BRYAN'S POV

The next two days Anne kept waking up and sleeping only, she didnt eat much, didnt talk much , she treated me like a complete stranger, and I couldnt help but wish she would regain her memory very quickly. She always complained of serious head pains and they kept giving her sedatives and pain killers.

Her face was pale and she kept wincing in her sleep, I knew she was suffering so much pain and I couldnt take it, it hurts me that theres nothing I can do to ease down the pain she has been feeling, I sat down gently beside her, staring at her pale face, she was so beautiful, even in this situation, I couldnt help but think of how attractive and sexy her body was on the night we made out, how soft her touch was.

Damn! How the hell did we get here?

All I wanted right now was for us to be curdled naked on a soft bed after a whole night of sex, free of worries, I want to keep her to myself, I dont want to take her to john and I dont want to take her back home, I want her to be with me.

Shit! I have fallen really hard for this girl!

Frustrated, I stood up quickly moving to the window side, I ran a hand over my hair, the quick gesture made Anne stir, I looked back and saw her right hand on her fore head, she was wincing again. Her eyes few open and they met mine almost immediately.

"Bryan?" it was the first time she called my name since the accident, her face looked confused.

"Yes Anne, its me Bryan am here" I said rushing back to the bed and taking her free hand on mine. She looked around like its her fist time seeing the room

"What am I doing here? What happened Bryan? Are we in Canada already?!"

"You remember?!!" I exclaimed, happiness starting to build inside of me

"I dont know" she rubbed her head, "I remember you kidnapping me, and umm we went to the airport, we couldnt get a flight, umm.." she kept rubbing her head "we then lodged at an hotel, we kissed, went out for dinner and we had sex together.." she flushed, ummmm thats all I can remember Bryan, why am I in a hospital?"

I smiled broadly, I couldnt contain my excitement.

"Its alright, its alright, take it easy dear, dont rush yourself am sure you will remember soon" she brought her hand down, still looking confused but color started returning to her face.

"Am hungry" she said with a faint smile and I knew she was getting a bit better

"Hold on I will ask the nurse to get you something to eat" and I hurried out

I came back and few minutes later a nurse came in with a tray of rice in hand, she placed it on the bed and I helped Anne sit up.

She ate slowly. She was about to take the last spoon of rice when she winced in pain again and her hand flew to her head.

"Are you okay?"I asked, getting worried.

"I keep getting flashes and visions of me running did I run away Bryan?"

I hesitated not knowing if I should tell her yet. I figured it might help her gain the rest of her memory so I told her

"Yes you did, I found you, we had a ...um... Little talk and you ran off again and thats how you got into an accident" I shifted uncomfortably feeling guilty.

***********

ANNE'S POV

Thats when it hit me! I suddenly remembered everything, me leaving the hotel very early, how Bryan found me, our conversation before I ran out and how I was hit.

Fresh anger began to build up inside me, but I couldnt talk as my head was hurting too much. I shifted the plate away and bent my head down to my kneels and rested them on my two hands.

"Anne is your head hurting again? Should I call the doctor?"

I waved my hand at him as the pain subsided slowly.

Knowing I couldnt eat again I dropped the plate on top of the side table and faced Bryan

"Are you sure you are okay?"he asked

"Why are you here? Am not going to Canada with you Bryan, you should have just left me to die! I would prefer that!!!" I removed the drip attached to my hand forcefully that it made me bleed, I started to get up, scanning the room for a way to escape.

"What the hell are you doing?" he jumped trying to hold me, "Look you are bleeding" he caught my hand as I stood up.

"Let go of me! I wont go with you" I started to feel so weak as I stood, my legs couldnt hold me up any longer and I fell back to the bed. Cursing, I jerked my bleeding hand out of his, as the pain shoot up through my veins.

"Anne calm down please, you havent fully recovered.."

"Ohh says who? Mr. caring doctor, am surprised you havent tied my legs and hands and taken me straight to Canada already, I was so stupid to think I could trust you, you must be so happy, your planned turned out well! To use me and dump me with Williams" I couldnt stop myself from talking, it just kept pouring out.

"Stop! Stop it please! Dont talk like that, Im not taking you to Canada anymore, trust me" that caught my attention and I turned my whole body facing him, trying to hold back tears "I noticed some things in the past few days and am sure hes been lying to me, Im not going to take you there until I confirm everything, he is coming here in a few days, we will have to leave here before then and damn it Anne! I didn't use you" his hand went gently up my arm and back sending a tiny shiver down my spine " I wanted you, I still want you, I care about you Anne and I dont want to leave you"

I caught the emotion in his voice and his eyes turned deep looking so affectionate, I dont know if I can trust him, I dont know if he is being sincere. I opened my mouth to respond to him but he held out his fore finger to my lips

"shhh, save your strength dear, I want you to rest, we will talk later, like I said am not taking you there so please relax, I will go get the nurse to attend to your hand" he laid the bed and made me lie down, then left the room.

BRYAN'S POV

Hoping she could rest a bit, I went out to look for the nurse attending to her, I couldnt find the nurse anywhere so I strolled down to the hospital reception to ask for her, just as I was reaching the counter I saw two familiar figure ,talking to the receptionist and asking for some information, not sure of who they were I continued walking down and thats when one of them turned.

It was john! I halted.

How the hell did he find us here?!

Next to him was the short round man, they smiled at the receptionist and said some things I couldnt hear then turned and headed to the direction of Anne's room!
