Accidentally In Love

Chapter 3

Adrian

We rushed out the car and saw a woman lying by the curb of the road. Her hair was sprawled all around her face and the dress she wore was hanging lose around her petite body, as though it was not hers.

"SHIT! IS SHE OK!?" Alex screamed as he ran out the car.

Yes Alex she's completely fine. I thought to myself. 

I kneeled beside her and turned her around. She was light as a feather. 

My breath got caught in my throat as I took in her features. She was.... beautiful.

As I moved the jet black hair covering her face, I noticed her skin was so smooth under my fingertips. Her long lashes were almost touching her cheeks and her pink plump lips were slightly parted, and I felt her breath on my thumb as I traced it. She was still breathing, thank God. Even with her forehead bleeding and a slight bruise appearing on her jaw she was still the most beautiful women I had ever set my eyes on.

"You gonna stare at her all day or are you gonna take her to the hospital? She needs a doctor." Zac knelt down beside me to check her. "She's still breathing."

"Yeah I know. And I wasn't staring." I told him in a cold voice.

I picked her up and put her in the back seat of my car. I lay her head on Alex's lap and the rest of her body on the seat and we drove off. I rang my personal family doctor to be ready when I got there.

We arrived at the hospital shortly after and my doctor took her into the room immediately.

********

The doctor came a few minutes later.

"She's fine, no need to worry. A few bruises on her body and the cut on her forehead needed a few stitches but other than that, nothing to major. You can meet her now if you would like." he gestured for us to go inside.

"Thank you" I replied monotonously.

When we stepped into the room, we saw her fragile body lay there on bed.  Her pale face was black and blue and the stitches on her forehead was covered with a bandage.  Her right hand had an IV line which was giving her iron and one was also inserted near her elbow, which was pumping blood into her. 

We waited for her to reign her consciousness. 

**********

It had been around 5 hours since we have been sat here and I was beginning to get angry. I had better things to do than sit here waiting for her to wake up. I had a business to run. And a girl to go home to.

"Guys I'm gonna go home. Ring me when she wakes up or whatever." I said as I rose and gathered my my jacket. No reply.

I turned around to see Alex in a headlock. I mentally rolled my eyes. Why am I friends with them again. 

"Guys! Hey! Stop!" I tried prying Zac's arms away from Alex who looked like he was about to pass out any minute now. 

As I was trying to stop Zac from committing murder, I saw someone move from the corner of my eyes. I looked at the bed and saw the women was now awake. Finally. I thought.

She rose to a sitting position and looked around. As her eyes came and settled on me, they widened slightly.  Yeah I had that effect on women. 

"Guys she's awake!" I whispered. 

We all turned our heads to the bed. 

Her dark tresses that covered her face were a mess. I slowly took a few steps forward and sat beside her on the bed. Even with her hair looking like a birds nest and her face looking like she had been punched several times, she still managed to somehow look...gorgeous.

"Are you blind?" I stated. 

"What my stupid friend here is trying to say is that he's very sorry for hitting you with his car. I and my brother Alex here apologise also. How are you feeling?" Zac stepped forwards and Alex followed. They both grabbed chairs and sat by the foot of the bed.

She didn't speak. Her eyes moved from me to Zac then to Alex and back. She did this several times. 

"Where do you live? Your not hurt that bad and the stitches will dissolve in a couple of days time. I'll drop you off if you want." I stared at her and she stared back. But still she didn't speak. A few seconds later she shook her head.

"No? Do you have someone to come and pick you up?" I frowned. 

Again she shook her head. 

Why wasn't she talking? I know I can seem as a frightening and intimidating man, but surly not that much right?

"Okay, well why don't you tell me your address so I can drop you off. Or even a phone number. Your boyfriend or parents perhaps?" I suggested. As soon as I said that, she shook her head violently and started hyperventilating. 

Zac moved me out the way and stared trying to calm her down. A few tensed moments later, she visibly relaxed and looked down at her hands. I noticed her skin was peeling off her fingernails, as though she had bit it a lot and her hands were very skinny. Too skinny. 

"Adrian I don't think she has anywhere to go. She looks homeless. I mean look at what she's wearing." Alex pointed at her dress, or lack of.  It looked like a few pieces of fabric stuck on her body here and there. "Why don't we take her to your place? Just for a few days until she can find her own place or something." 

"My house is not a homeless shelter Alex. I don't care if she has a place to be or not. I took her to the hospital and got her treated that's more than enough. What she does after being discharged is non of my concern." I told him in a cold voice. 

"Adrian stop being dick. Look at her. What if something like this happens again? Come on just for a few day please. I'll look for a place to stay for her in the meantime and a job too. Please, for me." Zac pleaded. 

I sighed. They knew would do anything for them. Even lay my life down.

"Fine! I'll bring my car to the front. bring her out when she's ready." I gave her one disgusted look and stormed out.
