《Fall in Love with Me》Chapter 7
Advertisement
I woke the next day. I had a pounding headache. Events of last night popped in my head. The last thing I remember was the guy trying to pull me out of the bar. Then I blacked out. Oh shoot.
Where was I? I looked around the ceiling. I was in my room. Well not my room but the room Alessandro lent me. I sighed happily. At least I was home.
I looked around the room. Alessandro was sleeping next to me. What was he doin he here? How the heck did I get here?
Just then Alessandro woke up and looked at me. "Oh you're up." He said in his Italian accent. "How are you feeling? Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm ok. I have a headache, but I'm fine besides that. What happened last night?" I blushed as I asked him. "The last thing I remember is a guy pulling me towards the exit and then I blacked out" I blushed even harder.
"I was going to meet you and Matteo at the bar, when I got there I saw that a guy was taking you outside. I told him I knew you and he left, then I brought you home. I wasn't sure if you were ok, so I spent the night, just to be sure" he explained.
"I think I was drugged" I said in a low voice and I looked down.
"Maybe, are you ok?" He looked at me with concerned eyes.
"I am. It's just a headache. I don't have any other symptoms so I'll be ok. Trust me I know" I said.
"I know that doctor. I just want to make sure you're ok" he said.
"I am, thanks for helping me last night." I said.
"No problem. I'm going to be home today, so if you need anything just look for me in my office" he said.

I nodded and he walked out of the room. When he closed the door I went into the restroom.
I took a shower. I felt dirty. So dirty. I opened the hot water and just sat in the tub.
I was having a panic attack. What happened last night triggered some bad memories. I always pushed those memories away.
After about an hour I finally got out of the shower. I changed and headed downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast I decided to go talk to Alessandro. I wanted to ask if there was any update on the clinic.
I heard him yelling at someone "why the hell would you take her to a bar?! She was drugged! And you were nowhere near her! What if something happened to her?!" I could hear Alessandro scream.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted her to relax a bit. She's always looks so tense. I owe her my life. I just wanted her to have some fun" I heard Matteo say.
"Something bad could of happened to her! If I wasn't there that man would of taken her! Don't you understand how serious this is?" He yelled.
"You took care of him didn't you?" Matteo asked. What does he mean by that?
"Trust me, he won't ever try to take another women again" I heard Alessandro say. What did he mean? I feel like I got a different version.
Then I heard someone coming around the hallway. I decided to knock on the door before I was caught eavesdropping.
Alessandro came to the door. "Oh Aubrey. What can I do for you?" He asked.
"Are you busy? I wanted to ask about the clinic." Then Matteo's head popped out from the corner. "Oh Matteo is here I'll just..."
"No come in" Alessandro said.

"I walked in" Matteo immediately hugged me.
"Aubrey I'm so sorry for leaving you alone. I promise it will never happen again" he hugged me harder.
Hugs always made me uncomfortable, especially with a guy like Matteo. I saw him as a younger brother but he looked very attractive.
I was uncomfortable with hugs in general. Except when it was with Sandy or with one of my little patients or their families.
"It ok Matteo. I'm fine." He finally let me go.
"If you need anything let me know. I'll leave you two to talk" Matteo said and walked out of the room.
"I didn't mean to intrude. If you're busy..."
"No. What did you want to ask?" He said.
"Well first if you're had a date when we can start?" I asked.
"I'm still busy at the moment. I'm closing a deal. Give me a few more days. A week tops" he said.
I nodded "ok that's fine. I'll run some ideas by you next week then" I said. "I guess that's all then" I said and headed towards the door.
"Aubrey wait" I looked at him. "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight. We can start discussing ideas and maybe get to know each other a little bit more." He said.
"Um ok sure. Are we dining here?" I asked.
He chuckled "no I want to take you out to dinner" he said.
"Ok, what should I wear? I always feel underdressed everywhere you guys take me" I said and blushed. I can't believe I just admitted that to him.
"Anything you wear is fine" he said. I nodded and walked out.
I headed to my room. The afternoon went by in a blur. I decided I should get ready for dinner.
I decided to wear a nice blouse and black dress pants along with flats. I knew I was still underdressed but at least I wasn't in jeans.
I brushed my hair and applied a minimum amount of makeup. I heard a knock at my door. That must be Alessandro picking me up for our date. Scratch that. I mean dinner.
