Chapter 10- Apology accepted

Bodhi laid in Logan's arms, smiling as he sang to her. She never had anyone sing to her before, and thought it was sweet and romantic, and how he sang to her was soft, quiet, and meaningful, that when he squeezed her tighter against him, it caused her to fall asleep.

The next morning, she woke up still in his arms, and carefully slid his arm off her to get out of bed. She quietly got off the bed, put on her robe and headed into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. She stood at the counter watching the coffee brew, thinking about what she and Logan did the night before, hoping what she did with him wasn't a mistake.

As she was pouring herself a cup of coffee, Logan snuck up from behind, wrapped his arms around her waist, leaned around her and kissed her cheek, giving her goosebumps. "Morning." he said in a deep morning voice.

"Morning." she smiled "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Sure, I'll take a cup... how did you sleep?"

"Like a baby." she smiled while pouring him a cup of coffee.

His hands trailed up and down the sides of her body, and began kissing the side of her neck. "That's good, I slept well myself... almost too good, that when I woke up, I was as stiff as a metal pole, and wasn't able to beat down the swelling since the woman who fell asleep in my arms last night, was missing."

She giggled and turned around, holding his cup in front of him "Your coffee." she smiled "I think you'll live." she winked. She slid out of his arms, and headed for the fridge "Are you hungry?" she asked as she opened the door, and looked to see what they had.

"I'm very hungry..."

"What would you like to eat?"

"Scrambled eggs between the legs." he said with a grin, while taking a sip of his coffee.

She turned around, and gave him a funny look "I meant as for food."

"I thought scrambled eggs was food?"

"Between my legs?" she giggled. She turned around and grabbed the carton of eggs "I'll make you eggs and sausage." She realized what she said, and rolled her eyes knowing he would make a comment. She turned around and saw him grinning "Don't even say it." she laughed.

He chuckled "I didn't say anything... although I do like my sausage folded in between my eggs."

"Why don't you go lift some weights while I make your breakfast." she laughed.

Logan laughed and walked away. He was in a good mood, and loved seeing that he could make someone laugh and smile. He thought about how his relationship was with Brooklyn, and how complicated it was over the years. He liked teasing and giving her a hard time, knew she hated it, and it only made him want to do it more.

Even though they fought all the time, and had hurt her feelings over the years, he still felt a certain type of love for her. It wasn't the kind of love she was looking for, and still felt guilty for sleeping with her, the only love he had for her, was as a friend.

While lifting weights, he continued thinking of Brooklyn, and wondered when he starts touring with the band again, how she'll react when he introduces Bodhi to her, and hoping to introduce her as his girlfriend.

Bodhi walked out of the kitchen, and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, watching him lift weights. She noticed he had a different look in his eye, and could tell he was in serious thought about something. "Breakfast is done."

He looked her way, set the weights down, and stood up "Thanks."

He sat down at the table and started itching his head where the staples were "Damn my head itches."

She set his plate of food down in front of him, then looked at the scaring on his head "It'll itch until it's healed. And I must say it's healing quite nicely. I took the bandage off your head a couple days before you opened your eyes." She sat down, grabbed her fork and looked over at him, watching him eat. "What were you thinking about in there?"

"Nothing much." he said with his mouth full of food. "Just some things I know that I need to take care of."

"Like?"

"Stuff with my band, and thinking about how nice it would be if you were to come and tour with me."

She twisted her lips, hoping he wasn't thinking about wanting to go touring soon. And worried that if he were to, he would end up back in the hospital. He still needed all the rest he can get, get his muscle tone back, and that he needed to not overwork his brain for a while. She set her fork down, swallowed her food, and gave him a disapproving look "Logan, you're not ready to go on tour... you just recently woke up from a coma, and you're already doing too much as it is."

He smirked, liking the argumentative look she was giving him, and liking how she was already telling him he couldn't do something, like a real wife would do. "Bodhi." he grinned "I'm not saying I'm going on tour right now; I'm talking about when I do... when I'm ready. Basically, when you tell me I can." he winked "You're the boss."

"I'm not the boss, I'm just a nurse who knows better... and all I'm trying to say is that you need to just relax. That's your number one goal right now, and that's to take care of yourself and to get better, so you can do what you were doing before the accident."

"I don't look at you as just my nurse."

"Then, how do you?"

"If you really want to know, I look at you more than just my nurse... and if I had it my way, I would look at you as one who I would consider you as more than a friend." he smirked. His heart started beating faster, and couldn't believe that came out of his mouth, and was waiting for the next let down from her.

