Chapter Thirty-Nine: Crisa
665 Words
I woke myself up when I almost rolled onto my injured side. I was disoriented at first and then I noticed that there was an arm draped over me. I contemplated freaking out for a second, but anyone breaking in wouldn’t just lay there arm over me in a protective manner so I followed the arm to look at the person it belongs to. When I saw his face I was shocked that he was here with me much less sleeping peacefully in bed next to me. He actually came back and stayed with me. I was not expecting that.
I tried to move again, but was still in pain from almost rolling onto my injured side. When I let out a pain filled groan Storm jumped up with a worried expression and started asking questions, “are you okay? What hurts? Do you need anything? Did I hurt you?” I just shook my head and smiled at him before saying, “yes I’m okay. I accidentally tried to roll onto my injured side. You didn’t do anything to hurt me. Although some Tylenol, water, and food sound good right now. Well maybe after a bathroom break.” He jumped up and grabbed some Tylenol and water handing it to me to take. Once I did that he helped me over to the bathroom and I literally had to kick him out so I could use the bathroom alone.
When I opened the bathroom door he was standing next to it ready to help me back into bed. Before we got to the bed I said, “can you take me to the living room and maybe watch a movie with me? I’ve been sleeping for damn near three days and I want a change at least for a little bit. We can order food and watch a movie.” He looked at me like he was contemplating whether to let me leave the room or put me back in bed. I gave him my best attempt at batting my eyes at him in an attempt to convince him. His look changed as he caved and said, “ okay, but there are conditions. Condition number one no girlie romance movies. Condition number two no sleeping on the couch. Condition number three you can order whatever you want to eat, but I’m paying.” I thought about it for a second before nodding my head yes and he helped me out to the living room.
As soon as we made it to the living room he ordered two pizzas and I snuck a three orders of Mexican shrimp tempura sushi with some shrimp fried rice. After the food order was placed he went to grab some drinks from the kitchen while I picked out some movies to watch. When he gets back I show him the choices of Candyman, John Wick 3, King Arthur Legend of the Sword, or Gunpowder Milkshake. He ended up choosing Candyman and right before we started the movie the doorbell rang. He went to get the food and came back with a surprised look on his face because of the extra food that I ordered.
He looked at me for a moment before saying, “ you ordered extra food secretly. Why didn’t you just tell me so I could pay for it? I would have bought you anything and everything that you wanted.” I looked at him with regret feeling kind of bad that I went behind his back, but I’m not used to anyone buying me food that isn’t family. With those thoughts in mind I looked at him and said, “I’m sorry. I’m not used to relying on anyone other than my closest friends and family. Even the short relationships that I have had I always ended up buying stuff for myself. I will try to let that go and allow you to pay for things when you want. Now can we eat I’m starving.”
