Secrets..

An Unexpected Adventure

“Sorry Hope, I didn’t mean to interrupt anything” Nurse Marie said with sincerity in her voice. I felt bad, it wasn’t really her fault for barging in, but still it was frustrating Tom and I nearly shared our first kiss.

As Marie was taking my blood though, I started to think about how I didn’t really want our first kiss to be in a hospital, even though it sounds cheesy I would much rather it somewhere more romantic.

“Well that’s you all done darling, I’ll just let Tom back in again okay?” She asked politely, but with a cheeky grin on her face.

“Yeah that would be great Marie, but I’m just wandering do you know how much longer I’m going to have to stay in here?” Really curious as to how soon Tom and I could leave on our little adventure.

“It should only be a couple more days, then you’ll be ready to go” She told me with a cheery smile. I was relieved that I would only have to be here for a couple more days, because it was actually starting to get really boring in here, and the only thing I could do was stay in this blasted bed.

As Marie left I heard her talking to Tom outside the door, they were laughing for some reason or another and I don’t know why but I felt a surge of jealousy go through me, and I growled to myself. Now I think I understand more why Tom got angry when Josh kissed me.

Although I couldn’t understand it at the time, now I can see why he got so riled up at the fact Josh kissed on the cheek, a naturally friendly thing to do but with these new heightened feelings it almost feels as if he is betraying me.

As if sensing my jealousy Tom stepped into the room with a smug smile on his face.

“Anything wrong sweetheart?” He asked teasingly. This just made me stick my tongue out at him and he chuckled back.

“You know I was just talking to Marie and she is such a lovely girl,” He started I know he was just trying to rile me up but it was definitely working, “She’s really pretty you know and has lovely brown eyes” He said, this was pushing me over the edge and I let out an even bigger growl. I could feel myself start to shake and my vision started going red, even though I knew Tom was only joking the thought of him thinking about another girl in that way made me seethe with anger.

Sensing that he had gone too far Tom made his way over to my side and looked me straight in the eyes and whispered to me softly. “Hope it’s okay, you know I could never look at a girl the way I look at you. You are beautiful and amazing and I would never dream of being with anyone else. Please forgive me for being such an ass, I should never have started teasing you, especially when you’ve just started to get used to all of your new feelings.” He looked so sincere and just his touch seemed to calm me down, although I was still pissed he was trying to make me angry.

I know I’m new to all of these feelings but it surprised me how fast everything was going. I had never imagined myself liking a guy that I had only known for a couple months but as cheesy as it sounds I know it was probably love at first sight. It was strange thinking how far we had come in such a short time; I wasn’t used to all of this lovey dovey stuff.

I stayed quiet for a moment making him fidget anxiously, wondering what I was going to say.
