THE MESS YOU MADE

Without saying a word,they moved at the same time,lips smacking against each other with want more than passion. For her this wasn't a session of love making, she just couldn't wait to feel him inside her,release the burden she was feeling weighing down on her shoulders and leave just like she was used to. The moment he started kissing her neck, scaling it as carefully and passionately as he could, she almost groaned with frustration.

She didn't have time for this and not only that, she also didn't do passionate because the moment too many emotions were involved, attachments were most likely to follow and that was when she drew the line. She was past that and no way in hell would she go back there.

"Okay, stop, stop,stop for a second,"she said panting and pushed him away which resulted to a confused look in his face.

"What is it, am I going too fast? I mean,you are incredible, your body is really incredible and I just couldn't keep my hands to myself," he replied grinning foolishly as he stared at her half open chest.

"Not fast enough!" She replied almost in a command. Keith's mouth turned and formed a perfect 'oh' but even so didn't make a move. What sort of guy had she clammed herself with? She tore her blouse down to the last button exposing a generous amount of cleavage, just enough to motivate him to want to find out what stood behind her bra. She noticed him swallow hard and eyes turn darker with complete desire. She unclasped her bra and let her perfect C cups bounce on her chest and maintaining eye contact, she added,"I want you to fuck me."

"Oh wow,uh..." She moved forward and slid her hand down to his pants, trailing her it upwards along his inner thigh, stopping at his strong bulge. Her body went wild with anticipation and she could literally feel her own wetness between her thighs. She bit her lower lip to prevent a moan from escaping but pushed her body against his enormous bulge,still not breaking contact. "Yes,yes,I can do that."

"Yes you can," she managed a smile before she proceeded to take off her skirt as Keith quickly unbuckled his belt,slid out of his trousers and stood there,his manhood protruding right up ahead waiting for her.

Within a flash, she was in his arms,her legs cradling his waist,mouth fighting against his but that wasn't really what she was focusing on. Her center was already groaning with want and so, sliding slightly on his hips, she located the head of his penis and slid it right inside her then moaned with delight as it's whole length filled her. She closed her eyes and whimpered softly as he took over, pumping in and out of her rhythmically. It was sweet and she understood that he was just being a gentleman- literally but she needed much more than this. For a second she wondered what he would think of her for being too forward but why did it matter anyway? She would be gone by morning and probably never see him again.

"More please,"she begged.

She didn't know how they got to a couch until her back landed on the soft material. He stopped for a second and looked at her.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked.

*Oh dear God!* Her mind screamed. Why would she ask for more if she wasn't sure. Instead of replying, she sat up, pushed him back so that he was now the one lying on the couch on his back and followed him suit, lowering her body and center back, positioning his dick back inside her. She held him down by placing her hand against his chest then started rocking her hips, sliding in and out. Each thrust hit harder and better in her core and even without realizing it,the next minute she was moaning loudly, throwing her head back as the friction brought her closer and closer to her orgasm. Her nipples ached to be touched but since she had Keith under her unable to do anything, she grabbed one and pinched it, twirling her fingers around it, sending shock waves through her. At some point, she lost the power and that was when Keith took over, thrusting in and out of her harder and deeper as he held her by her hips, hitting her g-spot in a way no one else had. She didn't have time to think about it but tonight she had landed the right man for the job.

"Oh yeah,fuck yeah!" she moaned,not even trying to hold back her pleasure and the moment she felt her vagina walls contract and couldn't hold it any longer, she threw her head back with surrender and let him take charge, pumping through her faster and faster until her orgasm took over and with one last cry,let go letting the waves take over her body,soft whimpers escaping her as she fell off his body.

The moment he went to take her into his arms, she pushed him away and edged further away on the couch.

"Nope,no hugging,"she stated simply. Keith eyed her in surprise and edged back. Luckily he didn't take offense to what she said otherwise he wouldn't be smiling comfortably.

"You are good though, right?"

She nodded,"Yeah, I'm good. Just not good at dealing with sentiments. That's okay, right?"

