The snow was coming down so fast you could barely see 2 feet in front you. It was cool driving through the snow, looked like something out of a twilight movie. She had everything she needed coffee, cell, tunes; she just needed to get to this little town to check up on a client. Sometimes being a doctor had it disadvantages but she wouldn't give it up for anything. She almost did for a guy but she was determined that she could have it all, he didn't think so. But now getting close to 40 was becoming a bit challenging to meet someone. Could it happen? Who knows? Only destiny knows!
"Oh Shit!" Susan was not paying attention, daydreaming again! She had managed to regain control of the car after that little skid back there. "Focus, get your head out of the clouds" she was talking to herself now. "As long as no one else answers me I am fine" she said out loud.
Once again she succumbed to her 'what if' days with her ex. She could have been married now with a couple of kids, but it just didn't seem to fall into place. Why did she have to be so brave, she could have worked it out, right? 'Fuck, whatever' was her motto.
Just as she was turning the bend she hit the deer crossing the path. Her first instinct was to slam on the brakes which of course made it worse. She ended up straight into the trees, damn it! She hit her head slightly on the steering wheel because she knew she had to brace herself for the impact.
Now she had to assess what was going on. She was bleeding from a slight cut, but not excessively, however a nice goose egg was forming. Fantastic! She touched herself and could move body parts, bonus. Okay let's call for help, Mmmmm what do I say I am between a rock and tree? Could tell them where I was driving to, but she didn't pay attention to the street names. Fuuck!! Well no reception that makes everything even more perfect. No sign of the deer which meant he survived with no injuries. Hopefully a Good Samaritan will stop by and help.
Now she needed to get out of her car and get her emergency kit in the trunk. She had a blanket and her first aid kit; always had a couple of bottles of water in her briefcase, she would be fine she thought. She tried to pry open the car door, was a bit of a struggle but she got out. Got what she needed out of the trunk and looked around for the deer again, no sign, and saw tracks leading into the woods.
She tried reception on her phone again, no luck. The snow was coming down so heavily her car was covered. She thought she should put on her flashers so maybe by passers could see her. After giving herself first aid she was starting to get cold and wrapped the blanket around her. She drank some water and was trying to find some aspirin, just in case. Okay what to do to pass the time? Well she could reminisce some more to herself! She didn't turn the radio on because she needed them for her flashers. Still no reception on the phone, really you would think that the technology nowadays would be more advanced. She started to doze off and her head fell slightly forward on the steering wheel. She was having a great dream about the man she wanted in her life. He was kind, gentle, funny and very loving. His hands were so masculine and he was so well built that it made her mouth water. She could envision him picking her up and carrying her to the bedroom. She was in and out of consciousness that she failed to realize that someone was actually carrying her. She felt safe and secure, was she dreaming? Then she felt warmth, it felt really good, she must be hallucinating.
She was still out of it when the Good Samaritan picked her up again from his truck and brought her inside his log cabin. He laid her down on the couch in front of his fireplace and she could feel hands against her cheek and forehead. For some reason she could not speak, she knew for sure she was freezing.
When she did come to she realized that she was in a bear hug, strong masculine arms around her and the heat coming from this person was amazing. She tried to speak but nothing came out.
'Well hey there. My name is Jake and I rescued you on the side of the road. You have a bump on your head; your body temperature is back to normal now. Can you talk?' He was waiting for an answer.
'Are you my good Samaritan? Where am I?' Susan answered back.
