Chapter Seventeen

Ok my phone now says one fifty in the afternoon which means I have been laying in waiting for almost an hour and fifteen minutes. So is he coming or was he just saying that and finding Rouge to come help me instead? I mean she has a key to the house so not to trigger the alarm system and put me on lockdown. Does he even have his key on him? Maybe he is looking for Rouge to get the spare key from her so he can get in without triggering the alarms.

"Either way this is taking too long and I am getting really uncomfortable with laying on the floor." I also think I have had an accident but I do not want to look down and see.

Maybe playing a game on my phone might pass the time in waiting or maybe he is taking his time on purpose to prove to me I need him more than I think I do. Or maybe that is him entering the house right now.

"Shads, sorry it took so long, I bumped into Amy on the way here and we had lunch together!" He did what? No chill, no need to start another argument.

"Oh that's nice how is Amy doing?" I really don't want to be pleasant right now.

"Hey babe, how's life down there for ya?" Don't push it hedgehog.

"You want my honest opinion? It is uncomfortable on the head and the view got boring like an hour ago." I know I am sounding really annoyed but be fair the floor is not a comfortable place to lay on especially for the amount of time I have been laying on it for.

"You are aware you have had an accident right?" I knew it, I damn well knew I did.

"Go on rub it in, I deserve it for making you upset and for hurting you." So basically my love, do your worse for I will not retaliate.

"Babe, I am not going to rub it in or tease you over this. What I am going to do is run you a bath, get you all cleaned then lay you on the bed." Huh?

"Does that mean I am forgiven and you are not mad at me anymore?" This Sonic, this is hope at it finest.

"After thinking about our little argument and what you said to me on the phone, I think I might have over reacted in leaving and telling you I wasn't coming back. Don't get me wrong I wasn't going to come home until the morning but after hearing what you did just to talk to me, I needed to come home and make things right." So all is forgiven then, good, now please help me off this floor.

An hour later…

"Ok that's you all snug on the bed babe." And the bed guard up too, you planning to leave again?

"Thank you my love for your help, you going back out now?" Because if you are I would like to know if you will be out of the house.

"I'm going to drop that wheelchair off to Tails then popping to the shops, want anything?" Good bye wheelchair, good bye rocket launchers and good bye fancy cup holder.

"No thanks my love, I'll see you after my nap." And good bye to a chunk of my happiness for I know I wont be seeing that chair again.

"Yeah good idea, you take your nap and I will surprise you when I get home." So I do not get a kiss good bye? You are just going to leave without a kiss, I really have upset him haven't I.

I will make it up to you, I swear I will. Well might as well take this nap, I am feeling a little tired anyway…

"No, dream good, leave me alone." Why is it that someone needs to wake me up and wont let me get up in my own time?

"Babe, you are aware you need something to eat right?"

Food is not my top priority here, sleep is.

"I picked you up something good for you." It better be damn good to interrupt the dream I was having.

"That's it love open those sexy eyes of yours." Sexy eyes? You haven't said that to me in months.

"So you got me something nice to eat then, do I get a clue?" Is it pie, I love pie.

"Ok you get one and I picked up a normal chair for ya." So going to miss my baby.

"I am still a little sleepy, do you think you can help me off this bed please?" I am not but I am going to do what Rouge suggested to do.

"Sure babe." Wow that request really put a huge smile on his face, maybe he is feeling obsolete.

"There we are, want your blanket?" I hate this chair, it is uncomfortable on my back.

"Please and thank you. I also want this clue too." Yeah Sonic you promised me a clue.

"There we are nice and tucked in." Even though I can do that myself, I'll allow you to do whatever you want to help me.

"As for this clue, it is not any kind of pie." Damn, wait if it is not pie then what the hell is it.

"Well that is a big help my love." Sorry cannot help but to be sarcastic Sonic, you love me for it besides it made you laugh.

"Yeah awesome clue I agree." Whatever you say Sonic and please keep to this nice steady pace.

Wait aren't we going into the kitchen, why are you taking me into the living room for?