"Well,you are definitely not what you seemed to be like when I approached you. You are a wild one but yeah it's totally okay." He stood up, walked to a coffee table fully naked where he poured himself a glass of water. Her eyes were fixed on his not too tight arse and found herself biting her lip again. Why was she losing control that easily tonight? She never took the time to admire any other guy's body but this one somehow made her question her mind ten times more.

"Water?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up,"No,thank you." She stood up and started looking for her handbag.

Keith observed her keenly before he finally asked,"You are not leaving,are you?"

The next morning, Andrea turned in her sleep and stretched her arms on the bed only for her hand to land on a briskly stubble. She opened her eyes in horror, coming to her senses and stumbled out of bed almost tripping over the covers that were still wrapped around her legs. She stopped at the door, holding on to the frame, only to realize that she was completely naked and had no idea where her clothes were.

"Fuck!"she cursed loudly then kicked herself for it the moment the guy sprawled out in bed stirred. Luckily he didn't open his eyes. She sighed with relief then focused, retracing her steps in her mind from when they had stepped into the apartment to when they had gone into the bedroom. "Downstairs." she murmured almost in a whisper then open the door slowly,closed it silently once she was on the other side then literally run all the way to the sitting room and hoping as hell that she wasn't about to run into a girlfriend or wife she didn't know of or hadn't asked about. Not that the question had crossed her mind but now she was wishing it had.

She located her clothes and quickly slipped into them them fumbled through her handbag and grabbed her phone. The first thing she noticed was four missed calls from her best friend. That however didn't bother her much because she was used to Gabby looking for her to ask about even the tiniest mistake she had done at their shared apartment or a misplaced item. What shocked her was the time on her phone.

How could she have lost control that much? She never spent a night with any guy she hooked up with but now it was nearly six in the morning.

"Shit!" she cursed then ran out of the building,hailed a cab and headed home.

Gabby met her at the door and the look she gave her wasn't something she wanted to deal with at the moment.

"Hey,"she offered her a smile without stopping but by the time she was crossing the living room to her side of the apartment, she was hot on her heels.

"Who was it this time? At least tell me that he is not married."

"I have no idea," she replied plainly and went ahead towards her bedroom. "Could be anyone; a police officer,a lawyer,a teacher,a husband," she paused. "A serial killer who changed his mind after a night long of sex."

"That's not funny Andy, come on."

She chuckled,"His name is Keith and he is a business man, that's all." She stole a chip from the bag she was holding which made her turn her features in disgust. "Anyway, it's not important because I won't be seeing him again. I have to get ready for work so catch you in a bit?" She said and disappeared into her room.

"It's not healthy you know?"

She heard Gabby shout after her right before she closed her door and started going through her closet, searching for the days outfit. Of course she knew that the kind of life she lived was not healthy but she had made it her comfort zone and once someone got in there,it was hard to get out. She found herself wanting more and more and since nothing else in her life was going straight, she wasn't ready to give this up yet.

Thirty minutes later, she came back to the living room and found Gabby standing by the TV, the remote in her hand and eyes focused without blinking. It puzzled her since it was the first time she had seen her interested in any news, whether breaking or daily. She furrowed her brows and approached her.

"What's so interesting over there?"

Gabby shook her head,"It's just unbelievable and shocking. The Midnight Lovers lead actor was involved in a major accident a few minutes ago."

"Who now?" she asked, joining her in front of the TV. She had no idea what her friend was talking about so solemnly.

"The guy who plays prince Aidan in the series?" Realizing that she wasn't placing the character in her mind, Gabby went on,"Girl,where do your eyes look at whenever you are walking around town? Because his face is displayed at the cinemas billboard. You wouldn't miss it."

"Well, maybe that's because I don't use that route. Anyway actors are overrated and if he is as arrogant as most of them are then maybe he deserves what happened to him," she added leaving an open mouthed Gabby staring after her. She hadn't really planned on saying that,it had just come out but she didn't regret it.

"What do you have against actors? Because as far as I know, those are the only kind of people you wouldn't sleep with."

She shrugged,"They are arrogant and think about themselves only." She opened the fridge, grabbed the milk and added a generous amount to the coffee in both their travel mugs and fastened the lids. She then grabbed a donut and placed it in her mouth but found Gabby still looking at her. "What?"

