Hours of rest was the cure, to heal the body. To let the wounds dissolve on their own. But given Blake’s ribs, how the discomfort came and went on their own; he found himself tossing his head back and forth every few hours. And each time he felt like a doctor or nurse was about to enter through the clear glass doors. He frozen his eyes glued shut and pretended to be resting. He knew when Melanie had entered because even with his eyes glued shut he felt her particular gaze, the way he felt butterflies swimming through his stomach. But he didn’t want to open his eyes; he got that spidey tingle that the one nurse Maggie was keeping a watchful eye on every time we spoke, the body language and I cared about Melanie I didn’t want to make one wrong move to jeopardize her future as a nurse here. I told myself to keep it professional until I was able to be released the following day. I felt the change of IVs the meds as my body loosen up on its own. The way the aches  slowly subsided on their own. 

It had been another two hours when Blake did stir from his sleep. His eyes opened down widely. He slowly shifted into a sitting position a low whine through his lips. Teeth purposely bitting down on his lip to quiet himself. No need for concern right? Light eyes glanced around the dim lit room as he watched the line of doctors walk briskly by the room, the nurses desk had a few unfamiliar nurses behind the desk, typing away probably updating files. No sign of the blonde; he was sure she’d come soon, a hint of excitement in my head. Until then. Blake reached onto the end table to retrieve the remote for the small TV, and he started to scrolled through the channels; it was early; the news was his only option, plus perhaps he could feel that thrill of the job through the news; for a second.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

 Blake Gallo surprised himself with his confession, especially to a girl he just met hours ago. A girl who technically was deemed off limits. At least until the male was discharged and able to leave this dreadful hospital. It was the place he wasn’t a fan of, the place that felt like tragedy. That felt like his grief creeped up on him. He lost his whole family to a fire. He was the only one that survived, it encouraged him towards his purpose. Towards the risk taking he took on a daily. But being confided to these walls, it terrified him. But Melanie was a blessing; she was sweet, it was ideal to envision falling insanely in love with her. Because we laughed; our corny hospital date; I felt those butterflies. 

I forget why I was injured with her, and I couldn’t wait to see her again. As I heard her response, she was okay with my declaration of falling head over heels for her. And I promised myself; I’d catch her.  I’d hold her hand, I’d hold her to my chest if she dared to fall. But I was prepared to keep my mouth shut now especially when Dr. Halstead entered, I didn’t want to risk the chance of Melanie getting in trouble. We’d have time to discuss, to have our romance bloom after I was safely released from med.  My eyes eagerly watched the blonde disappear from my sight, I didn’t tether my eyesight to Will until Melanie was out of view. I made a note to be careful. More meds, a higher dose was concerning on my end. I already felt delusional, I felt high on drugs especially with how quick my eyes felt tired. Blake felt like the pressure on his chest was released when he found the tension in his shoulders relax. He eased himself into a sleep.  

Aching on his body, his limbs that tighten up from the bandaging, he didn’t want to be a bore, nor did he want to whine about the pain he felt. He felt his safest bet was to close his eyes. Once he felt himself dose off into a safe slumber, the male barely heard Melanie step into his room to do the next stages of meds, or to mark down his new stats. Blake had no idea how long he’d been sleeping, but it had to be hours before his head stirred awake. Before he was able to lift his eyelids open, the darkness in the room, His grogginess as he shifted his head from side to side eyeing the nurses station, Maggie was there typing on the laptop, the lights dimmed down; it had to indicate it was during the night right?

Blake Gallo was used to being the decent guy that finishes last. He was quirky, he was considered a clumsy fool which was actually quite irony if you thought about it. Since he was a rebel of his own mind. He was the one that wasted no time in jumping from stairway to stairway or the ladders that nearly got him pulled from the firehouse, if Casey didn’t go to bat for me. But Melanie she was beautiful, she was kind, and she somehow liked our hospital date. I couldn’t show my true colors the kind of date i’d truly be. But to hear her confession that she may fall for me if the next date was anything like this little one, I had to let the curves of a grin pull at my features. “ Well then, I definitely have to up my game. Because..” He paused as he glanced to the open doorway to ensure no nurses or doctors were passing by before his eyes swam to meet her own. “ I plan on falling completely over heels for you Melanie Brooks.” 

