Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 8 ICU
Reagan The ride to the hospital was uncomfortable. Riggin didn’t say a word and I couldn’t bring myself to say anything either. I waited for the questions to start coming. His jaw was set tight, he seemed a little tense but I couldn’t read him and it was driving me crazy. I always could read people and tell what they were thinking. My dad said it was a gift I had, being able to tell what a person’s intentions were. It definitely was a good skill to have in the business world, and I took full advantage of it. I hated myself for worrying about what he thought of me, I shouldn’t care! I haven’t cared what anyone has thought of me for a long time. He parked the truck running to my side to open the door. His hands gently helped lower me to the ground ever so careful not to hold my waist to tight as he lifted me out of the truck. Normally I’m grateful for silence, not having to worry about entertaining someone else with conversation, but this silence with Riggin is driving me crazy. He’s
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 9 Ribs
Riggin The elevator door closed before I was able to catch up to her. What was that all about? “I was broken before I got here”? What did that mean? I’ve never had a girl confuse me so much in my entire life! Normally it wouldn’t bother me but I can’t stop worrying about her. Last night I was so sure I had her figured out and then today happened. I thought there was something else going on, now I’m positive that there is something she isn’t saying. I push the button waiting for the doors to open back up. Maybe I should just take the stairs. I keep pushing the button again as if that will make it magically open faster. The ride here had been interesting, I wanted to ask her what on earth was the matter with her, going running when she knew her ribs were bruised. How did she even bruis
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 10 BMW
As I pulled into the driveway there was a black BMW with dark tinted windows in the driveway. A man was leaning against the driver side door wearing a black t-shirt with jeans and dark sun glasses. A small smile played across his face as I helped Reagan out of the truck, that is until he got a good look at Reagan. She really did look like she had just gotten in a bar fight and now that I knew more about her I decided that might not be too far fetched. “Ms. Sutherland what happened?” his jaw tightened and he turned to me taking a step in my direction. Great do I look like the type of person who likes to “hit” woman I need to go look in the mirror and double check. “Spencer it’s good to see you I hope your flight was comfortable.” Reagan said taking his attention from me. “It’s really nothing, you know me always finding a way to relax, I had a little spill when I went running this morning and bumped my head.” a frown spread across his face when she mentioned she had gone for a run and
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 11 Dreaming
It didn’t take me long to saddle him up, Cougar had become my absolute favorite horse to ride, he was so smooth it was like he glided across the ground. I still had about an hour before the sun would start setting so I started off at a pretty quick pace. The weather was cooling off and there was a slight breeze in the air. Once I reached the edge of the fence line I slowed down so I could make sure that everything was holding up, there was nothing worse than not knowing there was a break in the fence until your cows end up in the road. Mr. Sutherland always hassled me for being too thorough with my fence checks but I honestly just enjoyed the ride more than anything, plus I was able to save myself some major work by catching things early with my frequent checks. The sun started setting as I reached the back half of the pasture and I knew it was time to start heading for home. As much as I tried I couldn’t stop thinking about Reagan, she had seemed so scared and fragile today. I still
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 12 Scars
Reagan The smell of bacon filled the house as I open my eyes it takes me a few seconds to realize I am on the couch. I must have fallen asleep watching the movie. As I go to move I can feel Riggins arm around me, he’s still asleep reclined on the couch and I’m laying at an odd angle with half my body on his chest. I’m oddly comfortable laying here and I can’t believe I have actually slept all night long, I can’t even remember the last time I’ve gotten a full nights rest. I feel a little guilty that I trapped him on the couch all night. He looks content though and I don’t think I can move without waking him. The sun is coming in through the slits in the blinds streaking across Riggin’s face. I finally get a chance to study his features without worrying about him catching me. I know I need to stop doing this to myself I’m just struggling to keep him at a distance. I can hear Aunt Linda humming as she’s going about the kitchen obviously trying to not wake us getting breakfast ready.
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 13 "Traditional Couple"
A knock at my door startles me, “Come in” I say not looking up from my mac, I hear the door open as I finish up my last email. Closing my eyes and resting my head against the window for a moment. Sometimes its so confusing keeping up all the lies to everyone. I wish I could just tell them but I already know what their reaction would be. I need to just keep doing as much good with the money as I can. I frown thinking about the day they told me about the money and that it was now mine. The guilt that had hit me that day was more than I could handle. Riggin clears his throat startling me I had forgotten someone was at the door, assuming it would be Aunt Linda so he took me by surprise. “Sorry I was just finishing up some work.” stop apologizing to him, you never apologize to anyone so don’t do it to him. I chided myself for once again letting my guard down. “What can I do for you?” I say more seriously doing my best to remove any emotion from my voice. It has become a defense mechanis
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 14 Retail Therapy
What is wrong with you! My subconscious is yelling at me, as my heart speeds up ten times faster than I think is humanly possible pounding in my chest and ringing in my ears. I head straight for the bathroom, and lock the door behind me going to the sink. I splash cold water on my face. “Get a grip Reagan” I say as I slap my face with both hands a couple times. I try to take deep breaths welcoming the pain the comes with them. I deserve the pain for being so stupid opening up to Riggin like that. Ugh!!!! Once I feel like I’ve regained my composure I exit the bathroom. Spencer is standing just outside the door and he gives me a concerned look. “Is everything okay ma’am?” he say’s even though I know he wants to say more he know’s better than to pry. “I’m fine just had a moment of weakness is all.” The girl behind the counter is staring at us since we are the only one’s in the store and the scene I made entering wasn’t very quiet. I just ignore her and start looking at the clothes on
Shattered : Reagan & Riggin CH. 15 Hiding
“Spencer we’re going to go for a little walk if you want to wait in the car or outside its up to you.” I tell him and start to head off in the direction the teenagers were heading a second ago. I don’t wait for Riggin to follow if he doesn’t want to walk with me I’m not going to make him, but it only takes him a few seconds to catch up to me, I relax once he’s there. I didn’t want to admit I wanted him to walk with me so bad. We walk in awkward silence the first block, neither one of us saying what we want to say. “Say something will ya?” I shouted louder than I meant to but I just can’t handle it anymore. I would rather have him ask me questions I don’t want to answer than say nothing at all. “What would you like me to say?” there’s a hardness in his voice that makes me feel guilty for running out of the car. “I don’t know… anything!” I say exasperated and running my hands down my face. I want to scream or hit something I want to tell him how he is making me feel and I probably sho
