Dr. Alyssa Brewster loved the way her new BMW convertible handled the curves on this winding road. She was not traveling very fast because these were tight turns.
As she slowed a bit more for the next turn she saw a school buss rounding the curve coming the other way. It was half in her lane. She saw the bicyclist on the side of the road. She thought she could miss both of them. She heard a slight thud as she passed the bike. She looked in the mirror and saw the biker tumbling head over heels then stopping in a heap along side the road. She hit her breaks and slid to a stop off the road.
She turned off the engine and jumped from the car and ran back to the biker. He was sitting up now.
"Are you hurt badly", she asked. She looked into clear sky blue eyes set in a very handsome tanned face. Blood ran from a cut above one eye and he was holding his left leg. The knee was bleeding and the toe of the sneaker was shredded. He was covered with dirt, grass, and bits of trash.
"Where do you hurt? I am a Doctor." she said. About that time the school bus driver ran up. "How is he."
"I think he will live. I see nothing life threatening."
The man on the ground looked at her. Her grinned, showing white teeth with a trace of blood on them. "Beautiful lady, this is an erotic dream, right?"
Tears ran from her large brown eyes and down her chocolate colored cheeks. She wiped her eyes and held his wrist as she took his pulse. She took the pulse a second time surprised that it was not very elevated. She looked at him more carefully now. Blood ran into his eye from a cut on the brow. He had bloody spots on his shirt and on his legs. The worst was the left knee and the toes looked bad.
"How do you feel?"
"Not too bad, my left foot hurts pretty bad, other than that it is minor pain."
Alyssa pressed on his eye brow and the trickle of blood stopped. She looked at the bus driver. "Here put your finger on this while I get my bag." She ran back to her car. She pulled off her heels and slipped on a pair of flats she had in the back seat, she grabbed her bag and ran back. The man on the ground smiled at her, "I loved your little heels."
She smiled back, "Thank you, I think you are feeling better. Listen, cell phones don't work here. The nearest paramedics are ten miles away. Let me take you to my house and get you cleaned up. Then we can see if you need to go in for stitches. OK?"
"Sounds good to me, let me get up and see if I can walk. She helped him up. The bus driver helped her get him to her car. He looked at her car, "I'm not getting in there and ruining those beautiful white leather seats with blood."
She said, "Go ahead."
"No, do you have an old towel or blanket in the trunk?"
"Hey, yes I do." She ran back and opened the trunk. She came running back with a blanket she spread over the seat. He slipped slowly onto the seat. She closed the door. The bus driver told her his name and she wrote that and his phone number and address down. He said, "Lady it was not your fault, I was out of my lane and in yours to keep from hitting a dog. I'll stand up for you in court."
"Thank you very much. We will have to see how things work out. I'll be in touch."
Alyssa climbed in the driver's seat and started her car. The biker looked over at her. "My name is Brad. Bradley P. Murphy the third to be exact. Most people call me Trey."
"Are you related to Dr. Brad Murphy?"
"Yeah, sort of, he is my dad."
"Really, he is my neighbor. Are you a doctor too?"
"No, Mam, not hardly."
"Oh! I know who you are, you are the Marine Colonel son."
"Right."
"Is that your truck and trailer behind his house?"
"Yep. That's is my net worth. All my worldly possessions set behind Dad's house."
"I'm taking you to my house to get you cleaned up. I'll call your dad in just a second when I get you in the house.
She let him lean on her to get him in her house. He was worried he would bleed on her dress or on her floors. She let him ease down on a kitchen chair.
"Please, Dear Lady, change your clothes before you start with me. That dress is really hot on you, don't ruin it, your husband will be very upset."
"I am not married but I'll run and change if you don't mind. I'll call your dad while I do it, maybe he can give me a hand."
Just as Alyssa entered the kitchen there was a knock on the door. She opened it and Dr. Murphy entered. "Trey, boy you look like hell, how do you feel?"
"Don't bother me Dad, I'm busy admiring this beautiful little girl in her shorts and T-top. Wow!"
"Trey, this lady is a very, very fine doctor, so mind your manners."
Alyssa smiled at both of them. "Leave him alone when he is complimenting me please Dr. Brad. I love it, but he makes me blush."
"Oh! I hadn't noticed you were blushing." He grinned.
She said. "I think we can handle everything here. Let us get him up on my kitchen table and see what we have. I'll get hot water and a bunch of wash cloths and towels. I put a butterfly on his eyebrow to stop the bleeding, I think it needs a stitch or two, what do you think?"
