Christian wasted no timing driving to the hospital. I curled up with his jacket in the front seat. Christian's jacket was warm and had the most amazing smell. I found myself inhaling his sexy musk over and over again as we drove. Justin remained silent in the backseat. I didn't look to see if he was awake yet or not. If he was awake i'm sure he would be too embarrassed to say, or so i assumed. He woke up suddenly taking both Christian and I by surprise.
"Ohhhhhh baby your a firework" Justin sang loudly and off key.
"Ahhh" I cried unexpectedly.
"What the hell is that?" Christian asked angrily.
"Come on show me whaaaaaat your worth" Justin sang.
"arrrrr" I roared in frustration.
"We are almost there, Ana" Christian assured me. I could tell he felt the same way i did.
"Make-up goes on on..." Justin sang loudly.
Christian smiling widely in my direction as we entered the hospital parking lot. Justin was a loud and annoying distraction, but for a moment the world stood still when we looked at each other. He gave me a seductive look through the corner of his eye that said he could not wait to get me alone. I felt my face become red hot as i blushed. I wanted this sexy man, a man that i barely knew. A part of me felt guilty for having those feelings. I imagined how gorgeous his body must look underneath those clothes. He was my handsome savior and i wanted to reward him for his efforts. We had only gone out once but if he went for a kiss i knew i would not refuse. He could whisk my body away to sexual paradise and i would be an all too willing participant. He filled my dreams at night and it took every bit of self-control in my body to keep my composure when i was with him. I didn't want him to think i was the kind of girl that gave it away on the first date.
Christian parked the car in the parking lot in front of the hospital. Justin stopped his loud off-key singing only after he was out of the car and in the dark parking lot. I helped Christian get Justin into the front door of the hospital. He grabbed me suddenly swinging my around as though we were at a ball in a Palace. Christian quickly intervened and placed himself in between Justin and I. Already he seemed so protective of me, it was sexy as hell. Christian checked Justin in to the emergency room while i leafed through his wallet to find his health card card and insurance. I sat with Justin in the waiting room while Christian spoke to the woman at the desk.
"This is probably the best thing thing to happen to you. Now, you will get the help you need" I reassured him.
"I feel great, Ana" Justin replied "I don't need the hospital"
"Just let them check you out then if you don't need any help they will let you go. Simple right" I offered.
"I don't want to waste anyones time. There are real sick people out there Ana" Justin explained
I breathed a long sigh of defeat. He didn't get it. I just needed to keep him calm while Christian finished up checking him in. Bi-Polar people usually had very little insight so it didn't surprise me at all that he thought that everything was fine. Christian came over to where Justin and i were sitting approximately 5 minutes later.
"It done. He just has to wait here. The wait isn't long about 30 minutes" Christian said "Let's go!"
"Should we stay with him?" I asked with concern.
"The mental health nurse is coming to do an assessment before he sees the doctor, so i think it's unnecessary" Christian explained.
"OK!" I answered getting up from the waiting room chair.
Without another word Christian and i walked out to his car. I continued to hug his pleasant smelling jacket close to my cold body. I was still slightly damp and cold but i felt much warmer than i did right after climbing out of the lake. I wasn't sure if he was angry or scared, the date was something that we were both looking forward to. I knew that any plans he had for the evening were null and void. He stopped in front of the passenger side of the Mercedes as though giving serious consideration if he should open the door.
"Do you want to go home?" He asked in a low voice
"It is late and i'm still quite cold. However, i'm more disappointed that i didn't get to go on that date with you" I answered
"I had reservations at a sushi restaurant but that was 2 hours ago. However, if your up for it we could try to find a place to eat that's open late" Christian offered.
"Is it ok if i look like this" I said pointing out my wet appearance.
"You look stunning" He answered.
"Thank you Christian" I laughed.
"Now do you still want that date or not" He teased.
"Lead the way" I smiled.
Christian pressed a button his key chain to unlock all the doors. I could tell he was pleased. His smiled took over his whole face, as though i had given him the answer that he was hoping for. Christian drove around the downtown core looking for something that suited his fancy. I was willing to eat anything at this point but i got the feeling that he might be more picky.
"Any suggestions?" Christian asked
"Depends if you want some fast food or a sit down restaurant" She answered
"I prefer a sit down restaurant but i would go anywhere with you" he said sweetly.
"How about McDonald's?" I joked
"Is that what you want?" Christian asked surprised.
"I like the coffee but the burgers aren't great. It is open 24 hours" I said weighing the pros and cons.
"Ok! McDonald's it is" Christian declared as he sped up towards our date destination.
Christian POV
I wanted to make sure that Justin was dropped off at the hospital so that he could get the help that he needed and that Ana was safe. Those were my two main objectives. I knew that Ana was incredibly caring and resourceful, but i still worried. We were amidst a difficult situation. I felt irritated that my long awaited date with Ana was disrupted by this sudden turn of events. I was hoping to get to know her a bit better and if i was lucky i would get a kiss at the end of the night. I felt angry and frustrated with Justin. It was obvious that he needed help but why today? My plans were ruined. Could I reschedule my date with Ana? I wanted to keep my negative feelings to myself because i knew that i would come off as selfish and pretentious. I decided to stay quiet for most of the car ride to the hospital. Ana was still wrapped tightly in my jacket. I could tell that she was cold but her shaking had slowed down to a minimum and she wasn't stuttering as much. If she wanted to get checked out she could but i didn't think it was necessary. She was an adult and she knew her body best, she needed medical attention i'm sure that she would have mentioned it. I wanted to get Justin checked in as soon as possible so that Ana and i could be alone. I wasted no time getting him in to the emergency. I was impressed by Ana's ability to talk him down and keep him calm it was as though she had special abilities that even she was not aware of.
"It's done. He just has to wait here. The wait is only 30 minutes" I said trying not to sound to impatient.
"OK!" She answered in agreeance.
I still wanted to take her out. My perfect date plans were ruined but i was sure i could find someplace to take her where we could spend some time together. I didn't want her to feel pressure to go out because i knew that she had just gone through a traumatic experience. She was still quite cold and most likely very tired. There was no harm in asking, she could always say no.
"Do you want to go home?" I asked
"It is late and i'm still quite cold. However, i'm more disappointed that i didn't get to go on that date with you" She said
"I had reservations at a sushi restaurant but that was 2 hours ago. However, if your up for it we could try to find a place to eat that's open late" I said
Her face brightened at my offer. She wanted to go out as much as i did. I wanted a chance to show her i was potential boyfriend material. She was giving our date another chance and i could not be more excited. I had no other plans at this point but with i figured we would find something.
"Is it ok if i look like this" She asked worried.
She was absolutely stunning no matter what she was wearing. She was one of those rare female beauty's that didn't need make-up to look red carpet ready.
"You are stunning" I stated proudly.
She smiled at my firm declaration. She gave me the go ahead to start our late night date. I was clueless as of what she wanted to eat and i didn't want to be driving around all night.
"Any Suggestions?" I asked.
"How about McDonald's" She asked.
Is this a test i thought? She must know that i have the money to fly her to another city for coffee if i wanted to. McDonald's seemed so far below my standards. I agreed to her request. I had never been to a McDonald's before. I was driving but Ana was in the driver's seat of this date. My only goal was to build pleasant memories with the girl of my dream's.
