The Flu

Chapter 6

Nella couldn't help but cry over her stupidity. She had thought Charles would forgive him. Or maybe be angry but not to the extent of taking their only assurance of love for each other : the ring. She rubbed her finger several times not thinking clearly. She just didn't feel how hurt he was having changed for her only to be ruined. He was broken, he had seen her an angel ".

"What just happened?" Epy asked walking in.

" I told him. He left!" was all she could say a midist the tears.

Epy didn't know what to do. He had seen women cry, calmed them down in his line of duty and even his failed marriage but never did a woman make him feel so weak. He just hugged her feeling guilty with a sudden funny  feeling  in him. He just wanted to hold her close, the only time he had seen her vulnerable.

"He will be back." He assured her.

"You caused this. Just leave!" she shouted at him getting out of his hug.

No, she was wrong. She had started it by telling her victory on the rehab journey with her guy. She had exposed the real her to a stranger in one moment of fear. She had told him all about her wins and fails over the time  and he had fallen in love with her person. He had found a supportive, loving, independent, charitable, woman in her. One he was sure he hadn't met before .

"No its you. You think i have had an easy time over the months you were gone? Every evening i have been booking in late surgeries to keep my mind occupied. I have been avoiding my son to keep off his curiosity of him on  you. I have avoided dinners with my Nana! What more do you want me to do cherry? "

She just gazed at him. Her brown eyes all watery and in shock. She couldn't believe him. After all it was just a fling to her. Or wait, was it anything more? She didn't remember saying any assurance words to him. May be she had in her weakest moments of pleasure with him but none too serious.

"Are you now bla..." he hushed her down with a passionate kiss. She replied to it and was so absorbed in the moment. She pulled away and wiped her lips as if she had just tasted the worst thing in her life.

"Get out!"

He didn't argue, he left with his scent still behind all over the hospital sheets. She pulled them to her blossom and smelled them.

"like is heavens watching this?" she asked out loud to an empy room. She felt confused more by the kiss than the situation at hand. She stopped crying and suddenly wished she could wrap her thighs around Epy's body for a jolly ride.

His dad's wheelchair was what brought her back from fantasy. She must have slept off for long for it was almost dinner.

"Are you well kiddo? My little pumpkin you scared us!"  Walter stood behind his long  time friend. He had taken the chaperone role for the evening.

"Of course she is well. Why are you even holding tight to those sheets?" Her dad asked sniffing them then added.

"The doctor was here again. What did he give you?" he looked startled.

"Nothing actually. Hows you actually?" she asked him.

"Am this fine actually ." he teased her and stood and walked around. Walter groaned.

"Really now? All this time you could walk?" walter was pissed.

Andy grinned. He was sure his friend wouldn't have brought him here if he hadn't been this clever enough. He hated hospitals.

They chat on for a while and from time to time Nella could pick on a fantasy and not listen to the animated chat that was going on between the two and loud laughter. A night nurse came to her rescue and dispassed the duo leaving her alone.

After they had left the nurse brought in her meal and was surprised to notice it was a take out. The nurse smiled.

" Dr  Epy said you do need this!" then she disappeared.

An Arabian chicken take out with her favorite organic celery juice, perfect choice. It was her last meal with Epy before she walked away. Under it was a card...

"Will you be my date immediately you are out? I can also sneak you out!" it read.

She smiled, folded back the card and ate. As if Epy was waiting for the moment. He walked in smiling with roses.

"What do you say?"

"I have seen fantasy movies, dreamt, read books but never has this happened to me." Nella replied.

"Is that a yes or you need permission from dad?" he teased her.

"I need that. I will let you know." she said eating.

He sat at the seat on one end and looked at her munch. She was beautiful. Her well done faux locs and high cheeckbone complimented by her neck brought it all out. Her body frame on the bed could show her curvy look that always brough the beauty all out. She was dark skinned and on her wrist was a needle connected with tubes going through to  her veins. She looked better than the previous night.

"What are you staring at!" she said turning her back to him.

"You and your beauty."

"How are you even here at the wrong time?"

"I pulled strings." he winked at her.

" Doctors thing i see." Nella was feeling a little bit dizzy. Within no time she was asleep again.

In that moment he thought it better to quickly take her blood sample than just ask the nurse as previously though and then walked out. He had to find out what was the relation between his blood and hers....