Quite a confession on his part; but he was falling. He swore he fell the second his delusional ass laid eyes on her. The way she was a calmness in his storm. The way she held his hand; the way she looked at him. He knew he’d fall if he hadn’t already. Asking the words aloud felt big manumission for him. As he felt that aching starting in his body; he tried to help the whine from escaping his own lips. But he was never big on pain. He felt the soreness in his skin,the bruises from his fall. But as she held his hand; his fingers eagerly curled around her own. Without thought; without knowledge of consequences on his part. But she liked that he wasn’t as strong as most fireman would be. A low chuckle escaped his own lips as he released her hand from his. Blake had dealt with pain, and he wasn’t going to deny that persistent pain in his body. As he shifted slowly to find the most comfortable position. His eyes kept on hers; she kept him sane within these walls. 

“ I think I’m done.” I said as my hands went to move the empty wrapping from the food together crumbled now as I tried to hand the trash to her; knowing it was helpful. Hands dropping instantly to the table as Dr.Halstead stepped inside. Gallo was one to face him feeling relieved with his tests coming back clean. Thank god he was prepared to be cleared together. “ Thank you for taking great care of me.” Echoed words aloud as my eyes moved from Halstead to Melanie not wanting my gratitude to become obvious of its own. As I noticed the blonde disappear I then allowed a few follow up questions. About healing period when I’d be cleared for duty, and Halstead shut me down instantly. “ Let’s see what happens tomorrow okay.” And I nodded as sigh left my lips leaning against the fluffed up pillows eyes gently closing.

Blake wasn’t going to say he was rarely ever taken off guard because he was quirky, dorky in a sense. He tended to laugh himself awkwardly out of situations. So him choking on water was no surprise. As for Melanie he was surprised she was posing such an offer. One technically speaking we were still in the walls of her place of work; the hospital. And I was her patient which indicated a sponge bath was off the table. Of course it was all teasing; I noticed the glimmer in her eyes. As if Melanie was being serious; we only just met. Barely a date through; this little teasing of a date tonight; the candle lit on my phone, the hospital food and small talk was enough to make me excited for a real outing between us. 

But Blake knew he never wanted her to compromise her career her footing at med for him; So it was nice to entertain the idea of a intimate act, while he was still stuck to the hospital bed. As he noted the amusement in her tone; he replied. “ YOu definitely did.” Get my attention. Why would anyone shut down the idea of a sponge bath with a beautiful women? Arching his brow up knitting them together; he asked ‘ Do you think the date won’t go well? Do you think the patient I am now isn’t going to live up to the hype without the rules surrounding us?” The rules of no crossing lines, the excitement of getting caught it winds you. Blake liked the blonde; and he was optimistic about what may occur once he was a free man; being able to take her on a real date; to talk more freely without the risk of someone listening in through the open doors. 

By now the pain medication had started to subside enough to where he felt that annoying ache in his chest, his lower stomach each time he had laughed or remotely attempted to hold a good time with Melanie. He weakly nodded his head. “ More jello yes, as for those pain meds yes.” As for the inside joke of bibs I had to hold my tongue on a laugh; was she going to hold my reaction over my head? Probably if her teasing was any indication. “ As for the bib you can gift it for me upon my release as a parting gift.” He added with the same level of amusement in his tone. As he said the words the ache in his body felt heavier as he placed his hand to his lower stomach a slight whine of pain. “ Don’t judge me please if I show my cards of my level of pain early on.” Blake added as a warning; knowing the female would ring up his next dose of pain meds shortly on his behalf.

Blake Gallo’s dating history spoke for itself. Ritter could purposely make a list in pure amusement, the lack of dating and more one date and then the harmless let down. Blake was a good guy but he did have baggage. The reason why he became a firefighter was at the forefront of his own mind. His family died in front of his eyes, he was the only one left, and each time he hops onto a ladder, each time he climbs up a flight of stairs or jumps he’s thinking of the family, of how it felt like to lose it all. And yeah Blake carried that ache on his chest. He knew it was a lot to take in the risk of not knowing if Melanie would see him again which is why he did the decent guy move and gave her the out. 

