18Blessing in Disguise
Chapter 2
The next morning Charlotte woke up groaning when she felt the sun light from her window hitting her eyes. Turning over, she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist.
She smiled softly when she seen Justin was the one holding her. He promised to stay the night with her and he did keep his promise.
She was thankful for him and the guys coming to her aid at the right place at the right time. If it wasn't for them, she didn't know what would happen.
The young woman smiled at his cute sleeping features while he snored away softly. His frizzy hair all over the place on his side of the pillow she slept on and he looked so was like a little boy in his sleep.
Gently she reached out and caressed his cheek causing the man to stir in his sleep. Opening his beautiful green eyes, he smiled a sleepy smile towards Charlotte.
"Hey...you're awake."He smiled at the beautiful girl lying in his arms.
"How are you feeling?"He asked cuddling the woman he met the previous night and saved her life.
"Better and thank you for staying lastnight."She told him with a gentle smile giving him a hug.
"You're welcome darlin'"PJ said with a smile of his own.
"I'm sure your friends are looking for you."She told him about the guys who were back at the hotel waiting on him.
"They can wait...I want to stay with you and just hold you."He let her know winding his strong muscular arms around her and resting his head on her chin looking into her eyes that he fell in love with.
He didn't know why but the more PJ looked at Charlotte his heart skipped a beat. He was falling for her and now she just looked so beautiful and radiant as the sun beamed down on her making the young woman look like an angel.
"PJ..."She started as he slowly in to kiss her as she was wrapped around him and participated into the sensual kiss. His lips were so soft and full of passion and love she didn't want him to stop. Charlotte didn't know what she was feeling but there was something she could feel in his kiss that she could feel his heart race against her.
Breaking the kiss a few minutes later, PJ couldn't help but feel bad that he was kissing a vulnerable and helpless woman that he saved and really didn't know her.
"I'm sorry I kissed you Charlotte, I didn't know what got into me."He apologized sitting up in bed."You must hate me."He rambled on not looking into her eyes.
"Peej, it's okay..."She reached to touch his arm with her small hand.
"I kinda liked it."She honestly told him with a small smile that she couldn't hide.
"You did?"He asked shocked and smiled a little back at her.
"Mmmmhmmm...you're a good kisser PJ."She let him know as she rested her head against his stomach.
As they lay together in bed, a knock suddenly interrupted them as they said come in and a familiar friendly face popped in the door to reveal the Preston resident Stu (Wade Barrett) who came in with two coffees and a bag full of bagels and other stuff that he bought.
"Hey you two...good morning."He greeted as he smiled seeing PJ was in bed with Charlotte as he knew her by name together. He wondered why PJ was in there with her and would ask later but didn't want to badger him yet since they looked so comfortable together.
"Hi Stu."The two of them greeted him as he came in the door.
"I brought breakfast and thought you two would want to eat."He showed them what he brought along."Thanks man."PJ took them from him and put it on the table beside him and got the coffees taking one for himself and the other one for Charlotte.
"How are you my darling?"The tall Brit asked her as he got one of the chairs PJ sat in lastnight and sat beside the young woman's bed side.
"I'm doing okay thank you and your friend PJ here was a gentle man and stayed lastnight."The pediatric nurse explained to the big wrestler as he chuckled softly.
"PJ is a good man and known him for quite a while."Wade couldn't help but have a positive word in for his good South African friend.
"I think he likes you."He whispered to her as she blushed under his watch knowing it was true that after the kiss they shared, she felt something in that kiss but couldn't tell what it was that she liked about it.
"What are you telling her man?"The African native wanted to know after taking a sip of his coffee.
"Nothing to worry about man."Stu reassured his friend with a warm smile.
"So you two an item?"He wondered as to why PJ was in her bed as PJ almost choked on his coffee when he heard that.
"You okay?"Charlotte asked him patting his back gently.
"Yeah...sorry about that."He apologized to her with a small smile.
"What gave you that idea man?"The high flyer asked.
"You're in bed together with Charlotte I assume."The bigger man chuckled seeing they were so cute together and they looked like a match made in heaven.
"Well...lastnight Char asked me to hold her since she didn't want to be alone."PJ explained to him as Stu nodded understanding.
"PJ has been nothing but a complete gentleman lastnight and I felt like not being alone so I was the one who asked for him to hold me and here he is."Charlotte smiled turning towards her guardian angel.
"You know you two are such a match made in heaven and I didn't even notice it till now since Heath and I stayed up lastnight talking about you two and he could see there was a connection between you two."Stu told them as they smiled at one another.
"Well now that you mention it buddy I think you're right."Justin wrapped one good arm around Charlotte and held her close hugging her to him as she snuggled close to his actually loved being held by him.
5 minutes later one of the nurse, Allison who was also a close companion of the young pediatric came in to check on her.
"Good morning Miss Charlotte, how are we this morning?"The dark haired brunette smiled a warm smile at her as she checked over her.
