My Undoing

Chapter 10- Double Exposure

Olivia's P.o.v

After what seemed like forever, a doctor put stitches in my lip and I finished my X-rays I'm finally being taken back to the room. I just wanna get dressed so I can go home and shower.I feel absolutely disgusting,dirty and I'm pretty sure I smell like a dumpster fire. When the nurse brings me in I see Mr.Blake sitting at the edge of the bed staring intently at his phone, once he sees me he gives me a warm inviting smile.

.." So Ms.Vega I see that you're alive, the doctor said you're okay. Are we ready to head home?.." I notice there are bags beside him, when did he leave?. He sees my confusion and smiles...."I thought you might want to go home not covered in blood and vomit...." I look down towards the floor sheepishly, god I feel massively stupid right now..." Hey I was only kidding.Once you get changed we can get you home okay?..." He picks up one of the black bags and winks at me.

I give him a small but extremely painful smile. As I walk over he hands the bag to me and I look inside, He can't be serious, wait what if it doesn't fit, Jesus what if I try it on and rip it? ..."I hope you don't mind I took a look at your clothes and sent your sizes to my assistant. There's some pants, and a tank as well as a sweater so you'll be warm. There's also a jacket and a pair of shoes, and... and under I mean a br.. anything else you may need. " He scratces his head in discomfort.."She also brought you some toiletries in thers too..." I try to suppress a laugh when I see him stubble with his words but then immediately feel weird that my sorta boss picked out my underwear. I look inside the bag some more and notice there are 2 of everything and confusion reaches my face..."I wasn't sure what color you would like or what your style was exactly so I had Avery get you some options..."

I clear my throat, just thinking about speaking hurts but I have to say something. In all the strength I have I look at him with as much sincerity as I can muster...." This is really nice, but too much I can't take this..." I try to hand the bag back to him, but he refuses it...."Olivia don't be ridiculous, plus what am I gonna do with a bunch of women's clothes? I can't return them, so either you wear them or they'll go to waste. I'll give you some privacy, and when we're ready we'll get you home ..."

I decide on a pair of black leggings with mesh inserts, a black tank and the softest lavender pull over sweater I've ever felt and a dark denim jacket. I look at the tags and some of this stuff cost more than I make in a week.When I open the second bag my face begins to burn with embarrassment. In the bag there are 2 sets of underwear with a matching bra. The first is black and purple lace the other is a nude color with emerald green lace overly. There is also a sports bra that is sexier than anything I've ever worn at the gym. I pick the nude set and get cleaned up in the bathroom. My face is swollen and completely covered in bruises , I look like I just went ten rounds with a heavyweight. Even Leo doesn't do this much damage. I find a pair grey slip on sneakers and comb my hair. Once I'm done I put everything in one bag, then I notice I can't find my clothes...sh*t where's my jacket, my shirt... where are my shoes? I hear a knock on the door and I see Mr.Blake come in holding a bottle of water and a CVS bag.

.."Mr.Blake have you seen my clothes..,my dirty clothes?.." My voice is strained and raspy, I pray that they didn't throw them away...."It's Owen, out of the office call me Owen.I had my assistant Avery take them to have them dry cleaned,I'll have her drop them off in the morning. Here take this, it'll help with the pain and this one will prevent infection..." I take the pills and take a sip of water and wince at the pain. Grabbing the bags he gestures towards the door. The car ride is quiet but relaxing, and I'm just so tired at this point. When we get to my building I tell him it's a four floor walk up, he smiles and says he can handle it. When we get to my door I turn around and see that he hasn't even broken a sweat..."Mr.Blake you really don't need to watch me, you've done too much already. I'm sure you have more important things to do than babysit me..." He looks at me for a moment the smiles...."It's Owen,please.I'm hungry, are you hungry? You should eat, I definitely should eat. Do you wanna order or should I?..."

I let out a small, embarrassed laugh and unlock the door; when we walk in I notice the kitchen light is on so is the bedroom. I didn't leave those on when I left.

.."Hello? ...." That's when I see him walk out of my bedroom..
