Babes Stripping for Love 31. Family Support
It was late in the evening when Gage's family arrived at the hospital, Rockford had gone back to the club after a private conversation with Gage when Bree took a quick coffee break. Bree was alone by his bedside when his parents, Edith and Graham greeted her. "Bree, thank you for waiting on Gage." His mom put her hand on Bree's shoulder as she said her words. "He's asleep," Bree turned to face his mom, "I'm going to wait outside for your privacy." She didn't want to stay around, Bree was not sure how much Gage wanted his parents to know about his condition. But before she could get out of the room his mom put her hand on her arm to stop her and pulled her in for a hug."I know you love my son, thank you for being here for him." "You're welcome," Bree blinked to rid of her unshed tears, "I'm going to get some coffee," Bree said softly and Edith finally let her go and joined her husband by her son's bedside, the older couple looked broken Bree wanted nothing more to do but give them

Bree woke up from the most uncomfortable sleeping position ever, but then she smiled when she feels him looking at her waking up by his bedside. "Morning," Bree greeted him with a shy smile. "Morning, beautiful," Gage moved his thumb to caress her warm cheek. "I thought I sent you home to sleep in a bed, is Mrs. Mancini with Hazel?"Bree blushed before she straightened herself in the hospital chair. "Hazel is with Mrs. Mancini, I intend to go back home when you're in surgery and recuperation. There will be nothing I could do while they do your biopsy and then you'll be resting afterward.""You've done this before?" Gage asked, his voice was throaty and Bree helped him with his water then she reaches for her bottled water in her overnight bag."Two times with my aunt, she had cancer, they tried everything, another sample was taken when her pathologist needed more to diagnose." Bree hoped that Gage's doctor was better and that his team of specialists will care for Gage with their best

Bree was right when she told him that she should not go back to his house just yet. She hated that she was right because when she stepped into his recovery room she realized that it was going to take all her strength to pull through whatever deep water Gage had blindly and unintentionally dragged her into. The expressions shown by his family say it all, one of his doctors was walking out of the room and nodded politely at her. Bree didn't even remember what the doctor specializes in. She reached his bedside while Sally and Marvin were talking to Gage, they both smiled at Bree. She was getting nervous about the outcome of the biopsy, there were numerous things that could go wrong when he wake-up, his mom pulled Bree in for her warmest hug and his dad rubbed her shoulder as if her cat had died.What the hell is going on? she asked herself, and she got her reply when she faced Gages and saw nothing. The man looked at her and said nothing. Oh God, no... no...no... not memory loss. Bree
Babes Stripping for Love 34. Lingering Feelings
It has been six weeks since Gage was released from the hospital. He received his result, his tumor was benign and his team of doctors had managed to take it all out. Now, he was struggling with his memory loss. His parents, especially his mom insisted on staying at his place for the first few weeks and even went far as taking Duke with her to let the dog give him more comfort in Gage's daily life. Edith had read somewhere that a family pet can reduce stress from memory loss. Gage had been seeing his neuropsychologist, he had done a full evaluation for Gage's cognitive rehabilitation. He had endured a series of interviews and psychological tests, some his parents were there to take part and helped his neuropsychologist learn about his behavior before and after the tumor surgery. Gage would sometimes still have problems concentrating, and miraculously his brother Marvin had been stepping up to help him with his businesses. He has been very patient with his brother,

"Gage?""Yeah, sorry Jade, please come in." Gage and Jade had been dancing around each other since the first day he was back working in his office at Babes. Not that Marvin hadn't been doing a good job there, but Gage needed to see some familiar faces in his environment and Jade was the person that he had felt most intimate with since his memory loss.Though Gage seemed reluctant to move forward with Jade, cause he didn't want to start something he knew he had ended before. That afternoon he finally called in Jade to find out why. Hopefully, she could tell him the reason they broke up, if not then he'll think of something else. These past couple of weeks Gage felt like he had done too much thinking.The dark-haired woman with decorative tattoos on several parts of her body gave him a smile before she took her seat in front of him. Gage decided to stay behind his desk, thinking he felt less awkward with some distance for their talk since he didn't

They both stay still not wanting to break the silent comfort, but Gage can only hold her for so long before things got uncomfortably awkward. "I have your number on my phone, can I call or text you later?""Yes," She said almost instantly making him smile warmly."Can I take you out for coffee, or maybe lunch?" Gage thought dinner will have to wait, coffee or lunch sounded safer. At least that was what the man thought."Of course," her smile grew wider, he could see she hesitated but he couldn't help but feel happy for both of them."Thank you, Bree, for giving me a second chance," "Thank you for wanting it," Bree said sweetly to him.Gage took her hand on his and rubbed her knuckles with his thumb, not sure about kissing her, though he did want to. Again it was another thing that he needed to wait for. Slowly, he thought, he was going to take it slow with her. The sparks of happiness he had minutes ago were
Babes Stripping for Love 37. Coffee Date
Bree was nervous when she was getting ready this morning. Mrs. Mancini was in the kitchen with Hazel baking cookies, trying to give the single mom the privacy that she needed. A couple of days after she found out about Gage's tumor, she had told the older woman about his condition. Bree cried on her shoulder and then both agreed to keep Hazel from the truth for the time being. Mrs. Mancini had sympathized with Bree and wished everything to go back as they were once before. That was why she came to keep Hazel busy when Bree told her that she was going for a coffee date with Gage. "You look nervous," Mrs. Mancini stated when Bree came out of her room in her comfiest pair of jeans and baby blue blouse. It was one of her favorite blouses, Gage had told her that she looked beautiful in it months ago and Bree wears it just because he said so."I am," she bit her lip while her eyes roamed their small living room, then she smiled when she sees Hazel s

"Gage!!" Hazel ran to the man and he instinctively scooped her up for a big hug. "I missed you! where have you been?!" her little hands wrapped around his neck and he smiled brightly at Bree."Hazel honey, why don't you take a seat, Gage is going to join us at the zoo but he would like to talk to you first." Bree ushered both of them to the living room then she followed Mrs. Mancini as she was headed out the door wanting to give the three of them privacy."oh-oh... was it because I asked you to be my daddy?"Bree took a deep breath and backed away when tears were threatening to roll down her cheeks. "It's okay Bree, believe in him, believe in yourself," her neighbor put her hand on Bree's shoulder, assuring her. "I'll be next door if you need anything, okay?""Thank you." She said putting a smile on her face and toughening herself up. Bree locked the front door after her neighbor, then join Hazel and Gage in the living room."Mommy! mommy
