Anything For Love

Chapter 41

I hate this hospital. The food sucks, the channels are boring, and I hate needles😣. I miss being with my family, even if some of them are annoying, whining babies who lash out at people for no damn reason. I honestly don't know what's wrong with Ken but I don't like how he's acting. I shuffled around the bed for the remote and turned the tv off. I rolled to the left and grabbed my phone off of the side table. The clock on my phone reads 4:05 am. I decided to just scroll through social media where I found all kinds of get well posts from my tigers. I posted a pic saying I was fine and thanking all who supported me during this hard time and closed my eyes.

I lie in bed with my eyes wide awake and my mind racing. I didn't mean to lash out at Toni but I'm just a little upset that she's making me choose between spending time with her and spending time with Peyton. I mean that's my daughter...and she's my girlfriend, I love both of them. I want to talk to her about it but she's stuck at the hospital and her being there makes her cranky and trying to have a reasonable conversation when she's cranky is completely impossible. I glance over at the side of the bed Toni sleeps on. No matter what I said and did I still must admit it's not the same without her here, her head resting on my chest as we lay side by side, the way she would run her fingers up and down my arms when we watched tv together in bed and my favorite is when she would awaken me with her soft and sensual kisses and opening my eyes first thing in the morning to her perfectly vibrant smile and sparkling eyes. I sat up and grabbed my phone. I texted Toni hoping that she would be awake.

I know it's early but I can't go to sleep with you mad at me. I typed and pressed the send button hoping she would reply.
Two minutes later...

I can't sleep either. I'm sorry for lashing out at you. I read, dwelling on each and every word.

You had every right to be agitated. I shouldn't have just hung up on you like that. I admitted.

I just want to get everything back to the way it was or at least to how it was when I was unconscious. She typed.

That coma was paradise huh.

Yea it really was. I had everything I've always dreamt of. It was like a dream come true...or so I thought😔.

Can you promise me something? I asked.

What is it?

Promise me that the day you get released from the hospital, you'll tell me all about your coma and what happened. I really just want to make her feel better and the first step in doing that is to find out what she wants so badly that was in her coma that she didn't have before it.

Sounds like a plan😘. She sent as I smiled to myself.

We continued texting until the sun came up and let me tell you our conversation made me the happiest I've been in a long time❣️
