Rob helped me clean up the kitchen and the living room.
"Blair?" I heard Chris say.
"One second." I told Rob.
"No problem. As much time as you need." He said.
I smiled and went to Chris' room. "Hey, hun." I said.
"Will you turn Friends on?" He asked.
"Sure." I said smiling. I turned on the TV and the DVD player. One of the Friends disks were already in there, so it just continued where it had left off. "Will you lay with me and watch?" He asked.
"Rob's here." I said.
"Blair." Rob said walking into the room. "It's fine. I wanted to stop by Anthony's anyway."
"Oh, okay."
"Thanks for your help." Chris told him.
"Any time, man. Any time." Rob said. "See you guys later."
"Bye." I said. He stared at me for a second, then left.
"Him too hu?" Chris said.
I climbed into bed with him.
"Him too hu?" He said again.
He was sweating, so I stood up and turned on the fan. I layed back down with him. I climbed over him and layed on his other side, so I could cuddle up with him. He put his arm around me. "Will I ever be your first choice?" He asked.
"You are my first choice." I said. "Always."
"Brody's coming by soon." He said.
"Why?"
"He's dropping off the Spiderman Comic, that volume one." He said. "Or is it Superman?"
"I don't know." I said irritated.
"Well, that one he had an extra copy of that goes with the one I won. Since I'm home for a week, maybe more now, he said he would drop it off." He said.
"Okay."
"What's the big deal?" He asked.
"Nothing."
"I'm sorry about all this." He said.
"It's fine. I'm just glad you're okay." I said trying not to cry as all the events starting replaying in my head.
"You're here." He said. "You're all I need to be okay."
I was so tempted right then to call Rob and join him at Anthony's, but I knew Chris needed me.
"This is the longest I've gone without sex." He blurted out.
I giggled.
"I just realized that. At least the longest I've gone without it since we started sleeping together." He said.
"It's only been a few days." I said.
"Isn't it weird though?" He asked.
"I guess." I said. "You're silly."
"You're not gonna leave me hangin tonight are you?" He said.
"Yes, I am going to leave you hanging." I said smiling. "You need to get better first."
"But it will make me feel better." He wined with a smile on his face.
I giggled. "Shut up or I'm not sleeping in your bed with you tonight."
He closed his mouth and nodded smiling. It made me laugh. We watched a few episodes until the disk was over. I fixed him up a hot dog and got him ready for bed. I had to help him change and make sure he got his medicine. I cleaned up his burn and applied some cream, then wrapped it up.
"Thank you." He said making a kissy face.
I leaned down and gave him a quick kiss. He started acting silly when his medicine kicked in. I pulled the covers over him and cleaned up a few things in his room. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said.
He looked like he was ready to fall asleep.
I heard a knock at the door. I peaked out the peep hole. It was Brody. I opened the door. He just held out the comic. I took it from him. He smiled and left. I sighed. I was really starting to miss him. I got ready for bed, turned off the lights and climbed into bed with him. I layed up against his back and put my arms around him. I squeezed him tight. I giggled. I could feel the muscles in his stomach and chest. I reached down, pulled his shirt up a little and rested my hands on his bare stomach. "You want me." He mumbled.
"I do." I giggled. "But you need rest."
