12 Luck is it?

The gentleman has finished wrapping my twisted foot with the bandage.

“I have applied for first aid, but it is still better to check it in the hospital.” I watch him as he packs the bondages and pain killer back into the box.

“Thank you for this Sir, I appreciate this.” Then he offered me the frappe and cake that I had ordered. It was left there by the staff earlier and she never came back after delivering the first aid kit to us.

"By the way, what were you looking at earlier.'' The sudden question made me look up at him, as I viewed him above, he looked like a proper gentleman. His eyes caught me first, it's like a greyish black hue that's so rare to see, plus he has long and dark eyelashes that even women will envy. However it doesn't make him less masculine, as his face is equally can be compared to those handsome models in Vogue Magazine. He has a mysterious aura around him. 

Maybe I' ve been staring so much that he noticed that he even turned his eyes and smirked, and I felt embarrassed. He must have noticed that I am admiring his handsomeness.

"That, Sir… I am just looking at the design of the second floor." I blurted out, I also totally forgot why I am drawn and looking upstairs. The incident earlier made me forget so I just said some random things. And I didn't expect him to ask me more. 

"Really? Are you a designer? Perhaps you have any suggestions on the designs?" Whoa! That's out of nowhere questions, and I don't know what to say. 

"No I am not Sir, I am just curious." I know he's anticipating an interesting answer but what I said is really lame and the conversation won’t continue on. I am expecting him to be bored and will leave me be. Then he pulled a chair and sat beside me. 

"By the way, may I introduce myself to you, my name is Denzell Edelgard. Would my lady give me the honor of knowing thy name?" Oh, what a formal way of asking for my name, I was taken aback, but gave my name anyway. 

"My name is Barrett Adelaide." 

"Oh, that's a lovely name." I blushed, no one has ever complimented my name as lovely, mostly would be its weird or musculine sound.

"You think so? People always confuse my first name and surname." 

"Yes I mean it." and he gave me a curved smile that every girl will be fawning over. 

"Are you from this area?" It's not that I'm uncomfortable but he's been asking too much or he just wanted to change this awkward situation into a good flow one? The talk continued between us.

"Uhm.. No, I am just on a walk and felt hungry." 

"Where do you live?" 

"Eh… Why do you ask?" 

"So I know where I shall drop you off after we go to the hospital." 

"Hospital?" What is he talking about!?

"Yes, we need to make sure that your injury is safe already." 

"No need to take such lengths. I can book a cab." He's a bit of a pushover. 

"I won't be able to ease my worry if that's the case." 

"Why would you care too much?" I blurted out that I regret fast as well. I don't mean to be rude when he is being nice, but it just seems so suspicious at how he insists on it and besides we just exchange our names. 

"I am responsible for you so I have to make sure that you will be at most care.” he looked at me with a sincere smile, then continued on “It is not bad to accept the kindness of people around you.” Since I have run away from my foster parents and am living on my own,I began to distrust the adults around me. Also, I have never heard a person care for my well being like this except from my deceased mother.

Remember my child, even if the whole would be evil,just believe that there’s always a good person who'll be willing to stretch out their hands on those who are in need.

Maybe, it is still not too late, besides after this, we won’t meet again. He is just being a dutiful adult and will help me who’s in need.

“Thank you for that Sir, I would gladly appreciate it.” At times like this, I should accept his offer of help, since it’s true and he has a point somehow.

After I finished my drink and cake, he helped me to get down the stairs. Good thing that the store was about to close so less people were in there. I was once again carried on a princess style that really makes me embarrassed. He is tall and has a strong build, I could feel the hard muscles beneath his expensive looking long sleeve polo. Even when we exit the door the employees assisted us and even carried my backpack.

I do expect him to have a car since he’s a working adult, so I really didn’t know what to say when a black luxury car stopped in front of me and mister emerged from it.

“Hey, isn't that the new Bugatti?”

“Whoa, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, I thought it’s not out yet in the market?

Bugatti? I think I have heard it before, I am not interested in cars, I cannot afford one in the first place. But then, seeing those people around admiring this one, and this person who stepped out of the driver’s seat must not be a simple one.

Just who is this person?

“Come in Miss Barrett.” The people around us were in awe of his gentle manner and politeness as he opened the door of the car and even assisted me to walk. My hands are sweating, what did I get into this time? As I sat in the passenger seat, he even helped me to put on my seatbelt. The car interior is more luxurious than any other, I have nothing to compare for it’s my first time on a luxury one. I can still tell that this is a million dollar car.

I was told to relax, however the more I spent inside of this car, the more anxious I got. Sometimes he would ask me some random questions and I would answer. We reached the hospital after a twenty minute ride. At once the car stopped, a few staff hurriedly assisted us and even brought a wheelchair so that I won’t have a hard time walking.

It was actually really fast that we only walked our way into the doctor’s office without any prior process cue. During the check and the XRay of my foot, it is normal and a simple injury, however I still need to take rest as my body has actually been weak ever since I was born.

However it is just a simple sprain but the doctor insisted on casting my foot. Now I have a single crutch as a support as well, and Mister Denzell supports me as me. He's been paying attention and utmost care to me from the start.

I don’t hate the feeling, however, I can’t refrain from thinking why?

Ever since we arrived, a lot of people have been gathering around us, in front of the entrance and even there is this doctor who checked up on me, there were many others wearing a white coat surrounding us and who were on standby.

“You are lucky Miss Adelaide that your injury isn’t that serious, but I suggest you take a few more days off and lessen your activity.”

“I understand, Doctor, thank you.” 

“And Mr. Edelgard, it's been a while, thank you for visiting our humble hospital to seek treatment.” The doctor must have been so happy to see this man.

“It was a pleasure, and I am the one to extend my gratitude for checking up on her. He politely shakes hands with the doctor. They still talk a bit more about a new cure passed on bill and other medical staff. 

I refused again but he immediately opened the car door and helped me to settle inside. I did not object anymore, he is now going to drop me off at my place.

“Mister Denzell, thank you for the hospital and the drive. I appreciate it very much.”

“It’s fine, you can get in your apartment now.”

“You’ve done so much for me today, and I’ll apologize for taking too much of your time.” I deeply bowed my head as a sincere apology to this busy man, I have learnt from the people’s reaction at the hospital earlier that he is somehow a big time business man that supports the hospital, so that is why I am immediately and over cared.

“It’s fine, I have a lot of fun, it’s been centuries since I got curious like this.” it almost whispered but somehow it caught my ears, and I immediately raised my head to see him already inside his car.

“Until we meet again Miss Barrett.”
