“Uh, okay?”
Stepping around Gibsie, I moved to his bedside.
“Don’t you dare!” Mrs. Kavanagh barked, causing me to jerk back and Johnny to groan.
“Spoilsport,” Johnny huffed.
“John, tuck those blankets under the mattress,” she instructed before turning her glare on her son. “I don’t care how high you are, Jonathan Robert Kavanagh Jr., I will cut it off if you so much as think about showing her.”
“Show me what?” I asked nervously.
“My dick,” Johnny announced, twisting to face me. “You wanna see?” He smiled lazily up at me. “It’s all better now.”
Gibsie threw his head back and howled laughing.
Mr. Kavanagh joined him.
“And Jesus wept,” Mrs. Kavanagh sobbed.
“He’s high, little Shannon,” Gibsie explained, still snickering. “As a fucking kite.”
“Oh, well, that’s okay,” I whispered, feeling my cheeks flame in embarrassment.
“Hold my hand,” Johnny instructed, flapping a hand out toward me.
I looked to his mother, unsure whether she would mind me touching her son in this condition.
Mrs. Kavanagh just sighed and nodded.
“I was worried about you,” I told him, taking his big hand in mine. “You gave me an awful fright.”
“And I was worried about you,” Johnny replied, wide-eyed and sincere. “I’m always worried about you.”
He tugged hard and dragged me onto the bed.
“Johnny!”
“It’s okay,” I assured Mr. Kavanagh before taking an uncertain seat at the edge of his bed.
I had no choice in this. It was either sit on the edge of Johnny’s bed or let him pull me on top of him because he wasn’t letting go.
“I didn’t know where you were,” Johnny continued to tell me as he shook his head, looking all flustered and sounding confused. “I thought I lost you…and my head? My head is hiiiigh as balls, baby.”
He called you baby.
He called you baby again.
“I’m here now,” I whispered, unable to stop my smile at how adorable he was in this moment. “And you’re going to be okay.”
“I love you, Shannon like the river,” he slurred.
My heart stopped.
Did he just?
No. No, of course he didn’t.
“I fucking love you,” Johnny said again.
