Second Chances

Chapter 21

HI everyone, so i have no excuse except the one i usually have. Work is terrible, this pandemic really ruined a lot of things and we are all trying to get our feet back under us. So, i send a huge SORRY to you all.

Hope you're all staying safe out there.

Have fun with the chapter.

I just finished putting on my clothes when i heard the door opening. Knowing who it is, i continued dressing, i was combing my hand through my hair as i made my way to her.

"Hey" 

"How are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm okay" i said as i sit.

"I heard what happened in the hospital today" she said sitting beside me. i just shrugged. i was still thinking about how awkward it was. I sighed. We were quiet for a while. 

"He hugged me"  i told her. "My dad hugged me"

"I heard" she continued "And how are you taking it?"

"I'm fine, i guess" i said in a confused way "I'm adjusting to the new him"

"And how are you adjusting to the doctor?" she asked wiggling her brows.

She's asked me that to divert the conversation from my dad to a neutral topic, but the one she picked isn't neutral at all. I'm grateful for the shift in topic.

i shake my head at her and covered my face with my hands.

"He's okay" it came out muffled because my face is still hidden

"Nah, you don't tell me he's okay just like that" she said as she pried my hands from my face "I want the details, everything that happened"

So, i told her what i could, leaving most things out. After dinner, we moved to the bedroom to continue our conversation, although we discussed other things, she always found a way to take our discussion back to him. 

"He sounds amazing" she sighed.

"Yeah, i guess"

"You guess?" she sat up "Okay, on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate him?"

"In what aspect?"

"I don't know, let me think" she said as she pretended to think "Oh yes, the Sex"

"You are really missing action these days aren't you"

"Don't try to change the subject, i live vicariously through you" 

I laughed when she said that, she and her boyfriend have been having issues for a while now, and it seems they're not close to sorting it out.

"What about Tyler?" i ask her "Anything from him?"

"Please don't call that name in my presence. Henceforth, if you wanna talk about him, you will refer to him as he-who-shall-not-be-named." she told me "And please, don't try to change the topic again, spill?"

I sighed again "I'll give him a solid 8" 

"Yes!" she pumped her fist "Now, describe the sex"

She looked like someone that was waiting for an interesting story, she looks so serious, she even went as far as rubbing her hands together.

"It was good" as soon as i said that, she deflated, 

"Just good?" she asked "Did you forget about the part where i said i want details"

"What do you want me to say, i'm not good as describing things" 

"Really, but you can describe things to patients, describe drugs to use and how to use them, make diagnosis etc" she listed them off her fingers.
