I was still laying in bed getting rest over the weekend that was very much needed because Sebastian has been a big handful recently so my dad offered to take him, he also wanted to take him out fishing and who was I to say no? My dad was amazing and Sebastian loves his papa more than anything honestly the kid could go on all day about him but I love they have a great relationship. I also had to finish up some assignments for school and being I didn't have much left I just wanted to get it over with so I could rest some more, I turned over looking at the clock it was early only 7:30 so I figured since I couldn't sleep I'd just get it over with and when I woke up later it was 2:00.

I got in the shower then rummaged through my closet for my workout clothes so I could go for a run I put my headphones in and I was off , I was in the zone as I jogged along it was a good day out luckily not too hot only in the 80s surprising for Arizona actually. I was lost in the music and completely zoned out until I ran smack dab into someone and hit the ground hard, at first I just laid there stunned not knowing what to do or think then finally I mumbled "ow...." And some guy appeared over me looking very sorry.

"Oh my gosh.... I'm so sorry I-... I wasn't paying attention "

I still just laid there I couldn't move I felt like I hit a brick wall "holy.... What the what just happened?...."

"Are you okay? You hit the ground pretty hard "

"Uhhhh more like are you okay?"

He looked at me extremely confused "ummmm what? Of course I'm fine "

"Are you sure? I don't think it's normal to be made of bricks honey..."

He busted out laughing hard and I had to chuckle a little bit myself it was a good comeback after all.

"I'm limited edition sweetheart they don't make them like me no more" he said with a smile and I laughed

"One of a kind?"

"You got it. But really are you okay? I feel terrible "

"My ankle hurts but that's about it I think I just landed on it wrong and, let's just be even and say neither of us was paying attention?"

He smiled once more "okay deal you convinced me "

"I know.... "

"Oooooh very matter of fact huh? You're a good negotiator... Should take up sales"

"Ick no thank you.... I've already got my future planned out"

"Do you mind if I take a look" I shrugged my shoulders and he got down gently grabbing my ankle examining it "oh gosh..." He said "that's not good "

"What? I'm sure I just twisted it...."

He shook his head "no you did more than just sprain it my dear, you tore something too"

I gave him a funny look "how do you know? Are you a doctor?" He met my eyes then smirked and I about lost it especially after he said

"No. But.... That could always be arranged " I knew my cheeks got red as hell but we just laughed "but to be serious I'm a professional athlete so yeah I know a thing or two about injuries...."

I suddenly became flustered at the mention of him being a professional athlete, I have no idea who he is because I don't follow sports.

"Professional athlete huh? That must be kinda tough"

"Sometimes....you should have it checked out"

"Yeah. As soon as I get back home I will go in... And thank you "

He just stared at me and I didn't know what to say "as soon as you get home huh? And how far is home from here..."

"Only five miles..."

"And uh how are you going to get back?"

"Walk? How else?"

He shook his head "no you can't walk... You're going to do more damage if you push yourself "

I struggled getting up but finally I got up "I appreciate it but I think I'll be okay...."

He sighed shaking his head again "okay.... Suit yourself I was going to take you but if you think you can handle it"

"I don't need to be rescued... I will never depend on a man"

"There's nothing wrong with help especially with an injury ..."

"I'm not a helpless woman I'm very independent I've learned to just deal with things"

"Look that's very admirable but I'd feel better if you'd let me take you? I want to make sure you're okay I have a great doctor who can look at it.."

I stared him down I didn't want him thinking I was some helpless woman who can't do anything for herself but I guess I would be nice and let him take me.

"Okay. Okay. You're the expert here mister..... Superstar " he cracked a grin and chuckled "so fine I will let you take me if it will make you feel better "

"It would thank you and not expert just know a thing or two ...." This man was witty and had a good sense of humor "now... If you don't mind..." He said lifting me up bridal style I now felt embarrassed and flustered again I was close to a man I didn't even know, a professional athlete at that.... Why would someone like him be nice to a regular boring girl like me?

"Bridal style? Really? Don't you think we look ridiculous? And I'm too heavy for you to be carrying.... Why do you think I'm out running my fat ass needs to lose weight "

He chuckled " you're a fiesty one aren't you? And you're not heavy nor fat.... If anything you're fit you probably only weigh 160 I bench press way more than that... And so what if people think we look ridiculous? Let them stare and yes bridal style....I mean unless you'd rather me throw you over my shoulder and have your ass in my face?"

"Not really..."

"Okay then bridal style is it and maybe I'm practicing for the future? "

"You don't want to marry me...."

"Why not? You never know what can happen right?"

I said nothing more just rolled my eyes .
