Love Has No Label

chapter 2

Noelle's POV

Abbey will be coming home today.
Her project defense was a day before.
I'm so excited.

My parents are planning a warm dinner party to welcome her home.
Its meant to be a surprise so I'm not telling her yet.

I helped my mom set the table. Dad was sitting on the couch listening to 4 O'clock news.
So old fashioned

****

It was dinner time. We held our hands together and said the grace.

"What does it feel like to be getting ready for law school?" My mom asked abbey who had chips in her mouth.
She took a sip of her water and thought for a while.
"I'm kinda having mixed feelings you know.
I'll be away for a long time"

She said thoughtful.
The atmosphere was getting emotional so I just chipped in

"I'm gonna miss you fug head "

"language " my mom scolded

We all laughed.

I think I laughed a little too hard because I almost choked.

After dinner, I stood up to clear the table.
My knee felt numb and I felt dizzy. the last thing I heard was my dad saying

'Abbey Get the car key'

****

I opened my eyes to Abbey who looked like she has been crying.

'Hey' she called
I gave a half smile

' you scared the shit out of me' she said making a face

She looked cute when she made a face but I wasn't going to tell her

My mom walked towards me. She had bags beneath Her eyes I'm guessing she didn't get much sleep.

She had this look anytime she was mad at me
"You think you can kill me"

Abbey and I giggled while she rolled her eyes at us.

'How do u feel?' She asked finally

"I'm fine ma" I replied sarcastically

Abbey punched me slightly laughing a bit

'If I get high blood pressure just know your stubbornness caused it'
Mom said jokingly

' I'm still your favourite child right?'
I asked pouting.

Abbey turned to face my mom. She could tell we where messing with her

She laughed mid way before saying ' well, because you're sick I'll say yes'

It was abbey's turn to laugh at me. Sticking her tongue out.

"Looks like someone's having a good time"

A lady said and walked towards us. She had a smile plastered to her face. She was wearing a black dress that ran mid thigh, almost competing with her lab coat.
Her leg was toned. The light makeup she had on made her oval face standout.
Plus her dimple were breathtaking.

Isn't this kind of too sexy for a doctor? I Said to myself .

Elle you're drooling I scolded myself

She didn't look like any of those baggy looking doctors who looked a bit too old and wore oversized lab coat.

She must be an intern I thought.

'I'll be taking samples for the test'

she announced before she proceeded to pick the syringe and cotton wool from the tray which she securely placed on the bed.

I hated the feel of needle against my skin so this was going to be tough.

She tied the band on my arm just above my elbow. I could see the veins popping out on my hand.

I guessed she sensed my uneasiness and went ahead to rub my hand in a bid to comfort me.

Well that sort of made my heart to race twice its normal speed.

She stared at me and smiled softly.

'That was good' she complimented.
I'll be back to book you for surgery'

With that she was out.

Wait what? A surgery I said aloud.

"The doctor said the appendix is almost ruptured and requires an immediate surgery" mom explained

Abbey held my hand the whole time.
