Finally unconscious...But insane?

After Evans left to return back to the hospital and left the unconscious patient in his brother's care, Eric shut the door behind him when he entered his room where Kristine was sleeping soundly in his bed.

If not for the bandage wrapped around her head and the bruises evident on her arms and right leg, nobody would believe she was hit by a car concerning how peaceful she was sleeping.

Due to the accident which happened so abruptly and rendered him confused, Eric didn't have the opportunity to notice the drastic change in the appearance of this grown-up Kristine on his bed, compared to the young introverted teenage girl he met for the first time at their house ten years ago.

Moreover, this current look of Kristine lying unconscious in his bed could be mistaken for her doppelganger, since the girl in the past wouldn't hold a candle to how this present girl looked now. A girl who was formally scared of her own shadow and always hid her face behind her messy long hair which she normally leaves hanging across her face, to hide away from the world.

She had indeed made a huge transformation than before.

Nevertheless, Eric stared longingly at Kristine's unconscious face for a long time. This was the first time he had seen how she looked in reality apart from her scary unapproachable look in the past.

However, he couldn't help but be impressed at what he was seeing, as he drew closer to the bed and bent closer to gaze at her intensely.

Eric's thoughts once again began to run wild in admiration of the beautiful flawless features his eyes beheld.

"She looked more beautiful in person than in the photos. Her long lashes, firm cheeks, and her hot sexy red lips which had a blood stain on them." Eric thought to himself as he continued staring.

He found himself mesmerized and suddenly reached out to wipe the bloodstain on her lower lip, but his hand paused in midair suddenly aware of what he was about to do. He stood up abruptly, feeling awkward at his reaction.

On second thoughts, Eric went into the bathroom and returned with a towel and fresh water in a basin to wipe Kristine's face and body which were smeared with dirt and blood.

To begin with, he squeezed the towel draining all the water out then began wiping her forehead, as he swept her hair back to expose her entire face to his view. He then traveled down to her cheek and jaw slowly and carefully, then finally to her bloodstained lips.

Whereas, his fingers mistakenly brushed her smooth skin along her jawline and Eric felt a tremor go through his veins. It was the softest touch he had ever felt underneath his fingers which made his heart skip a beat.

Even though a little frightened at his reaction, Eric ignored it and calmed himself before he continued wiping her arms and her long legs...

Kristine, on the other hand, wore a cute dress which stayed above her knee exposing her long-toned temptous legs to Eric's view...

Her glowing skin and the radiance she exuded when Eric softly brushed the wet towel to wipe her suddenly made him breathless. It was like her beauty was drawing him in, and he just couldn't stop staring at her.

She was indeed a natural-born Beauty! So flawless. No makeup and her hair was a little messy, yet, she caught his attention which scared him.

Eric realized he had never felt these emotions before. Even with the numerous time he spent on set with his countless gorgeous famous female co-stars during film shoots and photo shots for magazines and adverts.

But it can't be that shocking, since Kristine's beauty was way over the top. It simply can't be compared to what he had seen in his career so far.

Either way, he shouldn't be feeling this way towards a girl he had long hated and despised since she separated them from their beloved Nanny...Rachel. He should be despising her more right now since he still couldn't get over the pain of abandonment and betrayal from their Nanny.

Moreover, Kristine even had the opportunity to grow up in Nanny Rachel's care and love all these years. And it seemed their Nanny never missed them at all which infuriates him more.

Eric suddenly stoop up away from her and began pacing back and forth hoping to calm the speeding rate of his heart.

"This simply can't be what they call love at first sight... is it? Well, he was too mature for that to happen! It must be the stress of the night..." The restlessness within Eric increased as these thoughts went across his mind.

After a while, when he realized he was calmed, Eric exhaled sharply as he stared at Kristine's peaceful face once more. He gave into the never-ending temptation to touch her again, so he stretched his hand to feel her softness one more time by brushing his fingers against her perfectly smooth face. He paused when he got close to her lips and called himself off for his indecent behavior.

Eric scolded himself for his near act of indecency and strange behavior. He had to remind himself repeatedly about the contempt he had for the girl before him.

"It was Kristine...Kristine!! His sworn enemy." Eric distanced himself away from her to get some fresh air and calm his nerves. He went into the shower to freshen up.

After arriving from his birthday party, Eric realized he finally had some alone time to himself during his shower. All of a sudden, he began to hum a strange tune. This was the first time this song had struck his mind after a long time. He still had no idea where he heard it or how he knew it but he later replaced the humming with the lyrics...

"Together as one

Let our destiny meet...

oh one day, oh one day

we shall be one

You are my favorite person."

Eric sang the song even though he wasn't sure how he knew this. He had no memories of any incident behind that song but It felt like the song was a special part of him.

Once, he had asked Evans if he had heard that song before and his brother's answer was a no!

