Like a Dream

The Coffee Break

As soon as I opened the door He was standing in front of me. He was alive. I was so relieved. 

"you are alive. Thank god!!"

I was on the verge of crying now, not that am relieved to see him all right but still I was unable to wrap my head around the scene which just played in front of me. I hurried towards him,

"Hey gorgeous", he says

"ETHAN are you ok?" I yell back, realizing that it was too loud. He was standing just  a few inches away from me, I asked him again.

"How do you feel?", "Should I call an ambulance?", "you were just hit by a car", "oh god, I don't even know what that car looked like, what will I tell the police?" I was blabbering too much. 

He hugged me and whispered

"Hey hey! relax. calm down, I am fine..", "It was a minor accident. I am fine now"

I was sobbing a little, am sure I just had a minor heart attack.

"But you were bleeding"      

He laughs out and says "Na It was nothing, relax Sarah "

"You are so careless. You could have died there" I scolded him.

"You are right Sarah. I think I am dead", "In fact I must be in heaven right now"

"Where else would u see such a beautiful angel," he said,  jokingly to me.

"Of course Ethan", I said rolling my eyes at him, "I think you hit your head pretty bad" 

"You should get it checked for brain damage," I said returning the sarcasm but was really happy to see that he was fine and his flirting made it easier to believe.

As I left his embrace I looked at him, he was bleeding a little and had a few cuts on his arm and knees.

"We should go to the hospital Ethan, you should see a doctor," I told him.

"No am fine seriously, I'll clean up and I'll be okay. If I feel weird I'll see a doctor I promise" he said.

I cringed at the thought of him being hurt and he was being too stubborn about seeing a doctor. What if he had a concussion but he wouldn't listen to me. Good lord what should I do now?

While I was arguing with him about seeing a doctor, he stopped me and said, " tell me one thing?"

"What, "I said in frustration.

He cocked his eyebrow and grinned at me "are you stalking me pretty lady or you have a habit of eyeing strangers from your balcony" he said to me.

I am worried sick about him and he is joking with me, his nose was still bleeding a little and I could see a bruise forming there. 

I squeezed my eyes in frustration and said to him "yes am stalking you. And you know what I like the most?? Bruises and cuts"

He chuckled and replied" I like you, girl! The entire tough girl thing you give me. I must say it's hot as hell"
