Chapter 2: Sunday 23 September 2007

Kaneohe Bay Hawaii — Hospital - Sunday Day Twenty-Four

I woke to something heavy on top of me, pressing me down into the bed.

What the hell? Hey!

Something was pressing on my mouth. I took a deep breath through my nose and recognized Jens's perfume.

Oh. Jens was straddling my hips and kissing me. Mmm. I could get used to waking up like this.

"Hey, sleepy Marine. Wake up," Jens sang.

I opened my eyes to my beautiful Jens. I tried to give her a hug, but couldn't move my arms or legs. I was so groggy that it took me a minute to figure out that someone had tied me down. Then, I got angry. I hate being tied up.

I'm gonna kill the bastard who did this.

"Simmer down, my love," Jens ordered."After yesterday, they wanted to make sure that you didn't go crazy again."

I ignored her and fought against the restraints. My back felt like someone had flayed off a strip of skin and poured vinegar in the wound. Every time I struggled, it felt like I was tearing something on my back. The pain got through where Jens's words couldn't.

She gave me another huge kiss. "I've always wanted to have you totally under my control," she teased."Perhaps we can get a set of these when we're married." She grinned at me.

I struggled some more.

"Shit, that hurts!" I yelled.

"Duh, of course it does. Just simmer down and let me have my way with you." Jens smothered me with another kiss. "Don't you remember how you acted yesterday?"

"Oh, yeah ... I vaguely remember being a real pain in the ass to everyone. Even you," I added with a sheepish smile. "Did I laugh at your eyes?" I asked, wondering if I was in trouble.

"You sure did. And now I'm going to get even," Jens said, attacking my ear with her tongue.

I thrashed around on the bed. "Damn, that hurts," I complained.

"Well lie still and let me get even," Jens commanded.

I ordered myself to not be ticklish, and remarkably, it worked.

"Hey. You're no fun. Just when I figure out a way to tickle you, you're no longer ticklish," Jens grumped.

Then she got this mischievous glint in her eyes and started kissing and nibbling on me, starting at the top of my head and working her way downward. Mmm, her lips on my neck felt good. I was just starting to relax a bit when she bit down hard.

"Ouch, that hurt!" I complained.

"You sure are a wimp. Are you sure you're a real Marine and not a poser?" Jens laughed and resumed nibbling on my neck, alternating between light nibbles and hard bites. It was driving me crazy, and I started getting excited.

"Oh, someone likes that," Jens teased as she wiggled her bottom on top of me.

I just moaned.

"Perhaps, I'll bite that," Jens speculated.

I was rock hard. All I could do was moan again.

"Wow, you like that idea," Jens continued, and started to move down towards my crotch.

Just then, the door opened and doctor Linus walked in. "What the hell's going on here?"

Jens turned beet red. "I was just making sure that my fiancé was okay. You had him tied down, and he was starting to get restless." She scooted over to her bed. My covers were tented.

The doctor smirked, reminding me yet again how much I dislike doctors. "Good morning, Doctor Penis," I laughed.

"That's Linus, jarhead. I think you're still hallucinating. Perhaps we should keep you restrained for another day or two."

"Oh, goody — I can play more," Jens quipped.

I pulled against the restraints. "I wouldn't recommend that. It wouldn't be good for your health." I shot him my "don't-fuck-with-me-or-you're-going-to—die" look.

He laughed. "Damn, I love working with jarheads. It's so easy to yank your chains

"It's good to see you're alert this morning. Yesterday you were fighting with everyone to get out of this bed. You feel up to a little assisted walking this morning?"

"Sir, Yes Sir," I yelled.

"Good. Let's get you out of the restraints. Then let's get some real food in you, and we'll see if your fiancée thinks she can help you walk some," Dr. Linus said.

My stomach growled loudly at the mention of food. We all laughed.

"I guess even your stomach agrees with that. I'll send the nurse right in." Doctor Linus left the room and Nurse Battle Axe came in.

Wow, I thought she looked much uglier yesterday. She was quite cute with scarlet hair and green eyes. I looked at her nametag. Her name was Elle.

