“Stupid quack doctors,” Mercury mumbles.
“Be nice,” I order him.
Dr. Vander shuts the chart and replaces it at the bottom of the bed. “I’ll be back for rounds this evening.”
As soon as the door shuts behind her, I pick up the remote control and switch on the television.
“I’m not watching news all day,” I warn as I click through the channels.
“All day? You’re not staying with me all day.”
I roll my eyes. “I’m not going home and coming back this evening again. It’s a waste of gas.”
“Now you understand how to be environmentally conscious?”
I shrug. “When it suits me.”
“Don’t you have work to do?”
“I cancelled my big meeting. The rest can wait.”
“You cancelled your meeting? Why?”
“Maybe because I thought my uncle was on his death bed.”
He snorts. “I didn’t realize you’re such a drama queen.”
“When it suits me.”
“What about your young man?”
“What about him?”
“Don’t you want to spend the day with him?”
I want to spend every second with Gibson. I’m totally becoming obsessed with the man. Becoming? Snort. I am obsessed with the man. I’ve never felt the way I feel about him before. It’s intoxicating. And exciting. And exhilarating.
And scary. What if Gibson doesn’t feel the same way about me? What if he’s sees me as a challenge? What if he’s bored and messing around on me?
“Gibson’s busy. He has a meet and greet with fans today.”
“Did someone say my name?” Gibson peeks his head in the room. “Can I come in?”
“Yes. And take this one away with you,” Mercury says.
Gibson chuckles. “What did she do now?”
I scowl at him. “Hey! No ganging up on the girl!”
Gibson leans over and kisses my cheek. “Hi, sassy girl. You okay?”
“Is she okay?” Mercury asks. “I’m the one laying in the hospital bed.”
I sigh. “You’re also the one who yelled at me for phoning an ambulance.”
“I’m still in the hospital,” he grumps.
“How did you know we’re here?” I ask as Gibson pulls a chair up next to me.
