Chapter 7
Mort was pacing up and down in his room. He kept thinking about what happened between Julia and him the other day. The problem was that he hadn't seen her for three long days now and he was getting impatient.
'Well done! You've finally found a way to scare her of!' his inner voice said to him mockingly.
'Don't talk to me…'he whispered as he continued his pacing.
'Why not? There's no one else in here. Besides, I don't think she'll come back here after what you did!
'I didn't do anything…'he mumbled confused.
'Oh, I think you did! I think you tried to kiss her and you succeeded.' the voice said again.
'So what? She said she wanted me to…I didn't do anything wrong!' he said as he fumbled with the green robe Julia had given him. He wore it everyday and only took it of when it was necessary.
'And now she doesn't want to see you… I mean…us!'
'No! She might have been busy…maybe she's sick…Oh God! What if she is sick?' he said desperately as he sat on his bed.
'Face it mate! She doesn't want to see you again! She works here! You scared her…'the voice said tiredly.
'No…she said she wasn't afraid of me…she said she is my friend…'he mumbled angrily.
'Oh, come on Morty! Who would she want to be close to you? You're dangerous and you know it! Now she knows it too!'
'No…no I would never hurt her! I…I love her…I love her so much…' he whispered brokenly as he put his face in his hands.
'Really? Mort's in love? You remember what happened to the other woman you said you loved her? She ended up dead, mate!'
'No! I could never hurt her! She isn't Amy! I… wasn't myself…I didn't know what I was doing…I'm sorry for that…'he said shaking his head in despair.
'And now you are well? I don't think so. Just face it, she isn't coming back! She hates you! People are right…'
'Shut up! You don't know her! She cares for me…she wouldn't leave me alone…'he said to the voice as he put the robe closer around himself.
'You really think so? Well…you'll see that I'm right…'
'Please…just leave me alone…'he muttered through greeted teeth.
Miraculously the voice stopped and Mort lied on his bed and curled in to a ball.
'Oh god…Julie…where are you?' he said desperately as closed his eyes and fell into a troubled sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Mort woke up when he felt a soft hand on his cheek. He whimpered and slowly opened his eyes. There, in front of him stood his angel, smiling down at him.
'Julie…'he whispered desperately.
'Hello Mort. How are you? You're always up before breakfast. Are you okay?' she asked him softly.
He nodded his head as he couldn't take his eyes of her. It was like he was seeing her for the first time. He was drinking her in.
'Where…where you? Why didn't you come for three days?' he asked her while taking her hand in his.
'I had to go to the hospital.' she said softly looking at him fondly.
'Hospital? Are you all right?' he asked her, sitting up on the bed.
'Yes, I'm fine. It was my mother. She broke her arm and I had to be there.' she said, smiling at his concern for her person.
'I thought… that you wouldn't…come back, Julie.' he whispered brokenly holding her hand tightly.
'Why did you think that?' she asked as she sat next to him on the bed.
'Because…I thought you were mad at me.' he said looking down at his lap.
'Mad? Why would I be mad?' she asked confused.
'Because I kissed you the other day…'he said looking at her shyly.
'Well you were wrong. I'm not mad at you. I enjoyed it that you kissed me.' she said laughing.
He smiled widely when he heard her laugh and came closer to her as if to hug her but he was too uncertain to actually do it. She must have sensed his dilemma and made the first move. She put her arms around him and gently, like he was a child, brought him to her. She had actually missed him a lot these days. He hugged her back immediately and buried his face in her hair as he clutched her close to his body. He wanted human contact, he craved it desperately. She put her hands in his soft but messy hair and started petting it gently.
'I missed you, Mort…'she whispered into his ear, sending shivers down his spine as her warm breath hit the exposed skin of his neck and ear.
'Really? I missed you too…a lot.' he said softly as he felt again the desire to kiss her again but he was afraid to so.
They sat like that for a while with Julia running her hands through his hair repeatedly. He nuzzled her neck with his nose as he gave a soft whimper like a kitten and she giggled.
'Mort? Can I ask you a small favor?' she said softly.
'Anything…'he whispered smiling as he smelled her hair.
'Um…can I have a kiss?' she whispered shyly.
He moved back to look at her and he saw that she was serious. He nodded his head in agreement and moved his lips to kiss her cheek but she stopped him with a finger on his lips.
'No…no there. I want one…here…'she said as she traced his full lips with her fingertip softly.
His eyes went wide and he swallowed hard but nodded his head in agreement once again. He could never say no to her. He leaned in and brushed his lips against hers softly as shudder went through him at the contact. He put a hand hesitantly on her thigh and rubbed it there in small circles. She returned the kiss and put her arms around him. He hummed happily as she deepened the kiss and wounded her hands into his hair, massaging his scalp softly, tenderly. He pressed her closer to him and caressed her cheek with his hand tenderly. She moved back a little and smiled at him before bringing her soft lips to his neck. He tilted his head back to give her more access and moaned softly bringing his hands to the back of her head, keeping it there gently. Finally she moved back and he emitted a low whimper of disappointment at the loss of contact.
'Thank you.' she said to him smiling warmly.
He nodded, still a little dazed from her kisses and smiled back.
'So…I have to go. God knows what they would do if they knew I was here for so long!' she said standing up from the bed, already missing the warmth of his embrace and his tender kiss upon her lips.
He looked at her lovingly and smiled sadly, disappointed that she was leaving. She saw him pouting and she kissed the top of his head softly making him close his eyes at the gentle gesture.
'Don't worry. I'll be back later. I promise.' she whispered into his hair before moving away.
'Okay.' he whispered smiling at her until the door closed and she disappeared from his view.
