Ellie had been sitting by Seth's bedside she was playing a game on her phone.
Seth woke up and just watched her. Although he was in extreme pain he felt happy to see her there.
"You playing Angry birds?" He asked
Ellie looked up" Your're awake!" She hugged him
"that hurt. " Seth said
"Oh! Sorry…" Ellie got up and went to call his doctor
"Seth, glad you are awake. You took a big big fall there" Said the Doctor checking out his paper work
"When can I wrestle again? When can I leave?" Asked Seth
"Well you have a few fractures which will keep you out for a few weeks. You can leave the hospital but you need to stay in the Chicago area for a few days since we need more tests done. I will have a nurse come in" The doctor walked out
"are you going to tell me I told you so?" Said Seth looking at Ellie
"I Could…but I have a feeling all the pain you are feeling is reminder enough" She smiled at him.
"I want to sit up" Seth was wiggling trying to sit him self up
Ellie helped him
Seth smelled her hair and closed his eyes
"Thanks. I need to call the hotel to extend my stay" Said Seth
"You offend me. You are staying with me at my place." Said Ellie
Seth laughed a bit "ok ma'm"
They spent the rest of the night watching movies and Seth rest. The next day they left to Ellie's home.
Ellie helped him into bed
"Ells I can take the couch" Seth insisted
"No you need room, it's fine. I fall asleep on my couch all the time" She sat by his side "Anything you need?"
"We can share a bed. We're grown people we should be fine sharing a bed" Seth patted the space next to him
"Ok… " Ellie went and got into her pajamas and got in bed next to him
Seth smiled at her
"Thank you Ells." He scratcher head
Wasn't long before Ellie had fallen asleep, she had been keeping watch all night at the hospital and was extremely tired.
Seth watched her sleep before falling asleep himself
He woke up the next morning and saw she wasn't there
"This is a thing for her I guess" He said to himself.
She walked in with his breakfast
"You say something?" She said
"No, just walking to myself" He smiled.
"We need to chance your bandages" Said Ellie nervously
"OK, be gentle. " Seth laughed and lifted his shirt so she could get access to the bandages he had on his ribs.
Ellie started taking off the bandages being as gentle as possible.
Ellie wasn't sure if she was more nervous about changing the bandages or about being so close to his naked chest torso.
Seth watched and smiled to himself he loved to know he still had that effect on her.
He stood up slowly "I am going to go take a shower and then you can put on the new bandages"
Ellie waited near by in case he needed her help.
After his shower Seth walked out in nothing more than a towel.
Ellie looked around the room trying not to stare
He smiled to himself
"Forgot to bring my clothes in with me. " He said slipping on a pair of shorts and getting back into bed
Ellie walked over and started putting on the bandages.
Seth watched her. Part of him hoped she would take a long time because he was enjoying having her this close but another part needed her to hurry because he didn't know if he could control himself much longer.
"Ellie..I am sorry about how I acted at the restaurant. I just had it bottled up inside and seeing you like that just caused it all to explode" Seth took her hand
Ellie bit her lip. If there was anything that drove Seth crazier than Ellie calling him Mr. Rollins, it was Ellie biting her lip.
"It's ok I understand where you were coming from and I am sorry for leaving the way I did. You are right and I should of at least had the courage to talk to you" she looked at him. "Bandages are done" She stood up
Seth was sad that she was done. Seth was very grateful for how loving and caring she was being, after all he was nothing to her at this point and she didn't have to do it.
Later that day after dinner Seth was watching TV on the couch and Ellie came and sat on the other end of the couch
Seth knew his time with her was running out and he would be given the all clear to go back on the road as long as he didn't wrestle.
Ellie looked at him "You comfortable? Need anything?" She leaned over him to grab the throw blanket
Seth grabbed her arm and kissed her. Deciding it was not worth pretending he could get over her.
Ellie was caught off guard but welcomed the kiss
Seth pulled her to him deepening the kiss.
She was being careful not to hurt him.
"I need you, Ellie..I need you so fucking bad" He kissed her again
Ellie leaned over him kissing him she climbed on his lap slowly.
Seth slid his hand under her shirt, massaging her breast and teasing her nipples
Ellie kissed his neck
"Not sure how useful I am going to be with all these injuries" Seth said
Ellie smirked and rubbed him through his pants
"He seems to be in working order" Ellie kissed him lowering his pants
Seth removed Ellie's panties and lowered her onto him slowly, praying it wouldn't hurt.
Ellie rode him slowly I am and Seth reached in between them to rub her clit.
Ellie tilted her head back in pleasure and moaned.
Seth loved watching her.
After they had both finished. Seth kissed her again.
"I love you, Ellie. I can't fool myself any longer." He looked into her eyes
"I love you too, Seth..so much" She smiled and climbed off of him.
They went to bed that night in each other's arms.
Seth was kept away of the thought that he was going back on the road. These past few days with Ellie had been heaven and he didn't want it to end.
