Wicked Souls

95

It was a week later.

He was standing at his office desk, going over some paperwork at the moment as nothing at work was really too much for him. He was trying to keep himself busy and occupied with his work as much as possible, but he did seem a bit more stressed than usual as he worked on processing some paperwork.

After a few minutes of working on his computer, he then got a ping from one of his e-mails that a patient had just left a message requesting an urgent appointment. He then immediately checked the e-mail and after he saw the urgent request from the patient, he let out a heavy sigh as he sat back in his seat and he just sat there for a few minutes. he was definitely a bit more stressed than usual now.

"...Fine, guess I have to make an urgent appointment." He said quietly to himself as he moved his mouse back to the e-mail and sent a quick response saying that he could see the patient today at 11 am. He then stood up from his seat and looked at his watch quickly to see what time it was. it was about 9:30 right now... so he had about an hour and a half until that appointment.

He then let out another sigh before standing up and moving out of his office, going back to take a small walk around the hospital. He decided to do a quick walk around to stretch his legs and see if anything was going on with other patients, or just anything in general at the hospital.

For the most part, he didn't see too much... except for some patients coming in and going out after recovering... he didn't really see anything too bad or concerning. He still had about an hour left until he had to see the patient he was requested for. So he just continued to wander around for a little while more before he decided to just wait in one of the lounges for his appointment.

He sat down in one of the nice comfortable couches that were in the lounge. He would sit there for a while, leaning back and relaxing. There weren't too many people there at the moment so it was quite peaceful and quiet. He decided to just wait here for a while until his appointment.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, the clock then moved to 10:00 am so he had about another 40 minutes left before the appointment... he decided to just relax for the next few minutes as he sat back comfortably on the seat. He was still a bit stressed from his appointment but the lounge was definitely calming and relaxing. It felt like he was back in a relaxing office environment.

Finally, his watch sounded off with a little buzz, it was now 10:40 so he had about 10 more minutes before his appointment. He could hear somebody come into the lounge as well so he moved back to a more proper seating position.

He had been sitting up in the lounge chair, with his legs spread out and his arm on the chair's armrest. He then placed his other leg on the chair as he sat up properly again and crossed his legs. He let out a breath as he saw his patient enter the lounge.

Hours later, he came home and I was asleep on the couch.

He eventually made it back home and he gently opened the door and tiptoed over to the couch I was sleeping on. He then sat down and gently moved me so that I was leaning on him and cuddling against him. He then laid down afterwards wrapped his arms around my body and started to run his fingers through my hair.

He was gently rubbing his fingers all through my hair and he felt me start to wake up... he then started to whisper to me softly as he was rubbing my hair.

I muttered something as I was starting to stir awake. My face nuzzled into his neck.

He smirked a bit as he felt I stir awake and he heard me mumble. He then moved his fingers more through my hair and then began to move them down to my face as he gently rubbed my cheeks while continuing to whisper.

"Shhh... shhh... go back to sleep. It's just me, Darling." He would rub the back of my head as he spoke to me and then he would gently pull me closer and hold me against his body a bit more.

"We have time, you don't need to get up right now... you can rest here for as long as you want... I'm going to hold you here for a while to let you sleep a bit more, okay?"

I nodded slowly as I mumbled. "What time is it?"

"It's midnight..." He said back quietly and he would then move his hands up and down my body a bit, gently massaging my neck and shoulders as he kept whispering.

"I slept for so long..." I mumbled tiredly.

"Yes, you did darling... but you needed the rest. You've been pretty stressed today.." He kissed the top of my head and then went back to rubbing my body a bit... he was still a bit stressed but he decided to push those feelings aside.

"Now that you're awake, would you like me to get you anything? Like a drink or some food?..." He asked back as he continued to rub my body gently. He was still rubbing my back and holding me close to him.

"Victoria sponge cake and strawberry milk..." I kept mumbling quietly.

"Got it... just wait a minute..." He would then gently let me go and he moved off the couch, standing back up. He would then move to the kitchen and begin to prepare the Victoria sponge cake that I liked and the strawberry milk that I requested.

I yawned as I sat up on the couch and cuddled into the blanket.

He then came back out of the kitchen with the strawberry milk and the Victoria sponge cake that I requested and he walked over to me, gently sat down and handed me both of them.

"Here you go darling, I got them for you."

"Thank you..." I gently kissed him and took the plate and glass out of his hand.
