The others nod while I am still…dumbfounded about what had just happened. The pain on my hand was stinging yet it was becoming numb with bowling as reality started to kickin.Â
As Kaleb rushed me to the purse’s office with everyone gaping at us, I couldn’t help but shrink in his arms, utterly mortified and terified.Â
“I got you baby. It’s okay.” Kaleb kissed the top of my head and shoulder opened the door. The office was empty but he set me down on the smart bed.Â
His brows are pinched, his teeth gritting “Where is that dann nurse?” He cursed, looking around the room.Â
“She doesn’t get here yet.” I said faintly, not even sure if he heard me or not. My voice was so frailÂ
However he proved that he heard me when his eyes whip down to me, his brows furrowing more into a frown of displeasure and imitat. “Why does always show up late?” He hissed under his breath and started moving around the room in search of whateverÂ
My brows joined as peared at him making a mess in the office. “What are you doing?”Â
“I’m going to disinfect the wound and try to keep it from bleeding until she gets here. Seeing you hurt is hurting me flower,” he rubbed a hand down hisÂ
face. “It feels like can’t breathe”Â
He cursed under his breath, rummaging through a draw “Why is this woman not organized!”Â
I worriedly looked at him, concerned that he seem to be not fully here. “Kaleb?” said softly, trying to get a hold of his attentionÂ
But Kaleb seem to be set on finding the stuff he may need to disinfect my wound and had not heard me.Â
“Kaleb?”Â
Still no answer. I hit my bottom lip, my heart squeering with more worry.Â
“Sam” I said a little louder and this seem to do the trick. He froze, gripping a small bottle and a cotton ballÂ
He turned to me, his eyes lost. Wordlessly he makes his way back to me, his eyes never leaving mine. His silence was concerning as he opened the bottle and started working on my cut gently.Â
However after a few minutes of cleaning around the wound, Kaleb brought my hand to his mouth and kissed it softly.Â
My heart thuds.Â