"I see... it's a little too soon for that, in which... what we did last night, never should have happened... We don't even know each other." She didn't mean to say it that way, she did like him, liked what they shared the night before, and didn't want to hurt his feelings in any way, but she felt he was moving too fast.

Hearing her say that to him, pulled the strings in his heart, and looked down at his food as he picked up his fork. He was hungry, but suddenly had lost his appetite, and started playing with his food. "I know we don't know each other that well, and that's why I told my agent I wasn't coming home for another couple months. And the reason why I said that, was because I feel a deep connection with you, and wanted to spend all my time with you, to get to know you..."

"Logan..."

He raised his hand, and shook his head "That's OK, it's not the first time being rejected, and I'm sure it won't be the last." he stood up, grabbed his plate and walked into the kitchen, setting it in the sink. She sat at the table, and placed her face in her hands, wishing she didn't say what she did. It came out wrong, and knew she needed to fix what she said.

He grabbed a towel, put on some boxers, and headed down the stairs and over to the pool. He swam for a while, exercised his legs as he treaded in the water, and did everything Bodhi had him working on the other day. He was now determined more than ever to get all his strength back and win who he felt he was destined to be with. He could feel she liked him, but sensed she was afraid to give her heart to him, and he deserved that after how he had treated women from his past.

Bodhi walked down to the pool, and sat down on one of the chairs near the pool. She watched him do the exercises she had doing the other day, and could see he was healing faster than how she thought he would. He didn't see or hear her come in and was surprised to see her sitting there, watching him when he turned around to start doing laps around the pool. "What are you doing here?" he asked, with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

"I came down to apologize for what I said earlier, it wasn't meant to come out the way it did." she said as she stood up. She walked over to the edge of the pool, and stood, staring down at him. She didn't put on a suit, and wanted to show how sorry she was, and stripped all her clothes off. She jumped in, and made her way over to him.

She got in front of him, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and looked him in the eyes "Please accept my apology, because I too want to get to know you better. And one of the reasons why I got you out of the hospital is, because I felt the same about you. When I talked to you, I felt a connection with you, even though you didn't respond back. And it also made me feel special that you only responded to me, not your mom, your friends, agent, or doctors. Most of the time I could get you to move your finger, and the one time I couldn't, was when I was trying to prove to the doctor that you were here with us."

"You know, you really shouldn't have your arms around me right now."

"So, my apology isn't going to be accepted?" she asked, releasing her arms from around him. She started backing up, and was stopped when he wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her to him.

"I never said I wasn't going to accept your apology..." he said looking at her with a serious look "Before you interrupted me, I was getting ready to say, that you shouldn't have your arms around me with you being naked like that. You left me with blue balls this morning, and you're not about to do that to me again..."

He crashed his lips to hers, kissing her with urgency, and showing her how much he wanted her to be in his life. He grabbed a hold of hair, and gently pulled back giving him access to her neck, sucking and kissing all along her neck and lifting her head back for his lips to meet with hers.

He grabbed a hold of her hand, swam her over to the shallow end and sat down on the steps. He helped her onto his lap, straddling him. "Sorry, my legs were getting tired over there, and needed to rest them."

She could feel his hardness pressed against her and smiled before pressing her lips to his. "It's alright, even I know you can't be doing anything like that right now... and to make up for my choice of words earlier, allow me to take care of you." she smirked.

"Take your bottoms off." she says as she stood up.

"You don't have to tell me twice." he said, quickly taking them off.

She lowered herself down, grabbed a hold of his shaft, and guided him into her. satisfying him. He rested his hands on her hips as she bounced and squirmed, splashing water all around them. She could feel herself getting ready to have an orgasm, and wrapped her arms tightly around him kissing him demandingly, while moving her hips around like she was working a hula hoop.

She moaned out his name as her body started jerking from the wicked orgasm she was having, then started screaming until they both were finished releasing themselves. She looked him in the eyes and smiled "Don't you start thinking you're going to be getting this every time you want. I was only helping with your exercises."

He laughed "Uh huh, yea sure... anyway, thanks for helping me exercise that third leg of mine, I couldn't do that one on my own." he smirked, while pulling her in for another kiss.

She pulled away from his lips and grinned "Let's see how strong your arms and legs are getting, race me around the pool." She pushed herself off and began swimming, testing to see how fast he can swim. She got halfway around the pool when he caught up to her and grabbed a hold of her. "I gave you a lot of time before I started to come after you... I guess you were never told that I used to be on the swim team in high school."

"You were?"

