Chapter 8 - Hospital Bed

Tom is sitting beside Emma, Jenifer is on the other side of the big and bulky bed. "How are you?" asks Tom gently and polity, "I... look, I know that we don't know each other well and that it's like my first time seeing you and so on, so I'm sorry if this was all of a sudden, I just got worried, because maybe you would become my friend someday and like.... you could change everything, you get me" Tom adds. "What are you talking about?..." Emma asks with a confused look in her face,"... darn it, I fucked up..." Tom says, angry and disappointed at himself, "you fucked what up.... Tom, right? Is it to?" says Emma curiously, "yeah, it's Tom... I fucked up my first impression" Tom tells Emma, "your first impression... on me?" Emma questions nervously, "yeah, I'm sorry," Tom tells Emma. "You don't have to be sorry, happens to me too all the time, don't worry" Emma tries to comfort Tom, "I'm glad that you understand how it feels, it's really hard to like... talk to a stranger, it's kinda nerve-racking, if you get me" Tom explains to Emma, "yeah, I totally get you, and I have had that feeling many times, not the best feeling when you accidentally spill glue on some strangers pants and you have to tell them sorry and so on...." Emma explains to Tom ".... don't ask" she quickly adds as she begins to giggle. "Okay..." says Tom as he begins to smile. "Are you okay Emma?" asks Jenifer, "I do feel better, still a bit dizzy and tired tho" answers, Emma, "oh, should I go...?" asks Tom "so that you can rest" he adds, "I mean, if you want to, I don't mind" says Emma. "Yeah, I'll leave you to rest, bye for now, see you later possibly," Tom tells Emma. "Bye Tom" Emma waves.

Tom opens the door of the room and goes out, as soon as the doors close behind Tom, Jenifer begins talking, "looks like he likes you Ems" says Jenifer "Ems?" asks Emma confused, "it's my nickname for you.... you don't mind right?" Jenifer asks, "no, no, it actually sounds cool!... Ems, I like it... but I do prefer Emma haha" Emma tells Jenifer, "anyways.... back to the topic!" said Jenifer, eagerly, "it looks like he likes you, Emma!" Jenifer says with excitement. "Pfff, me? He likes me? Don't be ridiculous" says Emma as she begins to laugh at the fact that Tom might like her. "But what if he does Emma, what are you gonna do then?" Jenifer asks, "let's face it, he never will! He is way too busy with those 'Club Mwah' girls" Emma explains to Jenifer, "well... I guess, he is always around that girl... what's her name?..." says Jenifer, "how on earth am I meant to know! haha" Emma answers quickly, "not you stupid, I'm asking myself... BTW I'm only kidding you are not stupid" answers Jenifer. "I know..." says Emma as she smiles, "oh my... what's her name!? It's on the top of my tongue" says Jenifer "..... Kaya! That's it, Kaya" adds Jenifer. "Yeah, I would have never guessed..." said Emma. "Well... I think I should go now, and leave you to rest, huh?" asks Jenifer, "I honestly don't know, although I am kinda tired... but I don't know... at least I have a pen and paper beside me" says Emma "so that if you leave, I won't be bored as hell" adds Emma. "So that's a yes, anyway, you have some rest and I will come by again.... with your significant other... hehe" says Jenifer, "ahh, shut up Jenifer" says Emma as she laughs "Tom is not my significant other" she adds, "no, not Tom" says Jenifer "I might come along with Maxine, if she wants to" adds Jenifer with a slightly confused look on her face, "oh Maxine!! How is my sugar cake?" asks Emma. "She is very good, always gives me kissies!" answers Jenifer, "yeah, that's my girl!" says Emma, "please, can you bring her along?" asks Emma, "well I mean if she wants to," says Jenifer. "If she does not, give her a ton of kisses, and tell her that they were from mommy.... me, okay?" Emma explains to Jenifer. "Okay, now rest, okay?" Jenifer tells Emma, "I will don't worry," Emma tells Jenifer, "okay, but for now! Jenifer tells Emma, "Bye!" Emma tells Jenifer.

