{Wednesday, April 29, 2009}

I STAND UNDER THE WARM water as I get my hair wet and start washing myself. As I'm washing myself, I hear a knock come from the bathroom door. "Keira?" I hear Colby ask.

"Yes?" I call back.

"Can I come in?" he asks. "I need to brush my teeth and do my hair."

"Sure," I call back.

I hear him open the door and step in. Hearing him walk over to the counter, he starts brushing his teeth. I also hear him spray on some cologne and style his hair. "Thanks, babe," I hear him call as he exits the bathroom.

Finishing up in the shower, I switch it off and step out. I wrap a fluffy white hotel towel around my body and one around my hair and exit the bathroom. I notice Colby is eyeing me closely, so I purposely sway my hips seductively as I pass him. I grab my clothes and enter back into the bathroom. I don't shut the door back, so I hear Colby fall back on the bed and release a moan into a pillow. "Damn, the only thing I did was grab a change of clothes! And 'that' turned you on?!" I shout, laughing.

"Shut up!" I hear Colby shout back.

I giggle (and I'm sure he rolls his eyes at that). Getting dressed, I do my hair and makeup and then exit the bathroom. When Colby realizes what I'm wearing, he gasps. "You do realize we're going to the hospital and not a freaking strip club."

"I haven't finished buttoning my shirt, you perv." Grabbing my bra from last night off the floor, I toss it at him and he hisses seductively.

I roll my eyes as I grab my shoes and his hand before pulling him down to the lobby with me.

When we arrive at the hospital, we go to Milo's room and find him asleep. We also notice that a nurse is checking on him. When the nurse notices we're in the room, she turns to us. "What relation do you share with Mr. Milo?" (Okay, I'm assuming this isn't the same nurse as yesterday. Unless they always ask this questions to the patients guests.)

"I'm his daughter," I answer. "And this is my fiancé," I continue, gesturing to Colby.

Nodding her head, she finishes up what she was doing with Milo and then exits the room.

Pulling a chair up, I sit down beside my dad's hospital bed and sigh inaudibly. From the corner of my eye, I watch as Colby comes over and starts rubbing my shoulder gently. "He's going to be okay," he responds, bending down and kissing the top of my head. After that, he goes to sit on the couch.

Sighing mutely again, I turn my attention to my dad. "Hi, Daddy. It's Keira. Uh, I know our father/daughter relationship isn't very committed, but I'm sorry for everything I've done to you in the past and I just want to let you that I—" I take a deep breath. "I love you. Please, wake up soon." I kiss his cheek gently before releasing his hand and sitting back. That's when I felt someone place their hand on top of my head.

"Keira?" Wrenching my neck backwards, I peer up and realize it's Colby. I quickly snap my head around.

"Hm?"

"I'm going to run to McDonalds or something and got us some breakfast," he replies. "What do you want?"

"A bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and a Coke please," I reply.

Giving me a thumbs up, he pecks me on my lips and then leaves. I turn my attention back to my dad. 'Mm, I hope he wakes up soon' I thought.
