You're My Antidote

Coming Home - Part 14

Dans POV

It had been about a week since __ was put in the hospital. I have gone everyday to visit her during visiting hours. I would stay from opening to closing. I couldn't bear to leave her there alone. Today I was going to bring her a Starbucks Carmel Frapuccino. I arrived to the hospital with mine and her drinks and I walked to her room. The door was opened a bit so I decided to just walk in. The doctor that took care of __ was there with her. He was talking to __ about something and I wondered what it was about. "Morning Mr Howell. I have some news to tell you and Ms. __." Dr. Gram stood up and singled me to join him and __. "So, it seems like __ is getting better very quickly. She's been doing very well and I believe that she can leave here today. She can go home and do whatever she wants. __ can return to her normal activities. She just can't exercise too much." He finished talking and I smiled. __ was going to finally come back home. I'm super happy. Even though she only has one more week her in the U.K. with me before she has to leave. I just want to make the last bit of her time her forgettable. "Thank you Dr. Gram. We are very excited and don't worry. I won't exercise too much." __ replied to the doctor and I nodded. __ and I got her ready to leave the hospital and after a short 15 minutes, we check __ out of here. I called a cab as we stood by the road. One finally pulled up and we got in. I told the driver my address and he took us there.

__ POV

We finally made it home. Dan paid the driver and we walked towards the front door. I missed this old house. I missed Dan. He unlocked the door and we walked in. I sat down on the couch and Dan sat right beside me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I laid my head on his shoulder. "I'm glad that we are back together __" Dan said as he kissed my forehead. I looked up to him and smiled. "I'm happy that I'm here in your arms again. I love you Dan." "I love you too __." I kissed Dan gently on the lips and returned to my position. Dan suddenly made me sit up and he laid down on the couch. He pulled me down with him and we snuggled up. His arm was around my waist and I held his hands. He snuggled his face into my neck and I could feel his warm breath. He kissed my neck and my face began to become hot. My cheeks were a shade of pink now. I looked back towards him and he was already asleep. He was truly tired. He's come to see me in the hospital everyday and I can't imagine how he was when I wasn't home. I wanted to go curl up in the bed but I decided to not wake him up and enjoy this moment. I may not get another moment like this with Dan if my life keeps going the way it has been. All I have to think about now is my future with him and not the past. I'm done with my past and I'm ready for our future.
