" Hold still James, or it'll hurt more," Wendy cooed, as she leaned forward to dab his wound with a wet cloth. James slightly hissed at the touch.
" The wound is deeper then I thought, it'll need more than a band-aid , but it doesn't need a stitch," She applied alcohol against it - and he hummed, trying his best not to wince.
" Don't worry James, you'll live," she joked, and once she finished patching it up, she looked at him straight in the eyes," I know you have more wounds, show me."
James looked genuinely surprised, eyes lighting up," How did you know?"
" I'm a Doctor, James. Now are you going to show the one against your torso first or the one against your shoulder ?"
James chuckled, and he proceeded to lift his shirt over his head.
She smoothed her hands against his side- around the poorly bandaged gash that circled around his torso. It wasn't critical, but it was enough to alarm Wendy.
" James, why didn't you tell me sooner ! I knew you were limping but this-" she gestured at the mess," You make me feel as if my purpose on that island was useless. Can't be a doctor if I don't help my patient, can I?"
Wendy pressed the cloth against his side, and he sucked in a breath," I'm sorry Doctor , but I didn't want to worry you."
" Keep sweet talking me, but that's not going to close your wounds," she grumbled. She tend to his wounds in silence , the only thing heard was the whistling of the wind outside the window of the infirmary- and the slight crackling of the fire inside the oil lamp.
" You never told me," she whispered, as she moved to the wound on his shoulder," if you truly did forgive me back there , but I think we're quite even now."
" I told you I was only going to forgive you on one condition," he whispered - his voice like velvet. She flickered her eyes upwards, and James was gazing at her, and he bit the corner of his lips.
" What's that?" She breathed against his neck , and his lips hovered above her. She could almost taste them against her own, and he leaned in closer -
" Dinner is ready !" Slivko's voice interrupted them, and he banged on the metal door of the infirmary - thank the gods that it was locked. God knows what Slivko could've done if he sees them.
James groaned in frustration when she pulled away," Coming Slivko." He would certainly smack Slivko in the back of the head for this one.
" You should go to dinner, I'll catch up. I bet I'll have more patients lining up outside," she gestured at the door.
James was about to leave, until Wendy caught his hand," Almost forgot."
She leaned on her tip-toes, reaching out to peck him on the cheek.
James grinned, and even as he slept he could still feel the lingering brush of her lips against his cheek.
