“3. Hi, how are you? I am so glad you’re okay.”
He makes a content sound, burying his head in her chest.
I wind myself around her, too. “I love you, Malishka. Forever and always.”
Trikk
I let myself inside the room Bambi and Harris are in. I need to see for myself that she’s doing okay.
As I’m opening the door, Synn and Purge join me. “Need to see her too, bros?”
“Hell fucking yes.” Synn looks at me like I’m retarded; I just laugh.
“I need to hold her,” Purge adds, determination on his face.
We push our way inside, seeing her fast asleep with Ghost on one side, and 3 on the other.
Synn freaks the fuck out. “The fuck is he in bed with her for? This shit is not happening.”
“Calm down, bro. The poor guy is barely human. Can't blame a dude for wanting some love, right?” I toss up my hands.
“Really, Trikk?” Purge smacks me upside the head. “She’s ours. It's bad enough that Harris has been added, dammit.”
“Yeah, yeah. Good luck telling her that. If she’s dead set on him joining us, what the fuck are we going to do?” I snipe back.
“Kill the little motherfucker,” Synn emphasizes, nodding his head.
Before I can get another word in, Bambi wakes up. “Synn— if you touch 3, I’ll never forgive you. And I will slit your damn throat.”
Ghost chuckles softly next to her, looking at us with bleary eyes. “I’d listen to her. I, for one, am not telling her ‘no’ again.”
I just laugh out loud. “What he said.”
3 wakes up, looking around at us. He dead-ass looks Synn right in the eye and tightens his arm around her. Then, 3 kisses Bambi’s shoulder, slowly and deliberately.
I choke on my laughter. “I like your style, 3.”
Synn works his jaw. “No one touches Pazessca but us.” He stalks towards them, intent in his movements. He snatches up 3; depositing him out the door. Then he stands in front of it, arms crossed, blocking anyone else from getting in.
“Dammit Synn. Grow the fuck up,” Bambi yells at him, heat in her eyes.
There's a grunt from Harris, who’s just now waking up. His sister is by his side. She just giggles and blushes.
Harris deadpans, “This is why she fell for a real man.”
Pounding on the door interrupts Synn’s rebuttal. His face is beet red with anger.
The Doctor’s voice filters through. “I need in this room. You cannot bar the door. I will throw you out, if I have to!”
Synn steps away, clenching his fists, planting himself right next to Bambi.
Ghost gets out of the bed, kissing her softly.
I scoot over to her, kissing her also. She smiles at me, and my chest warms with love. I am so gone for this girl.
The Doctor walks over to Harris first, checking up on him. “Your vitals are good, and the stitches are looking good. Your blood test is back, and your numbers are all satisfactory. You're going to be fine, son.”
The Doctor comes to Bambi, checking her out, too. He scans the file he’s holding, nodding to himself. He then checks her bandages and stitches, cleaning the wounds and changing the dressing. “Your wounds look clean, not getting infected, which is good. Your vitals are good. Your blood test is encouraging. The blood we gave you is helping to raise your hemoglobin nicely. You're still a bit anemic, so I’m going to give you an iron infusion.”
