CHAPTER 8

"You okay?" Hannah asked me after meeting ended. In that moment, I didn't care about the fact that my internship is accepted here as well as Hannah's, George's and some two other students. All I could think of that gorgeous woman named Ann Dupont. Who is she?

"Yea..." I said quietly and walked away.

"Jessica, wait!" Hannah started following me but then George came.

"I'll wait for you in my room." I turned to Hannah. "George, listen, and try to understand." I turned to George. They both nodded and I sighed. I turned away and start walking towards my room.

Sister, my ass!

I said in my head. There's no way she is his sister. That beautiful? And did anybody noticed that big diamond ring on her finger? But then again, I didn't saw any ring on Mike... Well, he will explain, and this will all be a huge misunderstanding. I think.

"Baby!" Mike jumped off my bed and hugged me. I was shocked. I never saw him in that light before. "What are you doing up? I came here, and when I found an empty room I almost called security!" Mike started explaining with gestures when he let me go, I started laughing. What is happening with him? For a second, I forgot about Ann. I wanted to enjoy his perfection a little more before I find out the big news.

"I went to a meeting downstairs." I said as I sit on my bed and took of my shoes. He helped me by moving my legs on the bed as I laid down. I sighed deeply, feeling my wound and the pain it caused.

"So, how did that go?" He said a little worried. Or I'm just imagining that.

"Well, I met an interesting person today..." I looked at him, trying to catch his eyes, but he was looking down, covering me with a blanket.

"Yea? Who?" He said thoughtfully as he sat on my bed near me. I could feel his voice was shaking. I wanted to yell at him or maybe slap him because for some reason I started to feel angry. Even though he didn't told me who is she, a woman always feels that kind of thing, I guess. Besides, if she is his sister, he would brag about how his sister works here, and she's like second most important person in this hospital except my mom, and who wouldn't want to brag on that? But on the one side, I wanted him to tell me himself. Like maybe, hey Jess, we had sex and I like you but I have a wife. Maybe a child, I don't know. But guys don't tell those things. They lie. Like Mike did.

Bullshit.

"Some chick with who I will be an intern here. With Hannah and George and one guy too." I said and I could read relief all over his face. I rolled my eyes without him noticing and laid down. I could feel pain but other than that, some kind of strange gut feeling, like a small anxiety attack.

"I need to tell you something..." He said when he stood up. I sat up in my bed and looked at him. My eyes was fulled with tears already since I knew what he is about to say. My heart started beating fast when he looked at me sadly.

"Yes?" I tried to hide my sad face and I faked a small smile. Inside me, I was already torn apart.

"First, I want to say that I am so sorry Jessica." He started explaining letting his hands fold like he is praying. I just closed my eyes and I sighed deeply.

"Why Mike?" I said as I opened my eyes. I felt a small teardrop on my cheek. He sat rapidly on my bed next to me. He looked me straight in my eyes. I took a big breath.

"When I saw you at the bar, I wanted so badly to know you. I wanted you in my bed without even knowing how you look. I don't know why, but when I saw your blue eyes and that perfect blond hair, I forgot about my wife and..." He was explaining.

Wife...

I repeated this word in my head all over again.

"I understand if you are mad." He finished.

"I am not mad..." I said softly lowering my look. I can't be mad at him. When I look into his eyes, I forget about everything. "I'm disappointed." I lifted my head and looked into his eyes. His eyes were wattering too which made my stomach hurt a bit.

"I am so sorry..." He didn't looked away and I saw tears in his eyes. That made my heart fall down to my gut. There's nothing sexiest and saddest thing at the same time as seeing a grown man acting like this.

"Can you tell me why? I need to know." I said and again I closed my eyes. I couldn't look at him anymore. This hurts badly, even worse then my wound. I would give that horrible man who stabbed me an opportunity to stab me 3 times more then be here, laying on this bed, in this hospital, watching how the man in my dream turned out to be nothing else then a liar. A married liar who cheats on his wife.

"I can't explain. That day... Me and my..." He started talking but I interrupted him.

"Ann." I said lightly and weakly still with my eyes closed. If I open them, I will start crying.

"Me and Ann..." He sighed. "We had a fight that day. I can't even remember what for. The point is, when I entered that bar, I wanted to get drunk and forget. But then, I saw you. A young, beautiful woman with the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. You were perfect. My heart started beating fast and I realized, you are the only one who make feel this way." He touched my hand and I felt a burning inside my skin. He made this with just touching my hand. I almost faint when I opened my eyes and I saw him crying. I couldn't speak. I opened my mouth to say something but I couldn't. Words just didn't want to come out.

I almost faint in front of him every time I saw him, my bod melt every time he touch me and now he is telling me that I, a normal girl who is so out of his league, make his heart beat faster. How can anyone has such a huge inpact on someone who you barely know? His words was exactly from a cheating guy textbook and that made me even more sick to my stomach.

"What about her?" Finally, I could say something but I couldn' make myself to say her name.

"You want honestly?" He looked at me when he wiped away his tears. I still couldn't believe a man like him, so suit up and macho has this side. I didn't say a word, I just nodded.

"The last time I had sex with Ann was 3 years ago." I opened my mouth widely. 3 years? He is living with this woman and don't have sex with her?

Seriously?

"Seriously?" I repeated my thought. Then again, I remembered my parent's marriage. I can't remember the last time they even kissed!

"Honestly. Jessica, look." He touched my chin. I felt tingling sensation all over my body. "I like you. I can't remember the last time I felt that way." He started caress my cheek and I think I tremble a bit. "You are the only woman who woke up this side of me after Ann." He said letting me go because I backed off a little. Image of him and Anna popped into my head and I felt disgusted.

"Mike... But you lied to me." Even though I heard all this and I still couldn't believe what I discovered, the true fact is that he didn't told me the truth. I wouldn't sleep with him if I knew he is married. To be honest, I thought this will be an one night stand and after I leave his apartment, I won't see him again.

"Think about it. I will be waiting." He slowly kissed me on the forehead and walk out of my room. The second he turned away from me, my tears burst out of me and I snapped. I covered my face with hands and I let all my pain went out.

Obviously, that wasn't just a one night stand.

I don't know what will I do with him.
