Ch//35 Say That You Love Me

"What did your family say yesterday?"

"Why?" He asked sitting up, eating the horrible hospital pudding he asked me to get him. "Because, they literally left after like five minutes"

"Not much really" I stared at him with a straight face. He wasn't telling me something. "Johnny. Tell me"

"Damn it. Why do I listen to you?" I smiled. "Because I'm beautiful"

"Well, your not wrong" I laughed. "Okay. Now, tell me"

"Well, they said that I shouldn't be hanging around you cause I'm most likely gonna get hurt more. Except my mom, she kept apologizing to me because I won't talk to her"

"They seriously think I'm bad for you?" He pursed his lips and nodded.

Johnny handed me his empty pudding cup. I laughed again. "How do you keep eating these so fast?"

"I don't know, but can you get me another?" My eyes widened. "Do you know how much you had already?!" I moved out the way and showed him the pile of empty pudding cups behind me.

"Wow, I ate a lot"

"Yeah. You did"

"So. Can you get me some more?" He laughed. "Of course. Anything for you" I laughed and walked out the room.

"Can Johnny like have this entire tray? He loves these for some reason" the nurse at the desk laughed. "Sure. None of the other patients are eating them"

"Thanks" I smiled and took the tray. Once I got back to his room he smiled in delight. "I got you the whole tray. Since I kind of suspected that you kept asking me to get you some since you don't want me here" he grinned.

"Maybe. Maybe not"

"Eat your pudding asshole" Johnny laughed and opened another pudding cup.

After about two hours, Johnny consumed the entire tray of pudding. "I feel like I'm going to throw up"

"Here, I'll get you the trash can" I got up and walked across the room. He was holding his hand over his mouth so I went back to him quickly. I handed him the trash can and he instantly puked.

I rubbed his back while he hung his head over the hospital bed near the trash.

After he was finished I asked one of the doctors to clear it out and get him water. Once they came back with the water he chugged it down immediately. "Told you, shouldn't have eaten all those pudding cups"

"Well I had to stay distracted some how"

"Why did you need to be distracted?"

"N-nothing..." I wasn't buying it. I could always tell when he was keeping something from me. Even though he could never keep it in.

"Fine" He said frustrated, after a few seconds of me glaring him down. "I had to keep myself distracted from you"

"But..you've been talking to me this entire time"

"Not..talking wise" I was confused at first, then immediately caught on. "Oh" I folded my hands in between my legs.

"You have no idea, how hard it's been for me to try and contain myself from you. You just keep helping me, and that doesn't make it any easier for me to let go"

"Then don't.."

"I can't. I can't let myself feel like that right now" I sighed. "Ugh, your actually no fun"

"Yes I am. You even said it yourself. I make you life exciting" he said smiling. "Don't use my words against me you jerk!" He laughed some more. "I hate you"

"No, you love me"

"I do. I really do" I blushed after speaking. He always makes me feel all tingly. "Do you love me?"

"Of course I do"

"Say it"

"I love you Kenz" I smiled and placed my hands on his. "Then stop playing games with me"

"I'm not playing games.." he brung his fingers over mine. He moved his finger in a circular motion, getting distracted. It made me feel all tingly again. "I'm just..confused"

"About?" I asked him lightly. Still watching him play with my hand. "I just want to be perfect for you"

"There's no such thing as perfect. And I don't care how you are with me, as long as your with me I'll be fine" he smiled and looked up from my hand. "Your hands are so soft.."

He gazed into my eyes and I started blushing. He was acting all nice, when he normally is rough, and takes what he wants. Even though I loved that part of him, this part..was different.

"I could get used to this.." I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Used to what?"

"You being nice. And vulnerable" he grinned. "Well don't, cause I'm getting out tomorrow"

"I know silly. I'm driving you home"

"Please don't.." I lifted my head and looked at him confused. "Why not?"

"I don't want to go back there"

"Then, I'll just take you to my house. You can stay as long as you want"

"But I shouldn't—"

"Your staying with me, or your family. Choose"

"..you..." I smiled. "That's what I thought"

"Hey Mackenzie. It's time to go" the doctor came and told me. "Okay"

"I'm coming to get you tomorrow" he nodded his head and slowly let go of my hands. I got up from the seat and went to the door. "You guys are so cute"

I turned my head back to Johnny and smiled. "We are. You should keep telling him that" the doctor laughed as she went into his room to clean up the pudding cups we left.

I waved and skipped down the hall out the hospital.

"She's here everyday isn't she?"

"Yeah..she stays the whole day, thinks I'll go insane without her"

"She sounds like a keeper"

"Yeah...she is"
