“You can’t promise that Naseer, you are too quick to anger to control it.”
“I can and I promise you that won’t happen.” I nod though I doubt he has ever seen how scary he looks. “Please sit with me, if you don’t, I won’t do my therapy and I won’t call my friends.”
“Fine, I’ll sit with you only on the condition that you are nicer to your nurses. I don’t like you yelling at them.” I do want him back on his feet so he can return to seeing the world and enjoying life again.
“Okay, I will be patient and nicer to my nurses,” he says grumbling.
I took my usual seat next to his bed and mentioned James to him. I noticed he’d frowned, but I needed to talk to someone, and he’s the only close friend I have besides Tito. Telling Taimani would be telling the whole school which would be a social suicide. James is now talking to me, last few days when I didn’t visit Naseer, I stayed back at school to talk with James.
“So, you like this James boy.”
“Yes, and I think he likes me too, so what should I do?” I eagerly ask.
“Don’t do anything. He’ll come to you. If he’s serious,” he answers dryly.
“Thanks, Naseer.” Happy for his advice, we returned to our old selves, and I spent the day telling him more about James.
He listened without any comment but a stoic face and didn’t laugh at any of the funny stuff James and I did. After a long moment of him not responding or laughing. I changed the topic and played a movie.
NASEER
Thedamnsloppynursehas me in an upright position. As always, she forgot most of the supplies to treat my back wound. Now I’m upright and uncomfortably awaiting her return. Jade will be here soon, and I do not want her to see my marred body.
It’s too early to scare her away from me with a body that looks like mine. Before I could reach my call bell. I hear the tap on the door. “Hi Gent”. My eyes widen. Fuck!She’s early.I look at the mirror that the nurse uses to show me my back.
She can’t see my face from where she’s standing, I can see her face through the mirror. I wait for the look of despair and disgust. “Gent, can you hear me?”
“Yes, sorry. I’m not comfortable in this position and the nurse says she forgot stuff to dress my back” She’s now in front of me. Untidy as always in her uniform, smiling at me. I chuckle back, though I would prefer she didn’t see my scar.
“I can dress your wound if you don’t mind, so you can lie back down. I used to help my mom. She was an ortho nurse.” I nod as I search her face for the look that’ll tell me she’s disgusted by my body. When I look at her, all I see is a smiling face.
“I think I have most of what I need here, not sure what the nurse thought she forgot” She rubs the healing ointment on my back. Her touch on my body sends waves of pleasure and pain all over my body and mind. Pleasure my body is experiencing at her touch and pain because I can’t respond to the pleasure. I haven’t felt this kind of pleasure in months. It’s a release, but I must stay controlled and sit through it all. Her closeness makes it possible to sniff her floral scent, with her touch arouses my senses.
I know I like her company, but the awakened body response is new to me, my senses are heightened by her closeness. My whole being wanted to claim every part of her. My body is fighting within itself to break free and wrap her body around me. I close my eyes to exact control and remain calm as she wraps the elastic bandage around my body. Just as she’s finishing, the nurse comes in
“I’m so sorry, Prince Naseer, to have kept you waiting. I had to get more ointment and a new wrap, and when I couldn’t find the bandage after looking, I realized it’s already here.” She stops in her tracks when she notices Jade already did her job. “Oh, Hello Ms. Bankole.”
“Hi, Nurse Jenson. Hope you don’t mind me helping.” She turns a smiling face to the nurse.
“Not at all, long as Prince Naseer is okay with that.” This stupid woman just revealed my title to Jade.
“I don’t mind, just help me lie back down.” They both assist in getting me to lie back down.
“Do you need anything else, Your Highness?”
“No, please leave,” I snap at her, she packs up and leaves. I know I specifically told them not to address me as Prince Naseer in Jade’s presence. Once again, this woman has shown her incompetency.
Right now, I need to focus on Jade.
She pulls her usual chair and sits next to me. “Did I hear Nurse Jenson calling you Prince Naseer or are my ears acting up?” she asks, no point lying to her.
“You heard her correctly. I’m Prince Naseer.”
“Oh, my god! I didn’t know, no one told me,” She covered her face in embarrassment.
“It’s fine, I still prefer you call me Gent, anyway.”
“I feel so silly. I’d heard about Prince Naseer in whispers since I landed in Rhanaz, but I didn’t connect the dots that you aretheprince. Taimani said nothing either, and the prince has a different last name from you and Taimani. Just how are you, the prince? Everyone keeps whispering about for fear of being thrown in the dungeons and you are Taimani’s brother. She’s not a princess, as far as I know.”
