Serendipity

Longing

Zak POV..

I sighed into the darkness of my bedroom, finding no peace from my overworked mind.

The strong smell of perfume overwhelmed my senses to the point that I had turned on the air conditioning to try and pump some of it out of the room. But the sickly smell stayed along with the woman beside me.

Her sleeping frame and medusa like hair was giving me grief. Every so often she would try and cling onto me in her sleep, which lead to some of her hair entering my mouth. Some times she would check if I'm awake and try to make advances again. But I couldn't.  Once was enough with a woman I had no desire to be with, it has been the same for a long time.

Only one woman would keep my stamina up, her sultry looks and pouted lips kept me awake whilst her body reignited mine with adrenaline, pushing any thoughts of sleep away.

But she didn't want me..

I closed my eyes trying to give into the darkness when Katy popped into my mind again, reminding me some of the memories we shared together..

"Look at me, I promise, I'll be right there when you wake up." She swore holding onto my hand tightly.

"But what if-"

"What if nothing. I'm not leaving here, not even for a bathroom break. I'll... I'll pee in the bin if I have to okay?" She asked making me chuckle softly.

I nodded before looking at the plastic surgeon. "I'm ready."

He gave me a final nod before smiling at Katy. But before we could leave the room,  Katy stopped us.

"Sorry, I know about timing and all that but.." She twisted her fingers with anxiety before flailing her hands and grabbing my face.

I cocked my head up enough to know what she wanted.. A kiss.

I cupped the back of her head keeping her close to me before the hospital porter cleared his throat. It enticed a gasp from Katy before she giggled and gave me a gentle kiss on my nose. "I'll see you soon."

"Yeah you will." I grinned before finally leaving with no anxiety about this operation as to what I had before.

.....

"Hey.. I'm here." A soft voice came as I came around from the surgery.

"Katy."

"Hey baby." She whispered making me groan. "Oh hush, I know you hate pet names but..." her hand tightened.

"Did you miss me?" I croaked.

"You wish. Did you dream of me?" She asked as I opened my eyes to see her watching me intently.

"You wish."

She smiled down and kissed my hand. "I wanna kiss you so much but.. It looks so- so painful."

I rolled my head slightly "Cold."

"You're cold? Well I can do something about that." She stated before throwing all precautions out the window and kicked off her shoes to climb on the bed beside me. She worked around the wires and hugged me tightly.

"You did miss me." I teased making her grumble. "So does this mean I've got a nurse for the next few days? Will you dress up?"

"You look so poorly. You're not getting out of bed until this is over with. I just hope it was worth it and you're happy."

"I just hope I can breathe through it."

"Maybe you'll stop that whistling.. Although I've always found it incredibly cute." She replied rubbing my chest gently.
