Kade's Conquest (COMPLETED)

Kade's POV Before I even hit the ground I knew it was going to be a nasty fall. I am shooting for my upcoming action movie and I like to do all the stunts on my own rather than making someone else do them. I like the rush of adrenaline while I do those stunts but today something went wrong. I fall face front with a loud thud and immediately I hear people shouting my name and asking me to keep my eyes open while someone called the ambulance. It was very difficult to keep my eyes open but finally the darkness consumed me.  I wake up and all I can see are white walls and an elderly nurse checking for something. Once she sees that I am awake she says something and leaves the room. Few moments later a gorgeous woman in a white coat enters with my sister right behind her.  "How are you feeling Kade?", she asks me with a smile and all I could do was nod. I was mesmerized by her beauty. She was hot but more than that, she was beautiful and mind you, I don't call just any woman beautiful.  "You have broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder which was popped back in while you were out and a fractured wrist of your right hand. You are scheduled to go to surgery in half an hour for your ribs and wrist. From what I can tell you should be out of here in about two weeks if everything goes as planned", she continues talking but all I did was stare at her delicate features. Her beautiful brown eyes, the light freckles on her nose and cheeks, her sharp jawline and her red lips. She was a delightful sight for the sore eyes.  "That's all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the doctor that will take you up in the OR. I will meet you there as I have a quick consult right now. See you", saying so she quickly leaves but not before hugging Violet tightly. "Water", I say in a hoarse voice and Violet quickly gives me the glass with a straw in it. I drink the water and feel relaxed.  "Who was she?", I ask her. From their interaction before, I think she knows the her.  "You didn't recognise her?!", Violet asks me with an astonished look on her face.  "No I didn't. I wouldn't ask you if I did", I say in a monotone voice. I swear, my sister acts dumb sometimes. I have no idea how she became a lawyer.  "That was Thea Williams. I am sure you remember her. She was my best friend in school but moved to California. You used to torment her to no ends Kade, how can you forget her?", she says and is satisfied after looking at my face. I am speechless. She indeed was Thea Williams. She has completely changed over the period of ten years. She is no longer the girl who used to wear braces and glasses bigger than her face. She is not the girl who used to be shy and awkward around people. She is a woman now, who is mature and confident than the girl that I once knew.  As I was about to say something, my parents and my PA enter the room looking extremely worried. My mom sits beside me and holds my hand in a very soft manner and kisses my forehead.  "Oh Kade, I was so worried. Why do you always do this to me?", she cries silently and my heart breaks. Even though I am an arrogant and egoistic bastard for the world, that facade does not work in front of my family. They know the real me and know that I am capable of showing emotions.  "Mom, I am fine. Its just another day at the set. You guys should be used to this by now", I say with my well known smirk and she rolls her eyes.  "But sir, that was a very nasty fall. We saw the video", my PA, Nathan, says. He has been there with me from the start and is one of my most trusted men.  "He is right son. You should be more careful", dad says. His face is itched with creases on his forehead and looks really stressed out.  As I am about to say something, a knock interrupts me. "Excuse me, I am Dr. Levi and I am here to prepare you for the surgery", the young boy enters the room and looks like he is an intern. He looks a little flustered and I can't help but smirk. I am used to this kind of reaction.  "Dr. Levi, can you please tell us who is going to perform the surgery on Kade?", my dad asks him.  "Dr. Williams and Dr. Adams will perform the surgery. It will take about two hours if everything goes as planned", he answers and my dad nods his head.  "Do you think we can meet either of the doctors before the surgery?" "Let me check and get back to you in a minute", he says and leaves the room.  He enters after a few minutes with Thea and a male doctor.  "Hello, I am Dr. Thea Williams and this is Dr. Luke Adams. We will be performing the surgery. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate", she says with the same smile as before and mom suddenly jumps out her seat.  "Thea as in Violet's best friend?", she asks in a bewildered voice. Mom always loved Thea whenever she used to come to our house. She used to scold me whenever I used to torment her.  "Yes, that's me. How are you Mrs. Ryder?", she asks with a polite smile while my mom engulfs her in her hug.  "Oh dear, stop with the formalities. Call me Caroline and I am good. Its so amazing to see you living your dream. When did you get back from California?" "I came back a few days ago Caroline and thank you", she says and turns to my father who hugs her as well.  "Well, you have grown into a fine woman Thea", he compliments her and she laughs.  "Thank you Richard. You still look the same", she says and he laughs heartily.  "I would love to talk, but we need to proceed now", saying so she turns towards the intern.  "Dr. Levi please take the patient to OR-2. We will be there in a few minutes and call Dr. Kim and ask him to give the necessary paperwork to the family. Am I clear?", she asks in a stern voice and the guy gulps and nods his head and pages the said doctor before rolling my bed out of the room.  Fuck. If only I wasn't lying on the bed with medicines being given to me through the IV, I would definitely have had a boner. The way she talked was sexy as hell and a huge turn on. In those many years, I had never heard her speak with such confidence and a hoarse yet stern and commanding voice.  As I was prepped for the surgery, Thea and the guy whose name I already forgot entre the OR wearing the scrubs.  "You are going to be just fine. So just sit tight and let us do our jobs, okay?", she says in a very soothing voice and I am put to sleep right after.  When I open my eyes, I see the same white walls and the sound of the machines beeping beside me.  "Hey baby. How are you feeling?", I see my mom sitting beside me. She smiles and kisses my cheek lightly. I try to sit up but someone pushes me back down on the bed, slowly. "Don't try to move son", dad says while calling the nurse.  "You are awake", Thea says as she enters along with a nurse.  "Water", that's all I say and dad hands me the glass with a straw. I drink it and he sets it aside and moves away form the bed so Thea can check my stitches and all.  "You did great back there. The surgery was successful without any complications. You should be out of the hospital in a few weeks depending on your recovery", she says in a soft voice .  "I will come and check up on you later today, try to rest as much as possible and don't move around too much. You are also not allowed to eat anything solid. Just sit tight and if you need anything just press the button above your bed to call the nurse, okay?", she asks and I merely nod my head, not being able to speak much. I feel drained and sleepy.  "I will come and check up in a few hours", she smiles at my parents and leaves the room. The nurse checks my IV once and then leaves, closing the door softly.  "Mom, you should go home and rest. You too dad", I tell them and they nod their heads.  "Cameron is going to stay the night while Violet went home as she was called at the agency", he says and I nod my head.  Cameron and Eli are my two best friends who, other than my family, know me well.  "Well, I thought you would be dancing on the bed by now", Cameron says as he and Eli enter the room.  "Shut up", I say already irritated with their antics. They all laugh at my expense and I groan.  "This is our que to leave. See you tomorrow morning honey and you guys better be good", my mom says while the two just laugh obnoxiously loud.  It was eight when Eli finally left. He has an assignment tomorrow but promised to come in the afternoon. Cameron and I were still talking while someone knocked on the door. Thea enters the room with a smile on her face. She looks exhausted but still manages to smile. "How are you doing? Feeling better?" "Yeah. Much better". "That's great. Let me just do a little workup and I'll be out of your hair", she says and smiles politely at Cameron who looks a bit dazed.  "Hi I am Cameron Parker, Kade's best friend", he introduces himself and she smiles at him.      "Hello, I am Dr. Thea Williams", she says and gets back to checking my stitches.  "Are you the one that Violet talked non stop about?", he asks and she laughs loudly.  "Yeah that would be me. We are long lost best friends", she says and he smiles. "Your stitches look good and so does your wrist. You will recover just fine. See you tomorrow morning Kade. Have a good night both of you and if you need anything just press the button", she tells Cameron who nods and wishes her a good night and I do the same.  After she leaves, Cameron and I talk some more while he eats his double cheese burger, mocking me.  Cameron finally falls asleep but all my mind is clouded with thoughts of the beautiful woman that I have tormented and hurt many years back and now is back in my life and smiling as if nothing ever happened between us. That is none other than Dr. Thea Williams.
