Third Person POV

Newwie found it hard to believe that his Kim was actually at the other end of the line. Just what were the chances. And just when he had practically given up hope that he and Kimmon would be able to get back together again.

"Kim! Yes, this is Newwie! Whose phone is this you're using to call me? I didn't recognize the number. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is we're talking to each other. So sorry that I'm just blabbing away like crazy. I just got all excited to hear your voice on my phone." 

Newwie couldn't help it. He was like a cricket prancing around in happiness. In fact he was still trying to take in the fact that Kimmon was talking to him right now.

"Newwie... " Kimmon said tentatively, "were you serious about keeping me company tonight?"

"Of course, Kimmie! What did you think I brought my foldable bed for???" Newwie replied excitedly. "I can't believe that you would even entertain the idea that I wasn't serious about spending the night with you. And for the rest of your stay in the hospital as well." Newwie added the last bit for good measure.

"Very well then ... I am looking forward to spending the night with you... " said Kimmon unable to take the feeling of uncertainty off his voice.

"Are you very sure about it, Kimmie? I can hear the hesitation in your voice," said Newwie, still unable to believe his very good luck.

"Yes, I'm sure, Newwie," said Kimmon, "see you later."

Kimmon swiped the phone to end the call. He handed the phone back to his doctor.

"Thank you, Dr. K," he said, "to be honest I am not sure that I want Newwie's company tonight. I don't know the first thing to say to him."

Suddenly Kimmon had a bright idea.

"Dr. K, can you spend the night with me as well?" Kimmon tried to make his voice as plaintive as possible.

"Only if it's just you and me. I mean... I mean..." Dr. K cursed himself inwardly. What the hell made him say that. "Kimmon, what I meant was, for now, Newwie has to interact with you alone. My presence will distract you and might obstruct the images from the past that are waiting to return to your brain."

"Can't I make you change your mind, Dr. K?" asked Kimmon, not wanting to be dissuaded.

Kimmon saw the indecision on Dr. K's face and pounced on it. "Please, please, please, with a cherry on top???"

That made Dr. K laugh out loud.

Then Dr. K sobered up.

"Let me be honest with you, Kimmon," he said seriously, "I wish I could, but I can't. However, I promise to visit you first thing in the morning. You will be the first in my list when I do my rounds. If Juliet the nurse will be my accompanying nurse, just remember to behave. No requests for a hug or worse a kiss. She's a dragon of a nurse. Very strict. She's a stickler for hospital rules and regulations. But that is why I prefer her to accompany me in my rounds. She keeps me in check."

"If I owned this hospital I would fire her," Kimmon declared firmly.

That made Dr. K laugh out loud again.

Suddenly Earth, who had been quiet all this time and had just been listening to Dr. K's and Kimmon's conversation, spoke up, "It's getting late, Kim, Dr. K, I have to excuse myself. I have loads of stuff to attend to."

"Of course," Dr. K and Kimmon replied simultaneously.

"I will be taking my leave as well, Kimmon," said Dr. K after Earth shut the door behind him.

"Kiss me first before you go," Kimmon said suddenly, "while Nurse Juliet is not yet with you," Kimmon added with a wink.

"You naughty, naughty patient," said Dr. K as he bent down to plant a kiss on Kimmon's forehead.