"So not in the kitchen then." And there is no surprise in here either.

"Just wait and see love now lets get you on the sofa." Ok I am officially stumped.

"Thank you. Aw and you tucking me in too. You are spoiling me you do know that right, I am going to expect you to always tuck me in with my blanket." You better, you do a far better job than me.

"I'll be back in a couple of minutes ok." Ah there is my kiss.

"Ok I'll be here waiting." It's true, I cant go anywhere and even if I could I wont.

Ok waiting, waiting…there is something different about the living room, why does it look a little different even though it doesn't appear anything has changed? Am I losing my mind or something? I damn well hope not.

"Sonic is there a reason the living room is looking strange!?" It is seriously starting to annoy me that I cannot seem to figure out why it seems different.

"Shads, are you ok?" Whoa when did he get here?

"The living room, did you do something to it?" And I thought you were getting my surprise snack.

"Oh I have your surprise love." What the hell, why does he have a knife and where did that even come from?

"What are you doing?" Yes I am getting very scared now you are pointing the damn blade in my direction.

"I am freeing myself love."

"Ahhh what the hell!" Why are you stabbing me?

"St-stop, please!" Stop it just stop stabbing me…

"AHHH!" breath, shadow just breath.

"Babe what's the matter?"

I'm still in bed…it was only a dream, a totally screwed up dream but still only that.

"I-I had a bad dream." Yep getting rid of these tears, be gone tears be gone.

"Another one, want to share it?" No.

"I just want to get out of bed." Please just help me out of this bed and take me outside.

"Alright love, I'll get the wheelchair I picked up for you."

Ten minutes later…

"Shadow." Oh crap he just made me jump right out of my fur.

"Someone's jumpy." Yeah well if you had a dream of your partner trying to murder you then you would be jumpy too.

"Sonic can I ask you something?" And please don't be mad at me for asking this.

"Sure let me just open up the parasol so you are shaded from the sun." That actually would be nice, the sun is strong today and having black fur doesn't help with the heat.

"Ok babe, I am all ears." He is going to get upset again with me, should I just forget asking this and ask something totally different?

Ok here goes.

"Do you want to…" Oh chaos I can't say it, it wont come out because I know he will get mad and we will end up arguing again. Now I have to think of something else to ask.

"Do I want to what?" He is not looking happy, does he know what I wanted to ask him?

"I want to know do you…do you want to go out to dinner tonight?" Ok now he is looking much happier, thank you brain you have saved my hedgehog ass yet again.

"That's a great idea love, we should totally do that. So what has brought all this on?" Ah shit, now I have to come up with an excuse that is believable.

"Well I figured that going out to dinner is a good way to de-stress and just enjoy spending a lovely evening together like we used to do before all this mess. I want a date with you and maybe after we could go to bed and get close." Actually that sound damn right lovely, yep so want a nice relaxing date and sex.

"You want to have sex? I thought you wanted to wait a week or two to see if you heal a little more." Yes I said that but I feel we both could do with some happy right now.

"I know my love but after thinking about that, and taking into account this healing is a very slow process, it probably wont make much of a different." And I want to feel you close to me, caress me, hold me, ravish my neck the way you do, pull on my quills when you are seconds from bursting deep inside of me so I can see that adorable face you make…ah great now I want it now.

"You have a point there and you never know you might even get a semi." Yeah you just get all playful and wink at me.

I am so hoping I get more benefits like that so you better be rougher than you usually are.

"That will probably only happen if you get rough on me, oh and lets try to remember about putting my nappy pad on afterwards. As much as I enjoy sharing a bath with you, I don't want to piss the bed again." Hopefully we wont fall asleep minutes after we have finished.

"Yeah good point, it took a whole day to get that mattress dry for bed." Yes and we couldn't go to bed until gone ten at night because it was still a little damp at nine.

"So changing the subject, where should we go for out date?" Yes this is a very good question for it has been a very long time since I last dined out with you.

