Love Therapy

Chapter 6

Kylie walks in as Malia holds the door open for her. She sets down her crutches as she sits on the couch. Kylie sighs as she lifts her leg on the couch. Malia goes and grabs them both a bottle of water. She sets it down on the table and lifts Kylie's leg before placing it back down on her lap. "So, did you really want to practice those stretches?" Malia asks her. Kylie nods. "If that's ok with you?" Malia feels her heart quicken.

"Yeah, sure. Where did you wanna....?" Malia looks around. "Um, probably the floor." Kylie nods to the center of her living room. "Right." Kylie walks over with her crutches and sits on the couch. She sets her crutches aside and slowly slides down onto the floor. "Ok." She lays down on her back. Malia feels her heart racing as she kneels down and grabs her leg. She slowly bends it, the way that the PT did earlier. "Is this ok?" She asks. Kylie nods. "It's fine." She takes a deep breath before she straightens Kylie's leg. She moves it back and leans against it.

Kylie stares at her as she pushes it further. "You can keep going, it doesn't hurt. It's actually helping, believe it or not." Kylie admits as she smiles. "You sure?" Malia asks her. "You saw how far the PT pushed it, i can take it, Malia." Kylie insists. Oh I'm sure you can take it.... Malia thoughts. "Ok...." She pushes further until their centers are close and their foreheads touch. "You ok?" Malia whispered. Kylie nods. "I'm perfect." She whispered. "I kinda wish i was as flexible as you." Kylie smiles. "Trust me, you don't." Malia laughs. "Malia?" Kylie whispered. "Yeah?" "You only have to hold it for a minute." Malia realizes that they've been in this position for about five minutes now.

"Sorry." She moves away. Kylie smiles. "It's ok. I'm actually kinda tired, is it ok if i just take a nap?" Malia nods. "Yeah. Of course." Kylie grabs her crutches and heads to the bedroom. Malia grabs her medicine and a glass of water. She walks in and finds Kylie trying to get comfortable. "Need anything? Another pillow? Extra blanket?" Kylie sighs. "I need you." Malia stares at her with wide eyes. "Me?" Kylie nods. "Can we cuddle? At least until i fall asleep and then you go." Malia nods. "Sure." She lays in bed before Kylie lays her head on her chest. "Thank you." She whispered. "For?" Malia asks. "Just always being there for me. And helping me through this." Kylie closes her eyes. "Of course, Kylie-boo." Malia smiles. "Goodnight Malia-baby." Kylie whispered. "Goodnight Kylie-boo." Kylie falls asleep on her as Malia lays in bed. She's been feeling differently lately. She figured it was just after not seeing and spending time with Kylie for so long but now she's not sure that's it.

Ever since her accident, and then during PT....was she falling for Kylie? No, she can't be. Can she? This is Kylie. Her Ky- oh yeah, she was. Definitely.
