Chapter 27 Chapter 27
Tessa
I watched him swallow his words and stormed out. I knew he was angry, but if he didn't want me to call him Grumpy again, he should just say his name out loud or else leave me to keep calling him by his nickname generated by me.
"Tessa," I heard Mr. Samuel's voice dragging me back to reality.
"What?" I raised my gaze, and he gave me a keen look as if he had an idea of what I was thinking about.
"I saw those eyes," he said with a puckered mouth, and I scoffed continuously.
"Which eyes?" I hissed inwardly, but he didn't get angry at me, instead, his reading face increased.
"The eyes you gave to the doctor. Don't tell me you have a thing for him?" He pointed to the direction the doctor had used earlier.
I quickly stood up with a loud gasp. "No, how could you say that?" I waved my hand in the air. The person I had something for was the one lying on the bed, not Mr. Grumpy. How I wished I could say that aloud. Too bad I can't unless I want to get myself into trouble.
"I don't have my eyes on him, and I would never.." He should cut the crap and let me have a breathing nose.
He was about to speak when the door swung wide open. My mom stepped in with a tired face.
"My daughter," she called, walking toward me and pulling me into a tight hug.
She pulled away from the hug and held my two shoulders. "How are you?" she asked with a dry smile.
I touched her cheeks, caressing them slowly before nodding my head. "I'm fine, Mom. Are you done at work now?" I requested.
"Yes, my boss granted me two days' leave," she answered, turning her gaze to Mr. Carter on the bed. "I wish that by then, he should be awake."
Mr. Samuel cleared his throat, gaining our attention. Mom looked scared, as if she wasn't expecting to see him, especially with the position he was in right now.
He was sitting on the floor, his two hands grasping his two legs together.
"Mr. Samuel," she called, dropping her bag on the chair.
"Mila," he called, standing up.
The two exchanged pleasantries with a handshake. I only watched them like a movie.
"Seems you've been crying, your face looks pale," he said, and my mom choked.
"Of course, I have to, but not anymore. The doctor assured us he should be awake in two days to come, so I'm hoping for the two days to tick by quickly. I can't wait to have him back at home," she gushed, her eyes darting from me to Carter to Mr. Samuel.
"Really? Then let's hope for the day to come," his tone was now different from the one he used for me. He looked so serious then, before, I wondered what changed him.
"Tessa," Mom called.
"Yes, Mom," I replied.
"I think you should go home now, go and change into something and rest. In the evening, you can come meet me here. You haven't taken a proper rest since the incident happened," she said.
"No, Mom, I'm fine. Let me just stay here until he wakes up, then we can all go home," I replied, but she shook her head in denial.
"No, you can't wait here for three days without changing clothes or taking a bath, can you?" she said, looking me up and down, and I did the same.
It's true, I couldn't keep up in the hospital without changing.
"Okay then, I'll be back in a jiffy," I said to her.
"Take your time, okay? You've tried enough," she smiled warmly, and I returned the smile.
"Because she said you should take your time doesn't mean you should go and bury yourself at home, do quick and be back" Mr. Samuel instructed.
I glared at him annoyingly "Yes" I replied before storming out of the hospital room.
I walked outside the hospital, praying inwardly not to see Leah, since I had no idea if she was still in the hospital or not. I walked hastily, like a stray cat, until I got out of the hospital and grabbed a taxi.
I gave the taxi driver my address, and he started driving. Some minutes later, I arrived home and paid him.
I walked to the house, opened the door, and the usual scent filled my nostrils. I could also smell Mr. Carter's usual perfume, which made me miss him even more.
I closed the door and walked to my room to take a quick shower, maybe prepare a small meal for Mom before heading back to the hospital.
I undressed and walked to the bathroom. A smile crept into my mind when I saw the cucumber I bought the other day.
I had wanted to throw it out, but I hesitated. I thought it would have spoiled by now, but it was still intact, with just a slight change in color.
I walked toward it and pick it up, I stroke it up and down, naughty thoughts crept into my mind.
This isn't the best time for this, but I miss being touched, I miss being held tightly, and I miss the intimacy.
I grabbed the cucumber and walked to sit in the bathroom stool, parting my legs. I can't believe I was going to do this.
I stroked the cucumber against my skin, feeling my body respond. "I miss this so much," I murmured under my breath.
I caressed my breast slowly, my fingers dancing on my nipple generating a wave shiver running down my spin.
My middle fingers find it way down my pussy and I played with the open front before penetrating the finger inside of me, a slow moan escaped my lips as I shifted my head to the other side.
I removed my fingers and sucked into it, tasing myself on my lips.
