"Thank you Blondie." he says.
"you're welcome." I smile at him and lean back waiting for sleep to come.
Once I eat I usually fall right to sleep.
"oh before I forget. I got a little something for you."he says as he stands and walk over to the door where he dropped his coat and grabs something from one of the pockets.
He stands at the foot of the bed and looks at me.
"i saw this and I immediately thought of you." he says as he sits back down beside me and hands it over to me.
I sit up and collect the wrapped gift with shaking hands.
He looks at my hand and looks me worried.
"are you okay?" he asks.
"yes.. why?" I look up from the gift to his face.
"your hands are shaking." he says.
"i am just surprised. This is so nice. Why would you do that? All of this? Waiting by my bed and coming to see without fail everyday. You dont even know me." I tell him gripping the gift with both of my hands.
"yeah. I dont need to know you to want to protect you. You are all alone in this world and we all need somebody dont we?"he asks.
"yes. But still..." I start to speak but my throat tightens with the tears and I am holding back with every bit of me. I dont want to start crying and make him feel bad that he made me cry.
"this is so sweet. Thank you." I tell him again brushing the pink wrapping paper with the pads of my hands.
"you have not even opened it yet how are you sure you are going to even like it?" he asks.
"no matter what it is I am sure Im going to like it very well." I tell him.
