Sang POV
I feel so cold. Where am I? My whole body feels wet. I move my hands around and feel a softness like a rose petal. I still haven't opened my eyes yet. The fog is slowly lifting from my mind. My memory is starting to come back to me. I remember my nightmare then sneaking outside to take out the trash. It started to rain. I remember being hit from behind and then struggling to breath. I can't remember anything else.
Hmmm, I'll try my other sense. When I can't see I can always rely on my nose. I slowly took a deep breath to breath in my surroundings. Ohh it smells so good. It's a spice smell not like Bubba's cinnamon but a more exotic spice. It's like Axe and Calvin Klein mixed together and then exploded forming this new spice smell. It makes me feel tingles. I would so hold anything with this smell close to me just take deep breaths to keep it in my memories.
I hear shuffling of feet Move across carpet. I tilt my head little to hear what's happening. A door is being opened to my right. I hear things being taken out and moved. It must be the closet. Click.
The door was just closed again. I hear feet Heading towards me. I try to hold my breath. I feel something heavy laid on top of my feet. They then tuck my feet into the heavy item. I feel the item stretched up towards my chest. The heaviness starting to press down on me. I pop my eyes open to see what's happening. I can't help but gasp a little. I see the most alluring deep green eyes gazing into mine. A smooth and Strong voice begins to speak to me.
" it's okay my name is Dakota Lee. But my friends call me Kota. I helped you after my dog pushed you down and you passed out. What's your name?"
I begin shaking from my body being wet and because I'm nervous being in a room with a stranger. I look at my rescuer to see if he means harm to me. Mother always says all men would rape and kill me. I know mother can stretch the truth a bit. But to be safe I'm never without my brothers. They always protect me. But my brothers aren't here right now. They are still sleeping without knowing I left the house.
I gaze into this stranger's face to see what I need to do next. If I need to run I think I can surprise him and run for the door. Hmmmm, He has fair skin with high cheekbones. An angular jaw with rich dark brown wavy hair. My hand itches to run my fingers through his hair to fluff it up. He steps back for me to see him stand beside me. He's very muscular but with medium build. He's like a foot taller than me so 6'3. He's very handsome.
I look back into his alluring green eyes. I see nothing but kindness shining down on me. He seems concern too. I reach my finger up to my lip to push into my teeth. A nervous habit I picked up when mother began giving me her lessons and I struggled speaking to her. I watch his eyes move when I moved my finger. He must think I'm a scared rabbit. Come on Sang get it together.
I take a deep breath and open my mouth " mmmy name is Sang. Sang Sorenson and thank you for helping me." Oh goodness gracious Sang really stuttering. I can't help but chastise myself for being so nervous around strangers.
I try to collect myself. I look down to push myself up into a sitting position on the bed. Kota hurries to help me sit up and scoot me back. I watch and see a hand out in front of me when I look back up. I bit my lip a little and reach out my hand towards his.
Our hands touch and tingles spark through my hand. I look into his eyes to see if he felt anything either. If he did he didn't let it show. He reaches his other hand behind my back to help guide me. His hands are so warm.
"Are you OK? Are you hurt anywhere?You don't feel anything broken do you?" I gazed up to Kota. I like that name. It's different like mine. " ummm let me check."
I start to check around me to see if anything is broken. I wiggle my toes under the blanket. I move my arms and fingers. My legs are next being moved and lifted but I feel slight pain coming from them. I lay them back onto the bed. "Hmmm nothing feels broken my knees hurt a little bit. My back hurts little too but beside that I feel okay."
Kota begins to pace back-and-forth. I hear a slit mumble coming from him. I can't make out what it is. "Is it OK if I check your back. I've looked at your knees they're a little scraped from falling. I have already doctored them with my first aid kit.
My friend is a doctor I called him for help. He said that you shouldn't have any heart problems or brain injury from you passing out. Your heart rate was normal. I can check your head if you like for bumps. If you are feeling dizzy or light headed. I had to wait until you woke up before seeing if you have a concussion."
Kota stopped pacing and faced me to see what my answer was. I cleared my throat. " Yes, please check my back. I don't think I have a concussion. The way I was pushed I didn't really hit my head more my chest. Which was why I lost my breath and then fainted. Where is your dog? Its Max right? Is he okay?"
I knew I didn't have a concussion. I've suffered enough of those thanks to mothers lessons. My brothers and I learn a lot from doctoring my wounds from mothers lessons.
At the sound of me saying Max's name a head all of sudden pops up from the side of the bed. He's the most adorable golden retriever I've ever seen. He's looking at me with his big brown eyes giving me those pleading eyes. I feel so bad he's sad. I know he's upset for hurting me and worried too.
" come here sweet boy. I'm okay come give me a hug." Max wags his big fluffy tail and leans over for me to scratch his ears. I lean down to hug his head and he lathers me with slobbery kisses. I couldn't help but giggle at Max. I look back up and Kota has this weird look like he's in awe. I couldn't help but giggle again. It's like he's never seen someone give a dog a hug before.
" that's a sweet boy you are. See I'm okay. Now go sit right there for me okay." I point to where I want him to go. Max barks at me wags his tail some more. He gets down and walks to where I pointed. " Sit Max. Sit sweet boy." Max sat down to watch us again. I looked back up and Kota was beginning to sit on the side of the bed.
