“Baby, your face is beet red,” he said hunkering down in front of me, and I burst into tears.
“Oh my god, Hyde, I feel like my leg’s on fire.”
“Why the fuck didn’t you say anything?” he growled, standing, and grabbing my purse. “You need to take your meds.”
“Don’t yell at me,” I sniffed, and he sighed sliding his knuckles gently over my cheek.
“Don’t like seein’ you in pain, GoGo.”
I nodded, tears streaming down my face so bad, I couldn’t see. I pushed my purse at him. “I need you to find the stuff.”
He unzipped my purse just as the worried voice of Mina called out, “Ekyll?”
“Indy?” Bellamy added as she carried Mina over to us. “Hey, you okay?”
“She needs her meds,” Jekyll said, pulling out my prescription bottle and handing me a pill.
“I’ll grab water,” Bellamy said, setting Mina down. “Be right back.”
Mina came over and settled her hand in mine. “Are your booboos bad?”
“Yeah, baby. But I’ll be okay,” I breathed out. “How are you doing?”
“I like mint chip ice cream.”
I chuckled. “Yeah?”
She bobbed her head up and down.
“I bet we can talk Jekyll into buying that and some other flavors so we can taste test this week. What do you think?”
Her head whipped so quickly, I thought it might fly off her neck as she stared up at Jekyll.
He rolled his eyes but managed to paste a smile on his lips as he nodded. “I can do that.”
Mina gasped and she could barely keep the excitement off her face as she leaned her head against my shoulder. Bellamy returned with my water, and I took my meds, trying really hard not to completely break down.
“I need to get Indigo home,” Jekyll said.
“I’ll follow,” Bellamy said. “Are you good to come with me, Mina?”
She shook her head. “Ekyll.”
“It’s fine. She can come with us,” I said. “Mina’s good at taking care of me and I’m sure Jekyll can use some help.”
Mina smiled and nodded as she patted my arm gently.
“I’m gonna get you into the car, then Mina,” Jekyll said.
“I can get Mina in,” Bellamy said. “I’ll do final checks here and should be at your place in less than an hour.”
“Thanks,” I said, and Jekyll lifted me into my car, buckling me in while Bellamy took care of Mina.
We drove home where he tried to force me to go to bed, but I reminded him he could not be alone with Mina, so that was a no-go.
“When’s Bellamy gettin’ here?” he growled.
“Soon,” I said, taking a deep breath as I shifted in my recliner.
