A few minutes later he returned with, grey sweat pants, and black T-shirt
" your pants are still wet, unfortunately but I got you the smallest pair of pants I have. Though it also has a draw string , so they should work fine. " I smiled.
" It is fine thank you. " I replied taking them . " Oh how am I suppose to get the shirt over my arm? " I looked from the IV to him. " I'll just disconnect you from the saline, it is empty anyway he answered.
As he disconnected the tubes. "Alright I'm just going to step outside . Don't stand up please ,we don't want you falling . " he said looking to me. " Ok."
I smiled letting him walk away. Before i Pulled the blanket off , pulling the pants on well trying to. After getting frustrated I sighed taking the gown off. Then sat at the edge of the bed. Putting my feet in the pant legs , then slowly stood to pull them up. Getting dizzy immediately ,Falling my knees hitting the ground with a thud. Suddenly, Locklyn was in front of me holding my head. My eyes widened as I gasped in surprise . Concern filled his deep brown eyes. He looked into my eyes. " I told you not to stand." He said gently. He wrapped his arms around me gently ,picking me up to put me on the bed. " I didn't think I'd fall from literally two seconds of standing." I looked up into his eyes. only to catch his eyes taking in my breast my ,causing me to blush. He seemed to swallow hard and look away fast. A blush tinged my cheeks, as I realized I had nothing covering the top of my body. Quickly I put the shirt on. He cleared his throat and looked to me as I pulled it down .
" Uh so. Are you hungry or anything?" He asked again hooking a new bag up to the line. "Yes actually. " I smile . " Ok I'll get you something light. Be right back ."
Thank you I smiled watching him walk out .
Some time later time later, I woke up to the door opening . " Hey I'm sorry, I didn't know you gone back to sleep." He said as he walked in with a tray. " Its ok I sat up." Just I did he slid a tray over my lap There was home made chicken noodle soup and crackers. And orange juice. " Thank you." I smiled.
" Of course gorgeous." he smiled.
My heart fluttered at the endearment, making me smile stupidly.
He moved next to me " so unfortunately. We have to figure out what happen last night. Are you ready to talk about what you remember?" he looked to me. As I put a spoon full of soup in my mouth and froze looking to him . Blinking my eyes slightly. Before mentally shaking my head. "Uh yes guess sorry, I looked down." "It's ok if your not ready, Just we are worried for you is all . " He admitted .
After hours of talking, I had explained everything that happened yesterday day from waking up late for class to almost being abducted.
"So you have no where to go?" He asked
" I will figure something out." I smiled. " You could stay here, This is my place. I couldn't impose." I shook my head.
" once I can walk with out falling I'll figure something out. Its no trouble honestly . He shook his head this is a huge house and with the acceptation of my close friends and father occasionally popping in I live alone." He looked to me. I nodded. " if you are sure." I looked to him. " I work...well I worked at the café on campus. But I can get another job here ." I offered biting my lip. Locklyn looked to me .
" you need to rest ,and when your better. If you like to go back to school. You should focus on your schooling. "
He said. " My scholarship was revoked ." I replied softly . "I am aware , don't worry about that." I cocked my head to the side looking at him. What does he mean don't worry about it? School is important and from what I heard you more than deserve to finish it. Just let me know when your ready to go back. I will take care it. " Not sure I felt I stared at him . "I'm not sweating the money gorgeous , I just want you to finish your classes. " I posted that a lot of money. You don't even know me. Locklyn looked to me, no but I want to get to know you. Besides I need good things to do with the money I have." He shrugged. " I'm sorry I don't accept help well. " I admitted. That is because you never had it before. " Locklyn replied softly. That is very true I had been on my own since I was 16.
" So what on the agenda now?" I smiled. " Rest." he stood. " You need to rest and I have a thesis paper." he smiled. " I'll be in to check on you later." He smiled. My heart Sank a little. Honestly I didn't want him to leave. " ok." I smiled playing off my disappointment. After he to took away the tray I got comfortable again in the bed
