Everyone inside Kelly's looked up as Ric walked in carrying Elizabeth wrapped in a blanket.
"Oh, Thank God," Bobbie said as she rushed over to Ric. "Elizabeth Honey are you Ok?"
"I'm Fine, Ric is just being over-." Before Elizabeth could finish Ric interrupted.
"She's not fine. She is wet and has been in the cold for hours. She also has a hurt wrist, " Ric said a little annoyed at Elizabeth for being so stubborn.
"Then shouldn't you have taken her to the Hospital," asked Courtney as she took out to coffee cups and filled them for Ric and Elizabeth. "Here's some coffee."
"No, Elizabeth said. "Ric you promised" the panic already starting again.
"It's ok, I promised , I would bring you here and let Bobbie decide if you have to go to the hospital." Ric said. Looking over to Bobbie. "I am gonna take her up to my room. Could you please check and make sure she doesn't need to be in the Hospital."
Bobbie looked at Ric very carefully and then said, " I would be happy to, I'll be right up Courtney I know you are actually off but would you mind getting together soup and sandwiches for Elizabeth and Ric along with some coffee. Pack it to go so Ric can get it in a few minutes."
"Oh, sure I would be glad to help," Courtney said as she went into the kitchen.
Bobbie followed Ric upstairs carrying Elizabeth. He went into his room sat Elizabeth on the bed and then said, "I will be just outside."
Bobbie came out a few minutes later "All she really needs is a hot shower, some food and some sleep. I told her I would take her home but that just upset her. She doesn't want to be alone. I know she can stay at the brownstone," Bobbie said. "But she doesn't want to, leave you right now."
" I told her she an stay here until she feels a little stronger. It was the only way to get her out of that damn boxcar calmly", Ric said quietly, " I will take care of her."
"Do you think that is such a good idea? She seems to be clinging to you. This won't be fixed in one evening do you want to have to deal with this and her?"
"Bobbie, I have been friends with Elizabeth since before Christmas and we have been dating since New Years. I don't mind being here for her. It was my mistake that took her to her breaking point. I won't take advantage of her. She seems to need me and I want to be here."
'All right. Well I can't make Elizabeth do anything that she doesn't want to she is a grown woman. I will get you some extra bedding and towels. Oh and after she showers she will need her wrist wrapped. If its not better tomorrow she will need to have it looked at."
"I think I can manage an ace bandage." Ric said smiling.
"Ok I will get the towels and stuff. Then bring them back. I am glad you're helping Elizabeth". Bobbie said with a sad smile
"Thank you, for all your help Bobbie." he said as she turned and walked down the hall
Ric knocked on his own room door and then went in to find Elizabeth still sitting on his bed.
"Thank you." Elizabeth said tear in her eyes.
"It will be fine. I am happy to help. Now why don't I get you one of my T- shirts and my Robe and you can go take a shower and warm up." Ric said as he first walked to the closet for the robe and them to the dresser for a black T-shirt and sweat pants.
"Ok." Elizabeth said as she took the clothes from him and went into the bathroom.
Ric sat down at his desk. After all the panic and hurt he finally was able to stop and catch his breath. When he realized that he had hurt Elizabeth even if by accident it broke his heart. He was amazed at how quickly she had trusted him to help her and not hurt her while she was in her panic. After listening to her he was very honored by that trust.
The main question now was what to do next. He knew Elizabeth needed food and sleep. In her desperation she was clinging to him but instead of being annoyed he realized how much she meant to him and he swore to himself he would be there for her until she was strong again.
He also realized he was angry, angry with himself for hurting her by accident and angry at Lucky for upsetting her and hurting her wrist He realized that Lucky was a hot headed but he still should have known better. His pushing Elizabeth just seemed to have made everything worse. Most off all his was angry with the Bastard who used and degraded her when she was just starting her life and because he never had to pay.
He was lost in his thoughts when he realized that Elizabeth was calling to him, "Ric," she said from the open bathroom door.
"Yes,' Ric answered looking up. " Is everything alright?"
"I. I .hurt my right wrist and since I am right handed I can't seem to get the buttons." She answered turning red in the face.
"It was Lucky who hurt your wrist not you. I can help you or go get Bobbie which would you like?" Ric asked.
"Would you please help me I am so tired and I really don't want make a bigger deal than this is," Elizabeth said quietly.
Sure he smiled at her and walked to wear she was in the bathroom. He started to unbutton her blouse that had several tiny buttons. He noticed she was shaking again so he talked a he unbuttoned her blouse trying to help calm her. "I don't mind helping you." He said smiling. " We have already established that I won't bite so it is alright."
"Thank you." she said looking up at him her eyes so tired and full of pain. She seemed so little as she stood there barefooted without her heels.
He looked her into eyes and said, " Ok blouse is all done now the button on your jeans", which he reached down to unbutton. His warm hands brushed her bare stomach a she gasped a little. " Sorry," he said smiling. And she smiles back.
"Ok turn around." Ric said as he handed her the towel.
"Why,"she asked.
"So I can unhook your Bra silly. If you can't work the buttons then you can't get the bra hooks. Then you will just call me and make me get up again.." His tone was teasing but he was at war with him self through all of this because he had wanted Elizabeth since the day he saw the paint in her hair. Being with her, this close and basically undressing her was a great temptation standing behind her to undo the bra he could smell her hair just as he could that day. He shut his eye and took a deep breath. When he opened them what he saw in the mirror was a beautiful woman who had been pushed to far and when he looked in her eyes he saw so much pain. He unhooked her bra and said, " Ok enough stalling now Elizabeth get in the shower."
She leaned back into him as she laughed and said ,"Thank you."
He walked out of the bathroom and after shutting the door he leaned against it for a moment taking a couple of deep breaths. He couldn't help but hope that she used all the hot water as he smiled and went back to sit in the chair
