Chapter 20 - Pain

LUKE POV

I watch as she stops dead in her tracks to make it clear that she and that doctor is not in a relationship. I can not believe that she has the nerve to look straight into my eyes and not waver when she tells me that. She is clearly an independent woman and doesn't scare easily.

But when she speaks, a shot of joy jumps into my heart as happiness is not the word that I'm looking for. But then I start to wonder is it only that guy that is not her boyfriend and her real boyfriend is somewhere else? How is it possible that a woman like that does not have a boyfriend?

There is no way on this earth that she could be single. She has too much potential to be alone and then I have not even been talking about her looks. The way that she is looking at me right now is driving me insane.

She stares at me with confidence in her eyes and that is what I am looking for in a woman. Someone that can hold their own and that is, what is standing right before me.

"I must say that, that, is the best news that I have heard in a long time"

MIKAYLA POV

This man with his piercing eyes is going to be the death of me. I never thought that I would say something like that to anyone. Especially when it is somebody that I have not even spoken a few words to. Here I am practically declaring my love to him.

But then he says those words that I want to hear from him. He really wants to know if I am single. I think that he likes me almost as much as I like him. Then I start to walk again with my eyes securely locked on the ground as the courage that I had just a minute ago has disappeared into thin air.

"Do you always concentrate on the pavement like that when you walk?"

I look up at him with a frown on my face.

"What do you mean, always?"

"Well, I was watching you walking up the street and I wanted to wave at you but you were finding the pavement much more interesting..."

I can not help as I start to blush at his observation. Because I remember that I was thinking of him when my eyes were trying to focus on something else, except on the thoughts of him.

LUKE POV

I am enjoying every second that I am walking next to this woman and being in her company. The way that her facial expressions change from courage to shyness in a matter of seconds intrigues me.

I love it when I make her blush. I watch as she then again finds the pavement more interesting because I know she is trying to hide the red on her rosy cheeks. Then I hear her giggle while she covers her mouth with her hand and my arousal for her increases exponentially.

"I do not find the pavement more interesting. I was just focusing on where I was walking"

"Uhmm... Sure. Let's just say that I agree with you"

Suddenly I feel pain shoots through my head. I can not help it as my hands automatically goes to comfort my head from the severe pain. My mouth then also involuntarily lets out a moan of pain.

MIKAYLA POV

I watch as his hands grab his head and he is clearly in pain. I can not help as my doctor side jumps in front of me to take me over and start to analyze him. I put my hand on his shoulder and then say.

"Are you okay?"

He stumbles against a wall of one of the houses on the street, bending down a bit. I can not help it as I start to get concerned as he is not answering me right away. I put my hands on his hands and then ask again.

"Luke, are you okay. Please talk to me?"

LUKE POV

I feel as a deafening pain consumes my head. For a second I can not keep my balance or hear anything around me. I feel myself falling against the wall trying to stay upright. I have never experienced something like this before. It only lasts for a few seconds.

Then suddenly I feel too soft hands on my hands which are still holding my head. For a moment I do not know who it is but then her scent of sweet honey reminds me of the exquisite creature that was walking next to me.

I open my eyes slowly and then I look into a face that is filled with concern. I can not help as my fingers entwine with her fingers and then I lower my hands, taking her hands with mine still holding it.

"I am okay…hmm…really. Thank you for caring"

I feel her soft hands still holding on to mine and I can not help as I suddenly get aroused by her again.

"What happened?"

I do not know exactly what I have to tell her but I think it is because of me walking too far.

"Oh…it happens sometimes. It is probably just a migraine"

"Yes, those can hurt. Do you have some pills for it?"

When she asked if I have pills, I get a flashback of the number of pills that I do have in my house just to keep my heart beating. So, it is very ironic when she asks if I have pills.

"Uhm...Yes, but not with me right now. But do not worry let's get you home"

I feel as her touch leaves my hand and suddenly there is only a coldness left.

MIKAYLA POV

I suddenly realize that I am standing only inches away from him and my hands are still touching his. I can not believe how I just intrude in his personal space. I take a step back and then try to act as normal as possible through my now rapid breathing.

"Are you sure you should not get back and get some pills in your system?"

I hold my breath and hope that he will tell me that he can still walk with me. But on the other hand, he needs to get some pills for that migraine as I know very well that if you don't get something in now, it will only get worse.
