Randy and I waited well into the night before the lady behind the front desk walked over to us. Randy had fallen asleep but I had refuse...no..forbidden myself to go to sleep. "Miss?" she said softly. I looked up at her."Yes? Is he going to be alright?" I asked softly so I won't wake Randy. "Mr.Bautista is fine,awake and would like to see you." she replied with a smile. A smile crept onto my face. Should I wake Randy? Nah...I'll let him sleep. I though as I stood up and stretched. "May I go back now?" I asked. The woman nodded and led me back to Dave's room. I opened the door queitly and smiled. Dave lay there innocently looking around the room. "Hey there." I almost whispered. Dave looked in my direction and smiled. "Hey there." he croaked. I walked over and sat in the chair next to him. He grabbed my hand and held it,rubbing it with his thumb. "That was some scare you gave us...Randy and me." I said gently. "Sorry about that..I didn't mean to." he whispered,tears welling in his eyes. With my other hand, I wiped the tears. "It's okay." I gently cooed. Dave rubbed his cheek against my hand,which still lay gently on his cheek. "So," I began,trying to change the topic. "Yeah?" Dave asked,looking at me questioningly. "When are you coming back?" "Well,I'm going to have to take easy for a few weeks. Then I can come back to work." Dave explained,still rubbing my hand with his thumb. I nodded and looked into his brown eyes and got lost. "Come here." he croaked,letting go of my hand. I leaned toward him and he kissed me softly on my lips. "Dave,I love you." I whispered,looking at him. He smiled, "I love you too." He scooted (painfully) over and patted the bed next to him. I got out of the chair and carefully sat next to him. He laid his hand on my lap and fell alseep. I smiled and kissed his lips gently and sat there for the rest of the night.
