In Love With A Stranger

Chapter ~ 2

Bethany's POV

I wake up to the sound of people talking and slowly sit straight. My back really hurts a lot and I look down and see a cast on my right leg. Yeah, well I passed out right when the car collided with a truck and that was what I can remember as for now. My father walks to me and asks if I'm okay. I just simply nod my head and fiddle with my fingers.

" How is Charlotte? Is she okay?"

" Yes she is fine.. she has got few bruises and a sprained arm, I'm pretty sure she'll be fine."

" Okay"

My father turned around and continued talking to the doctor and few nurses. I just lay down sighing out. I hate this hospital room and this monitor sound and other kinds of stuff. I just want to get out, but looks like I'm gonna have stayed here for a couple of days, say one or two. I reach out to take my phone which is on the nearby table. Quickly a nurse comes and helps me by giving me my phone. I turn to my other side to see a flower bouquet and a basket with food and stuff.

" Umm excuse me... Did my father get me these? "

Well, I know my Dad. He is not that type of man to get you the get-well-soon cards or something like that. I mean really the last time we had a good conversation was about two ago or something. since then he has become a workaholic. 

" No, it wasn't your father, it is from your friend who brought you here. and he left right after when your father arrived."  

" How long I have been staying here in this hospital?" 

" For about 8 hours!"

I nod at her response and she walks out. I take the basket and looked into it. There were few chocolates and some cookies and there was this card. I opened the card and the first thing that caught my eyes was the scribbled letters. This guy actually does have weirdly good-looking handwriting.  The card read 

" Get well soon.... xoxo" 

I smile and keep the things aside and lay straight on my back. My body is aching and I'm so tired. I want to sleep so badly but I couldn't. I just stare at the ceiling and force myself to sleep. I know my dad is gonna stay here. so without any further delay, I shut my eyes closed and forced to sleep. 

NEXT DAY

I wake up and stretch my arms and open my eyes. I'm feeling much better than yesterday, it's because I can go home today.  I sit straight and do my hair. I heard familiar voices and look up to see Andrea and Randy walking in. Right behind them, there was another guy, quite tall and lean. He walked in and I couldn't help but stare at him in awe. He really looks good. I mean I don't sexualize men in any way, but this guy is too beautiful to take my eyes away from. The first thing someone could get attracted to instantly is with a person's eye, and this guy has big beautiful eyes which is ravishing. My thoughts get interrupted when Andrea takes her seat next to me. 

" How are you feeling Bethany.?"

" Yeah, I'm fine!" 

Then I look at this new guy. I suppose he's the one who brought us here!.

" This is Michael, he was the one who helped you all the way out.." 

Randy introduces him and he reaches out to shake my hand. I take his hand and he flashes a warm smile. Gosh! He has the most beautiful smile. 

" Hi Michael, I'm Bethany, Thank you for your huge favor. That really means a lot."

" Anytime...and hope you're feeling better.?"

" Yes, I'm doing better.."

He smiles and walked back talking something to Randy. I try not to look at him intently. I feel like I'm attracted to him. Andrea keeps talking to me but, I barely paid attention to what she's talking about. Michael then walks back to me again.

" It was nice meeting you Bethany, Take care!"

With that said, he walked out of the room. Randy too walked out leaving us girls alone.

" Michael... That name suits him very well, doesn't it?"

Andrea turned to me and chuckled. 

" Yeah, he looks good!"

" Wasn't it so thoughtful of him to help us?"

" What are you about Bethany, I mean any right-minded person who was at that place would've helped you!"

I had no idea what I was saying to her. But, there was only one thing that was going on my mind. When will I see Michael again? I was in my own thoughts and didn't realize Andrea was talking to me.

" Hello, earth to Bethany!!! Are you even paying attention???"

" Yeah, it's just  that I couldn't stop thinking about him"

" About that guy?  Have you seen him like for about what one minute? "

" Yes, but it was like Magic... He was so magical!"

Andrea got annoyed and looked at me. 

" Okay stop it, Bethany...You barely know this guy. you're just attracted to him. "

" Yeah, whatever."

She rolled her eyes at me and continued looking through her phone. I couldn't help but think about Michael. He is so dreamy.!

Will I meet him again?
