Affair with a Married Man

Chapter 21

I wake up in the hospital. I look around the room as my vision is still burry and I see someone siting beside me asleep but I can't make out their face. I make out their figure and I tell they are a man by the way his cologne filled the air. It was intoxicating.

I feel my head to feel it wrapped up as I lay back in bed vision still burry. I blink a few times gaining my vision back. I don't even know how long I have been in here.

I look over to see the man sleeping in the chair beside me is Reese. He looked exhausted, scared, and like he hasn't slept in days until now. He looks terrible.

I look down to see his hand laying on top of mines. I smile as I move my hand slowly from under his and places it on top of his and grips his hand softly. I lay in the bed looking up at the ceiling.

Nathan could of killed me last night. He didn't come to my rescue or anything. He doesn't care. Why was he even trying to talk to me. I don't understand at all. Wasted my time for what.

I am brought out of my thoughts by Reese squeezing my hand and looking at me. I look over at him as he gives me a sigh of relieve and hugs me tight.

"OMG I thought I lost you. Look Samantha I really care for you and I would hate for something to happen to you."

I look at him. This is crazy. I can't believe he really feels that way about me. He brought me out my thoughts once again.

"Nathan tried to come see you."

His name just sucked all the color from my body. He was going to let me die. He didn't come running to the back asking if I were ok or anything.

Reese shakes me from my thoughts.

"Sweetheart you ok. You look as if you done seen a ghost."

"I...I...I am fine."

He looks at me uneasy knowing that I am lying.

I change up the subject.

"How long have I been here."

He leans back in the seat and thinks.

"You lost so much blood by the time I made it in that when we got here they took you into surgery to fix the gash in the back of your head. I thought we were going to lose you by all the blood you lost. You have been in and out of sleep for the past two days."

How don't I remember being in and out of sleep. I guess they drugged me up so I wouldn't feel the pain.

I look at Reese," When did he try to come."

"Like yesterday if I am correct."

"What did you say to him."

"I kicked him out. He tried to come see you so bad."

I sightly lay up and looks at Reese.

"Why are you here.why aren't you home with your wife and daughter instead of being here with me."

He looks at me as he leans up,"I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with you. I had to make sure I didn't lose you. Sam I really care for you and if I lost you I don't know what would of happen-"

He is cut off by someone opening the door. I look up to see its Abby and my parents. I haven't talked to her since that argument we had a little while back and I haven't seen my parents since I left Mississippi. Yeah I talked on the phone with them but haven't seen them in a while.

Abby rushes over to me crying and hugging me tight. "I'm sorry I blew you off and didn't text or call you back. I didn't think the call I would be getting was a one that you almost died."
