I sat up immediately and cleared my throat, she was not alone in the hospital room. There were three other men in the room, one was glaring at me, another one was staring at me almost lustfully while the last one was indifferent.
They were all very attractive. I did not need to look under their shirts to see that they were hot. I gulped and tried to take my eyes away from them, I was almost successful until one of them spoke.
"Lycan, come over here, your mate is awake." The one with he expression of indifference said.
I heard sharp footsteps from the hallways and immediately Lycan appeared at the door. Three steps and he was already hunched over me.
"Good morning..." He whispered to me giving me a forehead kiss. "How do you feel?." He asked me pushing my hair away from my face.
"Good." I replied. I didn't feel good, my head felt as if it was cracked open, but I was grateful to be alive and not handcuffed to the headboard of that devil.
He took my fingers and kissed them, I felt very weird because he was so close to me and there were four other people in the room, he sensed my discomfort.
"Are you shy... everybody, Kaya is shy." He said in a teasing tone.
My checks coloured, I wondered why the hell I was so embarrassed, there were only four people there.
"At least now that you know she's alright you can get something to eat and then go to sleep at home, you've been up all through the night and you look pale." His mother said to him.
"Nah, I'm not leaving you again. We'll both go home when the doctor discharges you." Lycan told me ignoring his mother.
"He's only had scotch since yesterday, nothing else.... Kaya can you at least talk to him, tell him to eat something. We've tried. " the guy that was staring at me lustfully said.
I was taken aback. I never had a boyfriend, I was never in love, I didn't know that my health could influence someone. Instead of telling Lycan to eat something, I became very speechless.
" It's high time you guys left. Kaya is tired now." Lycan said to the four of them.
" You didn't even introduce us." The one with the indifferent expression said.
"Kaya, these are my friends, they're like my brothers. Guys you already know who Kaya is." Lycan said.
"Is the jealousy up to that extent?." The one with lust filled eyes said. "At least a handshake wouldn't be bad." He added.
Lycan glared at him, I shivered.
"At least our names wouldn't hurt. I'm Crescent..." The one with the indifferent expression said.
"I'm Tide and that is Elvis."
Elvis wouldn't stop glaring at me. Tide kept his distance and eyes to himself because he was obviously scared of Lycan but Crescent seemed aloof, like he wasn't even present at all. Lycan had a kind of authority figure amongst them, he said they were friends but they seemed to have ranks, they didn't need to tell me, I could pick it up.
The doctors discharged us and Lycan wouldn't let me walk. He insisted on pushing me on a wheelchair but I didn't want to be pushed around.
They all left, Mrs Rollins left in a separate car, she didn't even say goodbye.
"Don't worry, she will come around." Lycan said to me reassuringly.
He drove me to his house, I did not plan on staying long. I needed a job.
"Let's get you to bed." Lycan said breaking my thoughts and bringing me back from my dream land.
We were walking upstairs and he was leading me to my bedroom, he pushed open a door. The room was beautiful. I walked inside the bedroom to examine it when I heard a soft seductive voice of a lady, it was coming from the hallway, I froze.
"Baby... I've been trying to reach you but you're not answering my calls, why?." The voice said.
He had a girlfriend?!
I didn't know how to feel. I felt as if there was a hole in my belly and all my organs were falling through it. I felt gruesome.
" What the f*ck... Jessica, what are you doing here?. " I heard Lycan asking, he shut the door to the bedroom.
" What do you mean, why are you sounding like that?." The woman asked him.
"Let's talk downstairs." He said, I turned the door knob trying to take a peek, but then the lady saw me. Immediately I saw her, I recognized her.
She was the News anchor, from the ten o'clock news. She was extremely smart and gorgeous, beauty with brains. She was probably the youngest news anchor ever.... She didn't look the way she normally did on the news.
Her hair was tied in a messy bun but it looked far from messy, her mini dress clung to her like a second skin, her lips were blazing hot and her expression was filled with hate.
"Who are you?." She asked me with an icy tone.
Lycan held her from walking towards me, I closed the door again, she started banging on it.
"Jessica!." He yelled and everything fell quiet.
"Leave." He told her.
I couldn't see what was happening, but I didn't want to see his face, he was a cheater and a liar... But he never discussed relationships with me.
I never knew that I wasn't the only woman in his life. The sound of his knocking filled the room.
"Kaya, please let me in." He said
" Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?." I asked him.
He laughed.
" Kaya, please she's not my girlfriend. I'm sorry she barged in like that, I'm so sorry, please open the door." He said
" Who is she?. " I asked him harshly.
" Look who is sounding possessive..." He said sounding amused.
Did he think this was a joke. I unlocked the door and I flung it open.
"I'm not joking, who the hell is she?!." I demanded.
Intense green eyes stared back at me, more amused than ever.
" You're jealous..." He said running his hand across my lips, I loved it when he did that.
I was supposed to be angry but as soon as his hands cupped my face, anger gave way to the same feeling I felt that day in the bar... I wanted him badly.
