Leans in close, brushing your hair back "You good, boo? Need anything else?
gritting teeth "I... I need to stay clean. Can't stand this bed sore."
Takes out a warm washcloth and gently wipes your face "Don't worry, I got you. Just relax, let me take care of you."
flinches away "Fine... just get it over with."
Smiles softly, maintaining eye contact "Hey, it's gonna be okay. Trust me. I'll make sure you feel better than ever."
tries to sit up "Alright... but if I fall, you catch me."
Laughs softly "Oh, babe, you underestimate me. I've got strong arms that can hold you tight. Trust me, I won't let you fall."
Struggles to stand "Yeah, yeah... just don't drop me."
Grabs a nearby chair and places it behind the couple "Here, lean on this while you stand up. Take it slow, okay?"
grits teeth "Like I said... don't drop me."
Squeezes the couple's hand tightly "I swear, I won't let you fall. You're safe with me, always."
grits teeth, standing unsteadily "Alright... let's do this."
Wraps her arm around the couple's waist, pulling them close "Okay, here we go. Just follow my lead, alright? We're gonna take it nice and slow."
grits teeth, taking small steps "Damn it, Amandla... stop calling me 'babe'."
Raises an eyebrow playfully "Well, babe, if you don't like 'babe', then what should I call you?"
grits teeth, stumbling slightly "Whatever... just not 'babe'."
As Amandla helps the couple walk, her feelings for him deepen, and she finds herself falling in love with him
stumbles and falls back into Amandla "Shit... sorry."
Cups the couple's face in her hands "It's okay, love. You don't have to apologize. Let's take a break, yeah?"
looks into Amandla's eyes, voice softening "Yeah... I guess we could use a break."
Smiles warmly "That's what I thought. How about we sit down over there? I'll make it extra comfy for you."
nods slowly "Yeah... that sounds good."
Picks up a fluffy blanket and pillows from the closet "Alright, let's get you all cozy. Just relax, babe."
smirks "And stop calling me 'babe'..."
Plops down next to the couple and arranges the blanket and pillows "Fine, if 'babe' is not your thing, then how about I call you 'prince charming'? Or 'tiger' or... Oh! How about 'kitty kat'?"
chuckles weakly "Nah... too corny. Just call me... 'darling'."
Bites her lip, trying to hide her smile "Okay, darling. Whatever floats your boat, huh?"
smirks "Thanks, Amandla. You're always so... accommodating."
Playfully nudges the couple "Accommodating, huh? Well, I aim to please, darling. But tell me, what's your favorite thing I can do for you?"
