Chapter 4-Discovery

Kaylee's POV

I woke up around 3 am when Millie came in to check on me.

"Hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Millie asked.

"Like someone beat the crap out of me. What time is it?" I asked.

"About 3 am." Millie replied.

"So did they end up taking my spleen?" I asked.

"Nope. Dr. Green said he found several bleeders but was able to seal them all up. He's going to see to it that you are put on paid leave for the next two months so that you don't lose any income but wants you to be on restrictions from lifting anything heavy. He said your ribs were broken about three fourths the way through so you should heal just fine so long as you take it easy." Millie informed me.

"Where's Boomer? What happened with Greg?" I asked.

"Boomer was exhausted so I sent him home to get a shower and some sleep. He looked like the walking dead when he came back. You'll have to ask him about what went down with Greg because I don't have any details on that other than he said he won't be hurting anyone else from now on." Millie said.

"I wonder if he got my car back?" Kaylee said drowsily. "Can I have some water? My mouth feels like it's coated in glue."

"Sure." Millie said as she got me a cup of water. She helped me take a sip and I licked my lips and then took another sip.

"Kaylee, can I ask you something personal?" She asked.

"Sure, Millie. What's on your mind?" I said.

"How do you feel about Boomer?" She asked.

"I just met him the day before yesterday so I barely know him but from what I've learned so far, I like him very much. I can't really explain what it is I am feeling when I am with him. He makes me feel safe and excited all at the same time. Why?" I said honestly.

"I may be out of line telling you this but I've known him for a long time and I think I know him pretty well. It's clearly written all over his face when he looks at you that he already cares for you and as much as I like you, I really don't want to see him hurt. He's already been through enough hard times in his life. If you care at all for him, please let him know. He deserves some happiness in his life and so do you, I think. You two would be perfect together." Millie said.

"Millie, do you believe in love at first sight?" I asked her.

"Yes. Yes, I do. Boomer's club brother, Hunter and his wife, Marley are the perfect example of that but I'll let you find out that story on your own. It's actually very heartwarming. They took one look at each other and just knew they were meant to be together. They've been together for about 4 or 5 years now and have the cutest little boy and are expecting a girl in a few months." Millie said.

"Well, I don't know yet how Boomer feels but the night he found me, I felt him touch my shoulder and I knew my rescuer was there and would not only help me but protect me from any more bad stuff. That's why I asked to speak to him that night. I could barely see him because my eyes were so swollen but the second he stepped into the room, I got this............warm, safe feeling all over my body. When he puts his arms around me, I feel like there is nothing in the world that can hurt me and it's a place I never want to leave. And when he kisses me, my toes curl and I get........well, never mind but let's just say I can't wait to get very, very familiar with him." I told her with a feeling of heat running up my throat to cover my cheeks.