Of course he liked her; and he was making his shot with her. But he also respected her chose if she decided his line of work was too heighten too risky to handle. All that to say; the male held his own breath now, As he wore a smile that felt like it could bold into her. When she said she was all in; he swore he wore the brightest grin, his chest was beating fast out of enjoyment happiness. “ I want a date with you, I’m really glad you still want to date me..” It means that nurse charm hadn’t faded yet. Blake let his hands wrap around the cup of water as he brought it closer to his lips. Now he nearly choked on her teasing, a special lened hand of a nurse for him when he was hurt. He was coughing as he attempted to recover himself now. “ A sponge bath?” He asked raising eyes, the brows perked up now, Lost for words. Was this becoming less innocent and more banged with desire if we weren’t in this hospital room right now? 

“ As a nurse ensure I don’t have to stay in this hospital, do home care, and I can promise to behave for that sponge bath..” I added with a grin at the corners of my lips.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long.

Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face.

Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

Blake Couldn’t tell you when it happened, but he developed real feelings for his nurse. It was probably the second he opened his eyes after his fall and Melanie was the first person he saw. The first person he lamely uttered two words to. He remembered believing Melanie was the most beautiful women he’s ever laid eyes on. But our flirting was a game, or so I believed, it was a means of entertaining my time here at the hospital. She was sweet on the eyes; and appeared to like my dorky charms. I had no game as I remind you. But for some reason she couldn’t shake that smile that creased along her lips. Blake knew he was truly flirting with each whisper, with ease teasing word he spoke. But given the dangers of saying such intimate things in this room, with the chance of prying eyes; Blake may be catching his own luck. 

But he smiled, a true smile as he heard her notion of saying yes. In his head Blake was jumping for joy, he wanted to reach for the sky; but that would scream it was rare that a girl said yes to him before. And no he wasn’t going to be lame in front of the blonde, not tonight. She had time to back out of our future date. “ I wouldn’t hold it against you if you did back out at last minute.” 

I wouldn’t I was a good guy; understanding at that. Blake would understand if once we stepped outside the safety of these walls Melanie might decide I wasn’t worth the chance, or hassle. I wore the sleeves of a risky job, some days I had no idea if I’d end up walking back into my apartment in one piece. I liked her, I wanted the opportunity to get to know her; to hold her hand without fear of being caught. I wanted to laugh with her; I wanted to hold her gaze, and reach over to slip her loose strays of hair behind her ear. I wanted to know Melanie, but only if she decided a real date with me was her cup of tea. “ You and me both, Although if I hadn’t been emitted today, I wouldn’t of met you.” I paused ensuring no prying eyes were glancing in our firstion. I brought the last of my turkey wrap to my lips, As I lowered my tone once I finished chewing. “ You were the bright spot in my day Nurse Brooks.” I said in a teasing tone; an intimate gaze as my hues ranked her over as if for the first time. As for the questioning for my career; I was a firefighter; which meant. I risked my body on a daily, I tended to jump climbs, I took more necessary risks than others; and as I found myself getting lost in her eyes; I didn’t want to lie, not to her. 

“ It depends. I take more risks than others, It’s how I raised myself. I can get hurt, I never intend on appearing in a hospital, but if I know I may be seeing you it might be tempted.” I added with that charming grin of mine, hoping to loosen the blow of my own risky tenacious.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Gallo never was one to trade good luck when it came to relationships. He always tended to put his foot in his mouth. He was seen as immature at times; which was probably true. He was a younger firefighter; he had his stripes to earn. He was sweet, but he also had the tenacity to let his overthinking get the best of him. Did he believe he’d meet a lovely women here at the hospital? No and at the start when he requested her company on a jello date it felt all fun and games to sweep her away from that doctor Mike that simply couldn’t understand a hint. But now sitting here all bandaged up he couldn’t help but smile to himself and at her. He was smitten with her; she was attentive, she wanted to get to know him, she laughed at his lame and pathetic humor. He couldn’t shake the feeling he was suppose to meet her; and yeah the risk of his career was an obstacle we’d figure out if this date took off for real. 

