Chapter 8

ALEX'S P.O.V.

– You're shaking – Jinxx told me squeezing my hand. I looked at him bitting my bottom lip.

– I'm nervous – I glanced at him to find him forming a thin line with his lips.

It was 6 am. We were in the hospital because today was my operation.

Jinxx passed an arm around my shoulders. I rested my head on his and closed my eyes.

– It's going to be fast, trust me, everything will be over before you can say 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' – he said.

I opened my eyes and looked at him laughing.

– What? – I continue laughing. He stuck his tongue out at me.

– At least I cheered you up – he smiled. I kissed his cheek.

 – I love you – I said tightening my grip around his hand as I saw the doctor coming in our direction.

– I love you too – He kissed the side of my forehead.

– Ms. Moore, are you ready? – The doctor asked smiling kindly.

– No – I glanced at Jinxx. He smiled rolling his eyes and made me stood up by pulling of my hand.

– She's nervous – He told the doctor.

We walked next to the doctor until he told Jinxx to stay because he couldn't come in the next room. I looked at him still holding his hand.

– An arm isn't so important, is it? – I said bitting the inside of my cheek.

Jinxx frowned and then lifted one eyebrow.

– Don't say that – He kissed me sweetly and then patted my butt when I turned around. He smiled and I couldn't help but smirking too.

– Ms. Moore, you're going to start feeling dizzy. Count from ten to one until you fall asleep, okay? – I nodded and breathed the anesthesia.

As soon as I reached the number three, I fell asleep and everything went black.

JINXX'S P.OV.

I stayed in the waiting room until the operation was over. Andy had called me and told me that they would come after to see how was Alex.

The doctor came out followed by a nurse.

– Mr. Ferguson – he said as he came closer.

– How was it? – I asked anxiously.

– Everything is okay – he smiled kindly. I breathed relaxed.

– Can I see her? – I wanted to be there when she woke up.

The doctor nodded and told me to ask the nurse the room number.

When I approached the counter, she smiled kindly at me.

– Can I help you? – she asked.

– Hm, yeah, could you tell me Alexandra Moore's room number – I asked politely.

She told me and I went straight to the room. When I came in, Alex was still asleep.

I looked at her new arm. It was weird to see her with a robotic arm, but at the same time it looked pretty cool, and she'd be able to have a normal life again.

I sat down in a plastic chair that was next to the bed. The doctor had told me that she could wake up in any moment, but maybe it took her an hour or more.

I took my phone from my jacket and looked for something interesting while waiting. Twitter was full of comments like 'I hope Alex's operation ends well' and ' Can wait to see the recovered Alex Moore'.

I ended up playing Angry Birds until Alex turned around in the bed. I looked at her and saw she was rubbing her eyes with his left hand.

– Hm – she yawned. I put the chair closer to her bed and smiled when our eyes met.

– Hi, did you sleep well? – I asked. She slightly laughed.

– Now I'm like Robocop – She pouted.

I laughed.

– More like Terminator – She looked at me faking a glare but then smiled.

~»~

We talked like an hour or so more and then I gathered guts enough to ask her what has been running through my mind.

Actually, I was going to ask her, but the doctor interrupted us so I had to wait for an hour more until he left, but then Andy and Juliet came; then Jake and Ella; then CC and Ashley. So yeah, I had to wait like 5 hours to be alone again with Alex.

~»~

– These people are incredible – she said smiling, resting her head in the pillow.

– I know – I said thankful that we were alone again.

– So... – we said at the same time.

– You first – I said smirking.

– No, no, what were you going to say? – she asked.

 – I've been trying to talk to you since you woke up but we haven't had time – I scratched my hair.

– About? – she asked putting all her attention in me.

– Um... – How could I say it? 

ALEX'S P.O.V.

What was he trying to say that was so important? I've been waiting for like five minutes just hearing him mumbling things without sense.

– Wait wait, breathe and then talk – I said half-laughing.

– Listen, I know this isn't the best place for this and than I should wait but I just can't, I need to know it – he said. I lifted an eyebrow.

– Continue – I said, motioning with my hand.

– I-I – there was a knock on the door.

– Ugggh – He face-palmed himself. I rolled my eyes.

The nurse came in and we looked at her a little annoyed to be honest.

– The visiting hours are over, she needs to rest – she said wincing.

I looked at her and then at Jinxx. His mouth was practically touching the floor. It was actually funny to say the truth.

 – Can you wait ten minutes? – I asked trying not to laugh.

 The nurse sighed and nodded.

– Just ten minutes, if the doctor comes, I haven't been here yet – she smiled and left.

I said thank you but she had already left. I turned to look at Jinxx. He glanced at the door and then at me.

– Are you going to tell me now? – I asked slightly laughing.

He nodded.
