She glared at him, furious with him and herself. “Bite me,” she snapped before she could stop herself. Her eyes widened as she realized the implications of what she’d said.
He raised an eyebrow up and gave her a curious look as he tucked away the pills in his pants pocket. “That pretty little mouth is going to get you into big trouble someday,” he told her. His tone made it sound almost as if he was flirting with her. A small, sly smile spread across his mouth. The thief pulled his hand into a fist and slammed it hard into one of the machines next to her, destroying it.
“What are you doing, asshole?” Lily shrieked as he repeated his attack on another machine. “Stop it! What are you doing?” She insisted, grabbing his arm in an attempt to stop him.
“Should have done what I told you to the first time human,” he replied as he then swung around and hit her.
Lily felt as if her head exploded. Bright white light burst behind her eyelids and then everything went to black.
Lily groaned and slowly opened her eyes. The brightness of the light reflecting off white walls hurt her eyes. Her whole body ached as she tried to sit up but decided against it. Her head was pounding with a horrible headache. She reached up to rub her sore temple noticing the bandage there.
Where was she and why did she hurt so much? Oh yeah, the stupid thief at the lab. He’d hit her. “Lily, you’re awake,” Lacy cheered.
She opened her eyes slowly to peek at her sister. Lacy’s usual well-groomed blonde hair was all a mess. Her eyes red and puffy, and her clothing all wrinkled and twisted.
“Hey Lace,” Lily croaked with a small smile as she tried to sit up. Her sister pulled her into a tight hug. “Oh easy, easy. It hurts everywhere,” she said, feeling her body protest.
Lacy immediately let her go with a guilty look and apologized. “I am going to call the doctor, who is too cute by the way, and everyone. They went down to the cafeteria about twenty minutes ago,” Lacy told her. She gave Lily a quick but softer hug before leaving the room.
Lily touched her temple again, wincing with the pain. “Good Morning Ms. Nawassa. I am Doctor Ryland,” the doctor announced as he entered the room a few minutes after Lacy left.
Lily gave him a greeting smile noticing that Lacy was right. He was pretty cute. He had the prettiest brownish red hair and sparkling green eyes. His light freckles gave him this cute sexy air about him. “How are you feeling?” he asked, walking over to her bed.
“I’m feeling fine, considering I hurt all over,” she stated matter of fact.
He smiled a charming smile at her. “Well, that good to hear despite the fact you hurt all over, which with some good pain killers should go away. I need you to follow this light for me okay,” he told her holding up a small penlight and moved it side to side.
The light caused her head to throb more, but she did as he asked and followed the light. “Do you think I can get out of here soon?” she asked, not bothering to hide her eagerness.
“I have a few more tests to perform, and if the results are what I expect then yes you can leave,” he explained. “I hope your eagerness to leave has nothing to do with my bedside manner,” he added with a flirtatious grin.
“Of course not, Doctor,” Lily replied, giving him her best come-hither tone. Someone coughed from the other side of the room and she noticed Andrew and the others standing there.
“My poor sunshine,” Sandy cried as she walked over towards Lily and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“How is she, Doctor?” Andrew asked and Lily noticed him giving the doctor a slight look of disapproval.
“She is fine. I believe she only received a hairline fracture. I want to run some more tests, but she should be good to go in a couple of hours,” the doctor told him. His tone professional.
Tony walked up to her, shaking his head. He gave her a gentle hug and whispered in her hear with a mocked scolding tone. “You’ve only been awake for a few minutes and you already flirting with the doctor?”
“Hey, I am not dead yet! Besides you’ve got to enjoy the little pleasures in life,” she whispered back.
Tony shook his head again with a hint of a smile on his lips but gave her the older brother shame on you glare. The doctor excused himself, stating he would return in about an hour to start the final tests. Lily gave him a sly smile and a flirty wave as he left. Lacy and Lily tried to hide their laughter as the doctor almost walked into the door. Some guys were just too easy; she thought with her smile growing a little more.
“Nothing like making a cute guy squirm,” Lacy giggled and Chris looked a little jealous.
“Please! I am so much better looking,” he pouted.
“Sure you are, baby,” Lacy told him. He gave her a kiss that got a little too intense for Lily’s taste, so she threw her pillow at them.
“Okay enough you two or I swear I will call security,” she snapped.
