It's No Fun on the Sidelines

I sat on the dirt, slowly sipping my Red Bull. It was getting dark and a lot of riders were leaving. I was just waiting for the traffic to disappear. And I was trying to avoid the media. I had over heard Blake call me “His Sheila.” and I knew they were looking for me to bother me about it. I heard footsteps and then someone sit next to me. They sounded out of breath. I looked over and it was Blake, a large grin on his face one he saw me looking at him.

“Your very hard to find.” He said, taking a deep breath.

“Good.” I said, looking away and pulling my knees closer to my chest.

I heard him sighed then he put both his arms around me and pull me as close as possible. I relaxed slightly, taking in the scent of Axe and gasoline. Now I know what Molly was talking about, how all FMX guys smell good, no matter what. He kissed the top of my head and I could feel him smile into my hair.

“Todd feels really bad.” He said. I looked up at his brown eyes and I could tell he wasn't lying.

“Nobody knew your father died. We all feel horrible. But if he was here, I'm sure he'd be really proud at how far you've come. And how beautiful you are.” He said with a sweet smile.

“When the hell did you get deep?” I asked, trying to fight off the large smile that as spreading on my face.

“I can be deep. You'll get used to it after a few months.”

“What makes you think I'll see you after X?” He grinned and kissed my cheek.

“Didn't I tell you? I'm kidnapping you and bringing you back to Australia.” He said with the most serious face. He then stood up and picked me up bridal style. I couldn't help but start giggling.

“Now, there's one thing we've gotta do.” He said, and I knew what he meant.

“Can we please go get changed? I feel dirty.” I said, pleading with my eyes.

“Nope. I think you look sexy as hell. And it's out of the way, so I win.” He said.

I pouted and crossed my arms. He just laughed and kissed me. I felt a bright light then laughter. I pulled away from Blake and saw Cam with his camera phone. Blake shot him a look and Cam just smiled.

“So going on Twitter right now.” He said before quickly running off.

“Let it go. I've got some apologizing to do.” I said, turning his head away from Cam.

He nodded and place me in the truck and we drove off to the hospital.

I took a deep breathe as we started walking towards Todd's room. Blake gave my hand a reassuring squeeze before we walked back in to find both Molly and Todd fast asleep. Blake laughed and sat in a chair. He patted his lap and smiled.

“They're asleep.” I said.

He shrugged and opened his arms. I sat on him and he held me close, rocking us slowly. I couldn't help but laugh. He was being soadorable stupid. He gave me a quick kiss before reaching behind him and turning off the light. I hadn't slept in a hospital since my dad, but being in Blake's arms made the world seem to not matter anymore.
