ROOM 204...
I walked into the room where my most favourite person in the world was currently occupying. He sat on his wheelchair with the blanket I made for him on his last birthday, perfectly wrapped around his legs as he stared out the window.
"GRAMPS!! I'M HERE!!" I yelled in a sing song tune, banging the door behind me, and not caring about anything else. I was with my grandpa, and that was all that mattered.
Grandpa immediately turned his head towards my direction while I stood there, letting all the frustration and stress go as I smiled at him. He turned his wheelchair to my direction, moving it forward with the push of a button. I happily covered whatever distance that was between us with two long strides as I fell on my knees and hugged him tight.
"well if it isn't the little devil herself" Gramps chuckled whole heartily, making me giggle as well.
"old man! How's this place treating you? Seen any hottie you like?" I said wiggling my eyebrows causing Gramps to shove me playfully, making me land on my butt.
"hahaha, you know yer old man's always got game. Mrs Chan from the women's ward dropped her room number the other day a-, hey! What ever are you doing on the floor? " Gramps asked a little confused...
" ioono grampa.. Maybe I'm looking for something, it's not as if a certain old man shoved me to the floor while fawning over an old lady " I said waving my arms around dramatically making grandpa chuckle.
" I missed you doughnut ",
" urrrgh, grampa, enough of the emotional drama already, you know I'd always come for your annoying old arse no matter what ", I told Gramps, as I sat on the floor, between his legs.
" we'd fight dragons and monkeys, jump mountains and fountains, defeat the hounds if we have to, as long as we'd stay a team.. Krissy and Gramps, together till the end " we recited our own little mantra, laughing and remembering the good old days. It was getting late and my time was almost over.
" I have to be on my way home Gramps. Tom doesn't like it if I return to his house late.. Till next time old man " I said kissing his cheek. I picked up my bag and was about heading for the door when Gramps stopped me..
" Krissy, wait.. ",
" grampa, I told you, I'd be back okay? I really need to get goi- ",
" if you stop yapping and just listen to me, for once in yer life, there'd be no global warming " grampa said as he searched through his box for something.
" fine... What is it you want to show me old man... And I can't believe you just said I'm the cause of glob-"
"Ah ha! Here it is" grampa shouted excitedly as he brought out an old pendant.
"really grampa? All this fuss for that rusty old thing" I asked pinching the tip of my nose.
"why you little... Do you know what this is? This is my most priced possession and you make fun of it? The children of this generation... " grampa said with a frown on his face as he began to turn his wheelchair away from me.
" No, no, no... Gramps... You're taking this too seriously. This is a beaaautiful pendant. Very beautiful. Did you want to give it to Mrs Chan? "I asked as I rushed to kneel beside my grandpa, smiling at his playful scowl as he huffed, refusing to look at me.
" grandfather.... I said I'm sorry... Pleeeeeeaaaase forgive me? I would never joke about your possessions ever again.. I pinky swear" I pleaded with the best puppy dog look I could put up as I raised my pinky and held my throat.
"I would only forgive you if you promise to wear this all the time"
" I promise grampa... Look here" I took the pendant from him and wore it, "see! I'm even wearing it right now". Gramps smiled at me before kissing my forehead and reminding me that I had just 30 minutes to get home. I quickly ran out of his room, yelling 'I LOVE YOU', which earned me weird looks from the nurses. Even if Tom gets mad at me today, I won't be worried because I've had my dose of Gramps, and that's all I needed to be strong...