Blake wasn’t concerned. He liked being around her; and it was big of him to assume but he felt like Melanie liked him too. She smiled at him, and he had to wear that drizzling smile of his when she made the quip about landing us right back into the hospital. The undertone of our whispers; knowing prying eyes could be observing in any corner. He never wanted to get the blonde in trouble, but his words; the flirting in his own nature; it’s like his mouth had a mind of its own. 

Blake hadn’t felt this way before; he was riding the wave. “ No, no more hospital visits, unless..” He paused taking a glance quickly towards the door noting no one was watching and he spoke in a hushed tone. “ It’s to visit you.” A smirk hitting the corners of his lips. Her touch left goosebumps along his skin, and he had to feel the shiver that ran down his spine. A small touch that felt like his skin was on fire. A lingering one as his hand was now released. And the smirk was content on his features. A smooth talker; Blake wanted to make his own intentions clear. 

“ Be prepared because I don’t make false promises, Once I’m released and our relationship isn’t messy due to the professionalism I’m required to hold right now, I will be taking your hand and asking you out on a proper date.” My eyes spoke for me as I drank her in as if I was fixated on her beauty, Glancing to the half eaten wrap I brought it up to my lips taking a few more bites; The wraps were decent; this hospital had brownie points. As for my release date, I knew I’d be in safe hands with Halstead and the female in front of me. “ Let’s hope it’s tomorrow. I can get impatient,” Didn’t we all. 

No firefighter enjoyed a hospital, especially when my favorite nurse was tending to other patients, The pain killers slowly working through the aches in my body. But I’d be awake until Melanie was forced away; Gallo had always been a trooper.

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Gallo was the guy who never landed the girl. He saw himself having no game at all. The only reason he ended up flirting with Melanie was due to the amount of drugs that coursed through his system. She was beautiful, any guy would be lucky to be on a date with her. But I’d never hold the courage to speak two words to her. I’d never be able to flirt my way into a meal with her. And that my friend was a compliment on her end. Blake was shy at times, he was stupid ass at times when it came to his ability to make a fool of himself. All that to say; the male wasn’t the one who was used to earning a smile from a beautiful girl. 

He wanted a real date, he wanted to be able to call her his, he liked her. The second he saved her from her torment of a date with Mike was it.. It may be the pain medication that was speaking for him. That was the motivation for why he sat with the blonde now, but he couldn’t imagine not being on a date with her now. A smitten grin that played against his lips, the male was the one that shifted slightly as he brought his wrap to his lips, taking a few bites as he processed her metaphoric words; her notions of what his words could mean for us. A hearted laugh that escaped his own lips. As he reached forward out of a tenacity, not remotely believing any doctor could be passing by, could be the ones to catch us. I wasn’t always going to be her patient, I’d be released soon. As my eyes scanned over her features, I wore a smile that said thousands. 

“ Or it could be mean I’ll be taking you breathlessly away, and to where when my lips touch yours you do get knocked off your feet, to where I won’t let you walk again..” The words breathless on my lips; not that either of us wanted to say the words; admit the meaning especially within these walls. Of risk, of not wanting to be caught.

Blake Gallo was always the guy who tended to make a fool of himself. He had good intentions always; he had a heart of gold. He was also quite the risk taker. Gallo didn’t know what it felt like to have a real girl interested in him. Yeah he had flings; he wasn’t shy to flirting but this felt different with Melanie. It wasn’t because she was deemed forbidden because he felt that attraction the second she spoke to him; that sweet voice of hers. The tenderness in her hands each time she took care of him. This date started off as a means of getting the blonde away from hr suitor; but now it felt real. Even if the male wasn’t allowed to make a move; he could shamelessly flirt with the female. In his dorky way. 

Holding the uncovered wrap in his grasp; the male brought the tasty wrap to his lips taking a few bites. Not realizing how hungry he was until he chewed and felt the lettuce and turkey melt in his mouth. Man he didn’t want to be a fool but he was so preoccupied before the call he never ate, and man this food tasted like it was decent; unless Melanie had purposely gotten us the good stuff. A dreamy grin laced upon his lips. He heard her compliment; it was sweet, and romantic on his end. He eyed the door; before he slowly purposely let his pinky hit the edge of her hand in a teasing motion. 

