Chapter 21 recovering
''the girl…..who was she? what did she meant?''.
You heard a vague voice somewhere around you, but you didn't want to react, you were way too tired.
''sweetie please wake up, you need to eat something before you die of hunger'' you heard the professor say.
''hmmm…don't want to…too tired'' you mumbled.
He chuckled.
''you can sleep again after you ate something'' he said.
You slowly opened your eyes and groaned. The light of the sun shone into the room, being way to bright for your eyes.
''luke could you please close the curtains'' the professor said immediately noticing you discomfort with the sunlight.
''sure thing professah'' luke said.
You heard some footsteps and the curtains being shoved aside. You sighed as darkness fell over your eyes.
''that's better'' you whispered.
the professor chuckled again.
''come now, open up'' he said with a hint of amusement in his voice.
You opened your eyes and closed them again.
''you mean my mouth or my eyes''? you asked clearly irritated.
''eyes first then mouth please'' he said.
You groaned some more and opened your eyes. you saw the professor sitting on the edge of the bed next to you with a brown-ish looking pudding. You sat up straight, immediately getting a painful reaction from your hip. You reached out for your leg and moaned. You felt a hand pushing you back to the bed.
''easy now, we don't want to make it worse don't we'' the professor said.
''yeah..'' you sighed.
You looked around the room and saw flora sleeping in the chair next to the bed, luke was also eating something and the professor sat beside you.
''here comes the train'' the professor said while making a sound that supposed to sound like a horn.
''hershel….I'm just stabbed, not turned into a baby'' you said still slightly grumpy.
He sighed and put the spoon in front of your mouth. You smelled the funny looking stuff and groaned.
''what's this''? you asked.
''it's a healthy combination of vegetables and fruit, it's good for you'' the professor explained.
You looked at the puddle with disgust and turned your head to the side.
''it looks like poop and smells like it too, I'm not gonna eat it hershel'' you complained.
He smiled.
''barton said you would be grumpy after a long sleep, I thought it wouldn't be this bad'' he said while still smiling.
You couldn't help but smile too, he was just too sweet.
''all right…I'll try it, but only if I can have some chocolate after it'' you said.
''hmm…well then, if we can find chocolate you'll maybe get it'' he said.
You opened your mouth and tried not to barf as the liquid slowly made its way down your throat. You swallowed hard and shivered.
''it even tastes like poop too'' you said making luke laugh.
After some attempts not to barf the ''healthy combination'' finally was gone.
''that wasn't so bad was it'' the professor said.
You grinned having a plan.
''hershel come here please'' you said making a cute face.
The professor leaned closer.
''what's wrong''? he asked.
''nothing, I could really use a kiss right now'' you said and pouted your lips.
He chuckled and leaned in to kiss you. You made sure to open up your mouth so he could taste what he had just fed you. He softly kissed you on the lips and closed his eyes. you grinned against his mouth as you(yes I know it's disgusting)slightly spit in his mouth. He immediately leaned back and coughed.
''what did you just spit in my mouth''! he practically yelled.
''what do you think honey''! speaking out the last word with a hint of anger.
He looked bewildered at you and coughed some more. After he stopped coughing he smiled. You were surprised to see him smile, expecting him to be a little bit upset.
''I will search for your chocolate my dear'' he said and kissed you on your cheek.
Before he got of the bed you grabbed his arm, feeling a little guilty for spitting poop-ish stuff in his mouth.
''I'm sorry…'' you mumbled and hugged his arm.
He smiled and hugged you back.
''doesn't matter, I know your just grumpy'' he said, laughed and ran away before you could hit him with your pillow.
Flora Had woken up from your yelling at the professor and looked confused. She looked at you and smiled.
''how are you feeling''? she asked.
''it's okay….I guess'' you said.
Luke stood up and walked towards flora. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
''good morning my little flower'' he said lovingly.
You blushed at seeing such a cute scene in front of you. Flora smiled still enjoying the kiss.
''good morning'' she sighed.
''have you slept well''? he asked.
''hmm…not really, the chair is kinda hard'' she said while rubbing her back.
''ow….stand up please, got an idea'' he said.
She nodded and stood up. He sat down on the chair getting a ''hey..'' reaction out of flora. He chuckled a deep chuckle(clearly marking that he was growing up) and pulled flora on his lap. He placed his arms around her waist and hugged her close. She giggled and leaned back.
''that's more comfortable'' she said.
the door opened and the professor walked in.
''look what I found'' he said happily holding a few square looking candy-bars in his hands.
''is that…..chocolate''? luke asked.
''yes, I think we're all going to enjoy this'' he said.
''chocolate…..''luke whispered, drool coming out of his mouth.
Flora giggled and got up, luke immediately ran to the professor and jumped up and down.
''here you go my boy'' the professor said.
he handed over the chocolate bar. He walked towards flora and also handed her a chocolate bar.
''thank you professor'' she said.
And finally also to you. He sat down besides you and leaned against you shoulder. You blushed still feeling guilty.
''hershel…..still sorry from earlier'' you whispered.
he smiled and kissed your fore head.
''don't mind'' he said.
you took a bite from the chocolate and chewed.
''hmmm…..it's so good'' you said.
the professor smiled and also took a bite. You swallowed and looked at the professor. He soon noticed your gaze upon him and looked at you. You reached up and placed a small kiss on his lips. You moaned.
''hmm….sweet'' he whispered making you blush.
''that's a lot better than that other stuff heh'' you said with a smile.
''it sure is, and it kisses better too'' the professor said.
you laughed. You looked at flora who again sat on Luke's lap. You sighed at their cuteness. You heard a soft meow coming from below you.
''jovi…..here kitty kitty'' you said.
jovi jumped on the bed and landed on top of hershel. You laughed as the professor himself almost jumped from surprise. Jovi looked confused at him and walked from him to you. You petted him as he laid down beside you.
''weird that he likes you so much'' he said.
''what's so weird about that''? you asked.
''don't know….had any flashbacks or weird dreams lately'' the professor asked.
you remembered when you told him about the flashbacks.
Flashback
''hershel...can I speak to you for a moment'' you asked.
''of course my dear, what's wrong'' he said.
He sat down besides you on the couch from the molentary express.
''well I told you about those dreams right''? you asked.
''yes…what's with them''? he asked.
''well, nothing of sorts it's just, since I was kidnapped by don paolo…'' you said while shivering at the name of don paolo.
''yes..?'' he asked.
''I've been having these flashbacks, I can see parts of the past in a movie-ish state'' you explained.
''that's awkward… and when did this started''? he asked.
You thought about and came to the conclusion.
''when I met jovi….''.
End of flashback
''everything al right my love''? the professor asked.
you looked at him and nodded.
''yeah just had a flashback about when I told you about it'' you explained.
Was jovi connected to the flashbacks? It could be. You looked at jovi who seemed to be interested in what you were saying. You petted him behind his ears and sighed.
''what if he is related to them….does that mean I have to get rid of him''? you asked more to yourself than to the professor.
''no I don't think you need to do that, like you said before…they can be quit helpful'' he said.
''yes that's true…'' you said.
you placed your head on his shoulder and closed your eyes.
''are you tired my dear''? he asked.
''hmm….little bit…'' you said almost drifting off.
He chuckled and kissed you on your fore head. you smiled and fell asleep…
