Lily was sure sheâd read somewhere that rib bruises took around three or more weeks to heal. This would be a pretty big one, but hopefully his road to recovery would be fairly smooth. Sheâd be there for him if he needed her to be, anyway. Of course she would, when she wasnât at work, and he wasnât either. The girl hated seeing his otherwise perfect skin being blocked by the bruising and redness to his body. He hadnât deserved this.
There was something about the boy, though, that meant that Lily was constantly on edge. In a good way, of course. She didnât know what was going to happen next in a way. One minute, they were talking about something incredibly deep and upsetting, and the next he was indicating that he wanted nothing more but her hands all over him. The smirk, God, that little smirk drove her crazy, and she couldnât help the cheeky smile that crossed her lips when he agreed to it. âOkay.â She repeated, her hand coming to cover his on her face and placing a kiss to the palm of his hand once she turned her head slightly. âYou go and lie down, and Iâll be back in a minute.â
Lily turned promptly on her heels, and wandered out of the bathroom feeling an odd deja vu from walking away from him earlier that night with the hope that he was watching her as she left. Grabbing a bowl from one of her cupboards, she got the ice cubes from the freezer and filled it with a few, though not many. Her heart was racing at the thought of being able to âtake careâ of him. Before she wandered back into the bedroom, she took a glance in the mirror. Her mascara was a little smudged, but other than that, she looked perfectly fine. She wiped it off, and made her way back into the bedroom where he was waiting for her. âHope youâre ready, these things are ice cold.â She jested, throwing him a teasing smile.
sebastian had experienced getting his ribs hurt before. he had survived a car accident, after-all, one where his whole body had been covered in bruises. so, sebastian knew that the bruises and wounds on his body, was going to take a long time to heal. at least a couple of weeks. it was sweet though, how lily continued to show him that she would be there for him through it all. it was one of the things that sebastian adored about the female. tilting his head a little to the side, sebastian blinked and swallowed against the lump in his throat as she said okay and covered his hand that was on her face, placing a kiss to the palm of it before she turned her head. you go and lie down, and iâll be back in a minute.Â
â okay, â he whispered and laughed softly, nodding his head when she told him to lay down on the bed. moving over to the edge of the mattress, sebastian sat down and pressed both of his hands against it, while staring at the wall opposite of him. closing both of his eyes for a split second, sebastian took a long and deep breath of air before opening them & glancing down towards the bruised skin. it didnât take long until he laid back on the bed, like lily had told him to, and he felt the back of his head press against the pillow.Â
as she entered the bedroom again, and he heard her voice, sebastian turned his head around while laying on the bed and smiled towards the girl. hope youâre ready, these are ice cold. he chuckled softly and hummed, keeping his dark-brown eyes locked with hers the whole time. â i think iâm ready, â he said and wiggled his eyebrows at her, though the laugh that followed, hurt so he quickly stopped with that. pushing himself onto his elbows, slowly, he turned and focused on getting up in a half-sitting position. the muscles in his arms tensed as he used all of the strength in his body to keep himself up.Â
