Can We Kiss Forever - Kina

-

"Are you sure Charlotte? I mean, I don't want you to get hurt again." I stopped and turned around, eye to eye with my mother.

"Mom. What's with the sudden change of mind? You even said yourself how much has changed." Her head turned sideways and had her hand rubbing her neck.

"It's just."

"Just what mom?"

"I know what I said and I don't regret saying it, but you remember what happened in the past." Great, she's over thinking.

"Mom, the past is the past. We were young and dumb." I walked to my mother and put my hands on her shoulders. "We're now adults." I pulled her in for a hug. "Trust me mom. I know what I'm doing."

"I do trust you." She smiled lightly.

"I know."

I grabbed my duffle bag and went towards the door. "Thanks again for taking Aidan for a few days."

"It's not a problem Charlotte. Just be careful." As if I'm not careful enough.

"I'm going to get everything cleaned up. Before you know it, our lives should be back." She smiled lightly once again and I closed the door.

"Mommy!" Aidan came running, soaking wet.

"Are you having fun with grandpa?" My dad decided Aidan needed some fun and set up a slip n' slide.

"Yes! So much fun!" He was giggling and I could tell he was indeed having a blast.

"That's very good Aidan." I shook his wet hair. Oh how much he looked like Ashton. "Now Aidan, mommy is going to be back in a few days"

"Okay!"

"Okay? Come here you little goofball." I set my bag down and starting chasing him.

"Ahhhhh! Grandpa! Don't let mommy get me!"

"That's not my job squirt. You better run!"

"GOTCHA!"

"Ha hahahahah!" He squirmed and squirmed as I tickled him. "Mommy! Stoooooop! It tickles!"

"You better give me a hug and a kiss then."

He wiggled out of my grip and stood straight up. "Bye bye." I hugged him nice and tight and he kissed my cheek.

"Thank you Aidan. Now go have fun." He giggled and ran off.

"Bye dad." I waved one last goodbye and left.

I walked into this hospital with a smile on my face as I knew today was going to be a good day.

Shoving my train of thought aside I opened the hospital room door, still smiling.

Ashton was peacefully sleeping so I gently put my bag down and walked towards the side of him and slowly climbed and snuggled against his warm body.

He noticed I was here and adjusted himself so I was wrapped between his body and arms. My smile lit up even more as I grew warmer within him. I locked my hand with his and kissed it multiple times, showing a feeling of comfort.

"If the doctor saw us like this, she'd probably get mad." And the moment was ruined.

"Really Ashton? I thought we were having a nice moment." But neither of us moved. We stayed locked together, knowing we were safe with each other.

"I just thought you might not want someone walking in on us." I lift my head up to just stare at him, with a blank face. "Don't look at me like that. It creeps me out." His hand moved my face out of his view.

"Fine, I see how it is." With that, I started to get up but was soon grabbed at my waist and was pulled on top on him. "Ashton, your tubes!" I tried wiggling out of his grasp but he was holding on tight.

"It's fine. You're not going to hurt me." I quickly got out of his grasp and stood up, staring at him.

"It's not fine Ashton. Today is the day we find out whether or not you can come home soon. I won't risk messing anything up." I walked further from him, eventually pacing back and forth.

"Then why did you lay next to me once you got here?" I stared at him. "Relax relax, I'm just giving you shit. Listen, I feel fine, great even! I'm sure everything will be good and the doctors will tell us I can come home." He looked so happy and I didn't want to take that from in, so I gave in.

"Fine fine. You win." He patted his bed and I slowly walked over to him.

"You. Are. Mine." With that he put his lips to my ear and nibbled on it, slowly reaching to my neck, using the slightest bit of pressure to mark what's his.

"Good afternoon Mr-" My eyes widened, I pulled away from Ashton and just sat there.

*Cough* "Sorry, as you were saying." I could feel my cheeks burning out of embarrassment. I look over to Ashton who just had the biggest smile on his face.

Rolling my eyes I look back to the doctor.

"We have your results. So your stomach scans are clear, no signs of bleeding or damage. Everything has healed. That's exactly what we wanted." I smiled, maybe today will be a good day. "Your brain scans are still questionable though." And with that, everything was crushed.

"What do you mean?" I blurted.

The doctor sighed. "There's damage where all his memories are stored. It's not fully healed, and if he works too hard on things or gets overly emotional, it could cause a seizure, and that seizure could potentially be very harmful and lead to more problems. Therefore we cannot release you today. We'd like to continuing monitoring you over the next few weeks." I wanted to cry so bad. I knew I shouldn't have let my guard down and thought it was all going to be good news.

"So he can't put his brain through a lot of work and can't get overly emotional?"

"Yes, that's correct. Any of that will stress the brain, making the damaged area work harder, which would cause more damage."

"Will he be able to see his son?"

"That's a decision all on your own. I can't say no, but I can't say yes either. If seeing his son makes him get too emotional or making his brain work harder, it's going to have to be a no. Father to father." The doctor looked at Ashton. "I would give it a few weeks, your brain could heal within a week even if your careful with what you do." Ashton looked surprisingly okay. He didn't look sad at all.

"Thank you doctor. If you don't mind, I'd like to have some alone time." The doctor nodded and left. Ashton then grabbed my hands with his and gazed into my eyes, then smiled. "Charlie, look, I know this is tough. It wasn't how we wanted it to go. But I can't get too sad, or emotional in this case. I'm just going to accept it, okay?" My face was wet. Wet with tears sliding down my cheeks, slowly making their way to my mouth.

"But Ashton. I needed you to come home today. I wanted you to come home." His hand wiped my tears.

"And I know that. But listen. It's just another few weeks. I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere."

"But-"

"Shhhh. No buts." He pulled me closer to him, my head resting on this shoulder. His hand brushed through my hair and rubbed my back. I know he's trying to comfort me but I should be the one comforting him!

I know she's sad. Upset even. But I can't let her be that way forever. All I can do is comfort her. And I'm good at that.

I want to cry. I want to throw something. I want to be with her in my bed. Kiss her in the shower. Wrap my arms around waist. But I have to put that on hold. I need to heal first. Comfort her to the best of my ability, and just wait.

What about Aidan? It's just as worse, expectably since I won't be able to see him for a while longer now. I'm anxious but I'm holding on. I know I'll get to see him eventually.

"What do I tell Aidan." Her head lifted and I could tell she still hasn't stopped crying.

"Tell him that daddy misses him. Don't forget to brush your teeth." Charlie chuckled. "And I'll see him soon, just not now."

"Okay." She wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. "I'm okay now. I got it all out."

"Are you sure?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. See." She smiles, which makes me smile.

"Good." I crashed my lips on hers. Nice and gentle I kissed hers. It was smooth and soft. Now I knew I wanted her, but I also couldn't have her at the same time.

She started kissing faster. I couldn't resist. I really really wanted her.

"Oh fuck baby." I mumbled and slid her shirt off. Leaving her in just a bra.

"Come on, I know you want me." She took the words right out of my mouth and I couldn't stop. I unclamped her bra and kissed her body, leaving love marks to prove she's mine.
