Come In

Graham's question had been lurking in the back of my mind daily. Since I found out I was pregnant it’s been a constant feeling of dread and denial. It was confusing to me that he was willing to take me... and the baby away from this life, but I wasn’t even sure I wanted to be a mother.

As a journalist and reporter, it is my job to uncover the truth behind the lies. There are three sides to every story: his side, her side, and the truth. The truth is what I was seeking from him, and I hate that I jumped to a conclusion about him.

I am usually open minded, but lately my mind and judgement have been clouded. The hormones and the stress trying to manage three men have gotten to me. I don't know how people do this.

I knew to keep my sanity I would need to pick one guy... it was just really fun to explore my sexual side with all of them. My body told me to keep them all, but my mind was in a full disagreement. It came down to who I wanted for more than sex... Adrian, Cameron, or Jared?

Or Graham? Should I even consider him? Ugh, I need to get out of this hospital because I have had too much time to overthink.

Graham was a keeper of secrets, an excellent giver in bed, and overall, not what I expected. I was shocked when I found out about how he got roped up into kidnapping me. It was never his intentions to hurt me, he was actually brought in to help keep me safe.

Monica had hired two thugs to kidnap me and after her first meeting with them, she knew they were reckless. When Monica gave them a photo of me, Jenny was in it too and they decided to kidnap her. They had shown Monica a board full of survalence images of Jenny that depicted her routine.

She needed help with her plan but had to manipulate everyone around her to do it. No one in her family knew the trouble she had gotten herself into, but she felt she could always count on her brother. Monica exploited her relationship with Graham to get him to agree to joining the thugs in my kidnapping scam.

Using her tears to persuade him, he wanted to help his big sister. He was under the impression that once they grabbed me, we would just hangout while she completed her business deal. She cried and grunted about not getting anywhere in her career because of men and Adrian was the one holding her back.

No one was meant to get hurt and it wasn’t supposed to take three weeks. He admitted to looking forward to spending some alone time with *the beautiful girl in the photo*. I accepted his apology because I knew the lengths in which Monica was willing to go.

That crazy woman needed to be stopped and before I decide to follow Graham off to his cabin, I needed to expose her. I was going to play nice and keep my nose out of her business, but that bitch messed with me too many times. This was war and I wasn’t going to stop until I won.

Graham stayed with me last night until I had fallen asleep. His scrubs and charming good looks made it easy for the staff to accept him. Turnover in the hospital was high, so they were used to new faces.

This morning I had been packing my things and getting ready to leave. Adrian said he was coming to take me away, but I wanted to leave before he could. I couldn’t risk him finding out I was pregnant.

Since I am only 8 weeks, the staff gave me all of my options for proceeding. I couldn’t go through with the abortion, but I wasn’t ready to be a mother either. They let me know that I had time to decide because I was still unsure of what to do.

For now, the only thing on my mind was getting out of here and exposing Monica for the fake she was. And I had a plan for the first half of it. All thanks to Graham.

The plan was pretty good if I do say so myself.

Graham took home his scrubs and a badge he found in the doctor’s bunks, so that he could sneak back in. I knew Adrian would be here as soon as visiting hours started, so he needed to get in here first. The only unknown was how early will Adrian show up to wait.

Once Graham was in, he would need to avoid all detection from the staff. That was the easy part. He had a sweet delicacy to his voice that swooned any female that crossed paths with him, lucky for us 90 percent of the staff was female.

*I could picture him now as I sit here and wait*

His hair pulled high in a dark man bun, black gauges in his ears. The seafoam green scrubs with the white coat would only compliment his sun kissed skin. His square jawline edged with 5 o’clock shadow that only brought attention to his juicy thick lips.

A nose so sharp and symmetrical that led your eyes up to the most exquisite green eyes. His thick dark brows encased his eyes as if they were emeralds in a museum exhibit. Once a girl was eye to eye with him, she was putty in his hands.

He could smooth talk his way through a bank robbery if he wanted. Going unnoticed would be hard for him because everyone’s eyes wandered his body. It was a good distraction though.

All eyes on him as he starts making his way to the nurse’s station to impersonate a doctor. If his looks didn’t distract, then his massive size would intimidate. The male staff would turn and walk the other way when they noticed him.

His large arms barely fit in the sleeve of the scrub top, and it almost looked like it would rip open at any moment. The deep husky voice laced with seduction was enough to cause immediate arousal. The charge nurse wouldn’t see the con, even right in front of her.

Walking casually through the hospital corridors and waving with his open mouth smile. He would absolutely attract attention, but they would be primary focused on his Greek God body. It was the perfect way to get out of this place.

I wish I were a fly on the wall when he walked up with my chart that he had taken the day before. Persuading the nurses that I needed to be transported to the lab for additional bloodwork to ensure my hcg levels were increasing. I came in severely dehydrated and woozy, so there was concern for his cause.

The only flaw in the plan was Adrian. I could see this going one of two ways. Graham makes it here before Adrian and all is well, or Adrian catches him, and they fight it out.

Adrian was predictable to a point. If he said he was coming today to take me out of here, I can almost guarantee that he would be here as soon as visiting hours opened. It was Cameron’s day to come visit and he would want to cut him off.

I also highly doubt that he told anyone of his plan to whisk me away. Jared had gone back to work because he ran out of vacation days. And Adrian never liked my trio ultimatum, he only went along with it in hopes I would change my mind.

Let’s say he were to get here before Graham.

Adrian is a large man, but his tattoo coverage is intimidating. Any man willing to sit through hours of getting their full neck, both arms, chest, back and one leg tattooed was scary to most people. Then you add in the one diamond earing.

He was a prime example of pain. Most people would rather a punch in the face over days of being stabbed by 20 needles repeatedly. It was a sexy bad boy look that a lot of girls drool over and that most men avoided.

Everyone wants a bad boy until he starts to do bad boy things. Like kicking the ass of a guy, you slept with, who also kidnapped you. Or leaving you for dead after an amazing night of pleasurably painful sex.

His sexy high pompadour fade neatly brush back and held in place with gel. Even slicked back it was the only thing that softened his rough exterior. The soft hair contrasted with the resting bitch face that was permanently stapled to his face.

The only thing worse than fearing his looks was his voice. When he spoke, no one moved. It was as if his deep authoritarian voice stunned everyone in the room.

It didn’t bother me because I intentionally tried to piss him off. He was hotter when he was mad, and he forced his dominance on me. Something was seriously wrong with me.

There was no way the nurses would let him in the room before visiting hours. They were sticklers for policies, so no badge meant no entry to the ward. This would piss Adrian off and cause him to enter high alert mode looking out for Cameron.

Graham wasn’t a small blonde man, so Adrian would detect him the second he entered the hall to the ward. There was only one way up and in, meaning Graham would have to pass by Adrian. This is where the problem would start and knowing he was coming to see me would only make it worse.

Both men are over 6 feet tall and have tremendous strength, walls were going to crumble. I had seen the force behind Adrian’s punch and watched as a brick wall collapse under his fist. I didn’t peg Graham as a fighter, but there was no doubt he would defend himself.

If those two men crossed paths, it would be a blood bath and only one of them would walk away. These thoughts only increased my anxiety as I paced around the room waiting for a knock, sound of commotion, or a sign that my fears were real. The clock ticking loudly as I honed my hearing past the door.

Tick…

Tick…

Tick…

Tick...

Tick...

*Knock Knock*

I jumped as the noise startled me. Crossing my fingers and hoping whoever was on the other side wasn’t Adrian. They didn’t open the door until I let them know it was okay.

“Come in”, I spoke with a shake in my tone…
