Between The Two

Chapter 6

ANDREA'S POV

          The beeping of a heartbeat monitor and the irritating smell of a hospital is what I wake up to.

      My head is banging loudly. I groan as I get up.

    'How did I get here?'

  Just as I try to sit up, a nurse walks into the room.

    "Ohh you're awake, that's good". She walks over to me them starts adjusting things and taking notes.

    "I'm... I...am..okay?" I sound so drunk. My head is aching.

   "Don't worry miss, you and the little one are okay". The nurse says reassuring me.

    "Little one?"

"You're unborn child?" She says more like a question.

    Then I suddenly remember why I'm here, the baby. My head stops hurting.

  "Ohh yeah" I put my hand on my belly and chuckle awkwardly.

   She flashes me a professional smile.

  "By the way, you have someone here for you" the nurse says before leaving the room.

   I have someone here for me? Who could that possibly be? Maybe it's Charlie.

  I couldn't have been more wrong.

   A stranger walks into the room. He's ..... stunning.

  Personally, I would never compliment a person,ever. It hurts my ego. But this man is beautiful.

   This stranger standing in front of me seems to be at least six foot two. His black hair slicked back in a messy way, hypnotizing blue eyes that look tired.

    He's in a business suit, looks like he just got of work because his shirt is unbuttoned a few.

     He's truly ..... breathtaking, but I don't know him. I think I'll remember a face like this if I had seen it before.

    He walks up to me and sits down on a stool by the bed I'm on.

     "Are you okay?" His question drags me out of my reverie.

   I don't even answer, just look away with my face hot.

     'Why am I acting like a teenager?'

  I look back at him after a few seconds.

    We make eye contact for a moment and he chuckles.

     'ohh God is this man real? How can he be this blessed? He has dimples for Christ sake!!!'

    "I'm sorry do I know you?" I can't help but ask.

    "Ohh no you don't. For now, who you know me as is someone who almost ran you over with a car". His deep voiced words sink in.

    My eye widens as I look at him.

   "It was you in the car?!!" I accidentally yell.

   "Yes it was". He looks very amused, then his expression changes to one that looks like worry.

    "How's the child?".

  Once again, I'm caught off guard by this question.

    "How did you know?"

"They let me look through your file by your bed side earlier. You didn't want anyone knowing about it? I apologize". Even his English is beautiful.

    "Ohh it's fine, it's not your fault". I chuckle dryly.
