Free Falling

Morning and doctors

Taylor woke up and rolled over with a groan. The light was escaping in through her blinds causing her to roll away from it. As soon as she turned her body she let out a loud gasp. The pain radiating down her back had gotten worse over night. Adam immediately jolted awake as soon as Taylor stirred. " Babe, you okay?" He asked worriedly. " Uh yeah I think so, I'm just really sore." was Taylor's foggy response. Adam reached over to her and held her up from around her back and underneath her arms while he simultaneously grabbed the pillows from the foot of the bed so that he could prop her up. He helped her to sit up and lean against the white pillows. Her face immediately crumpled in pain. "Alright love, where does it hurt the most? You certainly took a hard fall last night."
Taylor was hesitant to show Adam, she knew that she bruised badly, deep and expansive. She also didn't want him to worry about her, they had only been officially going out for a few days and a hurt girlfriend was a lot to take on, especially when you haven't been together for a while.
Adam could see the worry spread across her face, the hesitation was apparent. "Love don't worry, I just want to take care of you and make sure that your not seriously hurt." "I just don't want to overwhelm you or well, scare you away, or something." Mumbled Taylor. "Babe, I told you for me this is simple, I like you a lot, one day I will probably love you, so I'm here whenever you need me, no matter what, okay?" Taylor turned red at his words, love her? She just studied his face for a moment, trying to asses the truthfulness of his statement. Finally she shifted so that her back was facing him, she slowly lifted up her shirt to exposed her back to him.
" Oh Taylor, love." The bruising was expansive, spreading from her middle back all the way down to the top of her underwear. Splotchy and a deep blue. She let out a small sigh. " It's not as bad as it looks, I bruise so easily and deeply. The cats leave bruises sometimes when the jump off of me." Mumbled Taylor.
" Still love, I want to get your back checked out, just to make me feel better." The concern was apparent in his voice. Taylor knew that nothing was seriously wrong, but she was going to humor him to ease his concern. It was sweet that he was so concerned. Her past boyfriends would have viewed this as a nuisance and just something that needed to be taken care of and not by them. She kind of liked it, if she was honest with herself.
"Alright, but first breakfast." She agreed with a small smile. She tried to stand up and swing her legs over the side of the bed, but the pain got the best of her and she leaned back with a groan. " Taylor just stay here babe,
I'll take care of breakfast. Bacon and eggs sound good?" "Yeah that sounds great actually. Adam, thanks for this. I mean it, it means a lot to me that you are willing to stay and help me. I mean we were just going out for the second time and now you are here in my house taking care of me. I just want you to know that you aren't obligated to stay and do this." Said Taylor. " babe there is no place I would rather be then here beside you, helping you. You are so special and already so important to me and right now you are my number one priority. So don't feel guilty, that's the last think I want you to feel. Alright? Just let me help you, okay? I care about you deeply and you couldn't make me leave you here alone. I'm going downstairs and I'm gonna make you some breakfast, I'll bring it up here for you and we can eat in bed. Then I'm going to call the doctor and try to get you an appointment today." He smiled at her during his little speech making her blush. But she also felt loved and comforted which went a long way. " Alright, that sounds good. And Adam?" "Yes love?" He replied. " You mean a lot to me to, and I'm glad your here, okay?" He just smiled at her and leaned over and pressed a kiss to her lips. She could feel him smile into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his hair. " breakfast, now" he mumbled into her lips, " before I get to distracted" he said with a laugh and mischievous grin. Taylor just let out a small laugh and nodded her head at him. He turned around and walked out of the room, turning around to give her one last small smile before he made his way downstairs into her kitchen.
About half an hour later Taylor could hear Adams footsteps making their way up the stairs. He appeared in he doorway with a tray and two plates piled high with food. " Oh Adam, I can't eat all of that!" She exclaimed. "Just try babe, okay, it will be good for you." She sighed and smiled and shook her head at him. "I guess I'll try, just for you." Adam shook his head at her and replied " thanks love" with a smile on his lips. Adam climbed into bed next to Taylor and propped the tray up on the comforter between them. They silently ate, but it was a comfortable silence. When they both were finished Adam grabbed the tray and placed it at the foot of the bed. Taylor shifted over to be closer to him and leaned her head on his shoulder and snuggled up to him. He leaned his head lightly on top of hers and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He spoke into her hair, "I'm gonna call the doctor now, okay love?" " mmhm" she mumbled into his shoulder. After the first few rings a nurse from the local hospital answered. " Hi my name is Adam Wiles and I need to make an appointment for my girl friend, Taylor, she fell last night in the bathroom and has some pretty extensive bruising on her back and is in a fair amount of pain." Taylor blushed and snuggled even closer to Adam, she liked hearing him call her his girlfriend. However she did let out a light groan at the discomfort in her back when she shifted. The nurse pulled up that days schedule and offered Adam a few times during the day when an orthopedic doctor could see her. The first time available was at 11:30 and it was 10:00 now. That's the one Adam agreed to and he handed the phone over to taylor so she could give her her information, like her insurance policy and such. By the time Taylor hung up the phone it was 10:10 and they needed to get ready to go.