"Hey, Marine. Remember me?" Jens said, reading my feelings.

Uh oh, busted. It's not that I don't love Jens. But I'm not dead yet.

"Keep thinking that way, and you will be," Jens threatened, sensing my thoughts.

Elle left the room, saying she needed to get something. When she came back in, two more buttons were undone on the top of her uniform. She bent over my bed to take off the restraints, and I was doing my best not to look down her uniform. It was damn hard not to. When she was done, she looked over at Jens and they both started laughing.

"Thanks, Jens. It was so much fun to get even with him for calling me a battle axe yesterday," Elle laughed as she left the room.

Damn. I should have smelled that setup, with the way Jens was acting.

I didn't know what to say. Jens jumped back onto my bed. "All right, Marine. Give me a hug," she ordered.

I did, gladly. I wondered how many others I insulted the day before.

"Don't worry, my love. The paybacks are almost done," Jens chuckled.

When breakfast came, Jens fed me. It's not that I couldn't do it myself — she just wanted to help. It was nice having the attention.

After the food and the coffee my mind was working. I hugged Jens and asked, "Hey what are you still doing in the hospital?"

"My love, don't you remember?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Do you remember being shot?" she asked.

"Duh, of course." I answered, earning me a poke in the ribs.

"You passed out in the training area due to blood loss. I carried you to the entrance, and they brought us to the hospital. You needed a transfusion, and I didn't want you to possibly get any weird blood diseases, so I made them use my blood for your transfusion," Jens stated.

"How many units did I lose?" I questioned.

Jens bit her lip, "Three."

"I thought you weren't supposed to give more than one unit."

"Duh, they only let me give you two so you're still a pint low. I can check your dipstick and see how your doing if you'd like," She answered, reaching for my crotch.

I'd been sexually frustrated enough this morning. I intercepted her hand, brought it to my mouth, and kissed her fingers. "Thanks my dear for giving me part of you."

"I wouldn't mind giving you all of me. Do you remember me saying that they'll always be a little of me inside you?" Jens asked.

I blushed.

"Good, I see you remember that and your reply," Jens chuckled.

Nurse Elle came in to get me ready for my walk. She gave me a new gown. It was short and small and had little yellow ducks on it.

"What sort of shit is this?" I barked.

"Sorry, it's all we could find. If you don't like it, you can always wait until tomorrow for your walk," Nurse Elle said.

"No way," I said. "It's not like anyone's going to see me."

I should have known better.

Jens helped me out to the hallway. I turned the corner, and there was the general, his wife, Doctor Linus, and the rest of the hospital staff for that floor. They all started cheering and hooting and clapping. Someone even took a picture.

Jens smiled at me. "You're so cute when you blush." She looked very proud of herself.

One of the staff said, "Payback's a bitch."

I swallowed my pride and went over and held up my hand. "I had planned on talking to each of you individually. I wanted to tell each of you how sorry I was for being an asshole while I was sedated. But since that has been taken away from me, I'll apologize to you as a group."

I was so embarrassed, and I was upset because my Jens had set me up for this humiliation. In my anger, I pushed her away and walked back to my room. Jens followed behind me asking me what was wrong.

When we got to the room, I closed the door and turned to her. "I was so embarrassed by that stunt. I've worked very hard during my career in the Marines to develop a reputation. What you did today with this fucking scene has seriously damaged my reputation.

"Sergeant Donaldson, I still love you. And I still want to marry you after I retire. However, I'm not sure that we can continue with our relationship the way it has been." I turned away and started to get dressed. Flexing my back hurt like hell, but I wanted out of there.

Jens made a funny sound and ran from the room.

General Donaldson came in to chew my ass, but I beat him to the punch. "Sir, no disrespect. I've worked ten years in the Marines to develop my reputation as a hard-assed Marine that you can always call on and that always gets the job done. That stunt Sergeant Donaldson pulled has damaged my reputation. I never would have done something like that to her."

"Damn. You're right, Son. But what the fuck do you think you're doing now?" The general asked.
