 “Drew.  Drew!  I’m fine.  Is this really necessary?”  I asked exasperated.  I was currently sitting up in bed with Drew fussing over me because the doctor told me I needed bed rest.

                “Yes, this is necessary.  Now lay down.”  He ordered with authority. 

                “Yes sir.”  I fake saluted.  I heard a low growl come from deep in his throat.  “Jesus, Drew.  I’m ok, would you stop babying me?”  This was really getting on my nerves. 

                “Do you know how close to death you came?  I’m not going to lose you, now lay down.”  He said pushing on my shoulders.

                “Fine, whatever.”  Why does he insist on doing this to me? 

                “Do you need anything?”  All traces of his annoyance were gone.

                “No.”  He nodded and made his way to my door.  “I’m sorry.”  I said feeling horrible about the way I’ve been acting.

                “Don’t be sorry.  Just stay in bed, would you?”  He asked desperately. 

                “Do I have to stay in here for dinner?”  I asked.

                “I will let you know.”  He said with a smile as he left.

                Hours later, after I surfed the web, a knock sounded.  “Come in.”  I yelled.

                “Ready for dinner?”  Drew asked as he walked in.

                “Yep.”  I looked around for the plate in his hand, but there was none.  “Where is it?” 

                “I’m taking you to dinner.  Justin is here by the way, and there’s someone else.”  He said with a huge smile.

                “Did he bring a hot date?”  I asked with a smirk.

                “Not exactly.  Wrap your arms around me.”  I did what he said as he picked me up bridal style, being totally careful not to hurt my stomach.  “Are you ok?”  He asked not moving at all.

                There was a dull ache, but it was nothing too bad.  “I’m ok.  Let’s eat because I’m starving.”  I held onto him a little tighter as we made our way down the stairs and towards the dining room.

                I was staring into Drew’s eyes when I heard, “Jewel?”  I looked away and had a mini heart attack.  “Jewel, oh my god it is you.”  Jack said with tears streaming down his tanned cheeks.

                “Jack?”  I managed to say.  It was more of a whisper.

                “Yeah, it’s me.  I can’t believe you’re alive.”  He walked closer to me with wide eyes and open arms.

                “Be careful, she just got out of the hospital today.”  Drew said holding out as if I weighed nothing at all.  I felt like a child being thrown into different arms like this.