I pushed the blankets off of me to turn around. I noticed my clothes made the bed wet. " oh goodness gracious Kota I'm so sorry I'm making a mess in your bed. I'll clean it up."
I rush to jump up but Kota stops me. " Sang it's okay I can change the sheets in a bit. I'm more worried bout your back. Please let me check your back."
I reach my finger up to my lip again to push against my teeth. " Are you sure Kota? I'm so sorry. I can remake your bed for you." Kota reaches out and lays a hand on my shoulder to calm my nerves. " it's okay Sang just turn around for me. If there's a wound I don't want it to get infected okay."
I nodded my head and began to turn around. I took a breath and raise the back end of my shirt. My clothes are sticking to me. Kota helped little bit to lift. " okay I see there's small scratches on your back they aren't bleeding. It's probably from Max's nails when he pounced on you. It should be fine. I can put some peroxide to help clean them. It shouldn't sting."
I looked over my shoulder towards Kota. " Oh thank you so much. I would appreciate that. I feel so bad causing so much trouble for you. I'm really sorry." Kota shook his head. " no no your fine. Truthfully it's my fault. I should have been watching Max better. Please forgive me and Max for you getting hurt."
I nod my head and said " it's okay. I'm just so grateful you took care of me and not some creepy man my mother warned me bout. She says all men just want to rape and kill women. But I know not all men are like that because my brothers aren't like that.
They are the sweetest and most caring brothers ever. They always take care of me and I take care of them. Mother just worries bout my sister Marie and me. I can tell your very kind also. You also care bout others or you wouldn't have done this for me. I'm happy I got to meet you and Max. Thank you so much again for helping me."
I turn back to face the wall for Kota to work. I'm starting to feel nervous again and cheeks turn pink from complementing him. Kota goes and picks up the first aide kit to doctor my back. " your most welcome Sang I'm happy I got to meet you too. Hopefully you could see me as a friend. Even though we just met."
I couldn't help but giggle because I made my first friend. I'm so excited. I can't wait to tell Bubba and the boys. Kota laughs with me not knowing why I'm giggling. " I would be so happy to be your friend. Thank you."
It was silent while Kota worked on my back. I could hear the rain pitter patter coming off the roof. It started raining again. I feel him place bandages on my back just little ones. I'm not bleeding but probably to keep them clean.
He gets up to place the first aide into the bathroom while I fix my shirt and turn around. " Kota could I borrow an umbrella if you don't mind that way I can get back to my house?"
Kota steps back inside his room and walks over to the window. He looks out and lightning flashes across the sky. " I think you should stay here until the morning. If that's okay? You can have my bed and I have a pull out bed for me to use. You don't want to wake your family. It's one of the things you said before you passed out not to tell your mother."
The blood leaves my face I can't believe I slipped like that. I don't want to loose my first friend and he finds out bout our home. I rush my finger to my lips again pushing with little more force. " yeah that may be best. I'm sorry. My mother is really sick. I forgot to take out the trash and snuck out to take it since the garbage truck comes tomorrow. I didn't realize I said that. I didn't want to wake anyone. If it's okay for me to stay? I can take the pull out."
"I understand Sang it's okay. Of course you can stay But I must insist you take my bed. It's the least I could do since Max here pushed you. I have some pjs you could use and I'll dry you clothes in the morning."
I give Kota a smile tell him thank you again. He goes to his drawer to take out some gym shorts and a hunter green t-shirt. He walks over to me and hands me the clothes. " I'll make the bed while you change."
I begin shaking my head" No let me Kota. it's my fault your bed is wet. I'll make it after I change." He just laughs and puts his hands onto my shoulder to guide me to the bathroom. " Sang your my guest don't worry I got it. Now hurry before you get sick." He leaves me at the door to change.
I step inside and see it's a typical boys bathroom with with green walls and white shower area with few blue accents. The sink white with wooden storage area. Wide wooden mirror. A white and green stool to the side of the sink. ( picture I designed on design home game but imagine without seahorses and shower curtain of fish it was a theme for the game.) the picture on the wall is the deer of Harry Potter's patronus on blue.
My brothers had me watch Harry Potter with them. I love the books better but the movies were awesome too. I hurried to get dress to go help Kota. By the time I peeled my clothes off and laid them inside the tub. I wrapped my bra and undies inside my pj bottoms that way they don't fall out.
I stepped back out. Kota already made the bed up and was pulling out a bed under his bed. Literally a pull out bed I couldn't help but giggle in my head. I rushed to help Kota set up the pull out bed. " where did you put you wet clothes?" I glanced up and Kota was looking at me.
" they are in the tub for us to grab in the morning to place in the dryer. I usually wake early so I can help." He nods his head " that will be fine I wake up early too." He goes and grabs two extra pillows out of the closet to lay on the pull out.
" okay Sang you climb in first and I'll turn out the lights." I watch him move towards the door and begin to walk over to the bed. I climb in and Max decides to crawl in after me. He lays on the end of the bed. Kota turns out the lights and crawls into the pull out bed.
"Goodnight Kota thank u again for helping me and being my friend."
I hear him give a husky laugh. " goodnight Sang and your welcome for both."
The silence sounds as we listen to the rain pit pat off the roof. Sleep takes over. I hope I don't have another nightmare.
