College Girl

Chapter 41

Liberty
"I was petty for ignoring you for so long," I say," Maybe this wouldn't have happened if..."

"It's fine. I'm safe now." He replies.

He managed to sit up a couple minutes ago. I take a seat on the edge of his bed next to him.

"I'm sorry." I finally say,"I'm sorry for not understanding in the beginning."

"There's no need for apologizing. They're being overused. Let's just move past this. Please." He says while taking my hand into his.

"Tell me about this Jeremiah dude who tried to take my place in your heart." He says with a smirk.

I chuckle and tell him all about Jeremiah and our weird relationship. The nurse brings his dinner in as I talk.

"Here's your dinner, Mr. Neverson. Eat up." She says before leaving.

Trey reaches for the spoon to eat, but I take it out of his hand. He gives me an alarmed look.

"Girl, I need this food. Stop playing." He says seriously.

"I'm gonna feed you, you big baby." I say.

I put spoon up some of the food and bring it to his mouth. He opens and accepts the food graciously.

"Remember how you used to cook for me?" He says bringing back the memories of when we co-habitated.

"Mmhhm. You miss that?" I ask softly.

"Of course, baby. This hospital food is gross to be honest." He says making a face.

I laugh and put the spoon down.

"I'll order us some food then, and when you go home, I promise I'll cook you a nice meal just for you." I say.

His eyes brighten in happiness. I order in some Jamaican and Chinese food for us to eat. This will definitely help get his weight back up. As we eat, Trey and I make stupid jokes that cause us to both laugh hysterically.

"You're so stupid! I can't stand you." I say while choking back a laugh.

He lies back on his bed cracking up. This dude swears he's funny.

"Eat, boy." I command.

"Yes, mama Liberty." He says while picking up his spoon.

I scoff and roll my eyes. An awkward silence falls between us out of no where. He clears his throat to get my attention again. I turn my head and raise an eyebrow.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"Yes. I want a kiss and you ain't give me one."

"Boy, bye." I say with a attitude,"You ain't earn these lips."

"Yes I did. Stop playing." He says.

I wanna kiss him so bad. I lean over and peck his waiting lips.

"You taste like Chinese food." I say trying to find something wrong with the kiss.

"You taste the same." He says,"I don't care."

He leans forward and closes the gap between us with another kiss. This one more intense and full of want. A tear falls out of my eye as he deepens the kiss as our tongues clash. He breaks the kiss so we can both catch our breaths.

"Why you crying?" He asks while wiping the tear away with his thumb.

"I've never felt like this about someone before." I admit.

"You feel what I feel?" He asks while looking into my eyes with so much intensity.

I nod. This thing called love. We finish our food a few minutes later in silence that's not so awkward. Trey moves over a bit on his small bed.

"Sleep here. Not on the couch." He says,"I'll keep you warm."

He winks and bites his lip. I chuckle. I kick off my shoes and get in bed next to him. He immediately encloses his arms around me and kisses my neck and cheek.

"I missed this." He mumbles into my neck while inhaling my scent," You smell so good."

I squeal at the feeling. It's sending tingly feelings all over my body.

"I missed you." I say.

"Well, I love you." He says bluntly.

My heart skips a beat and I smile.

"I love you more."

"Let's not fight about this." He says with a chuckle.

He hums a couple songs as we watch "A Different World" and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" on the TV.

"I'm tired, Trey." I say after three hours of TV time.

It's around 2am.

"Then go to sleep. I can't go no where, baby." He says.

True. I close my eyes and Trey grips me a little tighter. I fall asleep to the sounds of his machines beeping and his even breathing.
