Autumn's Perspective
-2 months later-
I finally get to go home and take this bulky cast off. However, I do have to wear a brace and go to physical therapy for the next couple weeks.
My teammates came and dropped off stuff for me wishing me to heal quickly, which I was grateful for.
Blake barely left my side, always doing things for me, he even helped me shower. Of course he didn't see me but he'd help me get to and from the bathroom and brought me my close.
After two weeks, it started to get boring in that not so spacious hospital room, it was really hard to find something fun to do in the room. I am very happy I get to back to my own bed.
Blake insisted that he carry me to the car because I can't walk just yet.
"Okay Princess let's take you to the car," I hear as Blake walks into the room. He slowly picks me up and very carefully takes to the entrance unfortunately for Blake, I was on the 6th floor of the hospital.
Once we got to my house, Blake gets a piece of paper and writes on the title, 'Bucket List'.
"What are you doing?" I sleepily ask.
"You'll see," he playfully sings.
"Do you remember the last time you surprised me... Yeah, I ended up in the hospital," I sarcastically replied.
"Hmm fair point." he says to me jumping on my bed with me.
"What could you possibly want now?" I ask tired of all his crazy ideas. I put an arm over my head, when it goes dead silent. I peak at Blake and he is smirking at me, I know what he was thinking.
"Ew you pervert no!" I laugh pushing his shoulder. He just shrugs his shoulders. I start to wonder what that was about. He's never been that flirty with me.
"Well I wanna take you on another adventure," I cut him with a snarky comment,
"Why so you can break my arm?" I shake my head at him.
"No!" He screams at me. "It's just a little adventure, you're not gonna get hurt," he says to me. "I don't think you will," he says with a grin on his face as I throw a pillow at him.
"Why where are we going now?" I whined not wanting to go anywhere today.
"It's a surprise dummy. You can't know," Blake reasons with me. "I'll go pack some of your clothes," he says rather happily. I watch him as he sketchily makes his way to my walk in closet. And then it dawns on me...
"You better not be going through my underwear!" I yell at him from the bed. I hear him laughing, which causes me to smile.
"No promises! You can't do anything about it anyway!" he exclaims back at me. I fall back into the bed exhausted.
"Fine but you better pick out nice clothes!" I make him hear me. He comes back holding a skirt and tank top.
"So it's gonna be hot where we are going," I state looking at him.
"Kinda but I also wanna see ya in a skirt," he smiles a cheeky grin at me. I just shake my head in disappointment.
"Okay well are you going to blind for me again or tie me up?" I sarcastically throw at him.
"Oh don't temp me," he throws back at me. I chuckle cause of his little joke in it.
"Okay leave I gotta change," I kick him out of my room, well not really kick but you get it.
"Alright fine I'll just go warm up the car. You sure you don't need my help changing?" He asks with his hands up. I throw my pillow at him and he retreats to the car.
-30 minutes later-
It was an hour's drive until the city.
"What are we doing in the city?" I ask looking out the window.
"We are going to play a game," he replies.
"A game? What? Where?" I ask irritated. Blake pulls out the blindfold and makes me put it on.
"Okay what do you hear?" I listened carefully and heard laughter and an ice cream truck.
"Laughter maybe kids, ice cream truck, and...animals?" I question. Where the hell are we I thought. You're probably wondering how I can hear a small sound mixed among others. I have selective hearing, my senses are strongest when I use my ears. I blocked out the laughter and the ice cream truck and heard the roar from afar.
"Good, you get the first point," Blake takes off the blindfold. I look around and saw we were at the city zoo. It wasn't the biggest zoo but it had some pretty cool animals. I turn and see a tiger and realize where the roar came from.
"Okay I'm all down for winning but what are we doing?" I ask confused.
"So basically we have to guess what we hear or feel?" he explains. "I blindfolded you and you guessed what you heard, now you blindfold me and take me somewhere to guess something," he continued.
"So we walk around and guess things?" I say trying to sound bored.
"Well the person who has the less points is the loser who pays for dinner," Blake made a good point out of this game. He knows I'll win, I have great control over my senses.
"Okay let the games begin!" I yelled as we went around.
-3 hours later-
Blake and I felt like there was nothing left to guess from except the bathrooms, which were gross so we called game. Obviously I won it was pretty fun to guess and feel the different animals or hear the different machines.
We left and tired to figure what to eat, Blake decided on Chinese food and I choose to stay in. We got comfortable and ate our Chinese. We were watching The Notebook, I know very girly but yesterday night we watched The Ring and I get goosebumps every time I think of the movie.
We were stuffed and tired so I cuddled into Blake's shoulder and was falling asleep until, I heard my dad come down stairs.
"Oh hey kiddos!" He greets us from the kitchen. Before he came back into the living room I had crashed and fell into a long needed sleep.
-Blake's Perspective-
I stared at Autumn's face when I hear Mr. Karev clear his throat.
"Did you ask her yet?" He questions me.
"Ask her what?" I shift my eyes from her to him.
"To be your girlfriend," he deadpans.
"Oh no, not yet at least. I think I might do it before I leave for college. I want t take her with me." I let it out.
"Well it's about time!" he laughs loudly accidentally waking up Autumn.
"What! What's time?" she asks but looks confused and drowsy.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Let's get you upstairs." I picked her up in my arms and she cuddled close to me, I pray she can't feel how fast my heart is racing.
I lightly push her door open and lay her in bed. I debate whether to go home or stay and lay in bed with her.
I start to turn and head for the door when she reaches for my hand and pulls me into bed. I can't wait til I can make this girl mine.
It's like she knows how to make heart rate go up. We cuddle close and I start to drift off.
