Good To Be Home

Lover

I woke up and looked around, confused. I looked to my right and saw my girlfriend, making me even more confused.

'Oh- oh my god, there is no way I fell asleep here. No way, I wouldn't do that'.

Rep shifted beside me and yawned.

'Morning Love'.

'How did this happen? Why am I in your bed and how the hell did I fall asleep here!'

'I don't know but it was REALLY nice baby'.

'Shut up, this is a disaster'.

'No, it's not, no one even noticed'.

I groaned and tried to run my fingers through my knotty hair. My phone was flashing with missed calls and messages from last night.

'Fuck'.

I stood up and brushed myself down.

'Well, the good news is you can take me home now'.

'I guess... that's embarrassing'.

'Relax, it's fine! Now let's go home'.

'Alright'.

I kissed Rep and then walked to the front desk.  After a quick chat with the receptionist, I got the all-clear from Rep's doctor and followed him back to her room.  When we walked in, she was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, drumming on her leg impatiently.

'Yes! Can we go now?' She asked hopefully.

'Patience, my love' I picked up my handbag and put it over my shoulder.

'Your stomach has been healing remarkably fast and the stitches have almost fully dissolved' the doctor announced. 'I'm going to give you some pills if you have any trouble with pain at home, but you should be good to go!'

'Okay, thanks so much' I replied, smiling. Rep thanked him too.

'You're very welcome, as long as you don't break the new skin and no real exercise for a few weeks'.

Rep nodded and yawned. The doctor walked out of the room and I turned to Rep.

'Do you wanna get changed? I brought you some clothes'.

'Oh my god yes please, anything to get out of this fucking itchy hospital thing'.

I giggled. 'Here, I brought your hoodie and pants' I chucked the clothes at her.

'In here?'

'Yeah, I mean there's a curtain thingy, it's easier'.

'Sure'.

'Do you want some help?'

'No, I'm fine'.

'You goose, I'm helping you anyway'.

I yanked the thin blue curtain in front of the window and gently helped Rep get changed.

'Oh, honey this HAIR, it's a tad dirty' I grimaced.

'It's not like I've been able to wash it, babe'.

'I guess. Let's just go home'.

'Yes. Let's'.

I reached up and kissed her slightly disgruntled face.

'I love you. Thank you for not dying'.

'It's going to take more than that to kill me, I'm not going anywhere'. She kissed me back and wrapped an arm around my waist.
