"Hello Jade. How are you doing today?" Dr. Dumas asks me.
"My hand hurts." I say.
"When did you break it?" Dr. Dumas asks me as she looks at my chart. When I got to the office earlier, the receptionist made me fill out a light medical history. I wrote down that I broke my hand a couple of months ago.
"A little less than two months ago." I say.
"Ok. When did you get the cast removed?" Dr. Dumas asks me.
"A little less than two weeks ago." I say.
"Ok. On a scale of 1-10, how much pain are you in?" Dr. Dumas asks me.
"Six." I say.
"Ok. I would like to take an X-Ray and an MRI of your hand. I want to see if you have any broken bones or torn tendons in your hand...ok?" Dr. Dumas asks me.
"Ok." I mumble.
"Ok. I'm going to go get the machines ready. I'll be back to get you in a couple of minutes." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. Thank you doctor." I say.
"You're welcome Jade." Dr. Dumas says. Dr. Dumas stands up and exits the room.
"I wish Tori was here." I mumble. Tori stayed home, because she wasn't feeling good this morning. I'm going to call her as soon as I leave Dr. Dumas' office.
Two Hours Later...1:35 PM
"Ok Jade. I looked over the X-Ray of your hand, and the MRI of your hand, and the bones in your hand have fully healed; but there is a torn tendon in your hand." Dr. Dumas says.
"A torn tendon?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"Yes." Dr. Dumas says.
"Will I need surgery?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"The tendon is almost fully healed, so surgery is not an option at this point." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. What are my options?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"I can splint the injured hand. The tendon will heal faster if your hand is in a splint." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. Is there any other options?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"At this point, no. There isn't any other options." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. How long will it take for the tendon to heal?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"It will take anywhere from two weeks, to six weeks for the tendon to heal." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. Will I still have full use of my hand?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"You will have partial use of your hand." Dr. Dumas says.
"What does that mean?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"It means that you will have trouble driving, cooking, cleaning, and doing other household chores." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. I guess that we should put my hand in a splint then hah?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"Yes. I'm going to go get a splint for your hand. I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. Oh, can I have another prescription for pain killers?" I ask Dr. Dumas.
"Yes. Seeing as your still in pain, I will write you a prescription for tramadol. It's a pain killer for mild to moderate pain." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok. Thank you Doc." I say.
"You're welcome. I'll be back in a couple of minutes with a splint and a prescription for tramadol." Dr. Dumas says.
"Ok." I say.
"Hey Tor. It's Jade. I'm going to go to the Pharmacy and pick up my prescription for tramadol. I'll be home in a few minutes. Love you. Bye." I say as I hang up the phone and put it into my pocket. My right hand is almost useless, so I'll have to do everything with my left hand.
After filling my prescription for tramadol. I stopped off at Subway, got a couple of sandwiches for Tori and I, and headed home, and now, I am in the bedroom that I share with Tori.
"Tori baby, it's time to wake up." I say.
"I'm already awake." Tori mumbles.
"Ok. I bought you a meatball sub from Subway. Are you hungry?" I ask Tori.
"Yeah. What did Dr. Dumas have to say?" Tori asks me.
"I have a torn tendon in my hand. She put a splint on it, and gave me a prescription for pain killers." I say.
"What? Are you serious?" Tori asks me as she rolls over in bed and sits up.
"Yeah." I say as I show Tori my hand.
"Oh Jesus baby. I'm so sorry." Tori mumbles.
"It's ok baby. I have another appointment in three weeks. Hopefully my hand will be healed by then." I say.
"I wonder why the doctor in the ER didn't tell us that you had a torn tendon?" Tori says.
"The doctor in the ER did an X-Ray of my hand; but he didn't do an MRI. The torn tendon was found using the MRI machine in Dr. Dumas' office." I say. (A.N. Does that make sense? Like, torn Tendons only show up on an MRI, and the Doctor in the ER didn't do an MRI, so he didn't know that Jade has a torn tendon in her hand.)
"Are you in any pain?" Tori asks me.
"No. I took a couple of the tramadol a couple of minutes after I picked up the prescription from the pharmacy." I say.
Tori and I just got done eating lunch, and after throwing our trash into the trashcan, we head to the living room. We sit down on the couch.
"What time does the cable/internet installer get here?" I ask Tori.
"Three." Tori says.
"What do you want to do until he gets here in 15 minutes?" I ask Tori.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"He's early." I say as I stand up and make my way over to the front door. I open it with my left hand.
"Hello sir. How may I help you?" I say.
"Hello ma'am. My name is Matt. I'm here to install the cable/internet." Matt says.
"Please come in Matt." I say. I open the door a bit wider, and Matt steps into the house, and I shut the door behind him.
"The TV is in the living room." I say.
"Ok. My boss told me that you want cable in your bedroom, one of the guest bedrooms, and the living room. Is that correct?" Matt asks me.
"Yes." I say.
"Ok. Which room would you like for me to install the internet router in?" Matt asks me.
