Stay with Me by Awesomekristii (jenna bush book club .TXT) 📖

At least I have a place to sleep.

I don’t even know how long I could protect myself. If they get hold of me, I couldn’t imagine in my darkest nightmares what would happen. I felt his eyes occasionally on me, and it made me shiver a little. His scorching gaze felt like the hot blazes of fire, and I could feel my heart thudding inside hard.

Later that night, I walked into my shower, with the crutches obviously, still, now I was needing them. I hanged my clothes on the hanger above before grabbing the toothbrush and brushing my teeth.

It made me feel so guilty that everything here I use wasn’t mine. None of it is. Not even the clothes I was wearing. It pained my heart at the mere thought. Why did I even escape? Just to suffer more in poverty, homelessness and jobless.

I adjusted myself in a towel and limped towards the bath tub, and bend a little down to check the water. I had already kept my crutches outside the bathroom door a little near to the walk in closet.

Yes this room even have that. I couldn’t estimate how much loaded this guy was.

I touch the water and with the satisfied coldness I grabbed the soap but unfortunately it slipped from my fingers and before I know my right foot-uninjured one slipped over it and before I could protect myself I fell into the bathtub. My butt landing on the ceramic surface and my legs dangling over the edges.

Jesus! It hurts!

I could feel the sudden strain to the foot and the thump sound on my landing. My eyes burned with the new pain to this already injured one.

Give me a break already.

I tried to lift myself up but with the soap on the surface it’s so very difficult. I placed my palms over the edges and tried to put myself up but I could place my feet on the slippery food.

What will I do now?

I couldn’t call for Liliana, she must have gone back. She lives a few minutes away, with her another daughter she adopted five years back. I hissed again at my inability.

While I struggled with this, I saw my bathroom door opened and a dishevelled looking Damien walked inside. He was in his sweatpants and a grey t-shirt. I felt my cheeks on fire at how embarrassing this situation was.

“What happened?” He walked towards me, his eyebrows furrowed.

“I slipped.” I mumbled trying to move or even tilt my leg a little. He sighed shaking his head. And before I know he was lifting me up same as in the morning and I couldn’t help my groan internally at myself. How much more awkward could this be. His huge muscled arms wrapped me almost like a cocoon before walking out from bathroom and landing me on the bed.

I almost thought my leg to hit the bed hard when he placed it softly on the bed, his eyes fixed at the wet braces. He glided his fingers over it almost not touching and scrutinised it. My almost wet hair and the wet towel I’m wearing made the bed almost damp. My eyes landed on his t-shirt which has a huge wet patch on it because of me.

When suddenly I realised the situation we were in.

I was just in a towel, and visible drenched with from head to toe. Good Heavens! If my cheeks were on fire before it’s on like a bonfire or something. My wet hair sticking all over me, and I could already feel the closeness we were in few minutes back. He was carrying me just in a towel.

I peeked in over my lashes and saw him closing his eyes tight and hissing out a ‘fuck' his words not me. My towel was just covering my two goodies and lady part, because my thighs is practically exposed out. He ran his hand through his hair, before rising up from the bed.

He walked into the closet, and before I could even warn him, he has already opened my underwear drawer and when I heard him cussing out a few more words. “Goddammit.” He closed it almost like a bang and opened the closet before grabbing a long tee for me and walked out. He passed me that which I took gladly.

“Wear this, and…” He glanced at my feet, “if it pains let me know. I will call Eliza.” I didn’t dare to speak anything else except a ‘Okay.’

He soon turned around and walked out from the room.

And I sat there baffled at just what happened.
