"Got your hopes up for what?" A southern voice booms from the door way
"Blakey! Your here!" She blurts out maybe a little to excited
"Yep here I am." He chuckles walking into the room
"Holy cow is one of those shlushies for me?"
"Absolutely. I knew today was a treatment day so you wouldn't want to eat really. I thought this way at least your getting something in your stomach." Blake says looking at the floor nervously hoping he didn't over step
"Hey, Blake look at me" his eyes lift until they make contact with her sparkling brown ones
"Thank you. I really appreciate it." She says as genuinely as she can and she can see him relax
Blake walks over to Gwen handing her the slushee. He turns to the chair in the corner of the room and walks over to put his stuff down. He sits down and looks to Gwen.
Gwen's expression suddenly changes and now she is wearing a pout. This pout is one of the new things he has found makes him melt.
"Hey, What happened? What's the pout about?" Blake asked slightly self doubting again
"Nothing...." she answers suddenly self conscious
"Now come on sunshine we both know it's not nothing so just tell me."
He moves over to the hospital bed and sits down taking her hand in his. He rubs his fingers over hers without even realizing he was doing it. Blake giving Gwen a pet name made her feel things she had never felt before and she found herself wanting him to say it again.
"It's just.....I.... I didn't get a hug when you came in. I'm sorry that sounded stupid and immature." She says shaking her head
"Hey your not stupid and that's not immature." He answers pulling her into a hug.
Her head fits perfectly under his chin. Hell she fits perfectly everywhere. This is the first body contact of any kind they have had and they both hold on a little to long for two strangers.
As they pull apart, they both chuckle that slightly awkward laugh.
"So I brought angry bird for us to watch." He says trying to break the awkward tension that is now filling the air
"Oh my God your so funny."
"What it's a good movie?" Blake laughs
"It's perfect." She smiled
She knew he picked this movie to make her laugh and it worked. He seemed to alway know what she needs and if she is being honest with herself that kind of scares her. Her ex never cared about what she needed, and here is this man she just met who knows what she needs probably better than she knows herself.
"Gwen. Gwen?"
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah sorry just spaced out for a minute." She flashes him a smile
That's another thing he can mark down as something that melts him. This woman might just be the end of him and he is perfectly ok with that.
