Could you take care, of a broken soul? Will you hold me now? Will you take me home?
She'd been in the hospital just over a week now all she wanted to do was go home, some old woman keeps coming in talking to her about her dog Carla keeps calling it Shih Tzu although it's not really its a Bichion Friese not that it mattered to Carla.
"Carla? Is it okay to come in?" Nick says as he opens the door leading to her hospital room, same smile he always has covering his face whenever he's around her, she just gives off that vibe and its infectious.
"Of course it is, come here" she says as she moves over on the bed slightly and pats the space next to her for him to sit down, just wanting to be close to him, she missed him. He kisses her the same way he always does when he hasn't seen her for a while, the sensation leaving her lips tingling, she'd missed his kiss.
"So, are you ready to come home?" He says, She sighs as she rests her against his shoulder, and looks up at him and smiles.
"Ready as I'll ever be Nicholas" she laughs as does he. He helps her off the bed and pulls her gently towards him, placing a lingering kiss on her forehead and mumbling something that sounds suspiciously like I've missed you. And he has, he's missed her more than he lets on, he's had to be strong for her.
The drive home was a lot shorter than she first thought. He doesn't let her carry anything, to afraid she may injure herself some more, it was if he was afraid of her breaking. They walk slowly up the stairs to their flat, placing her bags down on the floor and the keys on the coffee table the sound they make was almost a comfort to her.
"Go sit on the sofa, I'll bring you a tea" he says smiling at her as he takes her coat from her and hangs it up, he watches her as she takes a seat on the sofa and attempts to make her self comfortable, well as comfortable as possible. As she cover her self with the black and white cover that was on there
He walks over to her and places her mug on the table and takes a seat next to her, pulling her back gently as he holds her in his arms, the warmth from him comforting her instantly as she lays her head against his chest, he takes her hand in his and gives it a gentle squeeze, the sound of his heart beating beneath her was soothing, as she lets her eyes drift shut, as he strokes her hair.
It's a little while later when she wakes "Nick.." She mumbles turning head to see him.
"Hey.. Hey, hey, it's okay" he soothes her "I'm here" he whispers as he strokes her hair to relax her, and it does, making her self comfortable, she sighs and he feels it.
"Can I get you anything?" He says and she shakes her head as she buries he head further in to his chest. "Another drink? Some grapes?"
"No, thankyou." She says instantly smiling remembering him bringing her grapes while she was in hospital "cuddly toy?" He says bringing her out of her thoughts.
"Tilsley! Will you stop" she says chuckling the smile hasn't left her face since she got home. "Me?" He says looking down at her smiling "oh yes, you" he leans down and kisses her. She was home.
