He saluted her, smiling "Yes Ma'am!", and walked out of the room. He walked to the reception area and spoke to the women behind the counter, "Can I use the phone please, I need to inform my friend that my stay has been delayed." She thought for a while and nodded, pointing at the phone and got back to reading her book.
He called up his roommate at the college hostel and waited for him to get on the phone. "Hey man. Sorry couldn't call earlier. Kinda had to get an operation done and now there is something wrong so I gotta stay for a couple of days." He paused as he heard him freak out, "Yeah, can you inform the coach. I might not be able to play for a while after this thing... yeah well, he might put you on the team finally so..." He smiled as Richard whined about him not liking it being picked in his place. "So listen...", he said glancing at the receptionist to see if she was listening, "Can you bring me a deck of cards? Thats cool. Man I wish I could have some Chinese right about now but they don't have any in the hospital. I could eat enough for two people right now. " He heard a roaring laughter coming from the other end. Richard was clever. He had understood the hint Shane had given him. He promised to come over as soon as he could.
Shane put down the phone and turned to the receptionist again, "Thank you very much. My friend Richard would be coming to see me in sometime. I will be either in my room or Karina's room." She nodded and got back to what she had been doing. He turned around and started walking towards Karina's room.

Jason got back from rounds and decided to check in on Karina and Shane one last time. He visited Shane's room first... Shane wasn't there. He stopped by Karina's room, and found both of them, talking and laughing. He smiled, kind of glad they were hitting it off... but at the same time, he wondered how he would take it if they wound up becoming more than friends.
He popped his head into the room and said, "They're letting me go home finally. When I get back tomorrow I want both of you to be alive. Oh, and just press the call button if you need anything. I've informed the nursing staff that there's a wealthy heiress who might be donating money to the hospital staying in this room, so they'll give your needs the highest possible priority." He winked, then left so they could continue their conversation.

Katrina was laughing at a joke Shane had made when Jason stopped in. "Cool. I'll be here tomorrow, though. No worries as long as Shane doesn't do some major brain damage to me with all his jokes and stories." She sent the young man a playful smirk, and waved goodbye to Jason. "Thanks. I'll see you in the morning."
After he left, she turned back to Shane. "So when is our entertainment and dinner supposed to arrive?" She was enjoying herself, and was glad he had chosen her for a play-date in the hospital. Katrina was wondering what would happen if they became more than friends... Her current boyfriend wasn't exactly the best for her at the moment... She mentally shrugged, and decided to wait it out and see.

He went back to Karina's room and found her waiting. He smiled as he entered the room and sat down again, waiting. He answered her question by getting up and bowing in front of her slightly, "Well your entertainment is standing before you and the dinner should arrive any minute now."
After a while the phone in her room rang. He smiled and got up, "Thats probably dinner...", he said and picked up the phone. It was the receptionist calling him to meet his friend who was waiting at the reception. "I will be back...", he told her and went back to meet Richard. Within a few minutes he was there and got "a bag of clothes" from his friend. It was something the receptionist would not expect to be of any suspicion. He thanked Richard and refused to be introduced to "the lucky gal" as he put it to him the five-six times he asked him during the short meeting.
Very soon though Shane was back in Karina's room and closed the door behind him. He didn't expect them to be disturbed with Dr. York gone but he closed it just to so the smell wouldn't escape into the corridor. He turned to face Karina and smiled and put the bag down on the table in front of it and started taking out the packed dinner. There was quite a big variety of stuff, the popular stuff. He would have to treat Richard properly for this later. "Sorry for the crappy presentation but its what we got. At the food's still hot so yeah...", he shrugged hoping she wouldn't mind too much.

Karina smiled when he bowed, and watched him leave and come back with the Chinese. "I don't know how you managed to do this, but I appreciate it immensely." As the food was unpacked, she wondered why Shane had taken a sudden interest in her, though she shrugged it off. A lot of guys had shown interest in her, especially once she came back from the island.
"Well, if it's still hot, then let's dig in before it cools off! You go first, I want to see what all's here." She sat up a bit better in bed, fixing the giant pillow behind her back.

Shane nodded and picked up the cardboard box with some noodles and a pair of chopsticks. As he did so he looked up and saw Karina sit up on the bed. He put his food down on the table and then got up to move the table closer to Karina's bed. He smiled and picked up his food again, "Well there is some noodles, fried rice, dumplings and...", he paused and looked up at her, "...chopsticks. You know how to use chopsticks, or should I teach you?"
She seemed much more lively and cheerful now than when he had met her first. He was glad to have barged into her room like he did or he would never met her. It would be hard for a person to look through the cuts and bruises and the bandages that hid her beauty but he had somehow done it, to see the hidden beauty. She seemed a generally nice person too having been tolerating his questions about her relationships and other personal things politely.

"Chopsticks? Well... I've never used them, but if you wouldn't mind teaching me..." She reached for a set, and pulled them apart, but couldn't get them to stay in her hand. Karina's dad had tried showing her how when she was little, but the concept never stuck. "As far as the food goes, I'll have whatever. I'm not exactly in a position to get my own stuff, ya know?" She wasn't really all that comical, but she figured she could try it. Having Shane here at the hospital with her was really great. He wouldn't be staying as long as she, but maybe once she got out they could stay friends, and she could see some of his basketball games.

