"Hi sweetie? You're the girlfriend?" This woman asked me as I approached Odell's hospital room.
"Yes ma'am. Are you the woman I spoke to on the phone, Mrs. Rachel?" I asked smiling some pulling my purse up on my shoulder some more.
"Yeah, I told him that my husband and I would wait here until you got here. They brought him up about 30 minutes ago. He may still be a little loopy, but I'd go in and let him know that you're here" She gave me a warm smile.
I exhaled some looking into the window frame shaking my head.
"Again, thank you so much Mrs. Rachael! I will be sure Odell sends you both a wonderful thank you gift!" I hugged her before biting my lip and walking into the hospital room.
"Who are you?" I heard someone say behind me. I turned seeing a male doctor with a clipboard in his hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm his girlfriend. I was told it was ok to come in" I stuffed my hands in my pockets.
He smiled and nodded his head.
"Okay. Just making sure. Odell told us to be aware that a woman may come here and try to harm either you or him again. So if you don't mind. What's your name?" He asked.
"Rya" I said in a dry tone.
"Ah okay, Got your name right here. Anything you wanna know in regards to his injury?" He questioned.
"I'll tell her" Odell's faint voice managed to say.
"Just take it easy, ok?" the Doc said before leaving out.
I sighed and observed him before pulling up a chair next to his bed.
"Hi" I bit my lip.
"Hi" He smiled some.
"She could have really hurt you" I choked on my words.
"But she didn't. Don't cry" He reached his hand out for mine.
"But she had every opportunity to." I cried softly.
"Baby. Stop it. I rather her hurt me than figure out that you were 5 floors down" He sighed shaking his head.
"But if this is how she wanna play then fine. I got a restraining order issued out on her ass. Since she wanna go all psycho" He added.
"Think that will keep her away?" I asked.
"I mean. shit it should. I honestly don't know how she got so crazy to be honest. She use to be such a sweet girl" He sat back looking up at the ceiling.
I squeezed his hand softly causing him to look at me and I leaned in to kiss his hand.
"I'm just glad that you're okay" I sniffled.
"I love you Ry"
I looked up and but my attention was drawn to the commotion coming from outside the door.
Odell raised his eyebrows to the faint yelled he could hear through the closed door.
"I DONT CARE WHATS ON THE LIST THATS MY SON" Heather yelled. I sighed and stood up to open the door.
"Doc, she's okay. He said let her come in" I stepped to the side.
She rolled her eyes at the Doctor and walked past me.
"Thank you Darling. Where's my grandson? Haven't seen him in a while" she looked around the room.
"Next time I'll bring him. I came to see his dad this time" I chuckled some. I really can't believe my crazy ass jumped on the plan! Wait! Yes I can. I'm crazy about mine.
"Hm." She looked at me before him.
"Well I'm glad someone was here before I could travel from Jersey. Now where is that crazy girl? You know she always felt like she and I had a bond. Lemme talk to her for you son." She patted his foot.
He sighed and turned from her.
"No ma! I don't even know why you keep trying to keep her around. She's a sociopath! And I just got a restraining order on her! Because if she harm my baby mama or my kid I'm really going to kill her. And I put that on everything I love." He said in stern tone. I bit my lip and watched him ponder his thoughts.
Heather chuckled some and shook her head.
"Oh son! Now you know that was necessary"
"Yeah ma? You saying that, but you were the one that was stabbed. Can you give us the room please? I'm probably about to try to get some sleep too. I'll call you tomorrow." He dismissed her.
She put her head down and sighed.
"Sooner or later son you're going to have to forgive me about the baby okay? I love you" she trailed the last part off as she grabbed her keys.
"I'll keep you updated Heather" I sighed.
"Thank you Darling." She said leaving out.
Once she was gone I turned to him and he staring at me.
"You ain't shit you know that right?" I rolled my eyes.
"It's whatever. Now come sit on Daddy lap" he chuckled licking his lips.
I laughed and came to sit next to him instead.
"I'm for real Dell. You gotta forgive her." I said caressing his face.
"One day."
