Something About His Eyes
Chapter 4


After an hour taking blood tests and cleaning his cuts on his back the doctor came back to talk to them.
_Ok John… so in 4 days your tests will be ready, you just have to clean your back with this antiseptic soap and then, before you go to bed, pass this 
refreshing oil to make the pain go away fast.
_Just that? – he asked.
_Yeah… we couldn’t find anything wrong with your head nor any broken bone.
_Are you sure his head is ok? –asked.
_yes… there’s no need to worry; it was just a small bump on the back of his head… you can take your husband home now and bring him back in 4 
days so we can check the blood tests he asked for hepatitis and HIV.
They greeted the doctor and went back to her house.
_Aren’t you gonna come in? –said waiting for him by the door.
_I better go… - he said closing the coach.
_Why? You need to rest, to eat, to clean your bruises on your back so you can feel better. – she said as she went down the door steps.
_I know… but I don’t know you and you don’t know me… well I don’t know who I am but I need to know and ‘till then you can’t trust me in 
your house.
_Well… I know that… but so far I know John very well, the guy you used to be won’t hurt me now… plus I can kick your ass. – she said making 
him laugh.
_You’re funny.
_C’mon John, get in… and I’m gonna you stay on my sofa.
Both got in andwent to her closet to get a pillow, a blanket and some clean sheets. She helped “John” to make the sofa-bed and gave him 
another shirt so he could sleep.
_Mexico?? – he asked taking the shirt.
_I love that place, I go there everytime I can.
_Cool… I wonder if I’ve ever gone to Mexico.
_We will find out soon… now lay on your stomach so I can pass the oil on your back.
_Are you gonna do it for me? – he asked surprised.
_Sure, your hands are big but they won’t get the right spots so I’ll do it. – she said taking his shirt off.
_Thank you… are you a nun or something? – he asked laying on his stomach.
_No… but I think I’m Madre Teresa’s lost “granddaughter” –said sitting on his butt – So… is it good? – she asked slowly passing the oil on 
his back.
_Yeah… it’s great – he said tripping for some reason.
As she did that, Jan started to analyze his back, then his neck, his shoulders and she realized “John” was sleeping looking really tired. She got 
off him, covered him with the blanket and went to her bedroom locking the door right after it.
On the next morningwoke up around 10am, took a hot shower then went to her kitchen.
_What are you doing?
_Well, I woke up an hour ago and I felt like making breakfast… so since you helped me…by the way, Mark called and said you should call him today.
_O…K… I’m gonna call Mark from the living room.
_Sure – he said drinking his juice and she went to the living room.
_Hey Mark! –said when he picked up.
_What are you gonna do tonight?
_well I don’t know yet… but I need something from you like… now!
_Say it girl.
_I need some clothes from you and shoes as well.
_Are you insane mate? Why you want my clothes?
_I have this friend in my house and the airport lost his bag and he’s the same size as you.
_Tell him to buy new stuff!
_C’mon Mark… please mate… I’ve helped you before.
_Fine… what does he need?
_Bring me 2 pants, 2 pair of shoes, 5 shirts and socks and a jacket and shorts so he can sleep with it or walk around the house.
_Anything else? My whole closet for example?
_Thank you Mark, I’m gonna wait for you.
_Any time mate.
turned off the phone and went back to the kitchen.
_Mark is coming. – she said eating her cereal.
_Oh… so I better leave if your boyfriend is coming.
_He’s not… we had sex once but it didn’t work… so we’re friends since then and he’s bringing you clothes so you can stop laughing at my shirts.
_Why are you so nice with me? I just can’t figure that out… I mean, no one wanted to help me but you did, why? – he said and sat really near her.
_Well, you asked for help so I did… don’t think too much about it John, relax, enjoy your breakfast ‘cause as soon as Mark gets here we’re gonna 
work on the person you used to be. 
She said that, kissed his cheek and left drinking a bottle of water.