"No... I lied." he laughed "I just use to race my brothers in the pool all the time growing up. I never wanted to get shoved under the water if I lost, so I made sure to always win."

Meanwhile after Logan was kidnapped... The hospital security, and police were working overtime reviewing the tapes, and looking for any clues that were missed. "Damn, these girls were good, they never looked up the entire time." Tony, one of the security personnel said to the officers viewing the tapes.

"All but this girl." Officer Johnson said, pointing to the screen. "She kept her head low the entire time until this part, when she started looking all around. See if you can zoom in on her."

They zoomed in and snapped the best picture they could. They also took another couple snaps of the other girls, but there was nothing they could see as for faces.

"Who is this doctor right here?" Officer Johnson pointed. "He seems to be helping those girls, watch his eyes in slow mode... he sees the girls coming, and eyed them as they walked by, then it looks like he distracted the nurse he was talking to, and walked her to a different area... go back and get a close up of him as well."

"I'm not sure who this doctor is, I've never seen him before." Tony mentioned while taking a picture of the doctor.

Tony then looked at the doctors' logs, and started scratching the back of his head. "All doctors were logged in, and where they were supposed to be, but then as I look further, somehow the doctors that were scheduled on the fourth floor, were suddenly transferred to different locations, and logged in on different floors. All, but this doctor."

He typed in the doctor's ID number, and his number came back as invalid. "Shit... he's not even a doctor... at least not in this area."

Officer Johnson grabbed the pictures and looked closely at them "These need to get out on the news, show their ugly faces and put out a hefty award."

"This guy must be a doctor somewhere, he looked at other patients that night, and subscribed medications, and orders. He even saved a child's life that went into cardiac arrest earlier in the night."

"Hmm." The officer hummed, while rubbing his goatee. "I want all the surveillance covering his room, from the time he came in. Someone knew exactly what they were doing, and I have a feeling it's one of your own here."

The officer went back to the station and sent pictures out to all the news stations, and put out a twenty-five- thousand-dollar reward, following the arrest of the four girls and guy who kidnapped Logan, and for it to be paid out immediately.

After sending the pictures out, he received a phone call from Tony, letting him know he forgot about the ambulance, and that he would email him a picture with the license plate. "Thank you." He hung up, and leaned back in his chair, thinking of all the possibilities of who they could be.

He had copies of the nurses, and doctors' logs from the time Logan was put on that floor, and was curious to see if anyone new had taken over caring for him. As he investigated the Logs, he saw they were all the same, except having a different nurse one day out of the week.

After a week of digging and seeing what he could find, he went back to the hospital asking about Logan's daily nurse Bodhi. "Bodhi is a wonderful nurse, she cares deeply for all the patients she cares for." Bodhi's superior said to the officer.

"Where is she now? Can I speak with her?"

"I'm afraid you can't, she's on vacation for another week."

The officer's eyes widened and tilted his head to the side "Really? Did she happen to go on vacation after this happened?"

"As a matter of fact, she did, but she had taken the time off months before Logan arrived here, whatever you're thinking, it's not her."

The officer smiled "At this point, everyone is a suspect. Do you happen to know where she went?"

"All I know is, she was going out of the country, and had been looking forward to her trip."

The officer shook his hand, left, and immediately called a judge to get a warrant for him to search the different airlines for Bodhi's information, to see if she flew out of the country, and to see who was with her when she left.

Not long after he got off the phone with the courts, he received a phone call from Logan himself, and turned on the recording "If this is Logan, can you state your full name for me please?"

Logan gave him all the information he needed, to prove it was in fact him. "Are you all right? Are you in any kind of danger?" he asked, trying to keep him on the line as long as he could, and getting as much out of him possible "Are you with Bodhi Knight by chance?"

Bodhi? Whose Bodhi? he responded. The officer explained who she was, and what she looked like, Logan denied being with her, said he was with some friends and asked for him to drop all the charges, that they were doing him a favor.

"Sorry Logan, I cannot do that. They kidnapped, and stole the hospital's equipment. But I need for you to tell me where you are, and get you back into the hospital to be looked over."

Sorry, can't do that... when all the charges are dropped, I'll fill you in on everything.

Logan hung up, leaving the officer questioning who had him, and worried for his safety. He grabbed the recording, the phone, and brought it to the surveillance department, to listen and to try and trace the phone call.

The officer then got notified that his search warrant was approved, and headed to the airport, asking to see if Bodhi had gone out of the country.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!🤞🤞

Uh oh, Logan lied to Bodhi about who all asked if it was her that kidnapped him, but why?🤔🤔🤔🤔
