Lee comes back all tired and sore. They help me to the jeep and we leave to go home. Since we left all our cars at Lee’s house we head over there first. That way I can get my car and Lee is home safe and sound. Brent and I leave and we both drive over to my house. I my little Beetle and Brent helps me to the door. I unlock it and we go in. I flip on the switch in the entryway and we go sit down in the living room.
“You hungry?” I ask him.
“Yeah. What do you have to eat?”
“Leftovers.”
“Okay. As long as it’s not Josh’s cooking.”
“Don’t worry it’s my mom’s,” I assure him.
Brent helps me out to the kitchen and we warm up some leftovers. After we eat, I ask Brent to get my clothes I packed upstairs. He goes to get them and I wash up the dishes and put them away. My leg is killing me by now, but I don’t’ want him to know it hurts this bad. I head to the corner cabinet and grab the bottle of aspirin. Then I get myself a glass of water and take two tablets. When he gets back he tries to kiss me, but I step back on my leg and collapse onto the chair.
“Oh my gosh, are you alright? Does it hurt that bad?” he asks.
“Yeah.”
“Well then you’re not going anywhere without going to the doctor’s first. You can stay with me tonight and I’ll take you in the morning. No objections. Now come on, let’s go.”
He helps me up, grabs my stuff an we head for his jeep. We drive over to his new house. Upon opening the door, my phone rings. Brent puts my stuff down and helps me to the couch as I answer my phone.
“Hey, Laura!”
“What are you doing? When are you coming over?”
“I’m not going to be able to.”
“Why not?” she asks.
“Brent, Lee, and I went snowboarding today and I fell and Brent thinks I broke my leg. He’s making me stay with him for tonight. He’s taking me to the doctor tomorrow. So I guess I’m not coming to school tomorrow either. I’m not allowed to object either.”
“I’ll get you your homework from our classes and don’t do anything stupid to hurt your leg more.”
“I won’t. Don’t worry. See ya.”
“Bye!” she says.
Brent comes in with a bag of peas to put on my leg and tells me he set up an x-ray for tomorrow morning. We decide to watch Pearl Harbor, so he gets up and puts the DVD in and comes and sits down next to me. We watch the first disc and start talking about everything that happened today.
“So I had fun, how about you?” I ask him.
He says, “Yeah, I especially like when you said ‘yes’ to my question.”
“What do you want me to say yes again?”
“I don’t care.” This time he kisses me. I kiss him back. He picks me up, when the phone rings. He answers it and hands it to me.
“Hello,” I say, “Mom!”
“Hey, baby girl, are you okay? I heard you hurt yourself snowboarding.”
“Yeah, Brent thinks I broke my leg and won’t even let me walk on it.”
“Well I agree with him. You shouldn’t walk on it. You are going to the doctor’s tomorrow I expect.”
“Yeah, Brent’s taking me tomorrow. He already scheduled an appointment fro ten tomorrow morning.”
“Well listen to him, and don’t do anything stupid.”
“Okay, bye.”
“Bye, see you in two weeks.”
“Love Ya.”
Then I give the phone to Brent and he hangs it up and picks me up again. He carries me upstairs and gets a bath ready for me. Then he carries me into the bathroom and sits me on the toilet seat and says, “This should make your leg feel better, call me when you get in. So I hop into the tub. I call him and he sits down outside the door and we talk.
“So can you move it all?”
“Not really, but this is really nice of you.”
“Hey it’s worth it if you really do like me.”
After a while I yell to him to get me a towel.
“Okay let me go get one,” he replies.
“Hurry back!”
“Alright here’s your towel. Let me know if you need any help once you get out. I put your bag of clothes next to the toilet.”
“Thanks, Brent.”
“I’ll be in my room call me if you need me.”
I get dressed and call him to come in and help me.
“Okay. Now I’m ready for you to carry me to the guest bed.” he comes in and carries me to the bed, “Okay. Hey we never got to finish our kiss. You want to?”
“Sure, but first I am going to go get you some ice for your knee. Just stay here. I’ll be right back.”
“Hey, can you bring me some aspirin, too, please?”
“Sure.”
He comes right back and hands me some ice for my leg along with a glass of water and two aspirin. Then he sits down next to me on the bed and asks, “You sure you’re comfortable here?”
“Yeah, but I’m not exactly warm.”
“Well we can fix that.” Then he kisses me and the phone rings again. What’s up with this does the universe not want us to kiss or something. This time it’s his parents wanting to know what he’s doing tomorrow. He tells them he’s taking me to get a x-ray in the morning, but we could meet them for lunch at Lucy’s.
He hangs up and we go back to where we left off, but we stop and he says, “I think I am going to sleep on the floor tonight. Just incase you need me.”
It gets quiet for a while and then I say, “Why? There’s enough room up here in the bed. After all it is a king-size. We will still have lots of room away from each other.”
“Fine, are you sure?” he asks.
“Yes,” I reply.
“Okay, let me go change quick.”
“Alright.” He comes back and tucks me in. Then he gets in. We say goodnight, as it is already eleven o’clock, and we go to sleep.
