Bathroom Floor

I woke up on the couch.
An ice pack was on my ankle and a hot water bottle was placed beside me.
What time was it??
I pulled out my phone which was in my short pocket.
4 am. I sat up and looked around. The blind was closed and the living room was dark. I could see a light on around the corner. I picked up a crutch from the floor and limped into the hallway. Liv's door was ajar and there was a electronic glow coming from inside. I have the door a little knock and then gentle pushed it open.

"G? You ok?" She sat up immediately at the sight of me.

"Uhm yeah I'm fine," I said. "Can I...do you mind if I sit down for a minute?"

"Yeah sure, you sure you're ok? You fell asleep earlier."

"Yeah I was just exhausted. Sorry."

"Don't be" she flipped her long dark hair over so it was all behind her shoulders. "You can lie down if you want, I'd love a cuddle"

She was so gentle and mesmerising. I'd never felt these things for someone before. I'd had crushes but none of them intense. This was different. I just wanted to kiss her. But I restrained myself as much as possible. She was just a friend. A really kind friend who sometimes kissed me and I sometimes kissed her.

"Yeah," I said as I scooted myself up from the bottom of the bed to the pillow and placed my head down. She put her arms around me and we just lay there. She smelled so nice, her soft hair rubbing against my neck occasionally. She ran her fingers through my hair as well. I turned to face her.

"You look so pretty." I said. "So pretty."

The next thing I knew her lips were pressed against mine. I moved my tongue and pressed it against my lips, she immediately allowed me entrance and we made out. It was gentle. It was such a fragile, gentle feeling. I fell asleep with my head on her chest.

We awoke to her alarm going off at 9.00.
I had to get myself to the gym. My stomach felt worst than yesterday. Liv noticed something was wrong when she went to make breakfast and saw me bent over clutching my lower stomach.

"You ok?" She walked over and put her hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine. Sorry" I took a deep breath and recomposed myself.
I got dressed and met her in the car. She was dressed in low rise jeans and a beige jumper. She had silver hoops in her ears and her big brown eyes were made even bigger by the mascara she was wearing. She was going to drop me off and then go to her lecture.

"You sure you're ok?" She asked as I sat with my knees against my chest in the passenger seat.

"Yeah I'm fine it's just cramps."

She nodded. I stretched myself out before opening the door and grabbing my crutch that had fallen slightly between the seat. As I got ready to get out she leaned in and gently out her hands either side of my face. She kissed me, but only for a few seconds because we could hear the sounds of the girls arriving and greeting each other. I squeezed her hand and wished her good luck with her lecture before getting out and hobbling into the gym.

"Who was that?" Kyra asked, sitting herself down beside me. I was rolling out my calves.

"Who?" I looked up at her, a cheeky grin was painted across her face.

"The girl in the car?"

"Oh...Liv." I said. I had thought about what I'd say if anyone ever asked about her. She was a very good friend.

"Ooo" Kyra said. She raised her eyebrows up and down before walking off to cause mischief else where. I put in my earphones and got to work. It was the same routine as every day. But my boot was allowed to come off when I was doing the exercises which was a new milestone. At 9.30 I went into the canteen for breakfast. I grabbed a small bowl of porridge and raspberries. I sat down with Kyra and Alessia and discussed the apartment. I told them I would move in tomorrow as planned. Part of me wanted to stay with Liv but I know that's not a long term solution.
