Chapter 38- I'm Yours Baby Girl
I would have quietly exited the room without them seeing me but the problem was Luke choose that moment to turn to the door and damn did he look embarrassed.
He quickly pulled away from Bella and scratched the back of his neck looking everywhere but at me.
" Did I interrupt something?" I asked knowingly as I looked at them, Bella had her lower lip in between her teeth in embarrassment and I could see her cheek turn pink.
" Uhm, I've got to see my doctor, see you Bella, take care," Luke said in a rush, and before any of us could say a thing he rushed out of the room.
It was now time to tease the hell out of my best friend.
" Well, you know I didn't expect that, that you'd wake up and find love so quickly," I said to her with a cheeky smile.
" What are you talking about?" She asked looking down.
" Yeah, I'm going to wipe off the image of you kissing Luke,"
" Shut up," She grumbled and I chuckled.
" Bella's in love," I teased her as I went to sit beside her on the bed.
" Stop, I'm not in love," She said with a pout
" What about you? Aren't you in love with your Mr. handsome rich boss,?" She asked and that shut me up instantly.
Was I in love with Cole? We haven't really said that to each other, he just calls me my love but he hasn't really told me loves me.
Easy there Anna. I cautioned myself.
" See, you're thinking of him," Okay, I wasn't going to let her turn the tables on me.
" You aren't even out of the hospital bed and you're already kissing a hot guy, what would you do when you're discharged and can walk?" I said to her with a wink.
" Get out of my life,"
" Yeah, like you can live without me," I said to her with a smile before I hugged her, I was happy she was up and I was teasing her again.
" But do you like him?" I asked her, I knew she couldn't say no to handsome guys and Luke was quite pleasing to the eyes, I wanted to make sure she wasn't doing this because he saved her life.
" Yeah, he's kinda cute," She mumbled into my neck.
I removed my arms from her so I could look into her eyes.
" Kinda cute?" I asked with a raised brow and she tried to shrug but stopped because of the collar she still had around her neck.
" I hate this thing, when will they take it off?" She complained.
" It didn't seem like you had a problem with it when you were kissing Luke,"
" Can you just shut up already," She said with a glare and I couldn't help but laugh.
" I can't wait to be out of here,"
" The doctor said you'd have to be here for a week more to make sure you're stable enough to be discharged, you know you'll have to use a wheelchair until you can walk again," I said, she didn't like the news, I could tell from how her face became sad.
" Hey, don't be sad, all that matters to me is that you're alive and you survived that accident, I don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to you, you're here with me and that's all that matters," I said to her as I took her hand squeezing it in encouragement.
" Besides you remember you have to heal faster because you've got a Benz to drive,"
" That's motivating,"
" That's what it was bought for," I said with a laugh.
*******
" Why does he want to see me?" I asked my Mom, trying my best not to sound bored. That man was the last person I wanted to see.
" I don't know son, but your dad asked me to invite you over for dinner, he refused to tell me what the dinner is about, perhaps he thinks it's time for you both to make amends," She said and I could hear the hope in her voice.
I didn't want to crush her hope but I knew my dad was the type of man who never apologizes for anything, I know he'd rather cut his hand than accept he was wrong, that's why he asked my Mom to call me over rather than call me himself. He was too high and mighty to do that himself.
" I don't know Mom, but I'm very busy at work, but I'll see what I can do to make it," I said.
" I'll be so happy if you both just sort things out once and for all, trust me."
" I hope so too," But I know that's not happening with the type of man your husband is. I didn't dare say it to her though.
" Alright son, do take care, I can't wait to see you," She said and even without being there I knew she was smiling, having a mother was everything, they were the light in a person's life.
" I will, love you Mom,"
" I love you too son," She said before the line ended.
A knock came on my door and my face instantly took a smile when I saw who walked in.
" Just how many times do I have to remind you that you don't need to knock on the door before you walk in,"
" Well, I'm being a good secretary, there's nothing wrong with that," She said with a shrug.
" How's Bella doing?" I asked, her friend has been discharged from the hospital but as of now she's unable to walk so she's in a wheelchair.
" She's doing good, the doctor's strictly warned her not to do anything that would stress the leg, and she's well taken care of by Mom and the nurse you provided," How the hell did she know I sent the nurse?
" When a top class nurse refuses to leave my best friend's side that she had been ordered to watch over her till she gets better, I couldn't think of anyone who could do something like that,"
" Okay, okay, you got me, I just wanted to make sure she's well taken care of so you don't have to worry about her all the time,"
" Thank you so much, Cole,"
" You can thank me better with a kiss," I proposed and I could see her contemplating if she wanted to kiss me or not. The look in her eyes told me she wanted to kiss me but she was holding back.
" I've got an even better idea," She suddenly said to me with that beautiful smile.
" And that is?"
" How about we have that dinner you talked about in your house," My body instantly flamed up with need, liking the idea way too much.
" I'm all yours baby girl,"
