"You can teach me anything
you want to" Nick added with a smile and then looked to the rest of them. "So
are we ready to go" he asked getting up moaning in the
process.
Julia chuckled and helped him
up. She had been talking to Philip but Nick's answer had been too
cute. She put her arms around his waist, taking extra special care not to
hurt his ribs as they got to the wheelchair and he sat in
it.
"No popping wheelies you
two." she teased both Derek and Nick before giving Nick a quick kiss and wink
"And we'll catch up as soon as we go raid the candy jar."
"Party pooper." Derek mumbled
before looking up at the orderly pushing his chair "Don't suppose I could bribe
you into beating this guy's wheel chair to the car?"
"Oh god, he's doped up."
Julia turned to the others and half whispered, laughing at Derek's
behavior.
Derek didn't correct her, had
in fact felt a kind of tension from Kat and Julia that they were both trying
hard to play down, and thought a good distraction was in order. After all,
how often did one of them see him acting..... odd?
The orderly looked at Julia
and shook his head "Sorry, but I learned a long time ago from my wife, never bet
against a woman's orders."
With that the two men were
pushed off and Julia was left alone with Patrick and Kat.
She looked at them both and
wondered who was going to go first before sighing and sitting down on the chair
next to her.
She counted to three and
steeled herself before looking up at Kat, her gaze showing how troubled she felt
at the prospect of how she thought Kat felt about her "I'm sorry, Kat. I'm
sorry I lost your trust...I'd never want to hurt you but I know Mitchel did
something that's made you afraid of me
again...."
