I'm awaken gently by someone shaking me, "Hey Jessie, Honey? Demetrius is awake if you want to go see him." I let out a yawn and stretch my arms and wings out to the side. I get up and walk around the corner to Demetrius's room which Angel told me was room 208. I open the door and close it behind me.

"Hey, D." I say softly while walking up to his bed. He smiles at me, "Hey, Jessie." I lean over and kiss him on the forehead and sit down in the chair that Angel had left next to the bed and grab one of his hands in mine. I hold it up to my cheek as a tear rolls down my face.

He purrs before cupping my cheek with his other hand and attempts to wipe away the tear from my face. "Please, don't cry Jessie. I'm fine, really." I look down at him apprehensively. He chuckles,"I'm okay, I swear.

I have you to thank for that." I blush slightly, "so who told you?" He smiles back at me, "my dad." I release his hand and lean back into my chair. "Well I suppose you should know that I carried you all the way here while flying," I say trying to show off how tough I am.

Instead of being impressed he just laughs hysterically. "Hey, what's so funny about that?" He chuckles, "it's just— it's hilarious that you think you're so tough. It's like picturing a chihuahua carrying around a pit bull." I cross my arms over my chest and give him a pouty face, "hey, I'm actually a LOT tougher than I look."

He chuckles, "okay, sure. Whatever you say, Princess." I roll my eyes annoyed by the title, "I'm not a princess. Besides, I DID carry your heavy ass back here that's got to count for something, right?" "Well yeah, except you're a lot taller than I am and uh... a bit stalkier?"

I gasp intending to poke at Demetrius for his clumsy play on words, "Oh my gosh, did you just call me fat?" He blushes bright red and starts to panic, "uh, no, no that's not what I meant. I just meant—" I place a finger on his lips, "Hey, it's all good, Romeo. Is that how you normally talk with all the ladies?"

I ask him in my attempt to flirt with him. He simply shrugs his shoulders, "eh, actually it's a bit of an off day for me, normally my game's a lot better than this." I chuckle in response and bat my eyelashes, "well, game is a bit clumsy but..." I start leaning in close to his face inches from his lips. He backs away nervously off to the other side of his bed.

"It's still adorable." He lets out a gulp and blushes bright red. Since I was satisfied I get up and start to walk out, "well, I'm gonna go now. I gotta go check on my shop and make sure my employees locked everything up before they left. One of them forgot to lock up once and over half of our inventory was stolen which is really something you don't want especially if you're selling expensive jewelry."

"Uh, yeah, I uh, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then?" I smile and continue walking towards the door and grin to myself when I heard Angel leave from the outside of the door. I turn back around and walk back towards Demetrius, "okay coast is clear." He raises an eyebrow up in confusion at me. I chuckle at his reaction, "Angel was ease dropping on our conversation on the other side of the door."

"Huh... really," he asks. "Yep." "How do you know? I didn't even see him out there." I grin, "I could smell him."

He raises an eyebrow clearly impressed, "wow, that's a dangerous weapon you got there." I laugh, "well, this dangerous weapon is the reason I was able to find you." He smiles, "wow really?" "Yep. That and your room key still has your scent on it."

He laughs, "really?" "Yeah. I'm sure it has something to do with us seeing each other, oh I don't know... every day just about." He smiles, "well when you put it that way, I guess it makes more sense. So... you're coming back after you check up on your store, right?"

I raise an eyebrow up at him and decide to tease him, "why... you miss me already?" He blushes bright red and scratches the back of his head, "m—maybe..." I grin, "aww... what's the matter? Puppy dog's got your tongue?" He flattens his ears and is blushing as red as a tomato which is great because this is the hardest I've ever seen him blush.

To push him over the tipping point I lean over and kiss him on the cheek. He freezes up instantly and his heart rate on the heart rate monitor speeds up. "Well, to answer your question, yes I'll be back and I'll stay as long as you want me to." He scratches his head nervously, "so... you'll stay with me all night?" I smile sweetly at him, "if the hospital lets me, then yes I'll stay here with you all night."

He smiles back at me and we're only about ten inches from one another's lips. I immediately stand up straight and look down at my sweater and realize that I've been walking around the entire time with a bloody sweater. "I— I need to change first of course," I chuckle nervously. He looks at my sweater and his eyes widen, "whoa!! I really loss that much blood?"

I comb through my hair and start walking towards the door, "yeah, it was a lot... Don't ever scare me like that again." He raises his eyebrows up at me, "why? What are you gonna do to me?" I blush bright red and get flustered with Demetrius.

"Y—you'll just have to wait until I get back now won't you? Seriously though,... I care about you. I didn't know if you were going to make it or not." He smiles and looks directly into my eyes, "I care about you too." We both stand there in awkward silence before I turn around and leave, "uh... bye, D." "Jes—" I close the door behind me before he has a chance to finish what he was going to say." I place my hand up to my chest and reality starts to set in, "oh God... I'm in trouble."
