Hazel POV
I wake up on the couch in Issac's room. I look down at my watch and realize that Issac's surgery isl almost over. He went in at 9 this morning, and was supposed to be out at 12. I walk over the door and enter the hallway. I walk over to the front desk, and ask how his surgery is going. The nurse says that he is on his way back down to his room.
I fill up with excitement when she tells me this. I can only hope he can see me. When I see him enter his room. I jump up and rush over to the doctor. " When will you be able to remove the bandages", I ask. "Before he when into surgery he requested not to remove them until you were with him.", the doctor replies.
I hold back tears at hearing the sweet comment. The doctor slowly reveals Issac's eyes. They flutter open and his soft brown eyes stare at me. "Hazel?", he asks. "Yes Issac it's me, I'm here." The doctor exits the room, and closes the door. He takes my hand. "I can see you Hazel, for the first time I can see you.", he says."Well do you like what you see?", I ask him. "Now I know why Gus loved you, your so beautiful.", he replies.
He slowly stands up and pulls me into a strong embrace. I wonder if he remembers me kissing him before surgery. "Thank you, for the good luck kiss.", he says. I blush when says this. He lets go of me and takes my hand. "Well I guess it worked.", I say. He puts his hand on my cheek, and pulls me in for a soft kiss. This is my first official kiss with someone besides Gus. He pulls away and stares into my eyes. For the first time since Gus died, my life feels complete.
Gus POV
I awaken to Carolinian's soft voice telling me to get up. I look up at her and meet her for a kiss. I get up and follow her to her kitchen. I look at the table filled with breakfast. " Did you cook all this?", I ask. "Yes I did , and just for you.", she replies. I sit beside her and begin to eat the french toast. My heart bursts with joy just knowing she would do all this just for me. When we finish, I thank her for the meal. I stand up and take her hand. I pull her to the living room and sit down by her on the couch.
I lay my hand on her knee, and stare into her beautiful eyes. I lean in and kiss her, deeper and deeper. A feeling of wanting whelms up in my stomach. She pulls away and asks if I'm sure. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life.", I reply. I begin to kiss her again. I stand up and continue kissing her as we stumble to her room.
She pulls my shirt over my head, and continues kissing me. I take her hand and walk into her room, shutting the door behind me. This night will be perfect.
Hazel POV
I call my mom and tell her the surgery went great. Issac takes my hand when I say this. I tell her I'll be staying at a hotel tonight, and I'll be driving back tomorrow. A huge smile comes over his face, knowing he'll be staying with me. I tell her bye and hangup. Just as I do the doctor opens the door." "You can check out when your ready to leave, your vitals are stable I think your ready to leave."He walks back out the door. Issac's mom tell him to stay in town in case something happens. Then she kisses his forehead, and leaves.
"Well I don't have anywhere to stay so I guess I'll have to crash at your place", he says with a boyish grin." I guess you will.", I reply before I kiss him. We walk over to the front desk to confirm his checkout. Then we walk over to the elevator, and go down to the garage. We walk over to my car and he get's in on the passenger side.
When I get in I put on my seat belt and back out of the garage. When we reach a red light, I look over at him. I could tell how new everything looked to him. "I''ll teach you how to drive,when your ready.", I say, "That would be great, then I could drive you to the movies or something.", he reply's. "The doctor said I would be able to drive in 2 to 3 weeks I'll teach you then.", I say as the light turns green.
When we reach the hotel he gets our bags, and we walk into the lobby. I check in and hand him my credit card. Then the woman gives us our key and we walk over to the elevator. I push the 3 and wait for the elevator to reach our floor. Then a wave of nervousness comes over me. This will be our first night together.