Emma is now by herself, alone in her room, "I miss Maxine.... my pet dog... I just hope I will get out of here really soon..." Emma thinks to herself. Emma gets one if the many pages that the nurse gave her to write on from the night table, an arm's length away from the bed, she begins to think of what to write, or if she wants to do a diary entry, or just do something random, "I... I guess I'm in a mood to write a poem" she says to herself. "Let's begin," she tells herself as she begins. Emma was writing for about ten minutes when she went back to check how it sounds like, "okay, let's see!" she gives herself hope, she begins to read out "My hospital bed is doing my head, as I am about to take a med from my hospital bed, for my head, if feel so tense, because of this immense pain in my head, as I am lying here without you in my hospital bed, I want you to come here to cure my head, to make me laugh in my hospital bed, I need you here, to support me in my bed, as I am about to take a med, in my hospital bed, that is doing my head." Emma finished off the poem, "Ummm... I don't know... is it good..." Emma asks herself, "maybe I should add this..." she thinks of a continuation, "okay so..." Emma begins "I really want you here, because you can bang me on this hospital bed while I play dead on the hospital bed, we both moan louder, as you push in harder, until...." Emma gets interrupted by the door opening, "how are you?... can I pop in?" asks Tom. "Yeah, sure, and I am better, thanks for asking" answers, Emma, "I also bought you a chocolate milkshake, I heard from a good source that you like everything chocolaty, especially chocolate milkshakes" Tom tells Emma as he approaches the bed, "whoever told you that is wrong" Emma answers, "wait, what? Do you want something else then, I can get you like a... coffee?" Tom answers, "awe, you are so cute, no Tom, I love chocolaty things, you said I like, but I love... get it?.... I know, not the best joke" Emma explains to Tom, "oh okay... you scared me there for a moment! Haha, another impression failure" says Tom, "yeah, I know, I may or may have not deliberately done that prank" says Emma. "You prankster! I'm gonna get you too one day" says Tom to Emma. Emma looks at Tom, and Tom looks at Emma, "your eyes... they look like the ocean, anyone could get lost in them" Tom says, feeling flirty, "yeah, I know... haha" answers back Emma, "well then, you would also know that you have the most beautiful lips and cheeks that I have ever seen" Tom says feeling more flirty, "I am sorry... I got hypnotized by you.... your beauty, and you are single?" said Tom, "Yeah, single.... and lonely, I... I just want a partner who would be there for me, who would love me, whom I can hug, kiss and fuck with, you know" says Emma. "So a serious relationship, huh?" Tom asks curiously, "pretty much, yeah" answers Emma," yourself?" she asks, "well, believe it or not... I am single too" Tom says surprised at himself, "wait what!?" says Emma, "I... I mean, a sexy hunk like you single?... You lie... look at you, your face says it all 'not single', you look way too hot" Emma says as she tries to look away, "wha... what happened? You looking away? I wonder what would happen if I... *unbuttons his shirt* huh?" says Tom as he begins to look at Emma with a sexy look in his eyes. "Boy, don't tease me *quickly turns around* oh god... nope *turns back around*" says Emma laughing, "so you don't want this?" asks Tom, teasing Emma, "dude, I'm not even eighteen!" Emma tells Tom as she begins to laugh, "wait, what!? I swear, you look 19, no joke" said Tom, "yup... excuses excuses" Emma jokes around with Tom, "well then, I'm sorry, my abs are currently not on sale for you haha" Tom teases Emma, "and so are my boobs" Emma answers back, "you naughty girl, tut, tut, tut" Tom jokes around with Emma, "anyways, back to the topic, tell me, what do you like?" Tom asks Emma, "well I like.... boys... art.... umm.... drawing and writing" answers Emma, "you?" asks Emma, "well I like girls, I like some, you know... sports" answers Tom, "oh, what sports" Emma asks curiously, "well, rugby, Gaelic, and I love push-ups.... in bed and someone is at the bottom" Tom answers as he begins laughing, "dude *laughs* no, you are so perverted.... and so am I" says Emma, "well then, we have a few things in common, don't we?" asks Tom, "I guess" answers Emma. "Well, I'm gonna leave you now to rest, see you very soon, remember, sleep is good, okay?" Tom explains to Emma as he begins to laugh a bit, "bye Tom" Emma waves at Tom. As Tom leaves and the door closes behind him Emma begins to think to herself "so I like Tom now... ugh, life is hard... but sweet, Tom is so sexy and.... and hot, ahhh.... and he is not bad at all, he is a fun person to hang around with... surprisingly".
