IN THE LONG RUN (BOOK 2 OF BAR BLUES!)

Chpater 13: I love you, you know that right?...

Bobby's Pov:
A few hours later after George droned on asking questions about everything I felt exhausted. I mean I get why his curious but why so many. Ughh and now I have to figure out what to do about Melody. S**t! I forgot to clean! I realise as I walk through the door to see Layla standing on the landing of the stairs staring at our room.

I quickly run up the stairs to explain well lie until she lets it go. Great marriage.

'What the heck happened here?' She shouts turning to me confused.

'Erm me and George were tidying and forgot to finish?' I reply plastering on a apologetic smile.

Layla looks at our room and at me before walking to the bathroom. 'Just clean it up' she states pinching the bridge of her nose.

'Will do!'

Fiercely, I begin to run round the room and house putting everything back into place with delicacy.

As I run out of our room for the fifth time I hear the shower turn on and collapse to the floor. I am exhausted and I don't think I ate today either. Whoops. Everything begins to turn black as my body rolls flat onto the carpet.

Layla's Pov:
That man is gonna be the death of me, he keeps lying and for what? What happened in that room?

I step out of the shower after a few moments drying myself off, once dried I wrap the towel around my chest to get some clothes from our room.

As I walk out I notice a arm stretched out across the floor, carefully I bend down to find Bobby passed out. Knowing what to do from my job as a nurse I roll Bobby over and lay him on his back checking for bruises in the process. Gently watching his head I lift his legs up to heart level and with my other hand I loosen his belt.

After doing so I place a finger under his nose to see if he is breathing. Luckily he is. Running to my bedroom I grab my phone and ring 911 as I am not certain of how long he has been out.

Once at the hospital I wait in the lobby finally dressed in a top and joggers with trainers waiting irritably for the nurses to come out. They wouldn't let me in even though I showed them my badge from this hospital but because I wasn't in part of the A&E area they still wouldn't let me in. Fun.

I pace back and fourth for what feels like ages when finally a nurse comes out.

'Hello are you Mr Charleston's wife?' she asks.

'No I am his fiancée. Is Bobby okay?'

'Erm give me a second...sorry I am new and I am not sure if I can tell a non-relative the information' she replies sheepishly smiling.

I nod rage taking over as I restart my pace.

'Mam please follow me this way' the nurse gestures.

'Okay but is my fiancée okay? His name is Bobby Charleston?'

'Mam please the doctor will explain and as far as I can see he is doing well' she smiles leading me to his room.

I enter feeling everything in me shake is he okay. I mean she said he was okay but what if she was just trying to calm me down? As I enter the room everything releases out of me as I see Bobby joking with the doctor.

'Are you okay?' I say running over to him wrapping him in a bear hug.

He groans at the impact when I hug him and I pull away giving him a worried look.

'I am fine Layla' I tilt my head to look at him not convinced. 'I promise look tell her doc' Bobby gestures the poor man to speak to me.

'His fine... oh wait hey Layla' I smile realising it's one of the people I work with. 'Bobby is fine just needs some sleep and food and will be ready to go. However we will keep him overnight just to watch him, check vitals and give him some nutrients to feed him up but other than that he will be out by the morning' he answers smiling at me.

I sigh thanking him as he leaves the room.

'See' he jokes but I don't laugh glaring at him. 'What's wrong?'

'Oh nothing just the fact you scared the living day lights out of me seeing you on the floor like that' I yell punching him in the arm.

'Ow hey and I am so sorry but the doctors said that you looked after me well' he smiles like it benefited me.

I punch him again in anger.

'Okay stop ow I am sorry' I look at him sternly not convinced. 'I am truly sorry La La I promise it won't ever happen again' he says serious this time from the way he called me La La which he only ever does when it's important.

'Good otherwise next time I will kill you and that means it won't just be passing out it will be the full bye black hole' I stare at him intensely hoping the threat sinks in.

'I believe you' he chuckles.

'If your okay there is something I need to talk to you about'

'Okay shoot'

'Well erm... I don't mean this in a harsh way but I feel ever since you proposed you have been off with me. Do your regret asking me to marry you?' I ball out.

He stares at me blankly before I notice a tear slide down his cheek.

'Oh Bobby what's wrong?'

'I just am so disappointed in myself for making you feel that way' he sobs. 'I love you and I am so sorry I made you feel like that. I don't regret asking you to marry me it was the best thing I ever did'

I wrap my arms around him once again, joining him in crying.

'I love you, you know that right?' He says voice muffled between my hair.

'I do now' I chuckle.

He squeezes me tightly as I feel him smile on top of my head.

'I love you too soon to be husband'
