She entered the room and I opened my mouth to speak butsomething was caught in my throat and I squeaked out something thatwasn't intelligible."I'm Mar..., your nurse. There was a complication with your operation andyou're going to be fine, Mr. Meyer. I will get something for the painbut you are under doctor's orders not to speak as it could damage yourvocal cords. I will get a whiteboard for you to communicate. OK?"I nodded after this rapid stream of information but wondered about thevocal. ”“You know what I mean, like me like a girlfriend.”I had just enough alcohol induced bravado to treat her as she wanted. I looked around the room and spotted what I was looking for, “Come with me.” I grabbed Holly’s elbow and towed her to the large chandelier that hung at the center of the room, when I stopped I pointed toward the lights. Holly looked up at a big sprig of mistletoe, she dropped her eyes to mine and started to say something but I wouldn’t let her. I leaned down and kissed her. ’ ‘What! Me leave? Hell no, I’m not going anywhere. Tell him to leave.’ Darius stated angrily. His declaration made Deidre so angry that she shook furiously as she struggled to keep her temper in check. She was grateful that at this moment Camirra and Camorra were both at her Mom’s house and didn’t have to witness the confrontation between their parents. ‘No, you go. I don’t want you here.’ Deidre declared angrily poking Darius in the chest with her finger. ‘I’ve had enough Darius. You don’t.
