I checked on Terry often, the man slept for hours the pills were making him sleepy, I heard him get up after about three hours of sleep he was flushing the toilet.
"Tom would it be okay if I showered I feel a bit sweaty, hoping it makes me feel a bit better."
"Terry make yourself at home please, if you need anything help yourself, if you need help just ask please."
"Could you help me get in the shower I'm a bit dizzy and unsteady on my feet right now."
"How about I just give you a sponge bath instead, this way you can lay down and you will still feel much better. You just seem a little to unsteady on your feet to try an actual shower."
Terry did not argue, he really was not well, the man needed more rest, more fluids, and someone to care for him. I got a basin washcloth and soap and got set up to wipe the man down. I removed his top leaving him his underwear.
"Sorry to be a bother Tom but I feel so sticky, must be from sweating, one minute I am freezing cold then the next sweating like my body is on fire."
"Terry you are no bother I like taking care of you, looks like you need someone to take care of you."
Terry drank up the attention, you could tell he loved to be touched, caressed, any kind of kindness. I wiped the man down head to toe, and no I did not wash his privates Terry was not a guy that you washed his cock or balls. I got the bed changed and Terry all settled in gave him a clean tee and boxers to wear to bed, gave him his pills, tucked him in he would be out for at least three more hours.
I got into the work I needed to get done, I took out something for dinner, Terry at some point would want to eat a full meal. I got through the mountain of work that had piled up, I got dinner in the oven we would have roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed carrots, and apple crumble for desert. The way to a man's, you all know the rest of that one, I heard Terry rustling around in his room, his room did I really just think that. Terry flushed and headed into the kitchen, he looked a little better, but you could still see the man was not well.
"Tom I should probably head home, I have overstayed my welcome in your beautiful home here I am sure, not sure what you are cooking but does that smell good."
"You Sir are not going anywhere anytime soon, you are my guest and my patient so till I discharge you, you are not going anywhere."
"Okay Tom thank you so much for this, I feel like such a burden to you, but I am pretty sure I would not be feeling this good without your good food and care."
"You my friend are welcome, I like taking care of you, your one of my best patients."
"Your Temperature is almost normal, very close, are you hungry Terry, I hope so cause I cooked enough food for a small army."
"Tom I am so hungry I could eat almost anything right now."
I got the table set while Terry showered brushed his teeth, made himself presentable, I gave him some clean sweats a clean tee some socks to keep his feet warm and a pair of underwear. The man looked so sexy cleaned up, I wanted to trim his beard, pluck his eyebrows a bit. I got dinner on the table while he cleaned up. Terry came out a new man, even saying he felt better after a shower, he sure looked better, healthier, I was hoping he would take more time to get better so I could keep him here longer.
Terry and I had dinner, that man could eat let me tell you, we would have just enough for lunch tomorrow, once the kitchen was cleaned up Terry and I changed his bed, then sat and were about to watch some tv. We ended up talking instead, Terry was from a small town, he had moved to the city for work, hoping to meet someone to eventually marry, settle down with.
Terry said he met a few people but no connection, they all wanted something, be it money, drugs, alcohol or a free ride, he just gave up the whole dating scene. Terry kept to himself, the only person he interacted with was a guy who bought him coffee in a neighborhood coffee shop, the guy insisting on buying him coffee every single day.
