The Present Time
I came awake feeling that I was in a bed but didn't recognise the ceiling above me so wondered just where the hell was I? I turned my head to the right and gave out a groan at the movement and saw Tracey asleep in a chair quite close to me. That he was asleep was made known by the gentle snoring and the odd facial twitch probably caused by some sort of dream. It must have been a good one for his face had a gentle smile on it.
I tried to speak his name but my mouth was so dry that all that came out was some kind of croak. But it was enough for Tracey to open his eyes that suddenly came alight when he saw that I was awake.
'Marcus!' he cried, getting up and came over and kissed me on the lips. 'God be praised. We didn't know when you were going to wake up.' He raised his arm past my head and must have pushed a button or something, for almost immediately a nurse came into the room.
'Welcome back,' she said coming over to me and I tried again to speak but again, just a croak came out of my mouth. 'You must be thirsty,' and I heard water being poured into a glass and her hand came under my head and lifted it so that I could get my lips up to the rim of the glass without spilling the lovely fluid.
What bliss to have it wash the fur from my tongue as I took it in and after moving the mouthful round in there, swallowed it. She let me take another couple of mouthfuls before pulling the glass away and letting my head down gently onto the pillow. I had to cough to get my vocal cords in action before I could speak.
'Where am I?' I asked.
'In hospital. You took a nasty crack on the head from a cricket bat,' she said.
'Is the bat alright or is it in hospital too?' I asked, trying to grin. I heard Tracey give out a laugh as he came round the other side of the bed and took hold of my hand as the nurse gave a smile at my feeble joke.
'The bat has got a dent in it and gave you a huge lump on your head, but it survived,' Tracey said, giving my hand a squeeze.
'Who won?'
'The bat. It knocked you for a six, though you didn't reach the boundary,' he said with a laugh.
'The game I meant,' I said with a chuckle.
'I don't know. I came with you in the ambulance,' he said.
'How long have I been out?'
'About twenty four hours,' he said, looking up at a clock on the wall which I just noticed.
'Well as he's come round now,' the nurse said. 'I'll go and tell the doctor so he can give you a check over. I'll leave you with Miss Tracey,' and she left the room. The reason for her using the title of Miss for Tracey was because he was dressed up as I've always known him, that being in a dress and a picture of loveliness that I couldn't get over the fact that he was indeed a male in this attire.
More than that, he was my partner in all senses of the word for we have even been married by a vicar that had been prepared to join two males in matrimony. But then you should know this from the previous three books that have been written about us. What with me suffering from amnesia due to a gunshot wound to the head and having Tracey take good care of me.
Amnesia!
It was gone! I could now remember everything! A bullet took my memory away and now a cricket bat has given it back to me. I was told that it was likely that it would return, but more just bits at a time, though I didn't think that they meant me to be hit round the head with a bat to bring it all back.
'I'm glad you're awake now darling,' Tracey said squeezing my hand again. 'I can't wait to get you home again,' and his smile caused my cock to start to rise up at what we would do when we got there. He leaned over and gave me another kiss, much longer this time and his free hand went down and stroked my front.
He broke the kiss with a chuckle. 'I can feel that you want to get home too. Oh darling! Tell them that you are okay so that we can go to bed and let us show just how much we love each other.'
'I can't wait Tracey,' I said but couldn't say anymore for the door to the room opened and Tracey quickly pulled his hand away from my front as the doctor came in.
