19. Not Every Lady

Ella watched the nurse leave and sighed heavily.

Well, she had sprained her ankle, it wasn’t so serious but she had received instructions from the doctor to be careful or else it could become worse. So, for the next three days she wasn’t allowed to put any pressure on her leg.

She sighed again, inspecting the neatly bandaged ankle. She didn’t feel anymore pain since the first thing the doctor had done when they got here was administer some painkillers.

The curtain drew open and Ella sat up at the sight of Kaiden. His dress shirt had become rumpled and his hair disheveled, he looked wild. Yet it suited him. Hell, the man could wear a trash bag and still look good. He had a paper bag and a bottle of water in hand.

Dropping the bag on the table he opened the bottle and walked towards her. As he got closer, Ella edged away, she couldn’t stand being too close to him right now. The painkiller was making her a little light headed, and she didn’t do well when she was disoriented.
