Chereads / Through His Touch / Chapter 14 - Perfect

Chapter 14 - Perfect

A couple of weeks passed by after Jade and Phoenix became friends. The two had grown closer and spent most of their weekends together. Jade was gaining his confidence again as he prepared himself for his surgery.

He was preparing for his surgery which was scheduled tomorrow. During the course of the day, he would sometimes be happy and the next minute become depressed. 

He wondered if the surgery will be successful or if it will fail like last time.

Jade wanted to see once again but he didn't dare to hope much. He just prayed that his condition doesn't become a burden to those around him.

Phoenix has been helping and offering therapy to him over the past month. His parents now hoped that something would sprout out of their time together. Seeing their three sons happy was their main priority so they didn't care about the background of the partner's their sons fancied.

During the afternoon break, Phoenix called butler Green to check on Jade. Since his accident and to protect his eyes, he kept his mobile phone away from him. The duo talked for the most of the afternoon and Jade asked her to be there at the hospital if she would manage before hanging up.

##     Meanwhile at Pelican villa.  ##

" Are you alright bro, you seem to sweating, should I turn on the Aircon?" Asked Troy as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Neil who was standing on the balcony heard their conversation. He popped his heard through the door as he smiled.

" Seems like someone is being nervous. Don't worry ' Butterfly's hands' will be there unless she said she won't make it."

Neil and Troy had resorted to calling Phoenix as ' Butterfly's hands' after seeing their brothers transformation.

" Yeah, Butterfly's hands will be there with me, Neil, sis in-law, mom, dad and grandpa. And I bet after the surgery, marriage requests are gonna flock grandpa's study." Said Troy.

" Let them send some and am sure you will be the one to choose from them cause my younger brother here already has someone he fancies right Jade?" He asked as he winked at Troy.

" Oh yeah, Butterfly's hands sure has her own charm. Bro you will get to see your butterfly once you open your eyes in a few days. Haha." Troy broke into deafening laughter as he teased his brother. 

" And it's not like you haven't made out her silhouette before, you are always touchy- touchy when she is here. I bet her hands are so soft and silky. I could just imagine those hands on my chest, oh how delicious and yummy but it's a pity cause I have my beautiful Lydia. Hahaha. I say bro, she has been torturing you over the past months right?" Neil who was by the door connecting the bedroom to the balcony chimed in as he also laughed aloud.

Their laughter resounded within the room as they sang ' Perfect' by Ed Sheeran.

'I found a love for me

Oh, darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet

Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me'

Troy started singing as he twirled around in the room towards Neil. He stood before him as he stretched his hand out as if asking for a dance, Neil also cooperated with him. He held Troy's shoulder as he placed his other hand on top of Troy's palm. Neil continued with the chorus when Troy stopped.

'Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight' 

They danced around in his room as their voices echoed within the room.
