Meeting Elise
1007 Words
I'm standing on the corner of Pine Street and Market Street wondering which restaurant I should go to for lunch. There is a nice sub shop down Pine Street and a nice bagel shop on Market Street. I chose the bagel shop and started walking. As I get close to the shop, a car comes speeding around the corner and is aimed right at me. I am all of a sudden picked up and swung around to the other side of the sidewalk away from the car. The man who moved me got hit instead and is lying on the sidewalk near the road. I jump up to check on him. I am a registered nurse, so I know what to check and look for. I check his pulse, which is steady. I move over his body, carefully testing spots and find a few broken ribs, a broken arm, and a nasty cut on his head.
I call an ambulance and ride in the back to the hospital with him, holding his hand for comfort. After we reach the hospital, I hold back and let them do their job with the promise that they will come get me when they are done. I want to be there when he wakes up to make sure he is OK. I would like to know his name and where he is from.
I asked the nurse at the nurses station if I could get some information. The nurse looks up at me and asks what Is it I'm looking for. I proceeded to tell her that it was my husband who was brought in, but I have amnesia and can't remember his name. She looked up at me with searching eyes and then asked me what it was I needed to know. I asked the nurse if she knew his name, I knew I had amnesia because it is tempo from an accident I had. My husband told me me I would be ok and would remember everything again soon. I just want to be able to say his name when he wakes up and sees me. I need to see the smile on his face. The nurse nods her head and whispers to me, "His name is Viktor and he is The Black Dragon King." I gasp and put my hand over my mouth and a single tear falls over my cheeck. The nurse takes me in her arms for a hug and tells me it will be ok. I am walked into his room after he gets done being checked and I sit beside the bed with his hand in mine. I really hope he wakes up soon so I feel better and I know he is ok.
As time slowly ticks by, a few hours later Viktor wakes up and his eyes land on mine. I'm tired so mine are red and puffy, I have been crying some because I didn't know what to think about what I was doing here in the first place. I don't know this man but something is pulling him to me and I want to see what itis. Call it curiosity, call it loneliness. He has beautiful eyes that I could get lost in very quickly. They have a question in them right now and I know that question. Who are you and why are you in my room? He just hasn't said anything yet so I start to tell him what happened. I introduce myself as best I can and tell him I was heading towards the restuarant to get my lunch when a vehichle comes around the corner and almost hits me. I tell him that he pulled me out of the way but got injured himself. I called an ambulance and we are in the hospital in his room. I waited for him this whole time because I was worried about him. And I ended the story by telling him, "Thank you." He blinks a couple of times and smiles an amazing smile and says,"Well,I think I need to thank you instead." I blush from his staring and excuse myself for a minute. I walk out of the room and tell the nurse he's awake. She asked if he said anything and I told her he said thank you to me. I told her I would be back later and to let him know that. She smilled and I left.
I returned a couple hours later and went to his room, but I stopped at his door before going in. I heard him talking to someone and the conversation was tense. I didn't want to eavesdrop but then I heard him say," Well, she did save my life. I think I owe it to her to get to know her. I am looking for someone special to be with. I won't know if she the one unless I ask her out and find out." The other person said, "I understand how you may feel but you don't know her name, where she is from, or why she is here. Don't you think it's weird that she happened to be on the corner where the Prince gets hit by a truck? You know you have enemies, maybe someone planted her there. She could be working with any one of your enemies." I shake my head and go to turn around but before I get too far he replies, "I won't know unless I see her again and get to know her. I'm not some young dragon who knows nothing about life, I'm the King of Dragons. Don't talk to me like I'm a youngling." The other person back peddles fast, apologizing for insulting the king and just reiterates the urgency of the matter. I walk back to the nurses station and leave my name and number for Viktor. I tell her to give it to him when his visitor leaves. I then walk out of the hospital and wait to see what happens. I hope I hear form Viktor.
