Semua Bab Love & Fate Series: The Thrown Away Girl: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Rory’s POVI blink my heavy eyes open before I quickly close them once again... How long have I been asleep? And why do I feel like I’ve just been pulled through the depths of hell?Am I late for work? Will Donna be mad at me? Will she fire me? I need my job!But then I hear a noise... One I definitely know is not from my home. I groan. The noise is going to either drive me crazy or give me a headache... it’s a toss up.A rhythmic beeping. What is going on?And then I feel a warmth spreading through my hand. I squeeze it trying to figure out what I’m holding. It’s comfortable and large and safe...“Aurora?” I hear a low growl.My eyes almost pop out of my head. “Colt!” My voice is scratchy and my throat hurts.“Hey, sweetheart. How are you feeling?” He leans over my face and smooths the hair from my eyes.“I-I’m so tired...” I groan. Everything is so... disorienting... “Where am I?” I ask.Colt grabs a large cup with a straw with his spare hand and puts it up to my lips. “Drink,” he i

"Good job! We're gonna work on your appetite while you are here," he winks at me.I get up to do the dishes, but he stops me. "Not now, I'll take care of it when you're sleeping. You look like your barely standing," he argues.And he is right. Even after I've slept at the hospital, I'm still exhausted.I nod my head in defeat. "Okay.""C'mon, Aurora. I'll show you your room," he says, helping me from the kitchen, with his arm securely around my waist.He leads me to a set of stairs and my steps falter, but before I can say anything, he's lifting me in his arms like I'm a child and marches up the steps.I must have looked hilarious because Colt is laughing at me once again. I like the sound of his laugh. It's carefree and comforting."You didn't actually think I'd make you climb the stairs, did you?" He snickers at me, carrying me down a hallway.And then he flicks on the light before he carries me into a cream colored room. The queen bed has a cream comforter with a floral pattern emb

I look over at him like a deer caught in the headlights. "Brad." I don't know why I'm so surprised, but I really am. I didn't even think about the silent alarm Colt insisted we had installed."You know the drill, Jack. Hands behind your back. And don't worry, Colt will be meeting us at the station," he smirks.15 minutes later I'm behind a cage facing my ex-best friend and business partner. His dark eyes are laser focused on me.And he looks livid."What the hell do you think you were doing at B&B Jack? There is nothing for you there. That computer is mine along with all the files. All your personal effects are at your house. You have no reason for breaking and entering into my building! And now you made me leave Rory all alone!" He snarls as he finishes his rant.There is no way in hell I'm actually going to say anything. I know my rights and one of them is to keep my damn mouth shut!I also can't seem to bring myself to meet his eyes. I don't know if it makes me a coward or not, but

I came home physically and mentally exhausted, but I couldn't sleep. So many thoughts were whirling around in my foggy brain. But only one stood out. I needed to take care of Aurora.And now I'm sitting here just watching the girl that has had me infatuated since the moment I laid eyes on her. I'm gonna blame all this on Nash! If he'd just waited until the damn divorce was finished I wouldn't be struggling with my thoughts and emotions. Part of me wants to be a good friend and just take care of her and the other part is fighting to claim her as my own.I'm pretty damn sure if I had never seen her, I'd still cut Belle and Jack off. I have no trust in them and if I can't trust them then I want nothing to do with them. It's that simple. I wish they could figure it out and stop blaming Aurora for something that literally has nothing to do with her.I'm so tired right now... I would give just about anything to cuddle up to Rory and rest my eyes for a bit. I'm really not planning on doing a

I can hear a deep chuckle and I blush. "Mornin' Sunshine. How are you feeling now?" He asks as he crosses the room. I don't dare pull my head out of my hiding spot! I would absolutely die of shame!"Um... I don't know yet," I admit. To tell the truth, the moment Colt stepped from the bathroom my mind skipped all my injuries and went straight to... other things. But now that he's mentioned it, I am starting to feel the aches and pains return.Another chuckle sends pleasant tingles down my spine. I wonder if he knows what he is doing to me? I doubt he would do this to me on purpose. He still has a wife to deal with after all. And while she is a bitch, I'll admit she is gorgeous. I would never compare to her."I'll be right back, Rory," he says on the way out the door.As soon as his footsteps retreat out of the room, I let myself sigh in relief. I lift my face out of his pillow and do the stupid teenager thing were you look at the door he'd just left from longingly, just waiting for him
