As you can see I added some more text
Please Read and Review
"I know Monica. But you didn't." I grab hold of her hand again and look her straight in the eye. "You're alive. You're here ... with me." I know that she can read my eyes like an open book. Look deep into my soul and find the real meaning of my words. But yet I do not look away.

"In a way, you saved me John.", her voice is thick with emotion.

"I saved you? What do you mean."

She starts blushing when she says "All the time I kept thinking about you. How I didn't want to leave you behind. And that I had to be strong because you always tell me that I'm strong."

I have a soft expression when I wipe away her tears. Softly avoiding her black eye.

"Then why didn't you tell me what was wrong with you this morning? Did you think I would find you weak? You know I could never think that of you."

"No, yes, I ... I"

"You pushed me away Monica. Just when I let down the walls around my heart, you put them up around yours." I know I'm blowing this thing up, and that I should be the one comforting her, and not the other way around. But I just want to know.

"I'm sorry John. I didn't mean to push you away. I guess I wasn't ready to tell you yet. Especially not in the office. I hope you understand."

She moves in closer until our legs are touching. Again I feel the butterflies in my stomach and wish I could just lean in and kiss her. But I don't know how she will react. What if I scare her away? She needs someone to comfort her and I want that person to be me.

"And I don't built walls around my heart. You're the only person I let inside." She continues in a silent whisper.

I can feel the atmosphere changing when she says those words. There's a lot more tension in the air.

She wraps her arms around me and I pull her closer.

"Auw" she says again.

"Huh Monica, I'm sorry, I forgot."

"It's nothing John. Don't worry about it."

Suddenly I stand up and head towards the medicine cabinet.

"I'll make you feel better." I say smiling, trying to loosen up the atmosphere again. "Do you have ointment for bruises?"

She comes and stand next to me and hands me 'Hirudoid'.

"Yes here... but I can do this myself you know."

"Oh really, I didn't know you had hands on your back" I joke. She starts laughing when she realises she can't win this.

"Okay, I'll just go and change."

A few minutes later she comes back wearing a boxershort and a very, very short tank top. My mouth drops open and I quickly close it, not wanting her to see my reaction.

"Euh, why don't you lie down on the couch? This way it'll be much easier."

She does as I say and stretches herself on the couch. Her back obviously hurts and I realise that that side is the worst. I go sit next to her on the edge of the sofa and put some ointment on my hands. I gently rub it over her bruises. She lets out a little gasp as my fingers touch her skin. As they go to one of the bruises on her chest, she closes her eyes. I would be lying if I say this doesn't turn me on. But it obviously has the same effect on her. After I've finished her chest I take one arm and gently start rubbing it. I move from her shoulder to her hand and then I take the other arm. And when they're done I move to her legs.

While I take care of the bruises I let my eyes glide over her body. She is just so beautiful. Her eyes are still closed and she has a little smile on her face. I can tell she enjoys my touch. A strand of hair has fallen over her face and I lean forward to put it behind her ear. At my touch she opens her eyes and sees my face hovering just inches above hers. I smile a sly smile and she smiles back at me. Her index finger is touching my face and leaves a trace from my cheek to my chin. I can feel her hot breath on my face when she whispers to me.

"You're doing a great job Dr. Doggett."

I smile and cup her chin with both my index and my thumb.

"Well, you're a beautiful patient Mrs. Reyes."

With that I lift her chin towards me and bring my lips to hers. It's a short but tender kiss and it makes my heart explode. All this time I've imagined how it would feel... to kiss those soft lips of hers. And now I know... Heaven... It feels like heaven.
