Chapter 10: Delia's Guardian Angel
"What did you do?!?!" John asked as he squatted down next to Ardelia, grabbing her shoulders. "I'm sorry, I only had two... the rest are in the toilet... I dropped them..." Ardelia cried. "I... I thought you had left... whe you called for me... you scared me... thats when I dropped them..."
He sat down beside her and held her close. "Its okay. Hold on a second. I've gotta tell Gus that you need some company; plus its the end of my shift."
John called Gus on his radio, and told his partner of his plans. After he was done with the radio, he helped Ardelia up. "Some, lets go sit somewhere more comfortable." Delia followed him, knowing that John would take care of her.
When they got to their destination, the livingroom, John grabbed the blanket from the floor and wrapped it around Delia. "I know that this is a totally wrong time to ask..."he began, "But... are you single?" He's so cute when he blushes, she thought to herself before answering, "Ummm, yes... are you?"
"Yep, can't find the right woman," John informed her, looking away as if embarrased.
There was an uncomfortable silence as neither was sure what to say next. John was the first to speak up: "Would... would you like to go out sometime?" Another silence, again broken by John. "Its alright if you don't want to, but..." John was at a loss for words.
"Yes." She announced it with such conviction that it stunned them both. Delia had been falling in love with John since she had first laid eyes on him, but she hadn't been sure if she wanted a man in her life right now, with what had just happened. After his coming back, Delia was sure she wanted this man around.
After a half hour of cuddling on the couch, John sofly whispered in Ardeliaa's ear, "I better go and let you rest..."
"No don't go... you can stay here... even have my bed. I'll sleep right here..." She whispered back, clinging onto his arm.
"Well, if you insist." He gave quite easily. "But you can have your own bed, I'll take the couch."
"I insist that you take the bed." She emphasized 'insist'. "It's a king sized bed, you'll have a better rest."
"If you insist on me sleeping in your bed and I want you to sleep in your own bed," John began slyly, "Then I guess we'll just have to share the bed."...
