Second Chances

chapter twenty four handsome doctor

A few minutes later dad stood up and made a few notes in her chart that he copied from the hospital. "Okay now, your pressure is still a little high and your ribs aren't fully healed yet, so don't take on too much too fast, get back to bed, you need more rest and don't take on those stairs just yet, stay put, got that?" "Yes sir." She said with a shy smile.

"Okay I'll see you all later." Dad said and leaves the room. "Soo, you are obsessed with doctors huh?" I ask with a smile as I continue to play with Faith. "Mhm, ever since I was a child." She said with a shy smile. "Well at least now I have someone to watch my medical programs with."

I would really enjoy that. So, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that your favorite color is white." She said looking around. "That obvious?" I ask scratching the back of my neck. "Kind of, and your favorite singer?" She ask pointing to the large poster on my wall. "Of all time, yes." I said proudly.

"Nice, so um, I'm going to go so you can get to work and save lives, I can't believe you're a doctor, this's so awesome." She giggles as she took up Faith's carrier. Funny how many times Kayla has been in this room and she never made the connection but this complete stranger enter it once and hit the nail right on the head, not once but twice. I thought to myself as I follow her back to her room. Once she was settled I left.

I was on my way to work when my phone rang. Checking it I saw that it was Kayla and just seeing her name brought back all the hurt and pain and sadness of the last few days. I have been avoiding her calls and texts since she fainted because I had someone keeping an eye on her but now I decided to answer her because I was planning on calling her anyway.

I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and answer the phone. "What is it Kayla?' I ask annoyed. 'Hi baby, are you okay?' She asks in a sing song tone. "How can I be okay after what you did to me?' I snap. "I know I messed up baby but please I'm begging you to forgive me please, I can't survive without you, I made a horrible mistake please forgive me.' She pleads.

My heart would love nothing more than to forgive her but my mind couldn't over look what she did. 'That's what you're calling what you did to me; a mistake?' I ask angrily. "A mistake is something you do once or twice Kayla, you have been cheating on me for over two years, do you have any idea how close I came to catching HIV or any of the other STDs there are out there, from you?" I demands.

"You weren't in any danger of catching anything from me Ty because I only cheated on you with one man." She said defensively. I snort with disgust at her statement. "You are unbelievable you know that? Here you are on this phone begging me to forgive you and you're still lying to me." I sneer at her.

"I'm not, I swear...I..." "Just cut the crap Kay." I snap angrily. "The man that was in the apartment when my brothers were moving my stuff wasn't the man I caught you with in our bed, so as I said before, cut the crap."

"Ty...I...." "Yeah I know, you need more time to come up with more lies, take your time." I said in a sarcastic tone. "Anyway two ladies are on their way to the apartment to clean up and cook you some food, you can't continue to stuff yourself with fast food, it's not good for the baby and if I know right, that apartment needs cleaning right about now." I said rubbing my temple before continuing.

"They're not obligated to be there, they're only helping me out so if you disrespect them in any way they'll leave, for good, and don't forget your appointment tomorrow." "And how exactly am I supposed to pay them, I don't have any money Ty." "I've already taken care of that." I end the call, flung the phone on the passenger seat, wipe the tears of disappointment that were falling down my face and drove off.