"If you saw this one,you wouldn't wish him ill. In fact, you would want to jump him the moment you placed your eyes on him. His eyes especially are adorable."

She laughed,"Since when did you become an expert in how good looking guys look like?"

"He is the only guy I tolerate and you would know what I'm saying if you saw him. I'm just hoping that he will survive that crash."

"Come on, let's get to work."

★★★

An hour after Andy had parted ways with her friend who worked in the technical department of the same hospital, she walked along the hallway heading to the last section of her morning rounds which was next to the casualty department of the hospital. She was busy marking her calendar on her notebook and didn't see the person who was headed straight for her, only looked up the moment she bumped into him.

"Shit,sorry!" she said without focusing but the moment she was about to turn away and continue with her work, she recognized him. Her heart skipped two enormous beats almost knocking her off balance. "Oh,fuck me!" she said without thinking.

"That,I did," the guy replied with a light chuckle and an amused smile. "Hi doctor Andrea?"

"Keith,wh- what are you doing here?"

"I work here."

She wasn't sure she had heard him right . She blinked profusely in disbelief trying to roll those words around in her mind and make sense of them. Realizing that he wasn't playing, she looked around her then lowered her voice.

"You do? How- since when?"

"I'm on the board of directors but that might be about to change since the head is retiring and rumor has it that I might be taking over so...we might be seeing each other a lot more often?"

The last part was more of a question and she wasn't even ready to wrap that around her mind to find an appropriate answer for him. This was all too much. He was like her superior and the only thing she could see in her head was how she had slept with her boss and how he had the power to get her fired. Her heart rate took pace in her chest and she found herself almost struggling to breathe.

Before she could think of an answer to give him,a doctor and two nurses ran past them heading to casualty,a minute before an ambulance halted at the entrance.

"Doctor Serrano, we need assistance over here!" she recovered quickly and without a word headed towards casualty, leaving Keith standing in the hallway. She stopped by the already waiting stretcher as the paramedics lowered the patient gently. His face was covered with an oxygen mask and his shirt ripped open to facilitate first aid.

"What happened?" she asked no one in particular.

"An accident. His car ran into a lorry, his driver swerved it and saved him. He needs resuscitation or we are going to lose him too."

Without another word, she jumped onto the stretcher balancing herself above him and started compressing his chest at a steady pace, determined to get him back. All was going well until the moment she decided to ask what his name was. The answer was the last she would have expected.

"Nicholas Chambers ma'am."

She lost her grip and slowly lifted her eyes to his face. Those eyes, even though they were opening and closing in and out of consciousness sure were familiar to her. His face,his perfectly sculptured jawline and light stubble, bristly eyebrows and defined cheekbones.

"I'll be damned!" she muttered under her breath. What were the chances that she would be in this position, trying to save the life of the one person who had shattered hers all those years ago?

"We are losing him!" Andy was still trying to process how everything had happened. Several seconds passed,her mind completely zoning out and not wanting to believe that all this was happening to her in one day. What sort of fate had she been sealed with? And most importantly,why was this day turning into her worst nightmare?

"Doctor Serrano, what are you doing?"

She snapped out of the ongoing war in her head. Half her mind wanted to get off and ran away but the other half listened to the voice of reason. One that reminded her that if this patient succumbed because of her ignorance she would be answerable. Without looking at any of the people who were around her, she went back to resuscitating him, applying the right amount of pressure as the medics pushed the wheeled stretcher towards the emergency room. Luckily after a few minutes, she recovered his pulse. It was weak but at least steady and that was when she sighed and got off, leaving the others to transfer him onto the hospital bed.

She looked at the male doctor who was still eyeing her suspiciously.

"Take over, I'm going to finish my rounds," she said and left the room.

The moment she stepped out of the room, she looked at her hands,half covered in blood. She wanted to scream but didn't know how to. She wanted to kick everything out of her way but then knew she would only hurt herself even more. All her strength left her and she found herself sliding door the wall in defeat. Nicholas Chambers, the guy who had made her believe in love and maybe, just maybe a happily ever after only for all that to be shattered into a million tiny uncollectible pieces then all of a sudden reappear in her life.