"The living room." I say.
"Ok." Matt says.
"I love the view you guys have." Matt says.
"Yeah, we like it too. It's one of the main reasons we bought the condo." Tori says.
"Are you two in college?" Matt asks Tori and I.
"Ah...no. The both of us go to Hollywood Arts." I say.
"That's cool. I graduated from Hollywood Arts six years ago. After graduation, I got a job as a singer on a cruise ship. I worked for the company for five years. I quit my job to become an actor. That didn't work. I now work for Charter. I like my job, and the pay is pretty good." Matt says.
"There you go ladies. I am done now. Do you guys need me to show you how everything works?" Matt asks Tori and I.
"Ah...no. Thanks though." I say.
"You're welcome. Have a good day ladies." Matt says.
"You too." Tori and I say in unison. After Matt picks up his bag with all of his tools in it, he leaves.
"What do you want to do now?" Tori asks me.
"I think we should christen our new house." I say.
"That sounds like a good idea." Tori says.
"Where do you want to start?" I ask Tori.
"The kitchen." Tori says.
"The kitchen? Really Tori? Really?" I ask Tori.
"Really. I want you to take me on the table in the kitchen." Tori says.
"You've got to get me hard first." I say. Tori gets off of the couch and drops to her knees in front of me.
"Jesus Jade. I'm close baby. So damn close." Tori mumbles.
"Me...me too." I mumble. I pull out of Tori, roll her onto her stomach, and push into her again.
"Oh god. Feels, feels so good." Tori mumbles. A few minutes later, the both of us cum, screaming each others name. After recuperating, I pull out of Tori.
"Jesus Christ. I'm...I'm done baby. No...no more." Tori mumbles. We've had sex in the kitchen, the bathroom, two of our bedrooms, and the living room.
"Me...me too." I mumble.
"I'm...I'm hungry." Tori mumbles.
"Me too. We should call our friends and ask them if they want to go to dinner with us." I say.
"Ok. I'm going to go shower. Care to join me?" Tori asks me.
"I've got a couple of things to do, so why don't you go ahead and shower without me." I say.
"Ok. Love you." Tori says.
"Love you too." I say. A few seconds later...I grab my cell phone out of my pants pocket, slide the slider to the right, press on the contacts icon, scroll down to André, press on his name, then on the number, and put the phone to my ear. Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Hey Jade." André says.
"Hey...hey André. Is...I...oh god. I'm really nervous." I say. Yesterday, before André left the condo, I told him of my plan to propose to Tori, and I gave him the ring to hold on to until tonight. My job is to get Tori to the restaurant tonight. I'm going to tell her that we should call our friends and ask them if the want to go to dinner with us. I'm not actually going to call them, because Andre already talked to them and told them to meet us at the restaurant tonight at 6:30. I'm going to tell Tori that our friends are going to meet us at Taylor's Steakhouse. It's a new Steakhouse that opened a couple of weeks ago. I hope she doesn't want to go somewhere else.
"Relax Jade. You and I both know that she's going to say yes." André says.
"You're...you're right. Do...do you have the ring?" I ask André.
"Yes ma'am. The ring is currently sitting on my bed." André says.
"Don't forget to bring it to the restaurant tonight." I say.
"I won't. I'll see you guys in an hour...ok?" Andre asks me.
"Ok." I say. I hang up and put the phone down on the coffee table. Oh god. I hope she says yes. I don't know what I'll do if she says no. Shut up Jade. Tori is going to say yes. She's going to say yes. She's going to say yes.
7:45 PM
I get out of my chair, walk five steps, and drop to one knee in front of Tori's chair.
"Oh my god." Tori mumbles as she puts a hand over her mouth. I take a deep breath, and start talking.
"I have a wish that you'll say yes. I see you in a bridal dress. I see you walking down the isle. I see your face. I see your smile. I know this love I feel for you, will always be forever true. So please say yes, you'll be my wife, and that you wish to share my life. Victoria Vega. Will you marry me?" I ask Tori. Tori shakes her head yes. I stand up, put the ring on Tori's finger, and claim her lips. We kiss for a few seconds, before pulling away from each other.
"It's...it's beautiful Jade. I...I love you so much baby. So much." Tori says as she claims my lips. I bought Tori a 41,500 dollar engagement ring.
"I love you too baby. I love you so much. Thank you for saying yes." I say.
"You're welcome." Tori mumbles as she starts to wipe the tears out of her eyes. I pull a clean Kleenex out of my pocket and hand it to Tori. She wipes the tears off of her face.
"I love you so much Jade. You mean the world to me. I can't wait to start a life with you." Tori says.
"I love you too baby. I can't wait to start a life with you. I can't wait until our baby gets here." I say.
"I can." Tori jokes. I give Tori a kiss on the nose, cheek, and then on the lips.
"I love you." Tori mumbles as she closes her eyes.
"I love you too baby. So much." I say. A few minutes later, I drift to sleep.
