Hey everyone, another chapter for you. So in the last chapter, if you guys read my AN, you know about how one of our crazy fans pushed us off the stage. We were told by the doctor that we couldn't play for up to 2 1/2 months. Something about "you have to let your bodies heal" or some crap like that. And some exciting news...we have reached the 200 + mark on story alerts! Thanks guys, you make my day! Anyway, to your next chapter :)
Disclaimers: Ha Ha, very funny, almost made me believe that I own the show. HA! Right...
Chapter 15
Kate didn't say anything, but Rick knew that she wanted to get the hell out of there. The doctor gave Rick a prescription for Kate, Rick got the release papers, and Kate couldn't sign them fast enough.
Once they were out of the hospital and in the Ferrari, Kate became furious.
"You have got to be freaking kidding me!" Kate yelled. Rick looked over at Kate because of her outburst and saw tear streaks running down her face. Her expression was pure steel, but there were tears anyway.
When they were back in the loft, Kate made a beeline for the couch.
She curled up and in ball, taking up half of the couch. Kate turned on the TV and saw that Temptation Lane was on. She watched the episode, while Rick scrubbed Kate's blood from the floor. When Rick decided that the floor was clean enough, he went to the kitchen, rinsed out the bloody cloth, washed Kate's blood residue from his hands, and walked into their bedroom. He changed into shorts as it was getting pretty hot outside, and walked back into the living room. He joined Kate on the couch, and watched her watch Temptation Lane.
About twenty minutes later, Kate finally noticed Rick sitting next to her. She crawled closer to him, and snuggled into his side.
Kate finally decided that she was getting too hot, and pulled off her sweatpants. Leaving her in one of Rick's shirts.
Another 2 hours went by, and that's when Rick noticed Kate's breathing slow up and even out. Rick gently moved Kate, so that he could get up.
Once he was up, he went into the kitchen to make dinner. He figured that Kate wouldn't want anything heavy, so he made mac N cheese.
When "dinner" was done, Rick went over to wake up Kate.
"Kate." Rick said. When she didn't respond, Rick shook her and said her name louder. Kate wasn't used to this kind of wake up call, and it startled her. Rick's little idea of waking Kate up, landed him with a kick to the stomach. By the time Kate realized where she was, and who she just sleep attacked, Rick was on the floor.
"Oh my god. I am so sorry Rick." Kate said as she laughed. It took Rick another minute to get himself up off the floor. "Yeah well, if you're so sorry then why are you laughing?" Kate finally got a control on her laughter, "Because...all of the serious boyfriends that I've ever had, have tried to wake me up that way. Ever since I got out of the academy, I've been very alert, even when I sleep. So, I have fallen asleep on each boyfriend's couch at least once. And they all tried to wake me up the same way. And they all got the same thing." By now Kate was laughing again, "Except Tommy. Tommy was the unlucky winner." Rick looked confused, "My foot collided with his groin. He was on the ground for half an hour."
Rick involuntarily crossed his legs at the thought. "Dinner's ready if you want some." Rick said as he went to get himself a bowl of mac N cheese. When he came back to the couch, Kate was whimpering.
"Kate...what's wrong?" Rick asked. "Stomach." was all Kate replied with. Rick quickly got up off the couch and ran to their bedroom. When he returned to Kate, he had a pill bottle in his hand. He shook out two of the little white pills and handed them to her. He also handed her the glass of water he brought over for her.
"Thanks." Kate said before she fell asleep again.
"Damn. This little suckers work fast." Rick said quietly.