"Well there is this new restaurant that opened up like a month ago, we could check that out. I hear it had a four star review and didn't get five due to not having enough space to fit more diners in there. I'll ring them right now and see if they can give us a table." Wow he is so excited about this, he literally vanished within seconds…actually I'm getting excited too.

"Well I hope he can." Yes and I hope they are wheelchair friendly too then again I am sure if they weren't then Sonic wouldn't have suggested to go there.

Six in the evening…

"And here we are love, looks good from the outside right?" Yeah very posh like.

"Looks VIP like with those blackout windows, double doors with doormen standing there and a red carpet in front of the doors. I bet the inside looks stunning and fancy." And I bet it will cost a fortune too but we can afford this so I am not worried about the bill.

"Welcome to The Sprits, we hope you have a wonderful experience." Yep very posh and fancy, even the doorman sounds posh, I wonder if he is putting on an accent.

"Thanks, ok lets get inside Shads and have a smashing time on our date night."

"I believe we will…wow they have chandeliers in here." It is very, very fancy. I think I have found my new eating establishment.

"Hi we have a table for two booked under the name Sonic." Sonic I don't think you really need to even say that, she looks hyped to see us in here and everyone knows who we are.

"Please follow me, we have everything all set up for you both." See she so totally knew and probably waited with excitement for us to arrive.

"And here comes the glances our way, sometimes it is hard to tell if they are looking our way because of our fame or because of me being in this chair.

Cool our table has a couple of candle sticks burning and a very nice looking glass centre piece. What is that a rose or something? Ah who cares it looks nice.

"There we are love and I think my parking skills have improved to perfection." Yeah ok I will admit that to myself but all you will get is a smile because you forgot to put the breaks on.

"Oh wait your breaks, wouldn't want you to roll backwards away from the table huh." Don't ever drive my love you will smash the car up for forgetting to put the hand break on.

"Someone will arrive shortly to take your orders and here are your menus." I didn't even notice she was even carrying menus then again I wasn't really paying attention.

"Thanks." You still sound so excited my love, it's so cute.

"Yes thank you" And a small smile from me is all you get lady.

"So love are we having a proper drink or just sticking to water?" Huh good question, would it be best to skip the alcohol for maximum performance or have the one?

"I am sure one wont hurt right and this is a special night." To me it is for this is our first dinner date for over a year now.

"Yeah I agree."

Two hours later…

"Bah-hahaha, you are all wonky." Wibble wobble, wibble wobble.

"Yeah you are ssssooooo drunk babe."

"No you are. I…I am all peachy fine, two bottles are no issues for us. Oh go over the bump, go over the bump. We are a car, go over it." Yes do it, do it.

"Yeah lets go faster!" I should so beep.

"Beep, beep…haha-hahaha. This is totally all funny." So very funny.

"Bumper-de-bump Shads!"

"Boing-boing, bouncy castle chair!" Oh chaos this is so damn hilarious.

"So Shady lets have a sex party in our bedroom."

"Ha-ha you said sex." Why is that so funny?

"Ha-ha so did you." I did, I did say sex.

"Sex, sex, sex…I said it more times than you!" Oh god I want sex now.

"Sonic, hey Sonic I have to tell you something, come here." That's it stop and come closer.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah come closer so I can whisper this to you….I just did a pee."

"Bah-hahaha you did a pee."

"I-I did a pee." Why is that funny?

"Now I need a pee."

"Hey look a tree and another one, and another one. We are surrounded by toilets!" Go on pee on a tree.

"Hahaha-haha, watch this."

"Wow a hose, put out that fire!" Damn I want that dick now.

"Oh no it's spreading and I ran out of pee water!" Oh man I cannot stop laughing.

"O-ok, ok lets keep going for sex on our special bed. You might wanna put that away for later."

"Maybe I don't wanna put it away, maybe I wanna have fun here with ya Shads." Ok now that is a good idea.

(Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the update. I have no idea what it is like to be drunk on wine but I imagine it does kick away all sensible, and rational, thoughts and actions. Please tell me what you think and until the next update…)
