She wasn’t able to hear the rest of the sentence as Brandon’s voice ringed through the room. “I led him to a different place. That should be alright, right, doc?” The doctor jumped up like a frightened bunny. How did he not hear him approach the room? He thought as he tried to untie the knot that got his tongue stuck in place.
“Y-Yeah… once again, thank you for the help.”
“Uh-hu.” Brandon responded listless, taking big strides past the doctor to Cherry without sparing Simon a glance. “Then unless there’s something more you would like to say I would like to take Cherry home.”
Simon’s eyes momentarily moved to Cherry, who responded to his gaze with a curious look. There’s no way he could say it with her husband in the room. The doctor sighed despondently and took a step to the side, giving the couple their space. “No… there’s nothing else. Please have a safe journey.”
“You too, have a great day, doctor Hearts.” Cherry smiled, while Brandon said nothing, and wheeled her out of the room.
“Fucking waste of space.” Brandon muttered under his breath once they were going down the hall. Did that wimp of a doctor really think that he didn’t notice the way he was looking at Cherry? And where are those fucking ambulances now, huh!? Brandon could gouge the doc’s eyeballs out with a spoon and feed it to that disgusting cannibal for wasting their time like that.
“Did you say something?” Cherry asked, snapping Brandon out of his thoughts.
“No, nothing.” He answered in a gentle voice, receiving a hum from Cherry, who was still gazing ahead. The sunlight passing through the windows kissing her profile.
“Are you excited about going home?” Questioned Brandon as he himself found it difficult to contain the giddiness at the thought of getting Cherry finally in his grasp and he hopes she shared the same sentiment, obviously not for the same reason… yet.
The glaring sun bothered her eyes, and she involuntarily squinted her eyes at it. “Well, to be honest, I’m pretty nervous. I know that to you and everyone else I’ve slept in our house multiple times, but since I lost my memories, I don’t know what to expect and that’s kind of scary.” She was about to curse out the sun as it was really getting on her nerves when a hand came from the side, acting like a shield, casting a shadow over her face.
Her surprised eyes followed the line of the hand up the arm to meet the eyes that spread cinnamon sweetness in her chest. Brandon offered her a smile and said. “What is there to be scared about when I’m here with you? We will take it slowly, alright?”
There was a tremor in her eyes before she lowered her gaze, trying to hide the bashfulness that has exploded on her face along with her lips that curled up in a smile, before turning back her head around. This time looking forward to her house with excitement instead of nervousness.
“You know,” she started. “This is really gentle-man-like of you.” She gestured at the hand that still acted like her personal canopy. “But I would prefer the sunglasses in your pocket. Pushing me would be easier with two hands.”
“Ah, right.” He awkwardly retracts his hand, using it to scratch the back of his head. He felt stupid for not just handing her the sunglasses immediately.
Cherry lets out a sputter of giggles that placed a stop to Brandon’s scratching. He stared down at her with a questioning look.
“I thought this from the beginning, but you can be so cheesy. But I guess that’s what makes you cute.”
Cute? Brandon wanted to be called handsome, cool, anything else but cute. But seeing the glow on her face made him want to be the very cutest that no one ever was!
“If cheesiness is what you want” Grabbing the sunglass out of his pocket he went down on one knee and as if he was serving something on a platter presented her the sunglasses. “Then cheesiness is what you will get.”
His words made way for another skimpy laugh. “No, that goes too far. That deserves a hit.” She grabs the glasses and gave him a playful tap on his head with it. “Now, stop acting like a knight and bring me home.”
“As you wish, my lady.” He stood and begun to push her again.
“Stoooppp.” She chimes in giggles with tears about to escape her eyes. The smile on Brandon's face only grew wider, and he thought that nothing else could go wrong today as he made a beeline to the exit.
“Oh! How nice to see you here, Brandon!”
He thought nothing could go wrong today until Dean made it his mission to make Brandon’s life a hell.
