It was around 10am when I checked out of the hospital. I smoothed my hands over my clothes, it was something I always did to clear my mind when I started to feel overwhelmed. A date. He really asked me on a date, and I agreed. I shook my head at the thought as I stared out the window. It had been a little sunny outside which was unusual since it was winter.

"You look so peaceful like your day dreaming about some really good," he paused taking a breath,"dick."

"Yeah," I said absentmindedly before his words registered in my head,"Wait no, what the hell Jess? I swear you think about dick so much your brain is probably in the shape of one."

"OOH!!! That means I'm even more unique now, maybe that means I'll grow super powers," he said with childlike aw.

I rolled my eyes at him. How is an adult so dirty minded yet so childish? Maybe he is special.

"What?" he asked pointedly.

"Huh?" I replied confused.

"What snarky remark did you just make in your head?"

"How did you....."

"You went from rolling your eyes to smirking and I haven't said anything," he pointed out.

"Oh Jess, you know me so well," I told him putting my head against my forehead dramatically.

"And you call me a drama queen."He muttered more to himself than to me.

"Anyway," I said rolling my eyes for the second time this hour,"let's go. Hospitals give me the creeps, they're so...sad."

"They're not that bad. Sure there's death and tragedy but this is also where life is brought into the world and where miracles happen, like you waking up," He told me with a soft smile.

"Look Jess I..."I started not really knowing how to continue.

"I know. You love me in a brother/best friend kind of way not as a lover. It's okay, I knew that when you dated Matteo....before you lost your memory. The love you feel towards me is just...different," he said quietly while shrugging as if he didn't care. I knew Jess. I knew he cared, and I knew he was hurting.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Let's go so you can sleep before you get ready for your date," Jess wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. It's always been amazing to me, he can go from hurting to happy so quickly. I just smiled at him, that's just who he was I guess.

We walked out of the hospital and went into the parking lot where Jess led me to a new silver 2015 BMW 3 Series. I hurriedly got inside once he unlocked the doors and breathed in the new car smell...hmmmm fresh.

"Your such a weirdo."

"You got a new car. When?" I asked confused, ignoring his question.

"My mom surprised me with it because you know how she is. She was stressed about your hospitalization and her version of retail therapy is buying me new cars," he smirked, shaking his head.

"True," I replied while adjusting the way I was sitting so that I could see the whole interior. My head started to spin for a second. I put a hand to my head in an attempt to right my vision.

"Hey Nate are you okay?" Jess asked worriedly, as he got into the driver seat and started the car.

"Yeah I'm fine just a little overwhelmed with excitement," I said dryly, even though it was meant to sound excited.

"The dryness in which you just said that makes you sound sarcastic," he stated as we headed home.

"Oh really mate, I never noticed," I gave him my best British accent.
