Kelly rushed out to get to work in time. She got lost in her thoughts, reminiscing about her life and her past that she neglected a very common thing she would do on her daily routines: taking her meds after her morning meals. Kate did not doubt why her mom was taking them because they were stored in a bottle with a vitamin label. But the mom warned Kate never to take from it as it doesn't suit her age. And Kate did not ask any more questions. It was not questionable if her mom would take vitamins to bother asking so much.Thinking she still had time in her hands earlier, Kelly leisurely ate her breakfast and sipped on her herbal tea as she looked back on things about her life journey.When she noticed she was running out of time and did not have much left to get to work without being late, she hurried on her way to her car. Yet, as a responsible driver, she was careful and checked her ways for safety.But as she was about to get
Nick was already by the gates when Kate came out of the school premises. Without so much talk, the two arrived at the hospital. Just as everyone expected, Kelly's family did not hesitate to sign the papers to make the surgery happen.Kate was dazed ever since she got into Nick's car until they reached the nurse's station and heard what they needed to do as soon as they arrived. Her hands were shaking as she signed the papers. Nick assisted her all the way. Nick was nervous, too. He was aware that Kate was in great shock. But he was more composed than Kate. He felt the need to stay strong for Kate to lean and depend on. He had just lost his dad, and Nick knew how it felt to be helpless.They waited for hours by the operating room door. Nurses would come and go, but no one talked to Kate and Nick about how the surgery was going. The wait must have pulled the last string of bravery in her. After three hours of waiting and Kelly was still inside the o
Six months later..."Mom, I'm back," Kate gleefully greeted Kelly as soon as she arrived at the door to her VIP ward.No response. Only the sounds of Kelly's vital signs monitor next to the patient's bed could be heard."Did you miss me?" Kate asked again. She started to walk towards the adjacent toilet and bath in the room. She carefully washed her hands as she continued to tell her mom about her day, even from a distance."The weather is so nice. A picnic would be so lovely," Kate spoke as she walked back to her mom's side. "Mom, I missed you," she kissed her mom's forehead and looked down at her mom's peacefully sleeping form. Kate could not tell if she was hallucinating or if it was indeed true that she saw a faint smile on Kelly's face. When she looked closely, it wasn't the same. Kate shook her head. How much does she miss her mom's smile to hallucinate about it?Kelly had been in a coma after the
The two started to eat their dinner, but their teasing and lighthearted banter did not stop. Nick occasionally would invite Kelly to join their conversation as if Kelly was awake and just lying down on the bed next to them."Mom, please tell me, what did she say to you?" Nick asked with his spoon lightly pointing towards Kate.Kate just continued munching on her food with smiles. Nick was satisfied to see that his strategy to lighten Kate's mood was working out. She was smiling like she did not beg her mom to wake up as she worried Nick would leave her side."Can't I just hear them from you directly?" Nick pried. He was honestly eager to know what Kate said to Kelly earlier."I can't," Kate shortly replied.What Kate whispered to Kelly was a question."Mom, what do you think about him as my boyfriend?"She was hoping it would stimulate and provoke Kelly to wake up.She was using a d
"Now, I am scared to go home," Nick mindlessly uttered.Kate was silenced by what Nick had just said, but she was unaware of what he really meant. She was looking at her mom when Nick reacted in surprise, she just heard his voice. Kate thought he was still in his playful acts. She winked at him, but that was too quick before she looked back at her mom again.Nick was scared, playfully and honestly.He did not mean his thoughts to be said out loud, and so when Kate turned her head to look at him with a playful smirk, he was like a deer caught in the headlights."Let's go, Nick, honey," Kate giggled as she walked away from her mom's bed but not before kissing her forehead again. She gathered her backpack from the foot end of Kelly's bed.She was feeling bold. She did not want to feel sad leaving her mom for the night, so she kept her light-hearted manner. She even wanted to add the sillier words of, "Let'
Kate did not want to talk to Nick. She did not answer his calls on her name even though she clearly heard them. Not only did she not want to say anything, but she was also so hurt that she felt a huge lump was in her throat. Swallowing her own spit was even difficult. Kate's tears came out of control. She tried to hide the sounds, so she buried her face on her pillow as soon as she got inside her room. She was in so much haste she did not get to lock her door. But she could admit, locking the door did not come into her mind. But when Nick came in and walked closer to her on the bed, Kate felt her heartache intensify. His soft and sounding concerned voice pained her more. She could not help sobbing.Nick panicked and did not hesitate to hold Kate by her arms to turn her over so he could see her face."Kate?!" Nick called her name again countless times already. But this time, agony filled his voice.Nick felt a sharp pang of pain in his heart when he saw her reddened fa
Nick tried to convey and make known to Kate how he really feels about her, how he feels for her, how he wants to express to her his desires and longing without restraints. He was worried about how Kelly would react to his indecency. Knowing the latter was still lying in a coma state in the hospital, but his first concern right now is to make his beloved Kate feel the honesty and sincerity of his words.Nick used his knees and an elbow as his support not to press Kate down on the bed, but he made sure his right hand was free to touch her. He kissed all her tears away. Nick gently held Kate's left cheek to make sure she wouldn't move away to escape his kisses as his lips trailed from her forehead to the bridge of her nose, to her lips and chin. Kate did not resist, but she also did not know how to respond. With her eyes still tightly shut, she did not know what Nick was doing aside from feeling the touch of his lips all over her face. Then she felt his kisses on her lips, p
Nick dared to be bolder. Kate was wearing her school skirt uniform although she was wearing a t-shirt on top. Nick's hand softly crept up on her legs, going higher up to her thighs. He moved to get a more comfortable position so he could extend his hand and reached for the hem of her skirt. And as his hands have cleared the path on her lower skin for his lips to trail kisses on, Nick positioned himself in between Kate's thighs. His kisses spread from left to right of her legs and inner thighs, which involuntarily clamps to hide her lady parts away from Nick's eager eyes."Nick...?" Kate's voice has turned soft and husky. She has been breathing with her mouth ajar, followed by soft moans and whimpers of ecstasy. Nick looked up at Kate, who now has her legs folded with knees towards the ceiling and soles flat on the bed while Nick's arms wound around from under her thighs to her abdomen and hands-on her pubic bone. He saw a different beauty in her. A deadly sinful yet
