Chapter 7
The couple quickly jumps apart. Chance grabs up the broken camera and pretends to be inspecting it.
"Tim, Honey? Are you okay?" Tina asks as she opens the door. "I just got back from running some errands and Jenika told me what happened."
Tim nods with a frown and points to the camera in Chance's hands.
"I know, I heard and I'm so sorry, Sweetie." Tina says as she walks over to the bed. "Chance, can it be fixed?"
"Unfortunately, no. The back is broke off and the lens is cracked." Chance answers. "But I told him that I had plenty of cameras and that he could have one of them."
"That's awfully sweet of you." Tina smiles.
"But they're all digital, though." Chance adds.
"That's fine. We can print the pictures out for him in the office." Tina says. "That's no problem."
Tim hands Tina a note that he had be writing while she and Chance were talking.
"Adam is being punished. :( " The note says.
"I know and again I'm sorry. But we have to have rules. And fighting is against the rules. Even though Adam didn't actually start the incident, he did throw the first punch." Tina says. "I really hate that he's being punished, he's so sweet. But it's only for twelve hours. Most of that will be tonight so he'll be asleep. He'll be out by breakfast."
Tim begins to write another note then hands it to Tina.
"The worse punishment for him is not having anyone to talk to for twelve hours. You know how much Adam loves to talk." Tim chuckles.
"Oh, my God. Yes." Tina laughs. "We all know that way too well. We won't be able to shut him up."
"I'm going to run up to my apartment real quick. I know I've already brought the box with all my cameras." Chance says as he stands from the bed. "I'll see what I can find for him."
Chance looks down at Tim but he hangs his head as if he was too embarrassed to look at Chance.
"I'll be back in a little bit." Chance says before leaving the room.
Chance hurried up to his room. He started going through the boxes looking for his cameras. Why didn't he label the boxes like Heather told him to.
He had just recently bought a Sony Cyber-Shot camera. It's small and could easily fit into Tim's pocket. It would be perfect for him.
"Finally." Chance says as he finds the box he was looking for. He grabs the camera box and checks to make sure everything was still inside the box. He also grabs a new SD card.
"He's going to love it." Chance smiles as he leaves his apartment.
He taps lightly on the door as he opens it. Tim looks up from where he was sitting Indian style on the bed. He was going through pictures that he had taken recently. And the best part was, Tina had left.
"I found it." Chance says as he walks over and sat down on the bed. He hands the box to Tim. Chance couldn't help but grin at the beautiful smile on Tim's face as he quickly opens the box.
"Wow, it's so small." Tim says softly after glancing up at the door to make sure it was closed.
"Yeah, it's just what you need. It will slip easily into your pocket and you won't have to tote it around. The battery is rechargeable. All you have to do is plug it up." Chance tells him. "This chip is what holds your pictures."
"You'll have to show me how to use it." Tim says with a smile as he thumbs through the instruction guide that was included.
"I'd love to." Chance says.
Tim lays the camera aside as his expression becomes serious.
"Is something wrong?" Chance asks as he notices the change. "Do you not like it?"
"What? No, I love it." Tim says shaking his head. "Thank you, so much."
"Then what's wrong." Chance asks with concern.
"Uh, about earlier." Tim says as he bites his bottom lip and hangs his head.
"Yeah?" Chance asks.
"I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have......" He stops as Chance places a finger under his chin to lift his head.
They stare into each other's eyes for a few seconds before Chance leans in, placing his lips to Tim's in a sweet kiss.
Chance pulls away, only inches from Tim's face. Tim's brown eyes was wide with shock. Chance wasn't even sure that he was breathing.
"You were saying?" Chance asks with a smile.
"Nothing." Tim says softly, a smile growing on his lips. "Nothing at all."
"Can I kiss you again?" Chance asks, smiling.
Tim smiles and nods his head quickly.
"I didn't hear you." Chance says in a teasing manner, putting his hand up to his ear. He was just trying to keep Tim talking.
"Please do." Tim whispers.
Chance leans forward once again. This time Tim meets him half-way. The kiss is a little more passionate.
Chance's hand snakes to the back of Tim's head pulling him deeper into the kiss. Their lips move in perfect sync.
They break the kiss, placing their foreheads together as they try to catch their breath.
"That was nice." Chance smiles.
"Yeah it was. Very nice." Tim chuckles softly. "I've never kissed a man with a beard before."
"Get use to it." Chance says with a grin, before giving him another quick kiss.
"It may take awhile. But you know what they say, 'Practice makes perfect', right?" Tim giggles.
"I'm all for practicing." Chance chuckles. He rubs his thumb across Tim's cheek before kissing him again.
"But, Chance, we can't let anyone know about this." Tim says, his expression becoming serious as he takes Chance by the hand.
"Why? Is there someone that might get jealous if they found out?" Chance asks with a smile.
"No. Come on, I'm being serious." Tim says as he smacks Chance on the leg. "We have to keep this a secret. I don't know, but there may be a rule about employees and patients being a relationship."
"Oh, I never thought about that." Chance says with a heavy breath.
"I'd never forgive myself if I was the reason you get fired." Tim says, sadly. "So. Maybe we should...."
Tim could not bring himself to finish his statement. He didn't want to say that maybe they shouldn't.
"No." Chance says firmly as he places a finger on Tim's lips. "Tim, you told me that you liked me a lot. Well, Sweetie, I like you a lot too. A whole lot. Your lips are the sweetest I've ever kissed. I don't plan on stopping kissing them either. If we have to keep this a secret, then we will."
"I was kinda hoping you'd say that." Tim smiles as he wraps his arms around Chance's neck.
"We'll find a way." Chance says before crashing his lips to Tim's in a passionate kiss.
