“The appointment to do that is tomorrow anyways. Not much difference if I remove it now,” I argued back.
“Stop being so stubborn, Natalia. Just do what the doctor says,” Reiner said, sounding very strict.
“Who’s the one that’s really being stubborn here? Isn’t it you? You’re back but you didn’t even tell me. You looked after me all this time, but you never told me. Why are you doing this?” I demanded to know.
“Natalia…” Reiner said my name softly.
“I called for you, but you never replied. I reached for you, but you won’t take my hand. What other options do I have left? I’m going to take these stupid eyepatches off so that I can finally see you!” I said softly but ended up screaming at the end from my own frustration.
“Stop…Natalia!” Reiner raised his voice.
His hand tightened around mine as I fought against his grip to free my hand.
“Let go!” I screamed.
“Natalia, calm down. I’m here…it’s ok…” Reiner said, calmly and reassuringly.
“How do you expect me to calm down…you could be gone again at any time…” I said through gritted teeth.
“I won’t leave, not until you’re fully recovered anyways…” Reiner said followed by a sigh.
I see, so it’s not like he’s back here permanently. It wasn’t like I hadn’t expected this. More than half of me knew that he was probably back to take care of me until I recovered from the effect of the fire incident.
“Come here, R…closer…” I said as I beckoned him closer to me with my hands.
I felt Reiner coming closer, his face coming closer to mine. I reached out my hands and he took them in his.
“Can you please place my hands on the sides of your face?” I requested, a little boldly.
“Like this?” Reiner said and after a hint of hesitation, he placed my hands on his cheeks just as I had requested.
I smiled happily when I felt his face against the palms of my hands. He’s so close…finally…
“Come closer…” I said once again.
Reiner leaned in even closer, and I felt like his face was directly in front of mine. I wished I could see him, and I wished that I could gaze deep into his beautiful blue eyes as I made my next request. But…I’ll live with what I can get…for now…
“R…have sex with me,” I said softly but clearly before biting on my lower lip.
“…excuse me?” Reiner said, clearly shocked by my straightforward request.
“Have sex with me…take me…fuck me…please…” I repeated my request so that he would fully understand.
“Stop this, Natalia. You’re still recovering,” Reiner said as he tried to move his face away from mine.
“I’m completely fine except for these eyepatches that prevents me from seeing. The doctors never said anything about abstaining from sexual activities either…” I argued, knowing that I was right.
“Stop saying such crazy things and just rest,” Reiner said dismissively.