"Doing fine thanks Ali. I was shaken lastnight but I'm doing okay and plus PJ, a good friend he was stayed with me lastnight and this is his other friend Stu Bennett came in to check on us and brought breakfast."Charlotte showed her friend the bag with bagels inside.
"That's very nice of him to do that."Allison smiled warmly at her comrade.
"Thank you for bringing our friend in lastnight Justin..."The pretty nurse was cut off by PJ.
"You could call me PJ...Justin Gabriel is my in ring name and this is my best bud Stu Bennett aka..."He continued on.
"Wade Barrett right?"She explained as the other nurse that worked the evening shift told her when they brought in Charlotte.
"Guilty as charged."Stu laughed a warm laugh at the pretty nurse throwing his hands up playfully in the air.
"You guys are professional wrestlers right?"Allison asked them as she was writing some things down on Charlotte in her chart.
"Yup we are and we just happened to be coming out of a show when we heard Charlotte in trouble and saved her."The South African man put his arm around the girl he sat in bed with.
"That's very nice of you guys to do and she's very lucky to find two nice men to help her out."She felt grateful nothing bad had happened to her comrade that she worked with up in the NICU with the babies and was fully healing as she smiled at the two men.
"Ali, when am I getting out of this joint?"Charlotte was curious wanting to just go home and rest.
"Well this morning and I could get your discharge papers that way you can get out of here."Ali told her friend patting her hand.
"That's great and can't wait to get out of here."The pediatric nurse was happy she was going home.
"Just be careful next time out there will you girl."The brunette nurse reminded Charlotte.
"I promise and sorry for scaring you and the girls lastnight and promise to call Dina and Casey once I get out of here to let them know I'm okay."Charlotte reassured Allison with a smile as they hugged one another.
"I already called Dina and Casey and they said you gave them quite a fright since they came in this morning to work and they said they would call you later I'm sure once they get off from their shift."The pretty brunette explained as Charlotte understood.
After being checked out, Allison would get her release papers ready to be able to go home.
"Are Heath and Zeke around?"The NICU nurse asked Stu as PJ helped her out of bed.
"Yeah they're out in the waiting room, I decided to see you first if that's okay with you love."The Preston resident hoped that was okay with her.
"That's okay."She nodded getting ready to go.
"Darlin' do you need help with anything else?"PJ wanted to know if she needed any other help.
"I'm fine PJ but thank you."She walked over and gave him a hug which made him smile.
"I think she likes you."Stu smiled at PJ.
"You think so?"The South African man asked his comrade.
"You have googly eyes for her man and I ain't stupid when I say you are crushing on her and it's written all over your face."He could easily tell his fellow former NEXUS comrade was falling for her.
"Yeah I guess I am huh?"The green eyed man scratched the back of his neck with a small chuckle.
"It ain't a bad thing man plus Charlotte is a pretty girl, I think you two would make a great couple."The British man told him the truth patting his back.
Allison soon came back with the release papers when she seen Stu and PJ talking.
"Hey guys, is Charlotte in here?"The tall pretty brunette asked them."In the bathroom getting ready to go."Stu and PJ broke from their conversation to see Allison one of the nurses that checked on her earlier.
"Thanks guys, any time she's ready she can sign her release papers to go."She told them putting the papers on the table."And guys, thank you again for taking care of our friend, she's a very nice person and PJ thanks for taking good care of her, you're a good man."She appreciated their help since Charlotte had a good heart and didn't want to see her get hurt and was thankful for the men being there at the right time at the right place the previous night.
"You're welcome Allison."The cute African man shook her hand and Stu smiled and winked at Allison causing her to giggle. She thought Stu was very adorable and he had a very nice smile as she walked away.
When Charlotte was done getting ready, PJ told her her release papers were on the table ready to sign and take up to the desk outside when she was ready to get out.
Stu helped them with their stuff and carried their food for them. As soon as the pediatric nurse signed her name, she took the clip board and gave it to the nurses then met the guys outside who were sitting out in the waiting room.
"Hi Heath...Hey Zeke."She greeted both men with a smile.
"Hey there sweet cheeks, glad to see you up and about."Heath spoke up standing up to kiss Charlotte on the cheek glad to see her doing well."How are you?"He asked her.
"I'm doing great thanks for asking."She appreciated his friendliness and he was sweet to her.
"Glad to see you walking about and recovering dear, you still look pretty as ever."Zeke smiled warmly at the young woman also giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek while she had her arm wrapped around PJ.
"Thank you Zeke, you're such a sweetheart."Charlotte said to him with a smile.
"Any way...are you ready to get out of this joint?"The Southern one man rock band asked her.
"Yup I am and I hope you guys don't mind me dropping me off at my apartment if you guys aren't too busy or have to go anywhere."She didn't want to keep them if they had some traveling to do and knew how busy their schedules were.
"Darlin', we don't mind and we'll be glad to take you."Her guardian angel PJ spoke up putting an arm securely around her as they made their way to Heath's rental car.
As they traveled together, Charlotte felt comfortable with the guys and felt like she was getting to know them as if she knew them forever. It was like getting together with old friends sharing conversations and laughter throughout their journey to her home.
