Licking her dry lips she gave him a weak smile “Did you get the number”
He looked at her in surprise “The number?”
“Of the truck that hit me” she chuckled slightly before the sharp pain in her head caused her to wince slightly “ow!!” she moaned
“Ben said you should try not to move” he spoke gently
“Ben?” she looked at him questioningly
“It was Ben who took care of you” he exclaimed
“Sometimes its handy living next island door to one of the worlds leading neurosurgeons” he grinned
Kira recalled the meeting with the couple. She remembered that Ben had been some kind of doctor
“That was really nice of him” she whispered
Craig nodded, gently brushing away hair from her face
“He is a very nice man, and he told me to make sure that you stay in bed” he said
Kira giggled gently “I don’t think I’m really up to that Craig” she said looking over at him
“But I appreciate the offer”
Craig laughed back at her “You are impossible” he said softly before kissing her tenderly
He was still wearing his shirt and dress trousers, which were creased and dirty, and his unkempt look was further obvious by the 12 o’clock shadow which gave him an even more sensual look she thought and she looked at him with a little grin
“mmm I like this new look on you... the pirate thing” she said softly suddenly feeling very tired feeling her eyes fluttering closed again
When she once again awoke she had felt much better. Even the headache seemed to have become nothing more than a dull thudding. She had been alone, and pushing back the covers she had shakily stood up. Taking her time until the feeling of dizziness had subsided she slowly walked to the bathroom taking one of the fluffy bathrobes from the back of the door and pulling it on, before leaving the room.
As she descended the stairs she spotted Craig talking with Ben and Heather. He had at some point changed and was wearing white linen trousers with a black t-shirt. As they spotted her slowly moving towards them he had gasped running up to meet her
“What are you doing up” he demanded
“Back to bed”
Kira had looked at him with impatience
“I am not spending the whole day in bed” she spoke defiantly
“Oh I think you are” he said with grim determination as in one fluid movement he swept her up into his arms and moved back up the stairs before gently laying her back onto the bed#p#分页标题#e#
Behind him Ben and Heather followed. Ben chuckled, “Sorry Kira, but for today you stay here” he said before examining her. He looked into her eyes asking questions and taking her blood pressure. Finally with a smile he had looked happy
“Well I’m glad to say that you seem in good health…..but still stay in bed today” he had added seeing Craig’s look
She had sighed in submission “Fine” she said a little sulkily
“Are you hungry” Craig asked softly looking at Ben “Is that OK” before receiving a reassuring nod.
As she nodded he and Ben had disappeared out of the room. Heather however, stayed with her
“How are you feeling” she said gently
Kira smiled softly
“Very lucky” she responded with real feeling “I shiver when I think what might have happened”
The older woman nodded her face more serious
“You missed all the excitement” she said
“What do you mean” Kira asked confused
Heather then went on to tell her the story of her rescue
“Craig called to tell us what had happened, boy was that boy panicking. The easiest way of reaching you was by sea, so we got the speed boat straight over while he organised for a helicopter to be ready if needed to winch you out of there” she paused to see the look of disbelief on the young woman’s face
“We were there in less than 10 minutes and you were out cold. Craig…what a mess….he was in a hell of a state”
“He was?” Kira whispered
“He was half out of his mind with worry….we had to give him jobs to do just to keep him busy. Fortunately you came around long enough for Ben to tell that you hadn’t broken your neck or back”
Kira frowned not able to remember.
“So we managed to get you onto a stretcher and into the boat and take you back to the house” Heather smiled “Craig obviously wanted to fly you to some hospital…..which you didn’t need so Ben eventually had to tell him to back off” She giggled “I don’t think Craig is used to being told off, but he just kept pacing back and forth getting in our way”
Chucking she had added