“ Thank you, I wanted to give you a taste of a real date with me, just imagine if we weren’t in this hospital.” He whispered for only the blonde to hear, a playful wink left his eye. And he purposely glanced to his food taking another bite in case any prying eyes were passing by. Innocent and harmless; for now. Now if we were here; and at an actual restaurant; I could throw the moves out there; touch her hand with purpose. But for now the conversation would have to hold. But it wasn’t in my head; because she wanted a real date too; I felt it with her gaze; with the way she spoke of forbidden love; it was hot; to think we’d see each other in secret. I wanted to; my heart was leaping for her. But for now I had to settle for sharing a meal with her. 

“ It’s a good thing I won’t always be your patient, I can say I will knock you off your feet the day I get released, but I guess I’ll settle with the jello for tonight.” He echoed with yet another teasing in his tone; he let his gaze linger on her; as if he was tracing her every feature; she was beautiful, smart everything a guy wanted; and he hoped this date never ended.

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Gallo had no game period. It was a miracle he got Melanie to agree to this little jello date of ours. Which technically wasn’t a real date it wasn’t allowed. Considering I was a patient and she was a nurse. I took the ethics seriously; nor would I want to do anything to jeopardize her career. From what I could tell the blonde was a good nurse; she tended to her patients needs. She knew how to talk to a worry patient. She was attentive to you; maybe in my case too attentive not that the male cared. He wanted to see her smile; he wanted to see the blush that creeped onto her cheeks. With her light skin tone; it was easy to tell the affect I had on her. It was cute the blush; the way she smiled instantly at seeing my lame attempt at a candle light. 

A vision in my head that appeared smoother on my part. Blake had to let the smile linger against his lips. It was easy to smile around her. She made me feel at ease. She made my chest flutter; I knew I had to control the affect the female had over me. I was a patient; nothing was allowed to happen between us now. Not until I was released from the confided space of this hospital; not to assume Melanie wanted to date me. That be assumptions of me.  Which wasn’t in my nature. Upon feeling her hands on my pillow; I had gently moved my frame in a more comfortable sitting position; my head leaned back against the comfort of the fluffy pillows. Hands folded in front of him on the small tray that was brought closer to him. His hands finding the comfort of the turkey wrap; hands unwrapped the food carefully before his eyes came to met hers. “ I did try, I had to make it seem like we weren’t surrounded by nurses and doctors.” A small gesture that the male hoped went a long way. 

Smooth; yes Blake was trying to use any game he remotely did have. For some reason Melanie appeared to like him. Only god knows why; he was injured; he was obviously clumsy; he never knew which foot to walk on to where he tended to fall right on his face. Within a few bites of his wrap; the male had to hold his tongue. An exhale of a laugh at her retort regarding the steller company she now had within him. Lingering content grin as he nearly got lost in her eyes; it was dangerous to be close; to change meals. But it only expressed to the male how he felt; it wasn’t a fleeting thought; it was real. As real as he felt in a damn long time. 

“ We couldn’t allow such lousy company for you now could we..” Teasing remarks as he brought his wrap to his lips taking another bite. Chewing slowly a small gulp as he aired out his words closely. “ Just think this is just a version of what a real date would look like with me, sounds appealing right..” An echoed reply as eyes darted to the doorway; ensuring no one heard his talk of a date; prying ears and all that; again he didn’t want to get her in trouble. He couldn’t bare her faults falling on him.

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

Having a crush on a nurse; one you just met, one who was tending to your wounds wasn’t ideal. For more than one reason. Blake also knew himself; it was easy for him to fall for someone. Easy for him to grow attracted to the bond, to the care the other person showed him. His own romantic history wasn’t one he could count on. He knew he was attracted to Melanie, she was sweet, she had that great bedside manner, she helped wrap his body up with ease. She was beautiful, but he wanted to get to know her. Of course right now there was a limit on how close he was able to get to her. Given she was his caretaker; his nurse was involved in his recovery plan set by Dr. Halstead. But I couldn’t help but let my thoughts linger on her. 

