“Motherfucker,” he yelled so loudly I flinched.
One of our first stops after we were free would have to be shopping fornon-button-fly jeans.
Though he looked pretty good in those.
Yeah. Helping him escape the hospital was exactly what we both needed.
Chapter Twelve
Damon
“Goodtoseeyouup, Damon,” someone said from my right as I was walking. I nodded, but had no clue who I was nodding at.
Sounds bombarded me. Clacking on a keyboard, whispers, yells, cries, moans, beeps. They jackhammered my skull. “Son of a bitch.”
“Damon?” Lizzie’s voice cut above all the noise. “What’s wrong?”
“Can’t concentrate.”
“Okay. Um…we’re walking by the desk. There are four nurses there. Two in front of a computer, then another standing there, watching us, as she’s eating popcorn from a bag.”
“Burned.”
“Yeah. Totally. I hate that smell.” She giggled as she guided me by the hand. “I saw in movies that the blind person liked to walk beside the sighted person, holding her elbow. You wanna try that? Or your cane?”
“I just want you to keep talking.” She was drowning out all the other shit going around in my head. I must have super hearing now. Which totally sucked.
“I talk a little when I get nervous. Sorry.”
“Don’t be. Keep going.” I loosened my grip on her and followed along her arm until I felt her elbow. At least I hadn’t grabbed boob that time.
Jeez. I was out of control.
A wave of grape hit my senses. She had another Blow Pop out, didn’t she? I so wanted one. Along with her, they were going to be my next addiction. I’d tasted a hint of strawberry on her tongue earlier. Couldn’t wait to taste this one.
Focus!
“Elevator coming. You good?”
I shifted the backpack over my shoulder and asked, “How many steps?”
“Um, ten maybe? Want to try your stick?”
“Hellz to the no.” I hated that thing. One time I tried it yesterday, and I almost broke it in two. Damn blind stick. But she was right. Holding onto her elbow as she led was easier. I could move better with her next to me.
“Have fun on your walk,” a familiar voice called out. “It’s a beautiful night.”
“That was Nurse Sasha. I think she has a crush on you,” Lizzie said with a laugh. “Okay. Stopping in front of the elevator. Any idea where we’re going yet?”
“You’re in charge.”
“Ugh.”
“You can do it, LizBelle.”
“The minute I walk into the hotel with you, Angelina and Hunter will find out. Then again, it’s almost ten at night. Hunter might be at the bar, and Angelina is more than likely hanging out at her place.”
“You going to sneak me into your room?” I wouldn’t mind at all, especially if I got to sleep with her. I didn’t get a sense that she was upset with my super speedy mack session on the floor. She was a little quieter, maybe, but that was all I got the sense of.
