2PM - I'm Your Man

You know you can lean on me
Let me love you, girl
You're always be my baby
I'll do anything for you

- What's your wish, girl, I'm your man

A/N: This chapter is dedicated to someone who made me smile: R Unworldly. She always leaves positive reviews and knows how to do constructive criticism without making me feel over sensitive.
To those others also who have reviewed nice reviews: Don't think you're unappreciated or I'm taking any of you for granted, believe me, I wish had some sort of popularity as YouTube does and we held meet and greets or something. I'd take you ALL out to eat cookies or something :)

Part 3: Chapter 12: There was that exciting life we have

'But Marky's really nice. He's strange.' I pouted and thought about the correct term, 'he's just different. In a good way.'

I rested my feet back onto the bed making sure to keep clear from Twink's body and leaned back in the uncomfortable armchair in the corner. Twink looked so peaceful when
he was sleeping.

Han had told Jay not to allow anyone other than me and him to visit Twink.

Even Neela had to keep clear.

Sean started working at the garage last week. It had been two weeks since the incident in the warehouse and things were getting gradually back to normal.

Or as normal as things could be when your best friend is in a coma with a slim chance of waking up and your boyfriend is a jerk. Occasional jerk, that being said.

'Lina,' Jay poked his head around the door and beamed when he saw me sat there.

'Hey Jay,' I smiled back.

Our friendship was becoming less professional and more personal and the other nurses were beginning to notice but Jay knew where he stood with me.

Friend zoned before anyone could get hurt.

'You've been here all morning - wanna grab some lunch? I'm off the clock for an hour.'

I looked hesitantly towards Twink and saw the machine flash as if to tell me that everything was normal. The annoying beeping sound had become so familiar to me that I didn't even recognize it beeping sometimes.

'He'll be okay for an hour,' Jay laughed and caught my reluctancy to leave him. He glanced behind me and called someone over.

A young female nurse appeared and Jay told her to stay with Twink to which she quickly nodded and took the other seat in the corner. I was thankful for Jay's help and figured lunch for an hour couldn't hurt.

'So where's Han?' Jay asked, popping a piece of chicken into his mouth.

I stirred my coffee slowly and watched the foam fizzle out into nothing. The cafe was small but not crowded and the cold icy weather outside made it warm and sort of cosy.

'Garage.'

I saw Jay nod - he didn't seem phased by my sullen mood or my one syllable replies to his questions. He knew I was hurting and I was trying to keep it all inside to be strong for Han and the nurses and the doctors and overall, when Twink awoke he'd need someone who believed he'd make it.

'So, what're you two doing for Christmas? Spending it at the hospital?'

I looked up suddenly and saw the surprise on the doctors face when I seemed confused. He laughed and shook his head, 'where's your mind been? It's Christmas Eve in two days.'

'Wow,' I said. I was genuinely surprised at this as it seemed like only yesterday I was complaining at the weather because it was too hot.

'I'll probably be at the hospital first thing in the morning.' I told him and he nodded.

'Trey doesn't have family?'

'Not exactly. His dad was in the Army but since I came back to Tokyo, Trey's never mentioned him therefore I don't ask.'

'You're not nosey, I like that.'

I had to stifle a chuckle at this, 'I'm nosey. I just know when to pry and when not to. What with the mood swings and all that, I never know when Trey's gonna... you know,
snap.'

Jay looked concerned for a moment, 'Lina has he...'

'No,' I said quickly but paused, 'I mean.. He went to.' I caught the shocked look on Jay's face and attempted to settle the drama, 'but he didn't mean to and he didn't even hit me.'

'You should've said something.' Jay said taking my hand across the table, 'the hospital needs to know when the mood swings are worsening. When he's resorting to violence-'

Taking my hand from his I rubbed it nervously on my leg, 'he didn't. I got him upset. It was my fault.'

Leaving the issue at that the doctor didn't press anymore.

'Lina!'

Resisting the strong urge to roll my eyes I heard her voice and looked up to see Neela at the cafe bar. She looked between me and Jay and I saw the mischief in her eyes
before she grabbed her coffee and took the nearest chair, dragging it to our table and sitting down on it.

'This is nice.'

Jay looked stunned at her appearance but smiled cheerfully nonetheless, 'I'm Dr Jay Makiosa.'

'Neela Mortensen,' she said taking his hand and shaking it and I could see the blush on her cheeks darkening. Yeah, I knew the feeling. Jay was a handsome man and most girls would probably kill to be his girlfriend.

But Han was a lot more gorgeous and had some depth about him.

Sean on the other hand was just a Texan Knuckle Head and always would be - therefore, Neela had my permission to feel flushed at the doctor.

I sat there quietly and watched Neela talk utter nonsense to Jay and I saw the bright smile she gave him regularly. Jay would bow his head often and smile back up at her which I found really cute.

What is it with girls? They're okay to watch their friends flirt knowing they have a boyfriend?