Adam looked at Taylor for a few seconds before speaking up " love I think that your going to need some help getting ready, okay? Please don't be afraid or embarrassed to let me help you, okay? That's what I'm here for. I hate to break it to you but I got a pretty full view last night so just let me help you get ready, okay love?" " what!" She gasped, " I thought I covered myself with the towel. Adam cleared his throat " well you did, its just it was kinda hard for me not to notice" a blush was creeping up his neck as be explained this to Taylor. "Oh well." She sighed. " you would have seen it eventually" she replied with a teasing grin on her face. "Oh is that right, miss taylor." Replied Adam cheekily. "Mmhm" she mumbled back at him as a response, she really wasn't sure what to say, she usually wasn't like this with her boyfriends.
Adam smiled at her and suggested that he help her rinse off in the shower. After a little bit of coercing Taylor agreed. Adam lifted her up bridal style like he did the night before and walked into her bathroom with her. He opened the door to the expansive walk in shower and gently set her down on tiled bench. He slowly reached down to the hem of her shirt, asking her with his eyes if it was alright. She just nodded and let him undress her. Adam slowly lifted the shirt over her head, careful not to put much strain on her back. Slowly her breasts were revealed and a deep blush crept up her neck. Adam just leaned down to place a light kiss on her lips and mumbled to her, "your beautiful, alright love. Don't be embarrassed." She just nodded shyly at him and whispered "can you just leave my underwear on please babe?" "Of course taylor, whatever makes you comfortable" was Adams reply. She just smiled at him and sighed as he turned around. Without Taylor realizing what he was doing Adam stripped down to nothing but his briefs. Without turning around to face her he turned on the water and adjusted the temperatures. He grabbed the body wash from the shelves in the shower and then turned around to face Taylor. She let out a small gasp, it was evident that he wanted her. Adam let out an embarrassed laugh and said "sorry I can't really control it" Taylor just smiled, she was also a little embarrassed and was generally shy about these things. Adam grabbed a wash cloth and poured out a drop of body wash onto it. He slowly ran it up and down Taylor's back and up and over her shoulder. He made his way down and over her breasts causing taylor to let out a small moan. Adam just smiled at her and continued, kneeling down to wash her legs and then her feet. He rinsed out the wash cloth and then rinsed taylor off, removing all of the soap. He turned the water off and grabbed two towels from the stack next to the shower. He helped taylor stand up, she stumbled a little and ended up with her chest pressed up against his. This time he couldn't control himself, he leaned in and kissed her, gently at first, then harder. She leaned into the kiss more and more, wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him deeper into the kiss. His smooth hands ran up and down her sides, careful to avoid her back. He ran his tongue along her lower lip, asking for entrance. She happily complied and let him in. Moaning the slightest bit at the new and coveted sensation. Finally he pulled back, causing her to sigh. She wanted more, and she wanted it then. Adam could tell that she was disappointed "later love, I just want to make sure that your back is ok, and I don't want to be late." " I know." She replied the disappointment and desire evident in her voice. Adam just smiled at her and grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her first, then wrapped one around himself.
He helped her back out to the bed and grabbed the pair of shorts and a shirt that she had instructed him to. He helped her pull her clothes on and then put his own on from the night before. He grabbed her purse from the bedside table at her request then scooped her up bridal style for the second time that morning. He carried her out to the car and helped her into the passenger side. After making sure that she was comfortable and situated he climbed into the drivers side and started the car. After he pulled out onto the main road he reached over and grabbed Taylor's hand, tracing comforting circles into her palm. Soon they arrived at the doctors office and Adam carefully helped Taylor inside. They approached the front desk and checked her in. Before they could even sit down a nurse came out and called Taylor's name. They slowly made their way over to the nurse, Adam carefully supporting taylor. Once they were lead into her room the doctor appeared. He examined Taylor's back carefully and then ordered some x rays before any further examination. Before he left he turned toward Taylor and asked "as a precaution for the x ray is there any chance that you could be pregnant?" " none" replied Taylor. "Are you sure?" Inquired the doctor, "protection isn't always a hundred precent accurate" "oh I'm sure" replied Taylor, glancing at Adam.
After her x ray the doctor came back in. He studied it for a moment before asking her to lay on her side with her back facing him. Adam helped taylor to lay down and instead of backing away from her he knelt down near her head and pressed a light kiss onto her forehead. The doctor began pushing on her back, causing Taylor to cry out in pain. Adam immediately grabbed onto her hand and began running circles on her palm. The doctor continued and tears began to fall from Taylor's eyes. Adam just leaned into her, grabbing her hand more tightly. He began whispering comforting things into her ear, trying to make her feel better. Soon the doctor was done. He apologized for the exam. He explained that taylor just had deep tissue and bone bruising. Not uncommon after a hard fall. She just needed to take it easy for a few days, he prescribed some light pain killers and sent them on their way home. Once they returned back to Taylor's house Adam carried her back up to her bed. He laid her down and pulled the covers over her, the pain killers that had been prescribed to her were making her tired and foggy. Adam snuggled her in and then turned around to go back down stairs, before he could make it out of the room Taylor's foggy voice whispered "stay". And Adam laid
down next to her, holding her tightly in his arms. "Forever" he whispered into her ear. "Forever and always"
