Chapter 7

As I woke up in the morning I was beaten. I shouldn't have gotten to bed. It most definitely would be better no sleep than one hour of sleep.

I take a quick shower and than I go downstairs and leave a note for Liam and Natalie that I went to the RC ( rehabilitation center). I didn't change clothes since I didn't have one but I have a uniform anyway so it is not a problem.

My arm hurts a little bit from where he grabbed me but I will live. The arms are harder to cover up, but I can always say I hurt myself at work or something. 

Because of my lack of sleep, I stop to get some strong coffee. I get the biggest one they have and a muffin I will have time today since my first patient is Ethan. 

I change grab my coffee, my muffin, and the books I got at the library yesterday and go to Ethan's room.

I knock and go in. Ethan is actually sitting on the edge of the bed for the first time. And it is the first time I see his stump. It is below the knee and it is covered with bandages.

˝Hi!˝ I say as our eyes meet. ˝You are up,˝ I say surprised. 

˝Aren't you Sherlock Holmes.˝ he says with a little amusement in his voice.

˝Yes yes I am , ˝ I smile at him.

˝Soooo Ethan are you ready to get  to work with me? ˝ I ask enthusiastically.

˝Not really but I don't want you sitting here for a whole hour or more ˝ He says, but I can see he is in a slightly better mood.

˝So I thought that today we could go to the indoor garden ?˝ I say hoping he will not object me.

˝Really that is your idea of work ?˝ He hisses and I can see that he is starting to resist.

˝Yea I need to do something there and I thought you could join me, ˝ I tell him a small lie. 

˝I can't go...˝He says a little more quite.

˝And why not? ˝ I insist.

˝Becasue the physiotherapist took my leg prosthetic away to do some changes to it..˝ He says now a little louder than it has to be.

˝Okay so we will take the wheelchair or the crutches the choice is yours...˝ I say proud of my quick thinking.

˝I don't want to be in a fucking wheelchair!˝ he says and again getting louder.

˝Okay crutches it is... I will be right back˝ I say and put down my things and practically run out to get them.

˝You are not dressed already? ˝ I say as I walk back in.

˝I thought that is why you are here˝ He smirks at me.

˝And why would I do that ? You seem perfectly capable to do it yourself.˝ I say and I know he is teasing me again... not this time mister.

˝But it would be so much better if you would slide this pants up my legs..˝ he is looking at me trying to intimidate me.

I do feel a blush on my cheeks but I turn around grabe his clothes and put them on the bed, right next to him.

I sit down and start to drink my coffee. He will do this and he will do this on his own even if we wait here all day.

˝So what are you gonna ignor me now?˝ He says clearly disappointed that his little tricks don't work on me. 

˝No I am just waiting for you to finish getting dressed,˝ I say and look at him ˝ or should I rather say I am waiting for you to start getting sressed.˝

He rolls his eyes and starts to undress. He pulls down his PJ shirt and his body is even more ripped than I thought... He also has more tattoos covering his back and upper arms. I feel my cheeks getting warmer and red. He puts on his shirt. Than he procedes to take down his pantce and I quickly look away.

I know he saw this becasue I hear a small chuckle coming form him. 

˝So do you have any trouble getting dressed?˝ I ask still looking away trying to get some info for my report with his daily activities.

˝Why don't you look and see.˝ He says and can feel the smirk on him.

˝Oh that is okay I want tu give you some privacy,˝ I say. 

˝I mean I am done I don't know who are you waiting for.˝ 

˝Oh you are,˝ and I turn around to see him standing with the crutches and in his V-neck black shirt, and grey sweatpants and a flip flop? 

˝ Don't you have any better choice od footwear? ˝ I say pointing to his leg. 

He just raises his eyebrow and looks at me.

˝You can fall so easly in this!˝ 

˝Just becasue you are clumsy dosen't mean that I am,˝ He says in emotionless voice.

I don't have time to argue with him, I will  just stay close to him and watch out that he doesn't fall. And tomorrow I will get him some better shose.

˝Okay lets go,˝ I say as I pick up my things.

We walk out the door and down to the elevator and I can see Alex from acros the hall. Her face shows mix feeling such as shock and pride. 

We reach the elevator and he presses the button, I can barely hold everything. The bag with book on my left shoulder is slipping down and I can't correct it. To my surprise Ethans says

˝Give me the bag,˝ pretending like it is no big deal. 

˝No you it is okay I can carry it!˝ I say becasue it is not safe to carry this bag with the clutches.

As we step into the elevator he leans on the wall and takes my bag and puts it on his shoulder.

˝No....˝ I am cut short before I can even finish

˝A thank you would have been enough,˝ he says and the door of the elevator open and he walks out firs.

A small smile creeps on my face and my mind goes ˝PROGRESS˝