Her smile, Her encouragement to keep resting. Our little agreement for a jello date. My chest rapidly pounding fast; I had to exhale and inhale slowly just to steady its pulse. Again I wasn’t stupid. I knew the boundaries, I knew the rules of ethics. Did I plan on crossing a line? No not for myself to land in hot waters but also for the blonde. She was good nurse; she was given a chance here at Med; the last thing I wanted was for either of us to make a rash decision. Not to say the female was experiencing these thoughts as well. The attraction could be very well in my head. But I was one to uphold my promises. I promised her a jello candlelight date; of course just to piss off that doctor who obviously kept hitting on Melanie, it was kinda cringey to watch the blonde keep having to let him down. So out of impulse we ended up here. 

I had just set my phone on the table where it displayed a video of candlelights; it was corny. It was cheesy but that’s just who was when I felt someone deserved the fulfilled promises. A grin displayed on his lips when he heard the curtain move. He turned his eyes from the sheets of his bed over to where the female stood. Based on her tone and grin I did good; with the corny nature of mine. 

“ I figured you upheld your end, the least I could do was bring the candles to you.” A sheepish grin aimed for her. He slowly adjusted himself in the bed to a more comfortable sitting position. That tingling on his skin was felt. The jello’s that were pulled out; but the turkey wraps; he was starving. Licking over his lips he slowly reached over to lift the lid of the wrap open, wrapping palms around the wrapped turkey, lettuce as he uttered his words in delight. 

“ Thank you for making todays visit more delightful. I bet this is the best date company you’ve had..” A snicker of amusement; as he raised his wrap up to his lips to take a bite.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark.

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Gallo knew the dangers of getting involved with the wrong people. Just look at his track record. He got involved with Violet and it nearly destroyed the friendship we were building, of course she was someone I’d hold to my heart she was the first one I confidently could say I loved in a sense. Also gave me a push to get my crap together and mature. But I had the habit of liking the wrong people so no it was no surprise I found myself in quite the participant today with Melanie. She was cute; that smile of hers lit up the room. Her blonde hair I imagined running my hands through if the opportunity ever presented itself. I had a harmless crush and based on the way she looked at me I had the feeling it was mutuel. 

Not that Blake would ever act on said crush. He was a patient; he knew the consequences of a in house, in the hospital crossing lines romance. He would never risk getting the blonde in trouble. She was a sweet; and he offered to help her out with a date a pretend date tonight. He would get his jello; he’d get the jello he craved since the second he was emitted into med. But Melanie if she had other opportunities tonight she was free to leave once he was settled. He trusted the doctors here at med. Once the blonde left his sight of view he wore a lazy grin on bare lips. 

The discomfort he felt in his back was aching. He had to shift a few times in his bed before he lowered himself down against the fluff of his pillows. His eyes facing towards the window. Taking in the view of trees the fresh air outside. He knew it could be a bit before Melanie returned so he decided to rest his eyes. The pain meds doing their magic with relieving the pain he felt on his lower back. From the impact of the fall; his head was solid as he had a hard head; each risky move he made only confirming it. Darkness filled his eyes as he was closing them; obviously not intending to sleep. Knowing the doctors wanted to test for a conscious not wanting him to sleep yet. He felt the discomfort; but it only made him relax briefly. 

Minutes passed; he listened in outside of his room. Nurse had moved by in soft whispers; I had listened Halstead move around to another patient I assumed. Knowing any minute the blonde might pop her head back in with the jello the sound in my stomach told me I was hungry. Shifting eyes opened I adjusted to the light; Blake had pushed himself more in a sitting position. “ Ouch..” He pushed lips together to hide the whine that dared to escape his lips. Once he let his breathing slow down he had reached for his phone on the small table. Once he retrieved his phone he went to a google search for candles; he couldn’t actually give Melanie her real date; the candle lit jello date; but he had the screen displaying a video of lit candles; that were meant to smell like peaches; okay that would work. Finger pressed play as he laid the phone down on the table again. Corny yes; but he promised a lit candle jello date; and Blake was a man of his work. 

