Curious

We rushed in the hospital.

Mark was there too. They all managed him. Took the bullet pieces out. Put him under i.v. fluids.

Mark came up to me and told me not to worry. He was gonna be alright.

I knew the wound wasn't that serious and he would be fine but I was scared about the 'what ifs?'

What if it was in the head or torso, damaged some vitals?

What if he wasn't home and I couldn't find him?

What if the person who did this had some ulterior motive?

What if he tried it again?

What if he has faced something like this before?

What if I had not come on time?

I was worrying about him. I lived with him. How could I not?

Mark came up to me and told me he was now awake.

But it was late enough after the bullet hit him. He had lost a lot of blood.

I went in.

He was sitting there as if nothing had happened to him.

He was all like its all cool. Discharge me now.

" You need to take some rest, Aiden.

Stop being an asshole for sometime and take care of yourself." I said.

I didn't want to push him to immediately answer to my curiosity about what happened? Who did this to him? Where was he?

"I know. But I don't wanna be here. You can take me home and take care of me there. You're a doctor yourself. They'll allow you." he said.

"Okay, but tomorrow. Today you need the hospital care." I replied to his persistence.

The next day, I took him home.

And after that I prepared food for him. Fed him. Changed his bandages. Took care of him and would continue to do till he will be alright.

Between this time. I didn't ask anything and he didn't tell.

I realised I didn't know anything about Aiden, except his name.

I don't know where does he go everyday. What work he does? His family. His personal life. I ain't know nothing!

And I was curious to know about him.

One day, I just couldn't control the building curiosity so I asked him.

"What happened Aiden? Could you please tell me!"

" I like to see you being curious. I like to see you dying to know.

I won't tell you, now until you go on a date with me tomorrow. I'm fine now. So what say?" he said with a smirk

Did he just!?

I was astonished.

This was unexpected.

"Um, I don't know. If I am free tomorrow. Would you like to eat?"

I don't know why but I was nervous. The thought of me going on a date with Aiden. With this guy who is hotter than any guy in this planet. Who's mysterious personality is attractive af!

I was just too shocked that he would ever ask that. I felt I was too out of league for him.

He would just be playing around with a million girls. That's probably why he was out till late. Sometimes wouldn't even return home.

I looked at him to be a playboy of a rich family who would always be surrounded by girls!

While I was serving food for him. All these thoughts had consumed me.

"What are you thinking babe? Am I that bad that you'd just dodge my question and ignore me?"

I legit jumped by his voice.

He was right behind me. Way too close.

"What are you doing out of bed Aiden?"

"I'm fine! It's nothing. Don't worry about it please."

Why did he say that? Normally someone would be scared if he got hit by a gun. Why was he so cool about it?

"Okay, I'll go with you" I told him.

I had to cease this opportunity to know about him.
