"Andy? Are you ready sweetie?" my mom called up the stairs. "Yeah. Just a second!" I called back. I knew that I was ready I was just waiting for Josh, who had promised to be here. I sighed and glanced over at the clock again. He was late. I decided he wasn't coming and headed downstairs. I walked over to my moms who were in the kitchen. "Are you ready?" my mom asked again. "I guess so" I said turning toward the front door. I trudged forward and grabbed the doorknob. When I swung open the front door, there sat josh. He was sitting on the first step, talking to himself. "Josh!" I exclaimed too happy to remember my moms. He stood up and turned around. "Hey" he said, face lighting up. I rushed towards him and planted my lips on his. "Ahem," My mom cleared her throat. I pulled away quickly. "Sorry" I said looking down. Josh grabbed my hand and we headed towards the car parked on the driveway. "You came" I said happily. "Of course! I wouldn't miss out on this for anything" He smiled. "You make it sound so fun" I said. We were just going to the doctor for a check up. To see what kind of treatments I still needed. Josh noticed that I was squeezing his hand tighter and tighter with every passing second. "Andy, babe, it's going be ok" He whispered in my ear. "Yeah, of course. I know that. But babe? Why did you call me babe?" I teased. He laughed. "Because I can't call you sexy in front of your moms" he whispered as we piled into the backseat. The entire way there, we were silent. I still was holding Josh's hand and I was leaning on his side. He stroked my hair over and over again. God, I love him. He kissed the top of my head before my moms pulled into a parking space. My moms got out first. I stayed in the car for a few more seconds. "It is going to be ok" He whispered. I nodded and we got out of the car. My moms stood there waiting for us. Josh held my hand and we headed inside. When we got to the doors, they opened automatically. We went inside and while my moms checked me in, Josh and I sat down in the waiting room. He squeezed my hand before letting go and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I snuggled into his side. He lightly kissed my cheek before I rested my head on his shoulder. "Andy Jensen?" A nurse asked looking at her clipboard. "That's me" I said getting up. "Stay" I said pointing at Josh. He did. I followed the nurse down a long hallway and into a room with a bed covered in paper. I knew what to do and jumped up onto the bed. The paper made a crinkling noise as I sat on it. "The doctor will be here in a minute" The nurse said before leaving the room. I was pretty scared now that Josh was gone. But like he said, everything would be just fine.
I walked out of the hallway and into the waiting room smiling. I headed towards Josh and my moms who were still sitting in the waiting room. "Are you guys ready?" I asked when I reached them. "So? How did it go?" Josh asked standing. "You'll find out at home" I said. My moms on the other hand, talked to my doctor a little before we left. "Cheaters!" I said when they reached me. "Don't tell Josh ok?" I said. They nodded. The car ride home could not go fast enough. I wanted to tell Josh the news! The second we pulled into the driveway, Josh was out of the car. We both headed hand in hand into the house. We reached the stairs and I motioned for him to follow me to my bedroom. When we got there, I closed the door. "Josh, what I am about to tell is going to change your life" I said to build suspense. "The doctors said that I am cancer free!" I exclaimed. His jaw dropped as he hugged me tightly. "That's great Andy!" He said excitedly. He pulled away enough to kiss me. At first it was soft and sweet but turned passionate and hungry. He held the sides of my face and really kissed me. I pushed his shirt towards his head. He pulled it off and we continued. I ran my hands along his defined stomach as he kissed my neck. "Mmm" I hummed contently. This had been what I wanted all along. No holding back. No cancer, no worrying, just love.
