Chapter 13: Lost or Found?
I am sleeping peacefully until I feel Richard nuzzling me neck trying to wake me up.
"Wake up gorgeous", he says.
"Nooo, let's stay in bed today", I mumble still tired from last night.
Richard chuckles, "As much as I would love to I have to work and you have class", he says.
I groan, "Fine", I say.
Richard gets up from the bed and picks up his clothes from the floor. I decide to get up as well. A smile creeps on my lips as I am in perfect view of his naked ass and I giggle.
"What's so funny?" Richard asks amused.
"Oh nothing just enjoying the view", I say.
Richard chuckles, "Same here", he says and glances at my naked body and I blush.
"Perv", I say.
"Only for you baby", he says.
I kiss his cheek and walk to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower, would you like to join me?" I ask and Richard races to the bathroom.
After a very long shower with Richard we finally got ready for our day. Richard went to work while I went to the university. I convinced Jim not to follow me around campus and to come pick me up at the end of the day.
I walk to my psychology class and sit in my usual seat next to Donna.
"Kori! I missed you!" she yells and gives me a hug.
I giggle,"Hey Donna I missed you too!" I say.
Donna smiles, "You look different ", she says and she studies my face.
"I do?" I ask. Although I did feel different now that I was with Richard, I felt more relaxes and happy.
"OMG you had sex!" Donna yells.
"SHUT UP!" I yell and look around luckily there are only a few people in class for now.
"Sorry", Donna says and lowers her voice, "I knew you had an afterglow, congrats I see your relationship with Richard is going very well", she says and laughs.
I roll my eyes at her and smile, "Yea it is", I say.
After class Donna, Jim, and I decide to go back to the dorm and get some lunch. I explained to Donna about the bodyguard situation she thought it was odd at first but then got over it.
We end up making some chicken alfredo and start doing our homework.
"Have they caught Xavier yet?" Donna asks.
I shake my head, "No, it's like he disappeared into thin air or something", I say.
"Wow, I hope they catch him soon", she says.
"Me too, I'm ready for my life to go back to normal", I say.
After our lunch Jim leaves and Donna and I go to our intro to healthcare class. The professor starts teaching the lesson. I feel thirsty and decide to go get a bottle of water.
"I'm going to get a bottle of water", I whisper to Donna and she nods.
I leave the classroom quietly and go to the vending machines at the end of the hall. The hall is quiet since everyone is in the lecture hall for class. I put a $1.50 in the vending machine and it dispenses the water. I bend over to get the water and I stand up about to take a drink when suddenly a scarf comes around my neck. I struggle to breath at the scarf tightens around my neck choking me.
"You really think a bodyguard is going to stop me from getting to you", Xavier voice hisses in my ear
I gasp for air and my vision is fading but Xavier only tightens the scarf around my neck.
"Don't worry cutie I'm not going to get rid of you now, I'm saving you for last", he says
Xavier let's go of the scarf and I tumble on the floor head first coughing and gasping for breath Xavier smirks. I turn my head around and see Xavier walking down the hall as I slowly fade into darkness.
"How is she doctor?" I hear Richard voice says.
"She has a minor concussion from when she hit her head but her brain waves are normal she may experience some headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision but otherwise she will be fine", the doctor says
"Thank you doctor", Richard says.
"Kori, baby please wake up", Richard says.
I try to open my eyes but it feels as though something heavy is over eyes. I want to reach out to Richard and let him know I'm ok and that I love him but my body refuses to listen to me. I slowly drift off to another peaceful sleep.
I wake up and notice that I am in a hospital bed. The room only noise in the room is the faint beeping of the heart monitor. I look down at my arm and notice and IV in it. I glance over to my right and see Richard a chair sleeping peacefully. I have to get up and pee really badly I push the call nurse button.
A nurse walks in not to long after, "Hi Miss Anders how I can help you?" she ask politely. I shush her but it too late as I notice Richard is now awake.
"Kori!" he says both relived and worried.
"Hi", I say casually and smile.
"I was so worried, are you ok?" he asks.
"I'm fine I just really need to use the bathroom", I say embarrassed.
"Oh, well let me help you", Richard says.
