Ashley smiles
Ashley:"Always a caregiver..."

Cryonix Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:23 am

Naomi helps Ashley back to the bed and wraps his knee. She elevates the right leg and give him an asprin with some water. The whole time she looks very apologetic...

Naomi: I'm....sorry. Here, I'm supposed to be supporting you...

Jabberwocky Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:33 pm

Ashley smiles warmly and Naomi
Ashley:"There be nothing you need to be sorry about 'un. You were the one in need tonoit."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 1:44 am

Naomi: I...I should go. I don't want to drag you down. You're on your way back up. Listen...enjoy the pizza...

...I had fun making it...knowing who it was for.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 1:53 am

Ashley smiles and shakes his head

Ashley:"Look, I've spent the fast two decades avoid not just my problems, but the problems o'those I care about. I would 'ardly be making progress to become a better person if I let you just walk out that door."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 1:54 am

She bats her eyes...

Naomi: You...want me to stay? I thought you'd be getting sick of me by now...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 1:57 am

Ashley:"No...you my dear, are the best thing to come into me loif since...well fer a long long time..."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:01 am

Naomi: Ashley...you're just saying that, hon. It's sweet of you...but I'm no one special. Look...have some more food before it gets cold.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:03 am

Ashley sighs

Ashley:"You are to me..."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:06 am

Naomi: You're sweet, Ashley. Look, get some rest. I'll grab my book and be right back...

...I'll...stay with you. I'm off tommrow anyway.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:24 am

Ashley:"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere"

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:25 am

She turns to leave...but at the last moment, she runs over to the bed and gives Ashley a kiss on the cheek...dangerously close to his mouth. She blushes and brushes some hair out of her face as she leaves the room...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:30 am

Ashley smiles wide as she leaves
Keep it cool old man, think about your heart

"First time I've thought about me 'eart in years. In an emotional and literal way."

Just don't push yourself. Don't want to have another heart attack and potentially die in her arms

"Wot a way to go though..."

True. Wait...you want that??

"No. I'm just saying..."

Wow...

"Wot?"

You want to be with her.

"I uh...well..."

Ha! I knew it. Just don't push yourself. Your in a hospital for a reason, remember?

"Aye...aye..."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:35 am

About fifteen minutes later, Naomi returns, her smile still as big as ever. She sits next to Ashley and the two spend a few quiet moments together...but...it's there. The glances, the brushing fingers. After a while...glancing becomes staring...Finally...

Naomi: Maybe I should uh....open a window. It's rather...hot...in here...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:36 am

Ashley:"Wait...those windows open? Bloody 'ell, I would 'ave opened that days ago. It gets stuffy in 'ere at noit."

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:38 am

She opens the windows just a bit and the cool, clean air rushes it...but it does nothing to cool down the situation...

Naomi: Shall we...have a drink?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:40 am

Ashley:"I'd love one. Got something special in mind?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:46 am

Naomi: I might.

She pours two glasses full of sparkling grape juice and hands him a glass...

Naomi: Dr. Jordans says you get out of here the day after tommrow...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:49 am

Ashley raises his glass
Ashley:"Well then, to three square meals of edible food again"

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:52 am

Naomi: Here here...and to...

...hopefully a wonderful....friendship....if nothing else...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:56 am

Ashley:"You...you 'ope fer more?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:00 am

Naomi sighs...

Naomi: I've been trying to avoid the subject, actually. I find myself...really...I...

...I'm attracted to you, Ashley. I just don't want you thinking I'm just some...fan...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:02 am

he takes her hand in his

Ashley:"Are you just some fan?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:07 am

Naomi: I was hoping I'd could be...more than that..

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:09 am

Ashley:"Well...that is a relief. I was 'oping I would be more then just some washed up wrestler you used to watch on tv."
