Switched: The Complete Series

Chapter Thirty- Five- Trash can

~~Damien's point of view~~

Two days. We've been in this room for two days. Two days I've shared a bed with Luna. Two days of waking up with a raging hard-on. Two days of taking showers to relieve myself.

Luna: "Damien..."

Damien: "Hmm?"

Luna: "I don't feel well."

I look over at her; she's pale. I feel her head.

Damien: "You're burning up."

Luna: "Little shit got me sick."

Damien: "It's not his fault."

Luna: "He's too cute to blame."

Damien: "Do you want to go to the doctor?"

Luna: "No, I'll just ride it out. Hopefully, you don't get sick."

Damien: "I'll be ok."

Luna: "Trash can!"

I jump up and grab the can. I get to her just in time.

Damien: "That was unbelievably attractive, Babe."

She lets out a very soft giggle.

Luna: "Thank you for being here, Damien. This would be very bad if I were alone."

Damien: "You won't be alone as long as I am around, Babe."

I mean that. I was attracted to her before I left. She was sexy as hell pregnant. I thought being away from her it would fizzle out. It only intensified. I haven't had feelings for anyone. Not in a long time. I've been with girls, but I keep it one night only. I'm not the commitment type; I wasn't anyway. Luna and Malachi make me want that; I want her and him. I want them.

Damien: "I'm going to run to the pharmacy to get water. Are you going to be ok while I go?"

Luna: "Yes."

I don't want to tell her until I know for sure. Malachi doesn't need to be around her when she's just getting sick. I call Axel.

~Phone conversation~

Axel- "Hello?"

Damien- "Hey, I have a favor."

Axel- "What's that?"

Damien- "Luna's got the flu. Malachi is almost over it; I don't want him to get sick again; we can't bring him home. Do you think Amber would keep him for us?"

Axel- "She'd love it. I'll have her call you."

Damien- 'Thanks."

~End phone conversations~

I make it in the pharmacy. I get water and some small stuff I know Luna would be able to eat.

Amber: "Damien?"

I turn to the voice. I know it's Amber.

Damien: "Hey, Amber. Axel and I were just talking about you."

Amber: "I know. He called. I was looking at you when he called."

Damien: "Stalk people much?"