Eyes drew to the curtain waiting; missing the blonde on her next return.

[itanglethingsup]

In the job of a firefighter you encounter people all the time. Weather it was saving a life; or you crossed panthers with the doctors at the hospital. Blake Gallo was harmless; he told himself he was the innocent fool. He was the firefighter who was known as the risk taker. He was the one aimlessly jumping from building to building. He was the one that landed on his back, the one that had to be emitted to the hospital. Blake knew he shouldn’t be flirting with the nurse. And granted the first time he had it was due to the medications he was given. But now was it shamelessly flirting? Was it the pain medication? Honestly the male wasn’t sure. He liked Malanie; she was pretty; he lazily told himself. She also was caring; she was someone who tended closely to her patients or was that a bonus just I was given? 

Since starting at 51 the male hadn’t made a habit of showing up at hospitals unless it was to overlook a check up on his patients. This time around he was the one in the bed; he was the one that was nursing an injury. Not that he was proud of his heroic tenacity, because was he in the right head space today? No he felt like he had something to prove; and as a result he was the one that was taken for emergency care; he was the one that had to be bandaged up; he was the one that had to nurse himself back to health. But the blonde; she was able to lift his mood with a smile. It was sweet how tentative she was; of course he was a safe distance from the female despite their code of flirting about jello. It was innocent and harmless; the male told himself. 

A soft smile laid on his features. It was easy to talk to her; to tease and joke. Where the flavor of the jello was concerned; I had my own taste knew what type I’d eat; I was grateful for any amusement, any lightness of conversation Melanie was willing to give me now. Blake nodded as she lifted herself up off his bed, the bed that was his for tonight. He wore the smile as he laughed more so to himself. “ Okay, I’ll try real hard not to miss you..” A playful wink left his eye as he spoke. 

Blake had shook his head in amusement. He liked Melanie, she was nice; she appeared to want to spend time with him. Unless that was only her job description; it was hard to tell. She was smiling and bubbly; but he knew how she made him feel; he liked the smile that filled his lips; from an angle he watched her inch herself closer to the nurses desk. He had no one to talk to; he was a sitting duck until he healed; so if he could read lips; peek into what the happenings were at med; it would be quite the show.

[itanglethingsup]

Being bold; being able to make the first move was never my forte. Blake was more on the shy side when it came to women. Obviously his track record said something all on its own. But he was definitely considering making the moves with Melanie. She was kind, she was also trying weigh off of the guy Mike and if my attention helped keep her mind off that obstacle. I definitely was down for the idea. Plus Jello dates definitely sounded appealing to me if they were the orange or red kind I mean. I was a picky taser if you asked me. 

A low laugh was heard as I forced my gaze to end up meeting her own. I knew I was a patient, and she was nurse and while I was emitted here at the hospital nothing was able to happen between us. I wasn’t dumb nor was I reckless. I was more on the careful side. Nor did I want to get the blonde into trouble now. But I also felt this bound a connection between us; which forced me to continue with my low key flirting with the female not that she had put a pause to it. 

“ They definitely should if they plan on selling said jello. I know they have a customer in me, but i”m only one person.” A make a deal kind of mood obviously. Gallo wanted to laugh at himself; he was someone who named marketing off the tip of his tongue; no reason no thought process. But it was working definitely for Malanie’s benefit now. It was light and easy that was until he stupidly opened up about his own experience the why he decided to be a firefighter. Why he had pulled on the hat, the geer and leaped into fires. He lost people; his family and ultimately that’s what drove him, he wore a sad expression as he found his hands suddenly so interesting to him. The male had exhaled a light sigh as he felt her hand on his hand. Forcing his eyes to lift up to meet her own gaze. “ Thank you, It was a long time ago.” Years ago in fact yet Blake always found wa way to bring it up with a new community of firefighters. A new set of eyes and ears who seeked to know his story; and for right now I didn’t want to attach myself to my story; I wanted to smile and our jello date did the trick. It was easy; no haunting memories to taint it. A smile rested on his features as he nodded his head. 

“ Bring on the Jello.” He uttered with a beaming smile’ one he hoped kept a grin on Melanie’s face.

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her.

Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”
