It's Complicated

Chapter 8

     "Tom", the words slipped out of my mouth before I could even think. I sounded so desperate, and needy for somebody. " Hey there, are you feeling better?" He asks me as if I had just tried to commit suicide. He looks at me with those gentle eyes. "Yeah, actually I feel normal. Hey, do you know where my daughter is? I hope she's in safe hands. Is she with her father? God, I hope not...." I trail off, listing things that could have gone wrong. " She's in safe hands. I looked through your phone for your parents phone numbers, and she's currently with your mom. Your mom said that you shouldn't rush to pick her up since she hasn't seen her ' grand baby' in a long time," he replies in a raspy voice. I just thank him silently and start watching the show again.

  I feel somebody's hand shaking my shoulder. I slowly open my eyes to adjust to the bright sun shining through the room. " Excuse me, your going to be leaving today ma 'me. Thank you for being a good patient. Have a nice day." This nurse looks as if she could be a model. Why work here when you have the looks, and the body? I slowly rise out of bed, then try to walk to the bathroom to wash up before I leave. I slip into the bathroom, and turn on the shower. The steam builds in the shower, and I get in. I wash my hair and body. I really needed to shave but they probably don't want their short term patients to have razors or knifes. I get out and just get dressed, brush my long brunette hair and pull it back into a messy bun. . I look at myself I the mirror and walk out. I walk into the lobby and find Tom there with a coffee from Starbucks in his left hand and in the right is my phone. I walk up behind him and grab the phone. He quickly looks at me and smiles, his pearly whites showing. " Hey," he said after a couple of minutes of staring at each other. I guess we were mentally arguing as to who should say what first. "Hi," I breath out. He chuckles, and I can smell the mint from his breath, hitting my face. " You ready?" Tom asks as if I know where we are heading." Where to?" I ask, getting nervous that I might have to go back home to such a lonely place. " My place if you want? If, that's okay with you?" He asks, like I would smack him if he got the wrong answer. " Yeah, that sounds great but don't you have to work?" I ask, almost in a whisper. " Yeah, I have to research some things for the next trial I have," he starts to trail off and then looks back down at me. " You ready?" he asks, searching my face, then landing back on my eyes. " Ready as ever," I chuckle out. He laughs and looks down, and starts to bite his lip. He looks back up at me and smiles. I smile back and start to walk off to his car. Tom opens the car door for me, and I hope on in. He runs around the car, and sits down in the drivers seat. He looks over at me, and searches my face once more. This time he lands on my lips. I start to do the same. I feel something in my stomach, I don't know if its butterflies or nervousness. He leans in and puts his hand on my cheek and puts his fingers beneath my ear. He leans in so close I can smell his minty breath. " Is this right?" I ask in a whisper. " It is right now." He says as he leans in and kisses me gently. I put my arms around his neck and play with the bottom of his brown, short hair. I start to fill sparks inside my stomach. " This is what love feels like." I think to myself, while Tom and I make out.
