Hi my boos, I know it's been a long while since I updated and I could come up with a million excuses but in all honesty it's been writer's block and my depression going head on and that makes writing a bit hard but I am trying I swear which is why I have this short chapter for you to which there will be a second part so stay tuned and in the meantime enjoy this jewel.
Dylan
I watched Tenley pacing back and forth through the private waiting room, I was almost sure that the floor was about to fall out from beneath her, out of the corner of my eye I saw Norma moving towards me and I averted my gaze from Tenley, towards the floor. The chair beside me squeaked quietly and I watched a hand fall onto my knee, I looked towards Norma with a slightly raised eyebrow. She gave me one of her hurt puppy looks as she pulled her hand away, Norma opened her mouth and then shut it, she looked away and huffed slightly before turning back to me and I just kept looking at her waiting for her to spit out whatever she was going to say.
"Just spit, whatever it is, out Norma." I said quietly.
My eyes darted back to Tenley for a moment and that's when I caught sight of her slightly shivering, like she was cold. She didn't have a jacket and her clothes didn't seem thick enough to keep her warm, she must be freezing.
"Dylan, do something to comfort the poor girl, she's a mess and I can tell that she's at ease in your presence and from what I can see, she doesn't get that feeling very often." Norma finally said.
I whipped my head back towards her, was she crazy or something? Tenley hardly knew me and it was the same on my point, where in the hell would Norma get the idea that Tenley was at ease with me?
"Are you on something, Norma?" I whispered harshly.
"I'm not really sure what even means, but I have a feeling it's an offensive term. Dylan, I know I sound crazy, that's why I wasn't sure I should say anything at all, but as crazy as it sounds I can just see that Tenley is relaxed around you and I only say this because tension was rolling off her in waves back in that office, the minute you walked in though the whole feeling in that room changed and all tension was replaced with a sense of familiarity and ease." Norma said quietly.
I looked over Norma's face searching for some form of deception, but as far as I could tell she really believed everything she just told me. My eyes darted back to Tenley who had returned to the seat she first occupied, but her leg bounced up and down fast enough to make anyway slightly dizzy. I sighed and pushed myself up from the armchair, I walked towards Tenley and stopped in front of her, she peeked up at me through her plum colored curls. I kneeled down and gently brushed her hair back, and I watched her facial expression shift into that of shock at the simple action. I gave her a half smile and grabbed her hand softly, pulling her up from the chair, I shrugged my jacket off and placed it around her shoulders as I gently guided Tenley out of the room.
"There's a diner down the street that's still opened, I know you haven't eaten anything in a few hours and you're probably starved. Norma will call us if any news comes about Flora, otherwise we're staying away from the hospital for the next few hours and there won't be any fighting me over this, you need it." I said softly.
Tenley nodded and I heard a soft-spoken okay come from her, she pushed her arms through the sleeves of my jacket and then pulled it tightly around her, I hesitantly laid an arm over Tenley's shoulder's and was surprised when she moved further into the slight embrace and went as far as winding one of her slender arms around my waist.
A bit of a cliff-hanger I know and a bit of a change considering it's in Dylan's POV, I just figured I'd give my hand at it and I believe I did a halfway decent job but don't be afraid to comment and tell me what you think of it and whether I should do other chapters in his POV as well. Until next time my little jewels, love you guys *MUAH* ~Peace
