When I tapped on the door, he looked over at me with a big smile.
“There you are, beautiful.”
I smiled as I grabbed some sanitizer. “You just couldn’t stay away from me, could you?”
“You know I love seeing your pretty face. Where have you been?”
“I had a family emergency, but it’s all good now.” I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. “What are you doing back here, Mr. Jenkins?”
“This old leg of mine got another infection.”
“You know we teach you and your caregiver the proper way to care for it while the wound heals. Did something happen?”
He sighed. “Truthfully? The aide the company sent me doesn’t do much. She’s a bit squeamish.”
I frowned. That was what I hated about some of these companies. They hired anybody with a little bit of training, not knowing if they were truly qualified for the job. Being a home health aide was not for the faint of heart. You had to care for these clients just like you would care for a family member. If you couldn’t or weren’t willing, it wasn’t the job for you.
“Squeamish? Did she not know what she was getting into?”
He shrugged. “I don’t know. She gags every time. I don’t wanna get her in trouble, you know? She’s a young girl just trying to make a living.”
I sighed. “I understand that, Mr. Jenkins, but we can’t play with your care. That infection can spread to other parts of your body, and it could be fatal. That leg has to heal properly before you can be fitted for your prosthetic. I’m personally gonna see to it that we get you a new aide that’s competent. I don’t wanna see you back here unless it’s a follow up visit.”
He smiled. “You always take care of me.”
“And I always will.”
“How about that date?”
I giggled. “I don’t think my boyfriend would like that very much, Mr. Jenkins.”
He placed a hand on his heart. “Boyfriend? You went and got a man on me?”
“It’s a long story, but yes, I have a boyfriend.”
“Well, he’s a lucky man. If he ever drops that ball, I got you.”
“I’ll remember that. I have to go finish my rounds, but I’ll be back to check on you later, okay?”
“Okay, beautiful.”
I left him with a smile as I exited the room.
After making my rounds, I got paged to scrub in on a surgery that took about five hours. By the time we were done, it was time for my lunch. I headed toward the locker room when I caught sight of something that made me smile. There was Ahmad with a bag in his hand. He smiled as I approached him. I went straight into his arms for a hug and peck to the lips.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” I asked.
“I brought you lunch.”
“Awww! Baby, that’s so sweet. Thank you. We can go down to the cafeteria.”
Grabbing his hand, I led him to the elevator. Since we were the only people on it, I took full advantage of the privacy. I backed myself into the corner and pulled him along with me. Our lips and tongues intertwined in an intense lip lock. His free hand gripped my ass through my scrub pants.
He told me he loved the way it looked in this fabric. Since confessing our love for each other, the level of affection had been on ten. I’d gone from Bunny to Bunny the Body. Every time he called me that, I had to laugh. I appreciated his appreciation of my body. There were some days I didn’t like what I saw when I looked in the mirror. After years of being shamed for the very body I met Slim with, I guessed I still had to get those words out of my head.
“I’ve missed you,” I said, peering up at him.
“I’ve missed you too, baby.”
