I paced around worriedly as soon as Harley said that to us.
"Kitten, everything is going to be fine".
"We don't really know that now, do we now, Jeremy?.
"Relax". He gives me a light hug. "I don't like you being all stressed out like this".
"I can't help it".
"I don't want you looking all like this just because of him. He wouldn't like that".
"You should be telling that to Harley, not me".
He gives me a light peck on the cheek and goes over to Harley to comfort her.
I waited for few more minutes before the doctor came out with his team.
Isla and Javan also came out with them as they talked. She looks back and sees up then excuses herself.
Isla comes to us. "Hey, stop with that look on your face. Kingston is alright".
"Can we see him?".
"Yeah sure".
I looked back at Harley thinking she would come to see Reece but she sat still on the waiting chair staring into space.
Jeremy says something to her before he walks over to me.
"Lets go .. ?".
I nodded. "Yeah sure".
Jeremy walked inside the private room first before I followed behind him still nervous.
I smiled happily as I saw him awake on the bed, there was an oxygen mask on his face and drips connected to his arm.
Jeremy sat next to him. "Dude, You got us scared".
"Why? Did you cry?". Reece teased him.
Jeremy tapped him playfully. "Shut that trap up".
"Ouch". He said as he rubbed the spot.
"But seriously? Dude, you got really got us damn scared. But, don't just do that again, please".
"Come on, Man. You know I don't make no promises". Reece replied playfully.
They hugged each other for a while doing that bro hug thing then pulled away after a while.
"And there's someone else who missed you too". Jeremy said as he moved back so Reece could see me.
"Hey". I smiled moving forward.
"Have fun". Jeremy winked at us as he left the room giving us privacy.
Reece tries to sit up propping himself with pillows.
"Easy there". I tell him.
He sat up nevertheless. "I'm fine, Nat".
"Oh really? That was what you kept saying then suddenly you fall unconscious on the floor".
"I was just weak, thats all".
"You got me scared and worried".
He holds my hand. "I'm sorry about that".
"Its okay, at least you are fine for now. That is the only thing I'm concerned for".
"Someone is getting a little clingy, showing love and affection". He teased me.
"Another word like that and trust me, I'm gonna get up right from this chair and leave you right away".
"You can't do that, Nat. You love me too much".
I stroke his cheek. "I guess thats my only weakness".
"Same here, Nat". He says smiling at me.
"So do you need anything? Should I get for you.. ? Or maybe you are not comfortable".
"Nat. I'm okay, stop being paranoid".
"I can't help it, Reece. I don't want to lose you". I whispered to him.
"I'm not gonna leave you, Nat. You are not losing me".
"Then why won't you just do the fucking surgery?". I ask him getting annoyed.
"Its not that easy, Nat". He says softly. "If I can do that, i will immediately".
"Then whats stopping you, Reece?".
"It will either be a Chemotherapy surgery or Radiation which ever one, means I needs a donor".
"I will give you mine, Reece. I will donate any of my organs just for you to stay alive".
"It has to be from a close relation so it can be a perfect match".
I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "What are you saying? Huh?".
"It has to be my parents or uncle, or aunt, a cousin, close relations".
"Who's the donor?".
He sighs lightly. "I don't know yet, Nat".
"Reece, you are dying". I say to him trying to hold back tears.
"I may be dying but that doesn't mean I will leave, have faith in me".
"I want to but you always make me believe otherwise".
He removes the oxygen mask. "I don't need any of these equipments to keep me stable, don't you believe that?".
"Reece, put that back on". I order.
He made to reply but starts coughing again so I quickly snatched the oxygen mask from him wearing it back on his face.
"You need to stop giving me heart attacks".
He rolled his eyes. "The mask makes me sick".
"You are sick". I remind him.
"Not in that way".
I caress his cheek. "Don't worry, you will be fine soon".
"So .. Is Alan dead yet?". He asks changing the subject.
I gasp lightly. "Reece".
"What?". He shrugs. "I just wanna know his life status right now, if he's alive or dead".
"Really? By wishing him death?". I look at him.
He smiles sheepishly. "What better thing to ask for?".
"You got to be kidding me, Reece".
"But seriously, whats happened to him?".
"When I saw him, his right eye was swollen and there was blood all over his face". I tell him. "He also had cuts on his arms".
"Cuts?".
"Large cuts".
"Thats more like it". He says satisfied.
I hit him playfully. "You really gotta to be kidding me".
"Hey watch it, i'm a wounded man here".
"Say that again and I'm gonna hit you". I say playfully.
"I really like you being this happy, Nat. And I wish it will remain like that forever".
"You were the one who helped me in being this happy Reece. If it wasn't for you, then who knows maybe what Alan would have done and what would happened to me?".
"I'm glad you let me in, Nat". He squeezes my palm softly.
"I'm also happy I did, you really helped me in overcoming my problems and I am so grateful for that".
"I'll do anything for you, remember that".
"And as you helped me then I'll also help you overcome your problems too".
He sighs a little. "I think they are a little too big for you too handle".
"You always seemed so happy".
"Huh?".
"I'm talking about the way you behaved at school, breaking the rules, consequences and all that".
"What about them?". He asks me.
"I didn't even imagine that you would have this kind of past, i always pictured you as a troublesome kid".
"What do you see now, Nat?".
"I see a broken person". I held his hand. "A broken guy trying to hide his problems, fear from the people around him. I see someone who needs absolute love, attention and care from his parents".
He smiles genuinely. "I no longer need all that from them".
"Why not?".
"I'm getting it already from you. All I ever wanted was for someone to really love me wholeheartedly and I found that someone within you".
"And you are saying?".
"I love you, Nat". His voice just sounded so genuine. "With all my heart, i really do".
"I love you more, Reece". I smile back tears. "And I hope you get out of this".
"I hope so too". He whispered.
I nodded and wiped my cheeks for any sign of tears not wanting to feel weak.
"Don't you think I need something right now?".
"You want me to flop your pillow?".
He shook his head. "No, not that".
"What could you possibly need?". I asked curious.
"A kiss". He smirked. "From you".
I chuckled lightly. "Reece, come on".
"Please Nat".
"We are in the hospital premises". I tell him.
He pouted. "Just a kiss for your boyfriend".
"Reece .. ". I warned.
"Who knows? It might just do the trick of healing me".
"Since when does kissing become the cure for lung cancer?".
"Haven't you seen it in those disney movies?".
I look at him. "Disney movies?".
"Yeah". He smiled sheepishly. "A kiss from your true loves heals the Prince".
"You gotta be kidding me". I was amused by what he said.
"In this case, i am the prince and you are my true love".
"I'm not buying that".
He groans. "Nat, haven't you watched the SnowWhite movie or the sleeping beauty?".
"And you are sure that if I kiss you, you will get healed?". I asked amused.
"Absolutely sure about it".
I moved closer towards him breathing his amazing scent and thats when I take a long breath.
Our faces are now inches from each other and soon, our lips are touching softly and the sparks I feel are indescribable.
His lips moves on mine, so intense giving me a tingling feeling all over my body.
Right when his tongue is about to touch mine, he pulls away.
"So are you healed now?". I asked him as amusement show all over my expression.
"I don't think that did the trick at all". His lips curves into a smile. "I wouldn't know until you kiss me again".
