Salma

I woke up pleasantly sore.

Brandon had always had a way with his tongue.

In college, he had been dubbed by his ex-girlfriends and several flings as the king of heads.

Last night was the second time he had gone down on me, and in the five years since he had given me head, he had developed some new skills.

I looked beside me, hoping to see his sleeping face, but the bed was empty. I sat up in bed only to discover an empty room. I walked to the bathroom, hoping that he was there at leas

    SalmaI woke up the next morning groggy and even more exhausted than the night before. I saw the chandelier floating in front of my face and I was not immediately alarmed because it looked familiar. I had woken up in this bed before, even the bed felt familiar. I blinked several times, trying to wake myself up properly, then I stretched my right arm and I did not hit the bed—I hit something or someone hard. I turned, immediately alarmed, and right beside me was a man. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. I had somehow ended up in bed again with Brandon. I felt overwhelming shame at first that I had not had the self-control to push him away when he had kissed me. My head began to ring with a tremendous headache as flashes of the night filtered through my memory. I had been unable to sleep. Then I went downstairs, rummaging through the parking lot when I saw Brandon. Then we went for a late-night drive to clear our minds, somehow ended up in a bar to celebrate the transplant, then… “

    BrandonJosephine’s eyes were flashing with fury. I could not understand what I had done so wrong to deserve such a look from her. “I don’t understand,” and I was a little offended too. Since I had discovered that Leona had cancer, I had done everything I could to be there for her and our daughter. “If you are going to break her heart again, just let her be,” Josephine sounded frustrated too, “since I met her all she can do is talk about you and how you broke her heart but you did more than that, Brandon. You broke her and she was healing and then you come back into her life and everything goes downhill again.” “That is a bit of an unfair assessment…” “Is it?” she cut me off midsentence, “stop toying with her feelings, Brandon. She deserves better than that.” “I am not toying with her feelings,” I felt the need to defend myself. Josephine raised an eyebrow, “So what are you doing with her? Do you love her? Why won't you tell her why you left her abruptly five years ago?” “It's…

    Brandon“Don’t pretend like you give a damn about me,” Salma stormed off angrily. I looked at Elaine, wondering if she had no context for social and emotional cues. “I brought food for both of you…” she began to say but I cut her off, “never show up in front of Salma again. She’s been through enough.” I tried to walk away afterwards but she held onto my arm, “What about me?” she asked, “Have I not been through enough? What is so wrong about loving you?” I said nothing but only freed myself from her hold and walked out on her, hoping that I could still catch up with Salma. I got to her in time, just as she was about to enter a car. “Wait,” I said to her, “I’m sorry about…” “I don’t want to hear it,” she replied, “you’ve spent most of the day with me, you can go be with your pregnant fiancée.” “She’s not…” “I don’t care.” She was about to enter the car when I held her back by holding her hand, “What about my mom?” I asked, “Won’t you say hi to her?” I could see on her face tha

    SalmaIt was a very quiet three hours. Time passed slowly as the IV bag emptied. I watched in a blur as nurses came in and out of Leona’s room; as Dr. Hans walked in occasionally to check her vitals. I was scared. Scared that something could suddenly go wrong but nothing did. And when Dr. Hans finally announced three hours later that the transplant was done, I still did not sigh in relief. Instead, it was a different type of anxiety that clouded my thoughts. “Is that it?” Brandon asked quietly, still staring at Leona’s IV line as if expecting something more to happen. Dr. Hans nodded, “Yes. The infusion is complete.”Brandon and I exchanged looks before shifting our gaze to Leona. I looked at Leona. She was still asleep. She had not woken up even once this morning and that made me anxious even though I knew it was perfectly normal. “Why does it not feel like anything happened?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Dr. Hans gave a small, understanding smile. “The real work be

    Brandon“Is everyone ready?” asked Dr. Hans cheerfully as he entered Leona’s room in the morning. Leona was still fast asleep and so was Salma. I was the only one awake. “Late night?” he asked me and I nodded. Salma stirred in her sleep but did not wake up. “Can you proceed with the transplant?” I asked Dr. Hans. “Yes,” came his response, “but I need you both to change your gowns and masks. Do you wish to stay by her side while she's receiving donor cells?” I nodded a little bit too enthusiastically. “Yes,” I replied, “yes.” “We’ll soon be done collecting stem cells from Mrs. McClean,” he informed me, “I’ll be back within an hour to hook her up with an IV.” “Thank you, doctor,” I said, watching the man leave the room. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I stepped out to check if there was anything important that needed my urgent attention. It was Rose calling me. I answered on the first ring. “Rose?” “There’s a problem,” her voice sounded panicked. “What is it?” I asked. “O

    Salma“Hi baby,” I greeted Leona as I entered her room. She was awake and she looked full of energy. I blew her a kiss, not wishing to infect her with anything new, and then I watched Brandon do the same. “Thank you,” I whispered to Josephine who nodded at me. “I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said, leaving the room and waving goodbye to Leona. Brandon and I sat on either side of Leona. He was going to tell her that he was her father. I could see on his face that he was anxious. Leona could reject him; tell him she did not want someone in her life who had abandoned her or she could welcome him into her life with open arms. I was going to do my best to interfere as little as possible or possibly not at all. Brandon looked at me for encouragement. I had never seen him appear so nervous in my life. I was going to ignore his quiet plea for help but I decided to help him just a little bit, “There is something we want to tell you, honey,” I said softly to Leona. Leona, who was an ever-cu

    Brandon “I am planning a romantic vacation for your mother for our thirty-fifth anniversary,” We had been eating for a while in silence when Mr. Summers made the announcement. I had to pinch myself from rolling my eyes. He was planning an anniversary when only seconds ago he had been shamelessly fl

    Salma“Be a good girl, okay? No running around,” I said, pinching my baby's cheeks. I kissed her on the forehead and smiled graciously at the nurse who had offered to keep an eye on her for me.“Bye, mummy,” Leona's voice warmed my heart and I gave her another kiss. “Bye, sweetheart.” I walked aw

    Salma “We'll take a thirty-minute break and then convene in the surgical simulation lab,” Dr Allison said and one by one the room began to empty out. “Dr. Langhorn, I would like you to stay behind,” Dr. Allison told a doctor who was about to step out. He waited until the room was basically empty.

    Brandon I came into the hospital through the front entrance which was my first mistake as the place was filled with people in various stages of sickness, all waiting to see a doctor. I looked around, a little lost as to where to set foot or go. “Excuse me, sir?” A nurse walked up to me, “Are you