Not wanting to go back into that dark whole that she had spent more than five years escaping, she shut off all the memories that were rushing back to her at the moment, recollected herself but instead of going back to finish her rounds, she headed straight to the technical department. She never thought she would ever want to feel needy ever again but this was inevitable.

Gabby was busy typing something into her computer, completely engrossed that she didn't even notice her walk in until she grabbed her hand.

"Andy, what are you doing here and what are you doing?"

"Storeroom,now!" she stated and pulled her from her seat not even stopping to listen to her complaints. She literally shoved her inside the tiny room and closed the door, leaning against it.

"Seriously Andy, I've got to finish that program and run it or else the hospital data is- And what's going on with you? Did you finally get the herpes?"

"It's not the fucking herpes Gabby, seriously not everything is about my disastrous sex life!" She broke down even without wanting to. "I actually wish it was the herpes at this point."

"Oh no! What happened, talk to me," Gabby's voice changed into that of concern and moved closer to her. She saw her hesitating to touch her which was only because she never allowed anyone to unless she initiated it herself. At least that made her feel like she was in control but right now,all she wanted was to lose it and be vulnerable in front of the only friend she had kept close and who wouldn't hesitate to take care of her if she needed it. "Andy?"

"The guy I was with last night turns out to be my most likely boss and might get me fired," she began. Gabby was about to say something but she beat her to it. "It's not even that,I can work around it." She hesitated.

"You can talk to me Andy,what is it?"

"My ex fiance,"she lifted her hands in front of her. Gabby gasped and almost stepped back in shock. "I just saved his life while all I have ever wished for is for him to die in hell," she stated.

"Your what now? You were engaged,you Andrea Serrano was engaged? Who, when, how?" Her questions spiralled on and on almost making her regret coming to her with this in the first place. "I'm sorry, I'm just surprised because you don't seem like- oh God, I'm sorry! So, what happened?"

"He left me,two days to our wedding and disappeared into the face of the earth. Now he is back just like that,out of the blue. What am I supposed to do?" she asked breathing hard and trying as hard as she could to fight back tears. "I mean it's not like I didn't know that he still existed and I have seen him all these years but from afar. Seeing him here is different you know? It's bringing back all these memories I don't wanna have and I feel like I'm going crazy."

"Hey, take a deep breath and look at me!" she commanded and nodded when she did exactly that," You are going to get past this, okay?"

"How? One look at him and I was just about to turn into a fucking riptide. I don't want to see him ever again."

"And you don't have to. A few days here and he will leave. You don't have to see him, okay?" How bad she wanted those words to be true. Who knew whatever was about to happen next? "How bad is he?"

"I don't know, several fractured bones maybe. All I know is that I wish I had been the one to fracture them. He ruined me!" Right then,her communication radio sounded in her pocket and while she reached for it, she added,"And I don't care if he is some rich ass celebrity. The only thing that stopped me from walking away from that stretcher was only because people were looking at me, waiting upon me to be his savior. Every actor like him deserves that and even more!"

"Wait,who is your ex fiance?"

She sighed then replied absently,"Nicholas Chambers."

Gabby's eyes went wide in shock,"Holy freaking molly! The Nicholas Chambers? Prince Aidan of the Midnight Lovers?"

"That's who you were talking about this morning?"

"Yes!" She shouted.

"But that accident was in two towns away. Why did they bring him here?" she furrowed her brows. "Don't they have better hospitals over there?"

Gabby shrugged,"Fate maybe?"

She contorted her face in anger,not even sure what she was angry at.

"Bull shitting fate! To hell with that." She pressed the button on the radio kept clicking every time she ignored it. "What now Doctor Parker?" She listened then almost threw the radio away in frustration. "I just helped resuscitate him,he is your patient so deal with it!" She clicked the button and dropped the radio back into her pocket sighing heavily.

"You are going to get yourself fired Andy," Gabby stated and she knew that she was right. She wasn't supposed to let her emotions get in the way of her work yet here she was. "Go on Andy,you are gonna be fine."

"I want to die."
