Carlos walked into her room, for once Maurice wasn't there. He went to find her some real food. She was sitting up in bed, her color back to normal. She hadn't been discharged yet because of the stress her heart took. The Doctors wanted to make sure there was no permanent damage. The room was covered in cards, flowers and balloons, from god knows who. Carlos moved to her bed with a dozen red roses and a little teddy bear. Moving to her side he looked at her and she smiled. "How are you?" He asked softly
"I'm all right. I want out of here. I'm getting antsy. Mo's been walking me through the halls so I don't go stir crazy.. But I want to see the outside." She smiled at him patting the part of the bed next to her. He moved over and sat down, looking to her, giving her the roses and bear.
"You had me worried. I didn't think you were going to make it for a few days. Don't scare me like that again." She smiled and took the roses, putting the bear next to her and putting the roses next to the rest of the flowers. She looked to him. Looking at him, she had grown to admire him. They went through EMT training together and she liked him a lot. He was a little egotistical, but she liked that in a man. Reminded her of Maurice. Looking at him he smiled, making her smile. She loved his smile. She thought she had a crush on him, but she knew how he was with women and didn't bother trying to pursue it.
"So..." she twiddled her thumbs until she felt his hand go over hers. Looking from him to her hands then back up to him he leaned in and kissed her on the lips, ever so gently. She was shocked for a moment, making him pull away. She stared at him, blinking.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..." Mercedes cut him off as she move forward kissing him back, placing her hand on the nape of his neck, trailing her fingers over it. He kissed her back, with all the passion he had. After a second they heard a bag hit the floor. Carlos jumped back ad looked over to see Maurice, one eyebrow raised, eyeing Carlos. Mercedes opened her eyes to see her brother and turned a deep shade of pink.
"I'm gone for 5 minutes and you move in on my sister?" He moved towards Carlos, looking pissed. Mercedes looked towards the door and saw everyone, Faith, her mother, Mikey, Davis, Sully, Tatiana, Kim, Jimmy, Joey, Charlie, Emily, Fred, Alex, Swertzky and Christopher watching. Bosco got closer to Carlos and grabbed him roughly.
"Hey! I..It's not!" Bosco got in his face. Everyone burst into the room to see what he would do. They saw everything.. The room was glass for god sake! Carlos wasn't scared. Bosco didn't really frighten him, just, scared him for a second. Mercedes threw a cardholder at Bosco and it bounced off his shoulder. He spun at her and hissed, then turned back to Carlos.
"Next time ask before you go kissing my sister." He let Carlos go and moved to Mercedes. He knew Carlos' record, it was as bad as his. Mercedes looked up at him, scowling. But he turned on the cute and pouted. She caved and shook her head.
"I want to date your sister." Carlos blurted out then looked down. a round of AWE went through the room and Bosco turned around.
"Are you serious?" he eyed Carlos. then looked at Mercedes, who nodded. Bosco stared at his sister and couldn't help it, she looked so happy, happy as the day before the WTC attack and nodded, but gave 1 warning.
"Hurt her,.. I have a gun and a shovel.. NO ONE will miss you I promise." Mercedes shook her head and giggled.
