All Is Fair In Love And War

Chapter 10

Before I knew it I had wrapped my arms around Blake's neck. My head rested partly on his shoulder and partly on his chest. It felt so right. It felt good.

My breathing started to go back to normal and I had stopped the flow of tears from my eyes. I started to lift my head up with my arms still around Blake's neck.

His eyes were a beautiful blue color. We sat there holding each other and staring into each other's eyes. His arms rested on the pit of my back, just the perfect spot.

"You wanna go do something?" he asked finally breaking the silence.

"But we both aren't released for at least a couple hours. And what about your parents? or mine?"

"My uncle is a doctor here I'm sure he would release us now if we showed him we were ok."

"But you have a broken ankle."

"True-" he said and with one quick move released himself from my grasp and stood up "but I can still walk."

"Don't you need crutches?"

"Not if I have you to help me." He stated with a smile. An then swung his arm around my head and rested it on my shoulders. "Now let's go find uncle Pete!"

I quickly put my arm around his waist to help him with his balance. He had a big boot on his foot which helped him walk. It seemed to be working. We started walking down the hall when I spotted Blake's parents walking towards us. I quickly tugged his shirt and spun him so we were facing the other way.

"What was that for?"

"Saving you from having to talk to your family."

"Oh ok. Hey I have an idea."

I looked at him cautiously and he smirked and said "don't worry you won't get in to much trouble."

"Trouble?"

"Calm down we are going to sneak out the back door."

"What about all my stuff in my hospital room?"

"Fine. We can go get it. Where is your room?"

I pointed down the hall. He just blankly nodded ok.

I gathered all my stuff from my room into a bag and walked over to my pillow where I had left my phone, I grabbed it and walked to where Blake was leaning against the door frame.

"Ready?" he said looking down at me.

"Umm. I guess."

I guess Blake's car hadn't been damaged in the crash because when we walked out he climbed into a black ford pickup truck. He opened the door for me but instead I made him sit in the passenger seat and I was driving.

After a couple minutes of just sitting in the car, Blake finally commanded "ok. Give me your phone."

I didn't question him I just handed it to him. He was doing something on it but I couldn't figure out what. All the sudden he hands it back to me and just says "done."

"What did you do?"

"I just texted your mom that you went home with a friend and not to worry you will be home at 9."

"You what?"

"Calm down. It saves her a trip and gives us more time to get to know each other."

"Oh. Good point. Your'e right!"

I started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot. Once on the road I asked "Where to?"

"Anywhere you want, I'll pay."

I wanted some real food. We were going to eat! Was this night gonna turn out to be a date? Was he gonna be nice or end up a jerk? I guess we will have to find out.
