Chapter 26

Tessa finally passed out about nine o’clock that night and slept all night long. I got up about six o’clock and made some breakfast and started a pot of coffee. About seven thirty Tessa walked in the kitchen dressed in her scrubs and ready to work. She walked across the kitchen and pressed her lips to mine in a passionate kiss. Soon her tongue was in my mouth and her arms were wrapped around me. She pulled away and looked up at me.

“I wish I didn’t have to work today..., I’m ready for round two.” she giggled.

“Are you really?” I asked.

“Yep, give me your hand.” she commanded.

I reached out my hand and she quickly took it and pushed it down the front of her pants. Then inside her panties until I felt her very wet pussy. She looked up and me and smiled.

“Told you. But I have to get to the hospital, I’m running late. But I will eat really quick. Thank you for making breakfast.” she said, quickly kissing me.

Tessa sat down and ate very quickly then poured some more coffee in her travel mug. She headed towards the door then stopped and turned around.

“I’ll be late tonight so maybe I should go to my place.” she suggested.

“That’s up to you but I would like you to come here.” I said, wrapping my arms around her waist.

“Then, I’ll come here.” she giggled, kissing me once more.

I left for the gym about thirty minutes later. I got my work out in and then paid some bills. Since I had promoted Amber to manager, she had things running smoothly which gave me a little more free time. I knew I was overpaying her, but she was trustworthy and honest.

Tessa called me around four that afternoon to talk for a few seconds. ICU was half full, so everyone was hopping from room to room. She admitted that the entire staff had not had lunch yet. I told Tessa I would bring food to her, so she agreed and took a sandwich order from the nurses at the desk. I showered and left going to the deli and had the sandwiches made as ordered. I drove to the hospital and went up to the pediatric floor exiting the elevator. I walked toward the nurse’s station when three young women were working on charts and computers.

“Hello, I’m looking for Tessa Williamson.” I stated.

The one closer looked at me and smiled. She then looked at the other two and they all started laughing. They caught me off guard somewhat.

“Am I on the wrong floor?” I asked.

“Nope, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. I’ll get her for you.” the taller blonde girl said.

I set the bag of food down on the counter as the other two women were whispering to each other. It took a couple of minutes before the girl came back with Tessa in tow. Tessa smiled when she saw me and walked up and kissed me quickly on the lips.

“Chris, this is Alyssa, Megan and Danielle. Guys, this is Chris Williams.” she said, introducing us.

“Well, you’re right Doc. He sure makes my panties wet.” Alyssa commented.

“Oh Chris, my girls have no filter.” Tessa said, apologizing.

“Not a big deal ... I got the food that you wanted.” I stated.

“Thank you so much Chris. Come with me and see my little angel.” Tessa commented, taking my hand in hers.

We walked down the hallway and took a right into the first glassed room we came to. There was a small Asian girl lying in the bed with tubes and wires everywhere. Both of her legs were in a cast as well as her left arm. The child’s small head was bandage and most of her face was bruised. She could not have been older than three or four years of age.

“This is Tai Nguyen ... she is my angel.” Tessa said bending over kissing her forehead.

The girl was unconscious probably due to pain medicine but even with the bruised face she was adorable. I could easily see that Tessa cared a lot for her. Tessa told me that her entire family had been killed in the car accident by a drunk driver who simply walked away with cuts and bruises. Apparently, he was a big hot shot business owner who had been cited before for DWI. The biggest problem the young girl faced was there was no next of kin available. She had no other family in the Unites States, and no one had begun a search in Vietnam. The other problem was since she was born here, she was a U.S. citizen, so child services came into play. From what Tessa said once she was released, she would probably be transitioned into a foster home. Perhaps Tessa’s voice woke her up but the little girl opened her eyes trying to focus.

“Hey Tai, how are you feeling?’’, Tessa asked.

“Hurt.” the tiny child said weakly.

“What hurts baby?” Tessa replied.

“My legs.” she moaned.

“I know but I can’t give you more medicine yet. In about two hours, ok?” Tessa promised.

“Ok...” the little girl replied.

One of the nurses came in and reminded Tessa that her food was getting cold. Tessa looked torn between eating and talking to Tai. I told Tessa that I would stay and keep the child company until she was finished eating. That seemed to ease Tessa’s concerned and she promised to be back quickly. I told one of the chairs in the room and pulled it next to the bed. I have no sooner sat down when Tai spoke.

“Who you?” she asked inquisitively.

“I’m Chris.” I answered, smiling.

“Chwis?” she answered, struggling the r.

“That’s right. It’s nice to meet you Tai.” I replied.

“Why you have muscles?” she inquired.

“Because I work in a gym.” I laughed.

“Do you hurt people?” she said softly.

“No Tai, I don’t hurt people.” I replied.

“Bad man hurt my dada, momma and maw maw.” she said, tears coming to her eyes.

“I know sweetie, Dr. Tessa told me what happened.” I said.

“Chwis, would you read me a story?” she asked, pointing to the pile of books of the nightstand next to the bad.