'Well this has been pleasant.' Jay tossed some yen on the table but before I could protest he shook his head, 'no complaining Lina. We'll meet for lunch again.' He then turned to Neela who looked up at him in wonder, 'it was really nice to meet you Neela Mortensen.'

'You too.' She squeaked and then I saw her tilt her head as he walked away. Rolling my eyes I scoffed.

'You totally just checked out his ass.'

She woke up from her reverie and put a hand to her chest, 'no way! I was not! He's gorgeous! Are you two...' Wiggling her eyebrows she smirked and I could've laughed right then and there.

'No,' I stood up from my seat, 'he's just a friend. He's on Twink's case therefore, he kinda tells me more of what's going on than the other assholes that work there.'

Neela flicked her hair across her shoulder and I imagined her back at school, seventeen and all loved up with Takeshi when she'd do the same thing. She was hooked.

'You know I don't think Sean will be too impressed if you go home like that.' I said walking out the cafe.

Neela looked like she could've stomped her foot, 'like what?'

'Horny.'

'So Sean is apparently doing okay there. I don't think Neela likes him being away at work though,' I said as I pulled out the dead flowers from the vase on Twink's hospital bedside table.

'Because,' throwing a look over my shoulder to make sure Jay wasn't listening, 'I think she has a thing for Jay Makiosa. Not that it's surprising. I mean, if it weren't for Han...'

'You'd what?'

I jumped and the flower fell to the floor. Turning quickly I saw Han stood at the door with a fresh bouquet of flowers and a small smile.

'I'd...' I wasn't known for having the sharpest mind in awkward situations and usually end up putting my foot in my mouth and making it all worse but I fought the urge to tell my boyfriend that I'd totally be bedding that doctor if I wasn't head over heels in love with him.

'Probably be in hospital myself.' I told him seriously.

Han crossed the room and put the flowers in the vase, he pecked me on the lips and retrieved the fallen flower, 'no you'd be boring.'

'Are you saying that without you, I wouldn't be interesting?' I asked mock offended.

His hands went to my hips and pulled me into him so that our foreheads were touching, 'no but your life would be less exciting.'

'Sure,' I rolled my eyes, 'because this is so exciting.'

'We're Han and Lina, we're not going to have a 9 to 5 job working in some factory. Everyone knew that.' Han kissed me more deeply and I moaned in his mouth. He always shut me up.

'Merry Christmas,' I said and reached behind me to pull out a box.

It was wrapped neatly in purple wrapping paper with his name in black letters on the little piece of card that hung from a white bow. He took it from me with a smirk.

'You didn't have to get me anything.'

'It's our first Christmas together officially as a couple. I wanted to.' I told him and felt extremely sappy. But because of the conversation we'd just had - how normal we weren't I felt I had to do something that could save this relationship from complete insanity.

It was good to do the usual couple things sometimes.

Not to mention I'd spent ages and ages thinking about what I could get Han Lue that wasn't sexual or money.

Han took the seat and glanced at Twink, 'it doesn't matter what you tell her. She's stubborn as anything.'

This had become a usual thing for us. To include Twinkee in our conversations. As soon as we were told that he may be able to pick up on voices while he's still comatose, we were talking non stop and sometimes I find myself answering for him too.

Unwrapping it slowly, he was met with a small rectangular blue box. From the brand name, you could tell it had been expensive and Han looked up at me with a frown.

'Just open it,' I told him.

He did as he was told and pulled out the platinum watch with the gold clock head and he twirled it around a few times. I felt myself getting worried. Did he not like it? I felt stupid.

'I just...' I stammered, 'because you're always late when you're down at the garage. It's just a joke.' Han still hadn't said anything and I reached to grab it off him only for him to stand up and hold it above his head.

'What are you doing?'

'It's stupid,' I answered, 'I should've gotten that sexy lingerie or something.'

Han chuckled under his breath and looked back at the watch again, 'Lina, I love it. I love you. Thank you.'

'Really?' I asked.

'Yes.' Han kissed me and picked me up to spin me around once before setting me down on the ground and I beamed.

'Your present isn't ready yet.' He suddenly said and I whirled back.

'What? I told you not to get me anything!' I wanted to pout.

'Tough,' he shrugged and smiled at me. Turning quickly to put the watch on he pointed at Twink, 'for the meantime, Twink, we're gonna come back later.'

'What?' I asked as Han went to pull me away, 'where are we going?'

A smirk found it's way on Han's lips and he brushed my fringe back from my face, 'you got something else for me.'

I felt my face flush and sighed. He was beginning to know me so well. That lingerie at home that was wrapped lay under our bed untouched, 'how'd you know?'

'Because...' he whispered in my ear sexilly, 'I just know you so damn well.'

I wish it was actually Christmas :( Again.
Anyway, back at college tomorrow therefore, this is the chapter to get you through today and I'll update sometime next week.
:)
