When Janice came out of the bathroom the nurses were saying goodbye to Tyler as they giggled all the way out the door. She runs into his arms and for a moment he just holds her, so tightly she couldn't even breathe. "Are you alright kitten? Does anywhere hurt?" He asks as she clutches onto him.
"Only my head but the nurses already gave me pain medication so I should be okay soon. "Come sit down, let me take a look at you." As soon as she did he starts touching her cheeks, chest, neck, and hands.
"I almost had a heart attack when the nurses told me you were here and that you had crashed." He said cupping her cheeks in his hands. "They told me, I'm so sorry Ty." She cried.
"Shh, it's ok now, my aunt has been driving you for a while now, why didn't you call her if you felt you weren't ready?" He asks running his hand down her plait. "I thought I was ready. I thought I could do it. I'm sorry and now I've ruined my beautiful car." She cried.
"I don't care about the car, I just thank God you weren't badly hurt." He whispers kissing her lips softly. "How long was I out?" She asks looking around the room. "Four agonizing hours." He snorts. "You've been so patient with me and I really thought I was ready….I…." "Shh, I'm just so grateful that you're okay and I'm also very grateful that- that guy came along when he did and that he didn't take advantage of you." He said taking a card from his pocket.
"Considering whom he is or who I thought he was. I was very wrong about him. When the nurse point him out to me and told me that he was the one that brought you in I almost fainted." He chuckles.
"It's not that I knew him or anything but I've seen him more than once and at one time I heard he was been investigated by the police for being involved in drugs. Not that I was surprised I always thought he looked like a drug lord and those guys he hang out with, damn, but I was glad to be wrong." He sighs heavily.
"Every time I saw him he sends chills down my spine. The man is the scariest person I've ever seen and you know my cousins so that coming from me says something." "I don't know him all that well either. I and a few ladies from church ministered to him a few times and gave him a book but beyond that….Um…What makes you think you're wrong about him." She asks in an unsure tone.
"Well for one he didn't take advantage of you. Two he insists on fixing your car for free and three when I ask him about it he swears that he wasn't a drug lord, so I guess time will tell whether he's lying or not but for right now he helped my wife so I've to be grateful for that. Are you hungry?" He asks. "Actually yes very." She said with a weak smile. "Okay come on let's go to the canteen." He said helping her to her feet.
While she was eating he called his aunt and asks her to come to get Janice at the hospital and take her home so she could rest. "I need you to text me as soon as you get home okay." He said softly. "I will baby." "Good, then take a long soak in the hot tub, relax your muscles and please rest. Miss Alice can take care of the kids until I get home." "I'll follow your instructions to the letter Dr. Jackson." She said with a giggle. "Good girl, I'll be home by eight." He said kissing her lips again.
