Bobby's Love

Loor moved her head slightly to get comfortable in Bobby's lap. Bobby put his arms around her stomach

"Why don't you stop moving? It will make things easier." He whispered.

"Sorry. I just can't stay still for too long. I don't know why. Ahh!" Loor yelled in pain.

"What is it?" Bobby asked.

"My leg. It hurts." Loor said through gritted teeth. "It will be okay. All I have to do is treat your wound and it will be gone before you know it. All I have to do is love you." Bobby said with his cheek against the top of her head.

Loor smiled. "Thanks Bobby." She whispered. Bobby nodded. "You are welcome. Here. Get some rest. While you sleep I will clean your wound." He said.

Loor nodded. "Okay." She slid off her lap and stood on one foot. "Just sleep in my bed. Don't worry about going to the other side of the house. Lay down." Bobby ordered standing up.

Loor laid down and looked at Bobby. "You like being able to order me around, don't you?" She asked.

Bobby smiled. "Just a little." He said. Loor sighed and shook her head. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Bobby left the room to get bandages and came back. He sat down on the bed next to Loor and pulled the bandage off of her leg.

"Whoa!" Bobby said.

Loor's wound was healing by itself, slowly. She didn't awaken either.

Bobby threw the bandages away and sat back down next to her.

"This must be what Saint Dane meant when he said love was the only cure." Bobby whispered. Loor smiled. "It is." She whispered with her eyes closed.

Bobby looked at her. "I know," He said. "But, I still can't believe what he said about your mother." Loor nodded. "Me neither." She agreed now with her eyes open.

"Bobby?"

"Loor."

"If you really love me, why don't you come and sleep next to me? I feel lonely." Loor said.

Bobby smiled. "Okay." He climbed in the bed next to her.

"Thank you Bobby." She whispered and turned on her side to face him. She closed her eyes again and laid her head on his chest.

Bobby put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. They both fell asleep.
