Tony sighed a little, wishing he could relax; he'd touched the beeper more than twenty times and Lara was yet to arrive. On a regular day, she would have cleaned
him up and served him his meal, so he wondered if she was attempting to punish him. He hit the beeper five times more, but she still didn't answer.He chose to assist himself into the wheel-chair at his bedside. He moved himself closer to the bed's edge, grabbed the wheel chair, and tried to get in. He lost his equilibrium and was on the verge of collapsing...
“Hey! “What are you up to?” He didn't look back since he wasn't sure if the scowl he observed the day before was still there.
As she balanced him on the steering wheel, he tried to communicate.
“Good morning, Tony...” she said as she pushed him towards the loo.
“I was on the phone when I heard the beeper...”
As she assisted him into the bath tub, she said, "Here...steady...sorry...easy..."
“I'll be back in a jiffy,” Lara murmured, averting her gaze since she couldn't stomach seeing him naked.
Tony grinned, thinking she was too shy.
He smiled, displaying his fangs, and said, "I want you to stay..."
“Thank you, but no.” Lara exited the restroom.
