Chapter Ten

Tori

Dragging the washcloth down my bare arms and chest, Bash whispers adorable things into my ear, making me feel less self-conscious about sitting naked on the floor with him. It also helps me forget that I just puked up my dinner in front of him. Again. How many times will I repeat the same thing with Bash over the course of one weekend?

This is humiliating, but I’m also glad Bash is here instead of Jessica. Bash just lets me do my thing without freaking out, where Jessica would have been a total spaz and tried to take me to the emergency room at least ten times by now. Plus, Bash has changed so much from what I can tell in the short amount of time we have spent together.

The Bash I once knew would do the same things he has done for me in the last two days. I guess this side of him has always been there. I had always known Bash was a decent person deep down inside, even if he buried that part of him around others. But I didn’t want to admit that to myself after everything that had happened between us.

The night I’d given Bash my virginity was special. He spared no expense and rolled out the red carpet. He told me he loved me that night. But I already knew he felt that way about me. It was in his actions and his words.

Bash presses his lips to my ear and says, “Do you have a robe or something you can wear?”

It must have hit him that we’re still naked and Doc is on his way.

“Uh-huh,” I say, leaning my head back on his shoulder, too tired to offer any more information.

I could sit here with Bash’s arms around me forever. But at some point, the doctor will be knocking on my door. Judging by the way Bash scans the room, his eyes landing on a pink terry cloth robe on a hook by the shower stall, it must be soon.

“Doc will be here any minute. We need to get some clothes on. And you need to get back into bed and get some rest.”

Using the floor to push himself up to his feet, Bash takes a second to get his bearings and then holds his hand out to me. I place my hand in his, my body still trembling. In one swift motion, Bash lifts me off the floor and into his arms, cradling me against his chest once more. He treats me as if I’m a piece of fine china. I’m sure by now everyone at Strickland University knows about how fragile I am. Or at least how breakable I used to be.

Bash already broke me once. I don’t think he would do it again. His apologies seem sincere. If he were only after sex, he wouldn’t stay here while I vomit for the hundredth time in two days. And he wouldn’t have slept on my couch for the weekend so that he can nurse me back to health.
