touch his face slightly and leaned down toward him, placing a kiss on his cheek.

I whisper the words " I love you."

Malachi's p.o.v

I heard her,loud and clear. Her kiss woke me up, and when she said those words. My heart started beating more,I kept my eyes closed. I wasn't gonna let her know I was up yet.

End of p.o.v

I sit down in the chair next to him and finish reading. I wanted to tell him how I felt about him,I wanted to talk about everything. Some time past now and I saw movements coming from the bed.

"Hmm.." I heard him hum
I look at him and he turns his head to the side looking at me,I smile at him.

"Hi." I say to him

"Hello." He speaks
I couldn't tell what he was thinking,but I got up and fixed his pillow.

"Do you wanna sit up?" I asked him

"Yes please." He lifted up a little,I fluffed his pillow and sat it back.

"Thank you." He cleared his throat right after speaking.

He looks at me and before I could speak he cuts in "what have you been doing?"

I look around the room and sigh "um just reading and writing." I look at my book on the table.

He nods and watched me carefully "you want to talk?"

"Huh-" I say In surprise

He gave a small laugh and pats right next to him "come."
I got in the bed and sat next to him,he looked down to think for a moment.

"Well?" He said expecting

"I just, I don't know." I shrug looking down at my hands.

"Talk to me Aaliyah." He didn't look at me

"I just wanna tell you how sorry I am." I whisper the last part

He sat there and smiled"I don't really care,I got over it. It wasn't the right time is all."

I look at him I sigh with a hurt in my tone "I want it to be tho, Malachi I wish I had said yes."

"It wasn't the time Aaliyah,it's okay." He stared into my eyes

"Can I have another chance ?" I look at him switching between eyes.

"Yes, I forgive you. You have another chance."
I didn't realize how close I was to his face by now, but I leaned in and slowly but surely I would have reached his lips. But I watched as he shifted his head to a different direction, he just looked at me.

I felt embarrassed,I leaned back and looked to the other side of the room. That was stupid of me,I'm so stupid.

He took my hand and sighed "Aaliyah-"

"No I'm sorry,I shouldn't have did that." I didn't look at him.

He sighed "it's not the right time."

"I thought you said you were giving me another chance" I frowned

"I am,but your not ready." His eyes Pierced mine.

"What do you mean?" I was confused

"Aaliyah you have not experienced the full love to God,don't think you can give that back to me if you don't have his." He eyes me

"I see." I look ahead of me."well I should get going now." I got up and he pulls me back into a hug

"I'll be praying for you Aaliyah" he said suddenly

I smiled and hug him back"thank you " I got up got my stuff ready and left saying my goodbyes,I felt bad because he was here alone but I had work.