"No its fine, the nurse can help me", I say.
The nurse unhooks the IV and I pull back the cover and stand on my feet. I feel a bit dizzy and start to slump.
"Whoa, I've got you", Richard says and catches me just in time.
"Thanks", I say and snuggle closer to his chest.
"Ahem", the nurse clears her throat awkwardly, "It looks like you're in good hands Miss Anders will you still need my help?" She asks.
"No, but thank you", I say.
She nods and leaves the room. Richard then picks me up bridal style and carries me to the bathroom. He sets me down gently.
"You need help?" he asks.
"No I'll be fine besides there's no way I'm letting you see me pee", I say.
Richard rolls his eyes and hands me a toiletries bag, "I'll wait outside the door", he says.
As I wash my hands after using the bathroom I decide to take a shower to freshen up a bit. After I shower and dry myself off I look in the mirror and notice a faint red line on my neck where Xavier strangled me. I shiver at the memory. I brush my hair wrap myself in a towel and exit the bathroom.
"Hey", Richard says and walks over to me.
"Hi, thanks for bringing some of my stuff", I say.
"It's no problem", he says and reaches in the suitcase, "I brought you some fresh clothes", he says.
"Thanks, I'll just go change", I say and start going toward the bathroom.
Richard chuckles, "You're still too shy to change in front of me even after we had sex?" he asks and grins.
I blush at the memory, "No", I say and turn back to face him and take off my towel.
Richard growls and pulls me closer to him and kisses me passionately. I tug on his shirt and he takes it off. He then lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and he gracefully sets me down on the bed and I tug at his pants.
"I love you", he says.
"I love you too", I say.
"I'm sorry", Richard says.
"Why", I say and lift my head from where it was on his naked chest.
"I'm sorry this happened to you, I should have been there to protect you", he says.
"Richard, you can't be everywhere at once you're not superman you know", I say.
Richard chuckles, "I still wish I could have been there I swear if that shit head puts his hand on you again I'll-", Richard says and I put my hand over his mouth to silence him.
"Richard stop please", I say and lean my head back on his chest.
Richard sighs and kisses my forehead, "I'm sorry it's just that when I got the call that you were in the hospital I was so afraid that I had lost you forever", he says.
"I know, I was scared too", I say and snuggle closer to Richard chest.
"How long was I out?" I ask.
"About 2 days", he says, "Donna was worried after you didn't return to class and went to go check on you, and that's when she found you lying on the floor unconscious. She called the 911 and then they called me", he says.
"Oh", I say. 'I must thank Donna later' I think to myself.
"Did they catch Xavier?" I ask.
Richard sighs, "No, but they did catch him on the security footage", he says and I sigh Xavier almost killed me and he was still out there.
"We'll find him Kori and he won't ever be able to hurt you again I promise", Richard says.
"I believe you" I say.
Richard kisses me and I snuggle closer to his chest. I sigh peacefully enjoying my safe haven in his arms. I inhale Richard rich scent and smile and we lay in bed peacefully. My stomach growls killing the romantic, peaceful moment.
"Are you hungry? I can call my assistant and have him bring us something" he asks.
"Ok but first I have something else in mind", I say and Raise my head up from his chest and smile
At first Richard looks at me confused until I trail kisses down his chest. He then groans and sits up and flips me over so that I am underneath him.
"Your wish is my command", he says and kisses me as we make love once more.
The doctor comes in to cheek on me after in the afternoon. He tells me that I have a minor concussion and will experience some headaches and dizziness but other than that I am ok and will be released tomorrow morning. Richard assistant brings us some Chinese food and I eat mine and some of his food. I didn't realize how hungry I was of course being unconscious for two days didn't help decrease my appetite.
"Did you stay here the whole time?" I ask curiously referring to Richard staying in the hospital.
"Of course, I wouldn't leave your side no matter how many nurses tried to kick me out", he says and I giggle.
"I've missed that sound", he says and kisses me.
A knock on the door interrupts us.
"Come in", I say.
An officer walks in, "Miss Anders I'm sorry to disturb but, we think we may have found Xavier", he says.
"What?" I gasp in disbelief.
