We reach Ross' room and Victory opens the door first and walks inside.
Sitting up in his bed is Mr. Sunshine. He looks over to us and smiles. "Are you hear to feed me or something?" Ross asks us. Yep. He's drugged alright. I give a little giggle as I shut the door behind me.
"You wish Wonders." Victory laughs at the end.
"Who's this Wonders guy your speaking to? Is he hansome?" Ross questions. Victory butst into more laughter.
"Yes. He's very handsome in fact." I speak up for her. Ross lifts his gaze form Victory over to me. He smiles and I smile back as I approach him.
"Hey!" He screams. I jump from his sudden tone if voice. "You," he pauses and points a finger at me. "Are cute." He says in his 'sexy man' voice. I smile then start to blush. Even though he's drugged I can't help it. Victory's face turns red as she's consumed with laughter. "Get your ass over her." He demands me. Ross moves over to the opposite side of his hospital bed to make room for me. I shake my head. "I'll drag you over here myself if you don't sit down." He tells me.
"No. Stay in your bed." I tell him.
"I'll come get you then." He whips off the blanket that covers his legs. He turns back to me then quickly snaps his attention back to his legs again. One of them is completely missing. There's a bandage wrapped around his mid thy where they must have cut his leg off. I wonder what happened to him. The bomb. Victory told me Ross was near it along with Tobias.
"Woah!" He slams his back into the bed. I quickly rush over to him and hold my hands on his shoulders. "My leg! Who took it?" He asks furious. I hold him down against the bed.
"You." He turns and points at Victory. "Why did you take my leg?" He demands. Victory stops laughing.
"I didn't take you leg Ross. It was the doctor." She shouldn't have said that.
"The doctor?" He questions her. "Which one?" I turn around and shoot Victory a warning glare.
"I'm not sure. I'll go ask now." She winks then leaves me in the room to deal with Mr. Sunshine. I release Ross then pull the blanket back up to his waist, shielding his missing leg from his eyes. Hopefully it will help him to forget about it.
"Hey cookie," Ross tugs on a lock of my hair. I look over at him. "What's your name?" He asks me. He's drugged so he might not remember me because of this. I take a deep breath then let it out again. Everything's alright. I'm okay.
"Tris." I tell him.
"Tris." He tries my name out on his tongue. "Tris, Tris, Tris." He repeats my name three more times.
"That's my name." I smile at him. I should ask if he feels alright but he'd probably push away my question or make a joke about it.
"I'm Ross." He tells me with a smile. I pretend like I didn't already know his name. He's distracted with me now which is a good thing. I'm not worried about him looking down at his leg again. "Tris and Ross. Ross and Tris." He pauses. "It has a good ring to it. Don't you think?" His eyes brighten. I shake my head and ignore his question.
"Well it's very nice to meet you Ross." He holds a hand out and I shake it. Before I can let go, he yanks on my hand and causes me to tumble on top of him. That sneaky bastard!
"I like it better when I can see you close up. I have trouble seeing distance." He tells me.
"Do you have glasses?" I ask him.
"Yeah. I don't wear them though." He answers truthfully. "Especially for special occasions like this one." He winks at me.
He's totally flirting with me. Flirting! I find it kind of funny and cute at the same time. But I have a boyfriend. He's only a few rooms down hopefully sleeping.
"You should wear them. It'll help you to see so you're not blind." I explain to him. Ross shakes his head.
"Nah. They don't look good on me at all. Plus I like to be up close and personal with smoking chicks like you." He informs me. Ross wraps his arm around my back and pulls me down so I'm even closer.
"I'm sure they look just fine on you." I ignore the face that he's so close to me right now. I give into my temptation and lean in a kiss him on the mouth briefly. Whoops. I forgot he's drugged and doesn't remember me. Crap. Now he's going to think I'm into him. Shit!
"Oh." he pulls his head away stunned. "I didn't know you wanted to play that game." His smile grows mischievously. Ross taps my nose teasingly. Then he leans up and kisses my cheek. "You're turn." He tells me with a big smile on his face.
"I'm not kissing you Ross." I speak flatly. His smile dims.
"You just did two seconds ago. Why would a cute girl like you not want to kiss such a manly hunk like me? He questions me.
I swallow a laugh. "Because I've got a boyfriend and you've got a girlfriend." He nods his head understanding everything now.
"Then you must be my girlfriend right?" He asks. "I like when beautiful little girls play hard to get." He grabs my chin and full on kisses me on the lips. Not the worst kisser but I still pull away because I know it's not fair to Tobias who I'm still dating right this very second.
"Awww. Cheer up sweat heart." He rubs my arm. I jump off his lap and back away out of his reach. "Please? Just one more kiss." He begs me.
"No." I tell him. He grunts then crosses his arms in front of his chest and pouts. "And I thought we were just getting started too." His voice drops. I take a step forwards and rub his arm. Ross looks up, into my eyes.
"It's not that I don't like you Ross. The problem is that I love someone else. You love someone else too, don't forget." I inform him.
"I do?" He asks me. "I love someone other then you?" I nod my head.
"Yeah. You told me her name is Fallon. You said she was sweet and kind too." I tell him. He looks away for a few seconds thinking about it.
Ross shrugs and falls silent. I can tell he's about done with me. His happy and excited mood stars to wane away. He looks tired. Ross brings up his hand, covers his mouth and yawns into his hand.I turn to the side and sit on his bed beside him. He looks over at me shocked or something. I reach over and grab onto his hand. He snakes his fingers around mine and holds onto my hand tightly. "We're friends though right?" Ross meets my gaze.
"Very, very close friends." I tell him with a small smile.
"So we're closer then best friends but not as close as boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ross questions me again. He yawns into his hand again.
"In simplest terms, your are correct.We've kissed one another briefly but no longer then a few seconds. And it was a playful kiss. We tease each other about it all the time. So it's a playful relationship." I explain to him.
Ross nods his head then falls silent again. He watches me very closely."Close you eyes and get some sleep Ross." I tell him. He shakes his head. "Please." I pause. "For me." I beg him. He still shakes his head. He yawns once more.
"I'm not tired." He tells me. "And I'm too afraid of the nightmare's to come." He tells me. I don't blame him for not wanting to sleep. I'm scared each night too because of the nightmares.
"I'll stay right here and protect you then." I tell him.
"Promise?" He asks me. I nod my head.
"Yeah. I promise I won't leave your side." I add a little smile at the end. Ross nods his head then looks up at the ceiling. I drop Ross' hand and adjust myself so I lie on my side facing him. I reach up with my hand with the cast on it still and rest it right above his head. I begin scratching his head in hopes that he'll easily fall asleep.
Soon enough, his eyes close and his breathing falls into an even pattern. I lean over him and kiss his forehead. He's very quiet when he sleeps. I like that. Tobias on the other hand can be both ways. When he doesn't have nightmares he's silent as a mouse. When he has nightmares, he's very active like a cat.Eventually, I close my eyes too and fall asleep beside him.