Weird! he assumed it was a lullaby sung to them by their Mom. But since he and Evans grew up together and his brother can't remember or ever heard that song, then where did he learn it?

Strange! So he simply stopped stressing over the reason behind the song and simply enjoyed singing it.

Eric showered for a long time to release all the stress of the night, from his party to his near accident, and what happened a moment ago with the unconscious girl on his bed.

"It must be the stress, this wasn't like him.!" Eric soothes himself.

After almost half an hour of being in the shower, Eric came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel around his waist. He proceeded to stand in front of the mirror for a long time, staring at nothing, before he moved towards his closet for some comfortable shirt and pants. To finally get some sleep.

It was now 3:30 am in the morning...

Eric returned to his bedroom after putting on some comfortable clothes to finally get some sleep. He glance at his bed, then at his couch, and wondered where to sleep since Kristine has taken over his bed. Moreover, he sleeps well in his bed than anywhere, and he needed a comfortable sleep right now, after everything that happened.

"I am sorry Kristine, but I am too tired to sleep on the couch. So forgive my manners and let me sleep next to you...I promise not to touch or bother you." Eric moved to occupy the space on his king-sized bed and seemed quite satisfied after asking permission from the unconscious girl lying next to him.

Even though he later wondered why he needed to ask permission though, it was his bed and his room after all.

Kristine occupied a small portion of the space on the bed so Eric had enough space to stretch his body next to her and got ready to have a good night's sleep.

It was around 10 am in the morning, when Eric found himself thrown out of his bed and he fell hard on the floor, with a scream into his ears. He opened his eyes in shock and found himself on the floor with strange blue eyes staring down at him... with a deadly glare!.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my bed..you pervert!" Kristine had a disgusted look on her face as she stared down at the stranger before her.

Eric was more shocked about being called a pervert than getting thrown out of his bed. He was about to get up from the floor to have a clear look at the girl who was still glaring at him as if she wanted to strangle him.

"Speak! or do you want me to beat you up before you talk?..." After a long silence from her culprit, Kristine suddenly went closer to him feeling concerned about his silence and his pooty face.

"Are you deaf?" Her voice was calm.

She finally turned around to scan the room and realized she was in a strange place.

"Where is this? and why did you bring me here? What were you trying to do with me.....You bastard! Did Caleb put you up to this? What?! He thought I didn't know the truth." Kristine paused for a second after all her blabbering, while Eric was staring up at her without moving an inch from the floor. He became scared all of the sudden about her strange outburst and feared that she had actually lost it.

"What was she talking about and who is Caleb by the way?" Eric didn't realize he had uttered these questions aloud.

"Caleb! Caleb Donnells... And don't you dare give me that confused look and pretend you don't know who I am talking about. I know you are with Caleb on this... Does he still think I am too easy? Where is he?!!!" Kristine's voice was beginning to get louder by the minute.

Eric finally stood up in alarm thinking if the accident had somehow damaged this girl's reasoning. He needed to call Evans right this instant.

By the time he came to grips with Kristine's behavior and reached out for the phone to call his brother, Kristine got down from the bed and went looking for someone she thought he was hiding away from her.

"Caleb! Caleb!! Caleb!!!.. Come out now! I know you are hiding here somewhere." Eric dropped his phone to stop Kristine as her voice kept getting louder.

Kristine, on the other hand, broke free from his hold on her hand and moved to look everywhere searching for Caleb. She searched underneath the bed before she moved around the spacious room to look behind the couch then went into his spacious closet looking here and there impatiently.

After she searched everywhere without any clue, she finally moved to open the bathroom door to see if he was taking a shower.

"You better come out right now Caleb while I am being nice! I am going to sit down quietly on the bed and count to ten! We need to have some serious talk. Just come out and stop hiding from me." Like she said, Kristine sat on the bed and waited.

"I won't bite you! I won't even yell anymore." Her gestures made her more intimidating.

Whoever that Caleb was, must have been her number one enemy by the looks of things. Should he thank God Caleb isn't here or rather be more worried? This girl doesn't seem to give up easily. He would be forced to stop an attempted murder from happening if she comes across that Caleb here.

Meanwhile, Kristine sat quietly on the bed and began her one-to-ten countdown, while Eric was still shocked at what he was witnessing before him. He could barely utter a word. It felt like Kristine was an alien who just landed on earth for the first time.

When Eric realized he couldn't handle the situation anymore, he remembered he had to finally put an emergency call to his brother.

"Why didn't you explain her condition in detail? That it was this serious...Come here right now!"

Eric hung up the call after putting across these few words to have his brother there quickly before he decided to approach Kristine steadily. To see if he could handle the situation and calm Kristine down before his brother's arrival.

"I hope I succeed though, and she wouldn't later see me as that Caleb!" Eric breathes to calm his nerves before he approached her.

WHAT NEXT??!

GUESS!
