New York city, 9:17 am.

  The next morning Damien rush to the hospital after Sarah recommended for him to go and take a shower and put new clothe on at the hotel. He did just that and now it was time for him to see Emma again. As he walked through the double doors of the hospital with a bouquet of red fresh roses and beautiful yellow sunflowers a smile and the thought of Emma waking up any time now was the motivation he needed to keep on going.

He got to Emma's room and slowly creek the door open but he stopped on his tracks when he saw a male figure sitting down beside her. He slams the door open and walks up to whoever is it sitting next to Emma.

"Who are you and who told you you could come and visit my fiance." Damien demands to know.

The guy stands up slowly and looks at Damien directly to the eyes. He is the same height as Damien but his body shape made him seemed like he could collapsed any second. His hair is a light shade of brown which stood up like spikes all over the place. His eyes were  light green and his skin had a pale tone going on.

"Sorry I'm Terrence Hillson, nice to meet you." The guy says offering a handshake to Damien which he ignored completely.

"Who gave you permission to come in here?" He asks not even telling Terrence his name.

"I come here two times a week to read to the patients in a coma. I volunteer because I feel like, they can hear me and keeps them alive somehow." He explains.

Damien was mad that somebody else was seeing Emma. A spark of jealousy light up inside of him at the thought of him being the first face she sees when her eyes open.   He tried to calm down because he didn't want to be seen so possessive over her. Somehow it was a good idea to have someone read to her but what bother him is the fact that it was a man.

"Umm I'm just going to leave. I was done after all." Terrence says awkwardly. "Goodbye Emma, see you Friday."

He looks at Damien one more time and goes out the door. Damien sighs and shakes his head walking towards the little table beside Emma and replacing the old flowers with the new ones. He noticed that someone else had brought her flowers too and the first face that pop into his mind was the guy he just met.

"Who's this want to be? Huh?" He says irritated under his breath.

"I know you're probably so bored of him already right Emma?"

"I mean only a looser would be reading books so early in the morning." He kept on rambling.

"Sir? Are you okay?" Sarah comes inside the room. He didn't notice because he was so concentrated in putting the flowers in place and rambling about Terrence.

"Huh?" He looks at Sarah and blinks rapidly. "Yea Yes I'm fine."

"Oh okay well I just came by to bring in your coffee." She walks up to him and extends her hand with the coffee towards him. He takes it and takes a sip.

"Thanks. I needed it that." He says coldly.

"I saw someone coming out of the room a few minutes ago. Who was that?"

"Some dude that comes in and read to Emma two times a week." He sits down on the couch and looks out the window. "I need you to look into him and bring me information about him. I want to see who this book worm actually is if he wants to continue to read to my fiancee."

"On it , sir." Sarah says and walks out the room.

Afternoon.

"I'm leaving now baby. I have to fly back to Los Angeles and get to work but I promise I'll be back soon." He says to Emma and gives her a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you." He whispered.

Back at Los Angeles the next morning Damien goes off to work. As he walks up to his office he notices Sarah pacing Back and forth in front of his office. "Sir I told her to wait for you out here but she insisted in coming inside.."

By that statement he already knew who it was behind the door. "It's okay Sarah. Breathe."

Sarah breathes in relief and slumps back in her chair. "By the way sir, here's the information you needed on Terrence Hillson." She hands him a folder with some papers inside and he thanks her going inside his office.

A lady with a red dress and long black hair sits on his chair looking at him straight to his eyes.

"You're back honey." She says clicking her tongue.

"Chloe.."  he says rolling his eyes.

"The one and only."
