Wake Up My Love

Miley's POV

I started to wake up when I felt someone holding my hand. I know exactly who it is- Liam. I held his hand and opened my eyes. I smiled as soon as I saw him.

"Hey there sleepy head." Liam says.

"Hey...I'm really tired."

"Seriously?"

"It feels like I've only been asleep for like, ten minutes at most." I answer.

"It felt like ten hours to me. I know it wasn't, but I still worried every single minute."

"You knew I was gonna be fine..."

"So? I still love you like crazy, I'm supposed to get worried."

"When can we have sex?" I ask, then Liam looks at me with an 'are you serious' face.

"Ha ha ha, yes I know, I asked a stupid question."

"No I'm serious..."

"What?" Liam asks, confused.

"I just woke up really fucking horny." Then Liam laughs. "What? I did."

"You remember what the doctor said, not for three to four days. Then however long it takes for you to feel up to it."

"Dammit."

"I know, it bothers me too."

"Yeah but does it right now? What the hell am I supposed to do?"

"I can ask the doctor if I can go down on you later-" Liam suggests, but I interrupt him.

"No, absolutely not. That's even more embarrassing than asking about sex."

"Well can I ask him when I'm not around you?"

"No! Liam, please don't."

"I just want you happy and satisfied."

"I know you do, and thank you for that." I say. "But that's just too personal."

"Since when do you care about being personal?"

"I'm older now Liam, I just kinda wanna keep all of that stuff to ourselves."

"But you heard the doctor earlier, he said it's a normal question. Many people ask it."

"Maybe sex, but how many people ask about that one do you think?"

"Probably not many, but still." Liam replies, and I roll my eyes.

"Please don't ask."

"Okay, you don't want me to, that's clear."

"Thank you." I say just as Dr. Cooper comes in.

"Well would you look who's awake." Dr. Cooper says. "How are you feeling?"

"Kinda sore, but nothing compared to earlier today."

"You'll be a little sore from the surgery, that's why you have to take it easy. I'm going to take a look at these incisions." I nod and lift my gown, then he puts the blanket over my bottom half.

"How do they look?" Liam asks.

"They're looking great. You'll be able to go home tomorrow. I used the stitches that go away on their own so you don't have to come back in, unless there's a problem."

"Awesome, thank you so much." I say, then put my gown back down.

"So, she's kinda stubborn when it comes to resting because we have three kids. Is there a safe way to just, duct tape her into bed?" Liam says. It made me a little irritated, but I laughed anyway, and so did the doctor.