He smiled and nodded, getting up from his chair and walked over to Karina, sitting down close, next to her. Putting one arm around her back to hold her fingers and the other around her other side, taking hold of the sticks and placing them in her fingers, he used his own fingers to make her hold them properly.
Once he was done, he smiled to himself when he realized he had trapped her in a kind of an embrace for the side with both his arms around her. He didn't let go as he could smell her natural scent now, being so near her. "See, thats how you do it...", he said simply.

Karina blushed as Shane wrapped his arms casually around her, helping her with the chopsticks. "Oh... That's simple enough. But can I use them right? That's the main problem, I think." She felt oddly at ease in this position, but she couldn't help feeling a rush of...something. She sat still a moment, listening to the rythmic breathing of the young man next to her.

He maintained his position as she didn't seem to mind or at least didn't move to show her discomfort. "Ok, keep holding them like that and watch how I do it...", he said and started moving he hand with his. He picked up one of the boxes with his other hand to bring it closer to her so he could reach the food with his hand on hers. He went slowly and rolled up a good amount of noodles on the chopsticks and brought it forward towards her mouth. "Open up...", he said grinning now wondering how odd it must feel to her seeing him almost feeding him by hand. He noticed she had goosebumps on her neck and smiled.

Karina laughed, but did as he said and opened her mouth, getting a mouthful of noodles. She turned to Shane after swallowing, smiling a bit. "Okay, my turn now. I just hope I don't dump it on myself."
She was having a bit of difficulty keeping the chopsticks in place, but eventually she got a small pile of noodles to stay in one spot and picked them up, albeit messily, and turned to Shane, urging him to open his mouth. "Hurry, before they drop and make a mess." Karina was enjoying herself now, and was very glad the two of them had met, even though she hadn't felt this way towards a guy for a while, and her ex (well, she officially broke up with him while in the hospital, unknown to Seth.) was no exception.
((was there a discussion about karina's boyfriend not making it through the crash? and i don't want to confuse this seth from karina's seth, though i can't for the life of me remember if that's what her guy's name was or not.))

(( I have no clue about this. I don't think I remember reading about it here at least. Who are the two Seths? Sorry, a bit clueless here... ))
Shane smiled while staying in the same embracing position but letting her control the chopsticks. He put his hand down and put it on the bed behind her. He smiled and closed his mouth down on the noodles as they began to slip out of the chopsticks. "He ate through the noodles and warned her, "Don't get a stain on your clothes now. It will be pretty hard to explain to the nurse how you got it."
He got up from next to her, reluctant to do so which was evident by his body language. He just wondered what Karina would think if she knew how he had been enjoying sitting so close to her. Or did she already knew? She seemed to be enjoying herself and so was he, so he just let it be for the time being.

((there's a doc or someone like that in this rp, and i think i named karina's now-ex seth in the island. i might change his name to matt or something, though, to keep the confusion down.))
Karina secretly didn't want Shane to move, but she figured it might be best since they were new friends. She blushed when he seemed reluctant to move back to the chair, but turned her face back to the noodles, trying to hide it. "Yeah, it wouldn't be good, would it? She might get jealous that I'm getting better food than her." She laughed, but kept eating. "How long do you think you'll be able to stay before you're found entertaining a car crash victim while you yourself have your own problems to deal with?"
The way the two of them got along so well was almost confusing to Karina, but she welcomed the new feelings. She hadn't been this happy with a guy for a while, and she was enjoying herself immensely with Shane here to make her laugh. Her thoughts strayed to what might happen when he was released, whether she would still see him, but she figured to let the future run its course, wherever that may take them, er, her.

He saw in front of her and began eating his noodles, watching Karina as if she would manage on her own. Of course, he secretly wished she wouldn't and ask him for help so he might get a reason to sit near her again. He stopped eating as she asked about his injury. "Well, the problems is supposed to be fixed now so I wouldn't I have any problems right now... except maybe to keep coming up with new way to keep you entertained." He added grinning at her.
The mention also reminded him of all the problems he was going to have next semester. His cheerful face dimmed a bit at the thought. He was supposed to play this season and there were rumors flying around that scouts from NBA and state teams were going to watch some of the games. Of course he had another year at college so he would have another chance but this was a missed opportunity as he wouldn't be allowed to play for most of this season. He would have to talk to the coach about letting him play in the later games and maybe the playoffs if the college team could make it there.
Then there was the matter of paying for this operation which would effectively leave him completely broke for the semester, not to mention the meds he would be required to buy and take for the next couple of months he guessed. He didn't realize he was now poking his chopsticks into the box and had stopped eating, staring blankly at Karina thinking about all this..

Karina had looked down to focus on the chopsticks while Shane talked, but at his sudden silence, she looked up to find his face a little down, and his attention elsewhere. "Shane? Are you okay?" She didn't know what was wrong, whether he was in pain, or his thoughts had just strayed to something else.
While waiting for him to answer, she tried to take another bite, but the noodles refused to stay on the chopsticks, and she was having a slightly difficult, but fun time trying to eat her Chinese.
