We been talking for forty minutes now.
"Why do you call me shorty" she laughed
"Because your short especially compared to me. I'm tall"
" oh ok. I kinda like it when you call me shorty" she looked down and played with her best again. She is nervous again. She seems like a shy person. Like a introvert. I think she has social anxiety.
I moved the teddy bear out her hand and lifted her head up by putting my fingers under her chin. "Look at me" I said softly " you seem so nervous. Are you shy? Do you have social anxiety?"
" yes and yes. I didn't know I made it that obvious"
"You did and it's ok. Obviously you can tell that I'm not shy at all" I laughed
She laughed " my nurse is coming soon to give me my medicine. I don't want you to get caught."
I love her laugh "ok shorty. Goodnight sweet heart." I walked to the door
"Goodnight Joel" she blushed and laid back down
I walked out her room and rushed to my room with a smile on my face.
Jenesis' POV
After he left I started writing in my diary. Joel is the sweetest. I felt comfortable around him after awhile. That's rare because I don't feel comfortable around people that I have known for years. He was so nice. He could tell how I was feeling and nobody can do that. He was paying attention to me more than I was.
His wavy black hair and tan skin is so cute. His green eyes are magical. But after all that I still don't trust him that much and he said he's fine with that.
The night shift nurse came in and gave me my medicine. I feel asleep after that.
I woke up at 10 am to see Joel sitting in the chair just looking at me "hey beautiful"
I jumped up because he scared Me.
"You freakin scared me Joel. Don't do that".He laughed "I was thinking about you so I just came to your room"
"You were thinking about me" I blushed
"Yes I was. I been thinking about you since the first time I saw you"
Somebody knocks on the door and we were scared that it could be Cathy but it was The person that drops off my food.
"Do you still have a fever" I asked him
" no. I'm so happy."
" that's good" I smiled and took the bed sheets off of me. I was getting hot and I started to eat.
"Yeah. This hospital food is nasty kinda"
"Yeah it is. But I'm trying to gain weight so I have to eat this food or I'll get really sad about how skinner I am"
" you're perfect in my eyes but do what makes you happy"
" how am I perfect in your eyes" I laughed
" the way you think. You're Ora. Even though you got a gown on I can still tell how beautiful your body is"
"You're so nice to me. It makes me want to be nice to you too and compliment you" I laughed
"Well what would you compliment on" he smiled
"Your hair. Your clear tan skin. Your voice and your beautiful green eyes" I finally made eye contact with him
"Wow. Thanks Jenesis. I love your long brown hair. Your clear skin and your hazel eyes. But your attitude is the wooorrssst" he laughed
"Shut up. I don't even have a attitude" I rolled my eyes
"You see what I'm talking about" He laughed and pointed at me
"Whatever" I laughed with him
" so can I finally have your number?" He slowly looked up at me
I sighed "Yeah I guess. Give me your phone"
"Here" he gave me his phone and I put my number in. My contact name was Jenesis with a pink heart emoji right next to it.
"Nice contact name. Thanks for giving me your number. I'll text you. I gotta go back to my room. Cathy is gonna give me my meds soon" He walked to the door
" ok, no problem" I smiled
He walked out the door And I couldn't get him off of my mind.
It's 7 pm and I just been writing in my diary all day. My dad also came to visit me. I'm so happy that he did. I missed him.
Catherine Gave me a gown so I change into a new one. I walked to the bathroom and changed and just looked in the mirror. I took my clothes off and felt so insecure that I almost started to cry. So many girls wanna be skinny and I have no idea why because I feel so ugly right now.
"Hey shorty!" I heard Joel say when he was walking towards the bathroom.
I remembered i didn't close the bathroom door all the way . "Joel stop, don't come to the bathroom!"
I'm pretty sure he was already there right at the outside of the door where the door was cracked. "Ok I won't Jen. I didn't see you on the bed when I came in so I was trying to look for you."
"Knock next time please" I said
"Ok I will. Why didn't you close this door anyway"
"Because it's my hospital room and every time someone comes in they knock"
" well I'm sorry. Can you come out now"
"Yes hold up" I looked in the mirror then walked to the door
" ohh you did your hair. It's looks nice"
"Thanks"
" so I was thinking that maybe we could walk around the mall when Cathy leaves" He smirked at me
