Todd: If you do everything you can to stick around with me, I'll do everything I can to stick around with you.

IN SICKNESS
chapter 108:

[Several minutes later...

Todd is lounging on the bed in their motel room waiting for Tea to finish primping in the bathroom.

As Tea finally exits the bathroom wearing the clothing they hastily bought at a local convenience store, she tries to strike a seductive pose for her husband. Todd promptly bursts into laughter.]

Tea: Is that any way to react to your bride when you're hoping to get lucky on your honeymoon?

Todd: I'm not worried. I know my bride. She can't keep her hands off me.

Tea: You do look very appealing in your new outfit.

Todd: I look like a geek. You look like a pregnant geek.

Tea: I could take these clothes off, if it would help you to get in the mood.

Todd: You can do the top half. I'll take care of the bottom.

Tea: You could take care of all of it.

Todd: Is that what you want?

Tea: I enjoy when you undress me. It feels sexy.

Todd: Nothing that has to do with me has ever been sexy.

Tea: You are so wrong.

[Tea joins her husband on the bed and crawls up his body until she is straddling him.]

Tea: Is this okay?

Todd: Whatever you want.

[Todd sits up and places his arms lightly around her body.]

Todd: I mean it, Tea...tonight, whatever you want.

Tea: I want you to be comfortable with whatever we do tonight, and every night.

Todd: I told you before, tonight I won't let my screwed up past get in our way. I want you to have whatever you've always wanted. What is that?

Tea: I want you to be comfortable. That's what I want the most.

Todd: I'm serious, Tea. Name it...I'll do it for you.

Tea: I won't ask you to do anything that causes you to be reminded of painful memories.

Todd: I won't split on you, I promise. Just tell me what you want.

Tea: You tried in the past to do more than you were ready for. I don't want you to do that for me. I appreciate your wanting to put the past aside for us. I really do. You don't have to. Your comfort, your enjoyment, is part of what I enjoy.

Todd: Delgado...

Tea: Think about it, you would never ask me to do something I wasn't comfortable with. I won't do that to you.

Todd: What if I want it? What if I don't want that bastard controlling things for me anymore? I want to be with my wife. I want to do everything to you that would make you feel good right now.

Tea: Your memories...

Todd: I won't let them get in the way. When I think of that junk, I'll just look at you. I'll see you and I'll know that this is different. It was disgusting before, but it will never be disgusting with you. I know that. I need to prove it...to you and to me.

Tea: You never need to prove anything to me.

Todd: I need you to know that, along with my kids, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. You're more important than anything that happened before I ever knew you. I'll never forget what happened. I'll never get rid of those memories, or the lousy way they make me feel when I think about them, but I won't let it stop me from doing everything that I want to do with you. If you have the big C again, we'll kick its butt, we'll make it go away again, because nothing gets to come between us ever again. This junk inside of me is my cancer. I need to get rid of it, as much as I can. I need to take away the power it has over me...over us. You have to let me try.

Tea: You promise you won't leave?

Todd: You're stuck with me, Delgado.

Tea: You'll stop if it becomes too difficult?

Todd: From now one, I'm not stopping.

Tea: We shouldn't do this. Let's just make love the way you're comfortable. I promise, I'll enjoy it.

Todd: You'll enjoy it more, if all the barriers are gone.

Tea: Not if this night causes you to leave me. Sex isn't worth that.

Todd: This isn't about sex. Okay, it's about that, too. But, it's about more than just sex. I used to hate having anyone touch me. I really did. It was like every part of my body had these huge bruises and every touch made it hurt like hell. Now, when you touch me, it doesn't feel that way anymore. I like it when you touch me now, as long as no one else can see us. I like it when you wrap your body around me when you sleep. Even when you're sleeping, sometimes you move your hand around. It feels good knowing that, even when you're asleep, you don't want to stop touching me.

[Tea caresses his face for a moment before moving both her hands into his hair and then down his back.]

Tea: Querido, I'm scared for you.

Todd: If I need to, I'll stop and go in the john and puke my guts out. Then, I'll brush my teeth and we'll start all over.

Tea: Or, we could make love in a way that doesn't cause you to vomit.

Todd: You got to puke all the time when you were sick. It's not fair that you get to have all the fun.

Tea: I don't recall that being fun.

Todd: I'm serious, Tea. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I don't want to do anything that you think is gross. I just want to do all the things you want to do with me. I might feel lousy at first, but I think it can be like the touching thing. If you help me, I think it might stop feeling so lousy.

Tea: We can try. Just promise me that you won't push this further than you're ready for. I don't want to lose you because of this.

[Todd tightens his hold on her body, as he embraces her. He closes his eyes as he kisses her neck.]

Todd: I promise, Delgado, you'll never lose me again.

[Tea also closes her eyes as she reciprocates his intense hug.]

Tea: I'm counting on that. I need you. I love you, Querido.

Todd: I love you, too.

[For more than a minute they continue their embrace, each enjoying the intense feeling of love they feel for, and from, the other.

Todd finally releases Tea from his embrace. Tea delays several seconds before she also releases her hold of his body.]

Todd: Enough of the mush, tell me what you want to do first.

Tea: What do you want?

Todd: Tea...

Tea: This isn't a one-way relationship. What you want matters, too.

Todd: I want to kiss you.

Tea: That's good, because I want to kiss you, too.

[They join in a nervous kiss, each anxious about the sexual adventure they're about to embark on together.]

to be continued...
