LCO 40
"Matt, honey?" I knocked on the hotel room. We had gotten in a fight earlier about the gunshot and how idiotic it was and then Francis apologized to Matt about getting upset but Matt stormed off anyway and said he didn't feel well after being shot. And I went out to go see a movie with Cruise and Ralph and I was coming back late.
"Hold on!" He called. I heard the lock unlatch and the door opened. He was in his briefs and the bandage was wrapped around his torso.
"Oh."
"No, look, honey, we need to talk," I said. He started to trudge back to his bed and laid down.
"What is it? You gonna tell me how idiotic I am again?" He said. I pulled the loveseat to the bed and sat next to him.
"No I wanted to make up."
"Well, unfortunately, we're both unable to make up because the way that we make up is off limits for both you and me."
"Really, Matt?"
"Sorry." I started to run my fingers through his hair.
"How you feeling?"
"Sore. It hurts."
"I bet. Look, Matt, I didn't mean all those things I said earlier. We're kids. We're meant to have a little fun but it was dangerous, okay?"
"Yeah...and I don't think you're a shitty nurse. I think you're a fine nurse."
"Thanks," I said.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"What would've you had done if that was real metal bullet?"
"Call 911, apply pressure to the-"
"No. I mean like in terms of our relationship."
"I mean I'd be there with you the whole time and make sure you were okay."
"Would you cry?"
"Yes."
"Would you pray?"
"Yes."
"Would you still love me?"
"Yes," I laid my hand on my cheek and he grabbed it.
"I'm sorry for being such a jackass today," he said.
"It's okay."
"Can I ask you something else?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you come in bed with me and kiss me?" I smiled and started around the bed.
"You know, Matt, you don't want me as to so much kiss you in front of anyone, but we're alone, you like me babying you, don't you?" I said, climbing underneath the covers.
"Sure," he said. I moved closer and kissed him until he wouldn't let me go.
"I love you, okay?"
"Okay."
