Dangers Back (sequel to "Danger")

"I'm so going to hell for this,"

“Doesn’t hurt to add a little more time, right?” Brushing my fingertips against his forehead, I pushed back his floppy hair. “You didn’t gel them back.” I pointed out.

“Eh, I was too lazy.”

Smiling softly, I perched my hand over his waist, leaning against it. “Are you going to be okay?”

“Now that I’m home,” He grinned, taking my other hand and pressing a sweet kiss to the top of it, laying it down on his stomach.

Taking it upon myself to undress him, I began unbuttoning his shirt, knowing he would be more comfortable in a t-shirt and sweats then what he was wearing now. “I missed you every minute.”

“How could you if you spent every minute at the hospital?”

“Eh, hospitals freak me out and aren’t necessarily the nicest place to be in nor is it private. I missed being alone with you without all the nurses monitoring you…” Trailing off as I undid the last button and pushed the open ends of the shirt aside, I felt my breath hitch in my throat the moment my eyes laid on the covered bullet wounds on his chest.

 

Justin’s Point of View:

Fuck, I inwardly spat to myself the second I caught her eyes on my chest. The way her entire aurora changed made my stomach churn. “You okay?” I mumbled, despite the closing in my throat.

Pulling her bottom lip into her mouth, I could tell she was fighting the urge to cry. Blinking twice, Kelsey covered my chest once more with my shirt. “I should go get you’re your pajamas.”

“No,” I hissed, grabbing her hand before she could stand and keeping her still, “Sit down.” I ordered gently.

Waiting until she sat back down, I peered up at her, my heart dropping at the fear in her eyes. “You’re going to get what?”

Fidgeting, Kelsey looked at anything but me, “Pajamas. You need something to sleep in.”

“I have a bed to sleep in and a girlfriend to sleep with.” I stated the obvious, pulling her to me so that she could look me in the eyes. When she did, I swallowed, “What’s got you so scared?”

Looking down at her hands, Kelsey shook her head, standing up from the bed. “You should sleep.”

“What? You’re just going to walk away from me now? Leave me to sleep alone by myself?” I followed her lead as she walked around the bed.

Turning, she slumped her shoulders, “No, I was going to go get your medicine so that I can put it next to the bed.”

Closing my eyes, I willed myself to stay calm, knowing I’m going to have to take this slow with her being that this was the first time anything like this has ever happened. “Come here.”
