Irene Imagines (gxg)

you slip in the shower

"Hey, baby. How was your day?" Irene asked as you walked into the bedroom.

She had been scrolling through her phone and occasionally sending messages in bubble but set her phone down to pay attention to you.

The second your eyes met, she saw how exhausted you looked.

It should come as no surprise since you didn't sleep well last night but you said you'd be fine and insisted on going to work as planned instead of using some of your paid time off to get some rest.

"I'm so tired." You sighed. "I barely made it through the day."

"I'm sorry." She said. "Would you like to have an early night? I could order some food and we could cuddle until you fall asleep."

"That sounds wonderful. But I want to shower first."

"Okay. Do you want me to order some food while you're in there?"

"I'd appreciate that. I won't be long." You replied as you grabbed a pair of clean matching pajamas.

"Don't worry about it. You just relax for a while. I'll hold off for a few minutes so you don't feel rushed. Go get under the warm water, let it run over your body, and just let the weight of the world lift from your shoulders." Irene said with a soft smile.

It sounded amazing and you couldn't wait another minute to relax for a bit.

Going into the bathroom, you kept the door open as you changed out of your clothes and turned on the water.

After getting it to the perfect temperature, you got under the water and let it run all over your body.

It was so soothing and warm and it was as if all of your worries rolled away with every bead of water that rolled down your skin.

This was your cure for a bad day - a relaxing shower, cuddles with Irene, and some good food before you fall asleep.

It was just what you needed and was the perfect start to making your bad day a little easier.

Reaching for your shampoo, you poured some into your hand and then ran it through your hair.

After it was all rinsed out, you did the same with conditioner.

You weren't sure how much time had passed but the water was so calming that you didn't even care.

You held off on grabbing your loofah and pouring the delicious scented body wash on it just to have a few more minutes to calm down.

But as you turned around to let the water run across your back for a few moments, you slipped.

There was a squeaking sound as your foot slipped against the shower floor and before you knew it, you were on the floor.

As you slipped, you landed right on your wrist and felt the pain instantly sink in.

You did the only thing you could think of - call out for your girlfriend.

"Irene! Irene, help!"

She jumped up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom when you called out for her.

"Baby? What's the matter?" She asked as she pulled the shower curtain back.

"I slipped." You said as she grabbed a towel from the rack. "I hurt my wrist."

"Okay, baby. You're alright." She said as she carefully and gently helped you up. "I've got you."

Wrapping the towel around you, she looked at your wrist to see that it was bruised and swollen already.

"I think it's broken." She said as she looked at you.

Gently tucking a lock of hair behind your ear, she looked you over.

"Are you hurting anywhere else?"

"Just my knee. But I don't think it's as serious as my wrist."

"Okay. Let me help you get your pajamas on and then we'll go to the hospital."

It wasn't an easy process with your broken wrist and sore knee but you were able to get your pajamas on with Irene's help.

After, she helped you to the car and drove to the hospital.

That's where you got the confirmation that your wrist was definitely broken and your knee wasn't badly injured, just a few bruises and some slight pain.

Thankfully, those were your only injuries.

It could've been much worse and you and Irene were so relieved that it wasn't.

You were given a cast and some pain relief as well as some instructions on how to care for your wrist until it healed, which could take up to eight weeks at the most.

It wasn't going to be easy or fun but Irene promised she'd care for you and how could you not look forward to that?

"Are you cozy?" Irene asked as she tucked you in. "I didn't hurt your wrist at all by covering you up, right?"

"Not at all and I'm very cozy."

"Good." She smiled as she laid down beside you. "I'm sorry you're hurting. Make sure you let me know if you need anything at all."

"Irene, it's just a broken wrist and a sore knee. I can still do a little on my own."

"You could but why would you want to when you have an excuse for your girlfriend to take care of you?"

"Good point." You giggled. "I'll let you know. But I'm so exhausted now."

"Get some rest. I contacted your workplace and told them you won't be in for a bit. At least not for a few days. You need to rest a little."

You couldn't even argue with her, you were too exhausted and needed the break, honestly.

You had a good excuse, why not use it to rest some?

"I love you."

"I love you too." She said and kissed your cheek. "Get some sleep. I'm right here if you need me."