I reached over and picked up the books and asked her which one she wanted me to read. She pointed to the book about ponies which was titled “My Favorite Pony”. I set the rest of the books down on the nightstand and opened the book she chose. I started reading carefully knowing the child was on some medication for pain. I was about halfway through the book when I noticed her eyes were closing. I kept reading and by the time Tessa returned with the nurse I was on the last page. I finished the page and closed the book to find Tai fast asleep.

“You got her back to sleep ... thank you.” Tessa remarked.

“We had fun...” I answered, getting up.

“I’ll meet you at your place in a few hours.” Tessa promised.

For the next few weeks the pediatric floor became a new home for me. I got to see Tessa and spend some time with Tai on a daily basis. Tai and I had gotten very close and calling me “Chwis” had become a running joke on the floor. I would stop and buy new books then read to her that night. She was extremely smart and observant. It was tough to pull a fast one over on the small child.

Most of her injuries were healing well but she would need future surgeries on her left leg. As she grew the pins and plate would have to be taken out and then redone. They were hoping maybe two more surgeries before she was eighteen years of age.

Tessa and I had become a couple although the love word had not been used yet. Tessa was an amazing woman and treated me like I was the most important man in her life. One night we were laying in bad with Tessa’s back against my chest just about the hospital and the gym. Tessa turned around and leaned in and kissed me softly. The kiss lasted for almost a minute before she pulled away.

“Chris, I need to tell you something.” Tessa asked looking into my eyes.

“Tessa, I love you.” I quickly blurted out.

“What...” she quickly replied.

“I love you.” I repeated.

“Oh my god, I love you so much.” she replied, tears running down her cheeks.

“What did you want to tell me?” I asked, wiping the tears from her cheek.

“I don’t want to ruin this moment.” Tessa replied, kissing me again.

“Tessa, we promised to always tell each other everything.” I urged.

“You’re going to think I’m crazy but here goes. I have been thinking about applying for custody of Tai. She has no immediate family and because I am a pediatrician she would be in good hands. Then if it all works out maybe adopt her one day.” Tessa explained.

“Well Tessa, I have to be honest, I did not see that coming.” I remarked.

“You think it’s a bad idea?” she asked.

“I can’t answer that because obviously I have not given as much thought about it as you have.” I replied.

“I have to be honest; I have been thinking about it for a while.” Tessa admitted.

“With the crazy schedule you work at the hospital having someone to help take care of her at different hours might be tough.” I stated.

“I know ... I was hoping my mom could help out with that.” Tessa sighed.

“Have you talked to her about that yet?” I asked.

“No, I haven’t brought it up.” Tessa answered.

“I must admit though, she is an adorable little girl. She’s so outgoing and brutally honest.” I laughed.

“She will tell you what she is thinking.” Tessa giggled.

“Well, I guess we have a lot to think about.” I stated.

“Wait ... We? You would be willing to help me with her?” Tessa asked, somewhat amazed.

“Tessa, I love you. I will support you in everything you do.” I replied.

“One good thing is money is not a problem. I do very well, and my dad helped me with my student loans so I owe nothing now. The only bills I have are my condo rent, utilities and insurance.” she admitted.

“Tessa, to me it seems like you have already made up your mind.” I suggested.

“No not really ... but I’m pretty sure. I think I’m going to apply for custody and see what CPS says.” she answered.

“Whatever you need from me just ask.” I replied, kissing her softly on the neck.

“I want you to make me cum.” she giggled.

“I can do that.” I instant replied.

I reached around and slip my right hand inside of her black panties and found her wet pussy. She adjusted her body to give me better access to her opening. I began to softly rub her clit in a small circular motion which always drove her crazy. Within minutes she was moving her hips in rhythm with my hand. I increased the pressure on her clit and within a few seconds she clamped her hand over mine and squeezed her thighs together.

“Oh baby ... Oh god...” she moaned her entire body stiffening up.

Tessa’s orgasm was intense and took her several minutes to recover. She sat up and pushed my shorts down releasing my hard cock. She straddled me and placed my cock between her legs facing me. She began jerking me off slowly at first making direct eye contact with me.

“You like me to jerk you off huh baby?” she asked.

“Oh yea...” I replied.

Tessa was quite talented with her hand and it no time she had me on the verge. She could tell by the look on my face I was ready to explode.

“Cum all over my hand baby.” she urged.

I felt the cum race up my shaft and explode from the head of my cock. It was a massive orgasm that just kept spewing out the hot white liquid. By the time I had finished Tessa’s hand was soaked in my cum. Tessa kept softly stroking me rubbing the cum all over my cock and balls. She leaned over and kissed me, forcing her tongue into my mouth.

We both cleaned up and went to bed since Tessa had to be at the hospital for six thirty for an operation that was scheduled for seven in the morning. Since it was Friday, it was my light day at the gym. I covered the mornings and Amber would come in at two in the afternoon and close up. It was a good schedule for me, and I had another guy I had hired to close on weekends for me. It cut the profit margin down a bit, but it did free up a lot of my time.
