Was this his way of telling me we all still have our jobs? Was he trying to confuse me? Ouch. All this rapid thinking begins to hurt my head. I decide to lay back and sleep.
"Ashton? You awake?" I hear a bubbly, almost dream like voice say. My eyes flutter open and I see Abby standing next to my bed.
"Now I am." I whisper as I roll my head towards her.
"Good!"
"What's up?"
"I hear you want to quit... And that you kissed Tim."
"Abby. I'm so sorry about that."
"Don't be. If I were under your circumstances I probably would've kissed Jimmy or Tony."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So... Are you... Telling me to keep my job?"
"Finally caught on, huh?" She jokes as she turns and begins towards the door.
"Abby?" She stops and looks at me, "Thank you... For everything." She smiles.
"Anything for a friend." She turns this time actually leaving. I sit in my hospital bed knowing what I had to do. Talk to Gibbs. But I had to wait for him to come as I'm still not allowed to stand, let alone walk.
Once again a voice snaps me out of my sleep. This time of Jimmy. "Hey sweetie. How you feeling?" he asks softly as he sits on the side of my bed.
"I've been better... My head hurts... So do my nose and lip." I say.
"I think I can help with that lip pain." He smiles as he gently leans over letting his lips touch against mine. His lips are so warm, "Did that help?"
"Very much." I smile.
"Good... So on a different note... You aren't quitting... Are you?"
"Not anymore... Abby talked me out of it."
"That's great!"
"Yep!"
"So what did the doctor say about you going home?"
"Hopefully tomorrow afternoon... I did just have a major problem with my brain you know." I laugh.
"I know... I just want you back at work! It's been a week."
