“I know, baby.I’ll find a good female one for you.We’ll tell her about your inexperience, too, so she’s aware of it.”
Angel nodded, sighed, and was asleep within the next second.He started to worry he might have given her too much, but then remembered Daisy telling him it was a very low dose, and two pills wouldn’t hurt her, but it would definitely help with the pain, and that’s what he wanted.
He planned on staying with her until she felt better.When she woke up, he’d go down and get them some food.He didn’t want her to miss a single meal.She had put on a few pounds, so she no longer looked emaciated, but she could still stand to gain another fifteen to twenty pounds.
He was surprised he’d fallen asleep.He never took naps, so he guessed holding her calmed him enough to relax sufficiently to rest.
Thomas glanced at the window and determined it was late afternoon.After checking to make sure she was still sleeping deeply, he carefully rolled out of bed and headed down to the kitchen.
Daisy was at the stove when he strolled in.
“How’s our girl?”Daisy asked.
“Much better.She’s sleeping deeply right now.”
Daisy nodded.“Good.That’s what she needs.”
“I thought I’d grab some food and take it upstairs.”
“I made chicken salad sandwiches, and I cut up some fruit.Everything you need is in the refrigerator.”
“That sounds good.Thank you,” he said before he started pulling things out and setting them on the tray Daisy had put on the counter next to the refrigerator.
“I’ll probably be upstairs for the rest of the night.If there are any problems, have the guys call up to the room.”
“I’ll do that.You just concentrate on getting that sweet girl better.”
Thomas smiled and lifted the tray.“That’s my plan.”
He gently closed the bedroom door before setting the tray on the nightstand.He sat down next to her hip and rolled her onto her back.“Baby, wake up for me.”
It took a few more times before she blinked and then opened her eyes.He could tell she was still feeling the effects of the pills.“I want you to eat what you can, and then you can go back to sleep.”
“I’m not hungry,” she said.
“I know.But you will feel better with something in your stomach.”
“I’ll try.”
“Good girl.Let me help you sit up.”He lifted her and situated her back against the headboard.When he thought she was comfortable, he set the tray on the mattress close to her.
“Daisy made one of my favorites.I think you’ll like it.”
He handed her a fourth of a sandwich and watched as she took her first bite.He smiled when she looked surprised.
“This is very good,” Angel said.“What is it?”
“Chicken salad.”
“I’ve never had this before.”She kept eating until she’d consumed half a sandwich.
He ate her other half and then his own.They both finished off the fruit.He was pleased with how much she was able to eat.
“How about a bathroom break to go potty and brush your teeth?You should check the pad, too?”
“Yes, please.”
She was unsteady on her feet, so he helped her into the bathroom and to the toilet.“I’ll give you a minute to pee, but call out to me when you’re done.”
