Chapter Ten

“Excuse me…Miss…” I heard coming from my side as I lay in Spencer’s arms. “Miss…”

I groaned and opened my eyes slowly turning my body towards the voice. I regained focus and saw the nurse from the day before standing next to the bed. I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the side of the bed. I looked back at Spencer and saw her still sleeping soundly and I smiled at how peaceful she looked especially after all she had been through.

“I’m sorry to wake you but we need to do one more exam before we can release Ms. Carlin.” The nurse said in a calm voice.

I nodded my head and turned back to Spencer leaning down to kiss her softly on the lips. She began to mumble and I couldn’t help but laugh at how cute she sounded.

“Spence…baby…you need to wake up.” I said pushing a strand of hair out of her face. I leaned down again and kissed her trying to wake her up. I pulled back and heard a low groan coming from her mouth.

When I looked back at the nurse I felt a pair of hands begin to slide up my shirt reaching for my breasts. I snapped my head back around and saw Spencer’s eyes still shut but her hands moving like they were on a mission. I saw the nurse turn her head really quickly and I reached down to still Spencer’s hands.

“Ummm…Spence?” I said leading her hands out of my shirt. “Spence? I thought I told you about your hands!” I said playfully poking her in the side.

Her eyes popped open and looked at me trying to focus. She saw that her fingers were still touching my skin and she began to blush deeply.

“I’m sorry…” She said looking down.

“It’s ok…I just needed you to get up so that they can check you out. You would like to go home wouldn’t you?” I said holding Spencer’s hands in my own.

“Yeah…” She took a deep breath and I knew she was thinking of Clay. I squeezed her hands and smiled at her. She smiled back at me and tried to not think about her brother’s death.
