Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 35

FLOR.

"Tú siempre eres la flor más hermosa de este jardín."
(You're always the most beautiful flower in this garden)

"Te extrañe mucho abuelita."
(I missed you very much abuelita)

"¿Que te trae por aquí?"
(What brings you here?)

"No lo se, recuerdo haber llegado a mi florería y de ahí nada."
(I don't know, I remember arriving to my floral shop and then nothing)

"Que extraño, pero disfrutemos este tiempo juntas. Cuéntame de tu vida."
(How strange, but let's enjoy this time together. Tell me about your life.)

"Encontré al hombre perfecto y estamos comprometidos."
(I found the perfect man and we're engage.)

"Oh wow Flor, me da muchísimo gusto, y que es eso de que tienes una florería?"
(Oh wow Flor, I'm so glad, what's that of you having a floral shop?)

"Oh... bueno eso es gracias a ti.."
(Oh... well, that's thanks to you...)

CHRIS.

It's been a few hours probably reaching 6 since I arrive, Flor has been out for over 11 hours. Is currently midnight and even though I'm exhausted I can't sleep.

I sent everyone home, Susana is still recovering from her last chemotherapy session, Laurel had just come home from her vacations, Robert came with me from a work trip, besides no one could do anything staying here. 

I'm holding Flor's hand like my life depends on it, she's my safe place and even when she's not awake, her presence keeps me calm.

"Goodnight, excuse me honey." I hear in a deep accent; I lift my head to see a nurse.

"Hi, what's going on?"

"I need to check her vitals and didn't want to scare you." I nod and watch her take the vitals and writing them down. "Are you okay?" I nod "why don't you get some sleep? I'll wake you up if something changes." I shake my head and she nods before going back to their station.

I turn to look at Flor again "I know you must have a very good reason for not waking up yet, but you're scaring me baby. I need to see your beautiful eyes." I let my head rest on her hand again and before I know it, I'm falling asleep.

I know I'm dreaming, and I'm not sure how. One minute I couldn't make myself fall asleep and the second I'm dreaming.

I wake up and it's morning, I reach for my phone and see it's almost 8 am, I stretch a little and stand up to go to the restroom when I'm halfway there I see that on top of her chart is laying a single white daisy.

I chuckle shaking my head "Abuelita, you have some strong superpowers."

I do my business, wash my hands and face to freshen up a bit, before sitting next to her again, I kiss her hand "good morning baby."

I disconnect my phone from the charger and text the group chat.

*GROUP CHAT*

No updates, who's coming today?

Susana:
We're taking turns in case you need something someone's always there. I'll arrive in half an hour.

Could you bring me some coffee?
And my bag?

RDJ:
I have your bag dorito, I'll bring it at 3, tell me your lunch order so I can bring it as well.

Anything will be okay, I'm sure there's a cafeteria in here anyways.
