Chapter 14

Cindy

The last, I don’t know how many days, have been all but a blur. Faces coming in and out of focus, food and water being offered to me, like I’m some kind of animal, and medicine being forced on me. If I sound miserable, it’s because I am. Being in and out of consciousness sucks. I don’t even know what day it is or how long I’ve been out of commission. I’ve heard voices behind my head and I think I’ve responded somewhat. The only thing I’m coherent of right now is Kelly telling me I have to take a bath because we’re going to the doctor.

“I love you, honey, but you stink.” She giggles. “Come on. I’ll help you.”

I undress, peeling my rank clothes off, and the second my toe touches the bath water, I start to feel human again. “Your fever broke finally.” Kelly says.

“I figured. I don’t feel like I’m in a daze anymore.”

Kelly gets a large cup from the kitchen and helps bathe me. My hair is so long and matted that I can’t do it myself. “You’re lucky I’m doing this. Jimmy offered to give you a bath.”

“Oh, God, I’d die!” I bark, listening to my voice crack with pending strength again. I’m hoarse, but at least I have some volume again.

“Don’t worry. He wouldn’t leave your side, but I wouldn’t let him give you a bath.” Kelly advises. “He stayed with you every night since you’ve been sick, you know.”

“Kell, I’ve been so out of it, I wouldn’t have known if Mother Theresa was sleeping with me.”

“I’m surprised he slept in the bed with you.” She says, and I can tell that she’s digging for intel.

“Are you?” I volley back.

“Well, yes. Are you guys an item?”

“God, you’re so nineteen fifties!” I chuckle, but that brings on a cough, so I stifle myself.

“Well, you know what I mean. He’s your boss, isn’t he?”

“I think you and I both know that he’s more than my boss, Kell.”

“Did you sleep with him?”

“In a sleeping sense, yes.” I admit. “The night before I got sick, we slept on the couch in the recording studio together.” I lift a hand. “Clothes on though. And we didn’t like make out or anything. We just held each other. It was nice.”

“Well, I think you’ve got yourself a keeper, if you feel anything for him, Cindy. He was here as much as I was. I don’t think the man has slept in a week.”

“He’s a sweetheart.”

“He quit smoking.”

My eyes bulge. “Really?”

She nods. “He told me himself. I haven’t smelled a thing on him all week. He hasn’t gone outside or anything while he’s been here.” She smiles. “And you’re right, he does like to hug. Every time he came or went, he gave me a hug.” She lifts a brow. “Hell, you want to trade Dave?”

I chuckle. “He’s not mine to trade.”

“Oh, I think he is.”

“Would you stop? He’s my…boss.”

“He loves you.”

“No, he doesn’t.”

“You love him.”

I look at her. She lifts a finger.
