“Fine. I will go home then,” she turned to leave.
“You are home.”
“No, I’m not. You’re treating me like a stranger and not the partner that you said I was.”
“What do you want me to say, Vee? My dick doesn’t work? I can’t make love to you because I can’t get hard? What is there to discuss?”
“For starters, what do we do now? How do we not let this stop us? How do we keep moving forward? We can’t stop here.”
“What do we do, Vee, humph? Tell me what do I do when I want to be inside of you so bad that it causes me physical pain? Tell me what to do when I feel you rubbing up against me but not have any physical reaction?”
“I don’t know!”
“Exactly! And that feeling is something that I cannot explain to you! You wouldn’t understand!”
“Hold up, El. I may not know what you are going through physically but I understand the pain of wanting to be with someone so bad and you can’t. I came into your hospital room every single day for a month and experienced that gut-wrenching feeling. I could understand if you would just talk to me.”
“You know what? It’s cool. Go to your apartment.”
I turned around to look out the window.
“Samuel don’t turn your back on me,” Averie said through gritted teeth.
I didn’t move.
“SAMUEL! I have been very patient with you. Don’t you fuckin’ turn your back on me! You don’t get to pick and choose when we are a team and when we aren’t. You turn your ass around and face this shit.”
I turned around glaring at her after hearing her choice of words.
“You might as well fix your face and stop taking your frustrations out on me. Shit, I’m horny too, but I can be patient and wait on you.”
“That’s the thing! I don’t want you to keep putting your life on hold because of my situations! First the coma and now this?”
“What the hell are you talking about? Neither of those situations was your fault!”
That’s the same thing JD said.
“Vee, I’m just tired, so I know you are. You didn’t come into this relationship to be a maid and a born-again virgin.”
“I came into this relationship to love you.That’s it. That’s what I want to do, and that’s what I am going to do.”
“What if this never gets better?”
“It will. But, for argument’s sake, say it does not, then we will be two celibate, aggressive ass attorneys, kicking ass and taking names.”
“I don’t want you to do that for me.”
“It’s not for you. It’s for us. You never back down from a fight so why start now?”
“You don’t want to run? I wouldn’t blame you if you did.”
“As amazing as your stroke is, that’s not why I fell in love with you. You said forever. You’ve never lied to me before, so I’m holding on to your word.”
I pulled her into a hug.
“Thank you for avoiding that argument earlier. I know you would have shredded me.”
“I know things are weird right now, so you get a pass.”
