Serendipity

chapter 23

"Take off your shirt!" I said.

I looked up when he didn't make any move.

"Hunter!" I said his name.

"I didn't take you as that kind of girl," he said with a teasing smirk and I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. I blushed at his words.

"I... not like that. Please let me treat your wound" I said and this time he complied. He removed his jacket first and then his shirt. I gasped at what I saw, his whole upper body was covered with tattoos. He has six packs, yes I counted them. Then my eyes found the bloody wound and my eyes widen.

"Who stabbed you?" I barely whispered as my eyes were stuck on the large cut.

"Stand up, we are going to the hospital," I said as I stand and held his hand pulling him up with me but he barely moved.

"No," he said and I looked at him as if he is crazy.

"What do you mean 'No'?" I yelled at him.

"You are injured and you need help" I tried to put some sense in him.

"Aren't you becoming a doctor yourself?" He said and I looked at him.

"Yes, but I am only in my first year..." I told him.

"Just wrap it up, I know you can do that," he said and leaned back on the couch. I looked at him for a moment when I realized he won't budge I sighed and sat down. I start working on his wound, first I clean all the blood.

"You need stitches" I grimaced.

"And I am not doing that," I said immediately looking into his eyes.

"Then just wrap it with the bandage," he said nonchalantly and I felt my blood boil at him. How is he so calm right now? If it were me instead of him I would be screaming right now.

"You..." I wanted to curse him but I stopped. I went to grab a glass of water and gave him some painkillers so he won't feel the pain that much. It's the only option right now.

"Take these!" I said and he do so as I said without any complaint. I can't believe it's the same, Hunter.

Then I pulled out the stitching needle and start working on his cut. My hands were shivering as it was my first time, but I can't leave it like that. I know he won't go to the hospital.

"Relax kitten! You can do that" he said with such gentleness that I couldn't help but do as he says. My shivering stops as I start stitching the cut up. He didn't even flinch once, does he even feel pain?

"It's done!" I said and washed my hand then I came back and put some ointment on the bruises on his face. He watched me the whole time without even blinking. But surprisingly I wasn't uncomfortable at all, I felt at peace around him.

"What happened?" I asked once again, this time hoping he would answer.

"I got in a fight," he said. I wanted to ask more but one look at his face and I stopped. I know he won't go into detail.

"Did you eat?" I asked him, I don't know why I am so worried about him but when I saw him like this I couldn't stop myself. I felt so scared at that moment.

"You can cook?" He asked with one of his eyebrows raised and I giggled.

"No, but I can order," I said with a shrug.

"I am also hungry," I told him as I walked to my phone and ordered food for us. My mind was screaming at me to not be alone with a stranger but my heart is telling me that he is not a stranger. He had helped me many times and I am happy that I could help him in some way.
