Life With Falling Gravity

~Chapter 8~

~Chapter 8~

Arina's POV:

I know i may be stupid in trusting these guys, but Doni seems super sweet, i cant help but get the chills from his touch and i cant help but trust him. almost as if i already knew him.

it must be a crush.

i don't even know him. hell, i dont even know what he looks like.

but it does touch my heart how much he cares, especially since he doesnt even know me.

and then it dawned on me.

"wait did we know each other? you know; before my accident?" i asked him almost in a panic.

"no." Doni answered quickly.

"ok good. i just thought since memory loss is a syptom... sorry." i realized i was rambeling.

he chuckled,

"its all good, no worries. any way, we just pulled up to the bus, Nico will grab the bags and i will bring you inside. and just so you know i will buy you a new car after all of this since we deserted yours." Doni said nonchalontly.

"oh, its ok, that was a rust machine anyway."

"thats why im going to buy you a new car." he said

"oh no, dont, its ok, your hospitality is above and beyond what i could ask for already."

"trust me," he began, "money is not an issue."

"and trust me, i dont take advantage of anyone or anything. im a penny pintcher. i appreciate cheap things. no new car. please." i begged.

"...ok. come on lets get you inside."

"when we get inside can i get some more meds and just lay down? im not feeling up to talking right now; my side feels like i'm getting stabbed and my head is beginning to pound like a frat party in my skull."

he chuckled

"yes of course. anything you need." he said.

all i rememeber is getting help taking a few steps up, walking a little, and then sitting on the most comfortable bed i have ever felt in my entire life.

so plush. it just contoured my body like it was ment for me.

"open your hand hun." Doni said.

he dropped 2 pills in my hand, and put my other hand to a water bottle. i down it without tilting my head back. and i thanked him.

he took the water bottle back, lifting my legs into the super plush comforter, taking my shoes off, and placing a huge, cloud like pillow behind my head and said,

"this is my room, but until you are fully recovered its your room. the couch in the other room pulls out into a bed so thats where i will be staying. so i wont be far if you need anyhting"

"i can tell its your room, it smells just like you."

as soon as i said that i wish i could take it back, i felt my face flash in heat from an instant blush.

he chuckled and said

"hm, i didnt realize i was getting sniffed at, all day. get some rest hun"

when i heard the door click closed i placed both hands over my face and bandages.

"What the hell was i thinking? 'it smells just like you'? smooth Arina, reall smooth. now he probably thinks you're weird. Gee, arent we are off to a great start." i scolded myself.

i rolled over, feeling the bed around, and i felt another pillow.

i pulled it close, and i cuddled it, it smelt just like him. as soon as the vibrations in my head began to calm down, i fell asleep almost instantly.

When i woke up, i didnt think it was neccasarry to call for anyone to help me out of bed. so i stretched carefully, untill i remembered my ribs, i swear i saw stars spinning around my head like an old cartoon.

i lifted the blanket off of me.

i remembered that the door wasnt too far from the bed. so i followed the touch of the end of the bed, and took a few steps forward with my hands out waiting for them to meet with a wall.

when they did, i turned left and followed the wall until i felt the door. it wasnt long until i felt just that. i was somewhat happy with myself.

As i opened the door, i realized that i couldnt remember much after that.

My memory just faded away.

i'm so used to doing things on my own. i hate being so vonerable. i just sat there, i felt dizzy, but then again my eyes are covered and all i feel is pain in my side.

i let out a breath realizing i needed help.

"Arina," Doni shouted, "why didnt you call me for help."

"i'm fine i can do things on my own, i dont need someone to feed me grapes like im royalty every 2 minutes." i said.

i quickly realized i sounded angry and i know Doni is only trying help.

"I'm sorry Doni, i'm just used to doing things on my own. i hate feeling useless."

"hey now, you are NOT useless." he said tilting my chin up.

"Just because you need a little help, does not make you useless. i am more than happy to help you out. you seem genuine to me."

"Genuine?" i asked.

"yes, genuine, meaning i cant see you taking advantage of anyone, that you're a fighter, and look to make others laugh." he explained while escorting me into the kitchen.

"that does sound like me, but you make it sound better than what it actually is. i'm just me Doni."

"which proves my point, there is nothing about you that is useless." he said helping me sit on a stool

"now, take a seat here," he said slowly lifting me up to sit on this tall stool, "im going to make you my famous fruit parfet."

"oooooh, a fruit parfet sounds perfect right now."

"just wait until you taste it, i heard that your senses highten when you close your eyes." Doni said.

"lets just make the best of this i guess."

"that's it. now taste this." he said placing a spoon gently into my mouth.

i savored every bit of it.

i could taste the sweetness of the blueberries, the juicy over flowing from the strawberries, the crunch from granola that had a hint of honey, and smooth sweet vanila yogurt.

"oh my god. Doni that is delicious! can you make this for me everyday?"

"for you, of course i will." he said.

"what is that i smell? did you cook something?" i asked.

"no, but by your expression from lunch, you really enjoyed taco bell, so i kept the receit. while you were asleep i stopped by one and got you the exact same thing you ordered. i thought you might enjoy having it again."

"oh hell yea i will!!" i said realizing that i seemed too excited,

"...sorry."

he chuckled,

"dont be, i hope i can keep you this excited during this whole recovery thing."

"so far, you're doing an amazing job."

half way through my meal;

"so hey, um, after i finish eating, can you help me move around here so i can try to familiarize myself with my surroundings?"

"of course, and after you can take a shower, before i picked up your meal i got you the lavender shampoo, conditioner, and body oil you asked for." he said.

"oh my god i love you."

"... i'm sorry hun, but we just met." Doni jokingly said with a chuckle.

"oh that's ok, you couldnt handle me anyway."

he laughed so loud i swear i felt it verberate through my feet.

he said "i wouldnt handle you? oh honey its the other way around."

"HA! yea OK."

shortly after Doni helped me around the bus to help me memorize everything, he then helped me get my nightwear together; dark blue sleeping shorts with silver stars, and a black tank top with a pink flamingo. {but of course i couldnt see this}.

he then helped me to the bathroom. He told me where my soaps were and which was which.

he actually took a glue gun and put anitials on each one so i would know which one was what.

the condition had a 'C' at the top, shampoo had an 'S', and the body oil just seemed really bad and i began to laugh hard.

"what's so funny?" he asked from the other side of the door.

"for something that smells so good, you made it sound very unpleasant."

"what are you talking about?" he asked.

i began laughing again, "you...you put B.O for my body oil"

"oh no," he said laughing "i feel so stupid."

"it's ok it will be an inside joke just between us two." i said.

i then opened the door. i dont know why, but i could feel like his eyes were stairing at me, all of me, and i felt kinda shy but cute, i couldnt help but blush for some reason.

its so weird how i feel this way.

he cleared his throat,

"so when is your doctor friend com-" before i could finish someone was knocking on the bus door.
