“ can't you stay?” leans back on the bed after throwing the bloody sheets on the floor.
“I've got work soon.” flops back on the bed and drapes his good arm over his eyes and moans and bitches about it. then falls asleep the way he was in when he was talking to jake. Jake calls in and explains. He pulled himself onto the bed to where he is laying next to dirk. He put the hurt hand on his thigh.
freezes when jake does that not sure what to do, he just lays there.
Jake falls asleep. dirk smiles softly and puts an arm under jake’s head and his injured arm around jake’s waist and falls asleep again. touching his forehead lightly against jakes. He dreams of the wedding again. It was getting close.
“ Jake? What are you doing?” murmurs when he wakes up.
“Just thinking” he says softly.
“ oh time to go home?”
“Yeah. We have to talk about our wedding which is in a week strider”
“ oh...what do you want to do when the wedding comes?”
“I don’t know”
“do you think we should just invite dave john and rose and roxy and your friends?”
.
“Sure. don’t forget jane and jade.
“oh right them to and can we go home now?”
“Roxy is coming to pick us up in an hour.” He looks at him. He had bags under his eyes.
“ jake sleep you look like you’re tired i can carry you dont worry”
“I’m fine dirk.” he looks at him.
“ no your not jake you look like you’ve lost a lot of sleep lately.”
“Dirk stop. I’m not tired.”
“ yes you are and stop telling me other wise jake i know you’re tired.”
“I’m not dirk.” gets in his chair. “Get changed Rox is waiting.”
“ i’m ready already.”
Jake rolls to the car and roxy help him in. “Thanks rox.”
“ thanks for coming and picking us up roxy”
Roxy just looks at him and drives them to their house. dirk looks back
Jake looks at dirk and then looks away.
“what?” blinks confused.
“roxy lalonde what the hell” snarls at her. Roxy gripped the wheel.
“ what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“ something is wrong so what is it and don’t think i won’t ask rose”
“Dirk Martha Strider leave it alone!”
“ rox i’m ten seconds from opening this damn door and walking out a moving car and don’t think i won't”
“Do what you want i’m not stopping you.”
Jake speaks up. “Both you stop. Right now! Roxy drive. Dirk play on your phone”
flinches and then curls around his arm and groans a little in pain “ maybe i’ll just sleep * curls up on jake. Jake pets his hair. snores softly. Jake wakes him up when they get there.
groans when he wakes up
“ we here now? and is rox still mad at me?”
he looks at him. “Yeah.”
“why?”
“I don’t know. She seems mad every time i talk to her.”
“ well if she want’s to be mad she can yell at me not you. it doesn’t make sense “ mutters while getting out of the car.
“I think jane’s feeling are showing”
“ what does that mean?” careful get’s out of car
“Roxy has been sober for 5 months.”
“ wow no wonder she hates me.” falls out of car and on his back “ jake just fall on me i have nothing better to do.”
jake helps him up. “Dirk get up. please.”
“ I’m up. I’m just waiting for you.” mumbles and gets up when his legs start to work again.
He gets into his chair and rolls inside. Bec barked at them and Jake picked him up.
“ i’m going to start cleaning my office want to come down?” pauses at the kitchen door and turns to look at jake.
He is asleep in his chair.
Walks over and picks up jake and carries him to the office and sits in the rolly chair and sets jake in his lap and get’s on the computer after he cleans the office.
He wakes up. “Dirk you cleaned.”
looks down at where jake was and smiles at him “yeah i promised didn’t i?”
