The next morning, I was released from the hospital. Mr. Williams had the driver bring me a set of clothes to change into. After changing, I walked out to the nurses’ desk to get my release papers. Dr. Johnson saw me as I walked towards and smiled.
“How are you feeling this morning, Kelsey?”
“Great. I just can’t wait to get home.”
He handed me my papers. “Since we already when over these, I just need to you sign this extra copy.”
After I signed it, I looked up at him to see he was already staring at me. I felt my cheeks start to redden, so I quickly looked away.
‘So, I should go now.”
He shook his head and went back into doctor mode. “The hospital will call you in a few days to schedule a check up on your ribs. If anything is uncomfortable, or hurts, my number is on the last sheet.”
I put the papers into my purse and thanked him. The driver had been waiting a while, and I just wanted to get home and take a shower.
Walking outside, I was much colder then I thought it would be. Fall was coming a lot faster this year. As I followed the driver I looked up to notice the vehicle he was walking towards.
A limo.
He opened the door for me and I hurried in, hoping to warm up. I heard him open up his door and close up, starting up the car. “Do you need my address?”
“No, Miss. Mr. Matthews got it from the hospital.”
“Oh.” I sat back and relaxed as we drove through the city. Watching out the window, I couldn’t help but laugh when I looked back on this past week. I wonder if Paul didn’t dump me that night, or if he waited another day or week, how different things would be.
I decided to double check over the paperwork that the doctor gave to me. After I read through it, I looked down at the bottom of the last page.
‘Call me anytime - Alex J.’
I had to double check what I read. Dr. Johnson, I mean Alex, had given me his number, and asked me to call him. I blushed, even though he wasn’t near to see me.
Maybe my luck after Paul was looking up.
When we arrived at my apartment, I opened the door and got out before the driver could walk around. “Do you need any help to your apartment?”
“No thanks, I’ll be fine . Thank you for the ride. And Can you thank Mr. Matthews as well.”
“Will do, Miss Andersen.” I walked to my apartment door and turned and waved to the driver, whose name I never learned, before I entered. Walking to my room, I saw the bed and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.

I woke up a couple hours later, and stretched. I glanced over at my clock and saw that it was after five in the afternoon. I decided it was probably a good idea to take a shower.
I walked into the bathroom, stripping off my clothes. I turned on the water, and once it was at the right temperature, climbed in. The warm water against my skin felt amazing. It had been almost a week since I had been able to take a shower. After I washed my hair, and cleaned my self off, I jumped out of the shower, dried off, and put my bathrobe on. I walked out of the bathroom to head back to my bedroom when I heard a noise come from the living room. I tightened my grip on my robe and slowly walked out. I peeked around the corner and didn’t see anything. I was about to turn around when I heard someone speak.
“You know its very dangerous to leave your spare key under your welcome mat.”
I squealed, and turned around. “What the hell are you doing in my apartment?”
The intruder ignored my question and turned to walk over and sit on my couch. As he sat, he loosened his tie and relaxed. “Nice place you have here, even thou there is little to no security.”
As he sat, I took a good look at him. He was wearing a suit that clung to him perfectly. He wasn’t too muscular, but he had just the right amount. He pushed a hand through his darker blonde hair. He had what looked like a couple days worth of stubble on his face. He noticed me staring at him, and smirked.
“Like what you see?”
I rolled my eyes and walked over the sit on the love seat across from him. “Whatever. What the hell are you doing in my apartment, and who are you?”
He smirked and put his hands behind his head. “I’m Colton Matthews and I’m here to make a deal with you.”
