When Jordan finally awoke, she found herself in strange surroundings and stumbled quickly from the bed. Nurse Bennett appeared from the bathroom that adjoined her room when she heard the commotion. "Where am I? Who are you? How did I get here? And where are my clothes?!" Jordan screeched out exasperated. "Take it easy Jordan you passed out on the beach and were taken to the hospital. Mr. Nichols found you and went to the hospital with you." Nurse Bennett explained in a calm voice. "Where are my things?" Jordan shrieked. "Your beach bag is lying on the chair over there but, I'm afraid that your clothes have been sent to the laundry". Nurse Bennett answered rather bored with the whole situation as she walked slowly toward Jordan. "So what am I supposed to wear out of here this drafty hospital gown?" Jordan spat. "That would be just fine with me but, you might want to at least put on a few undergarments before the public gets a good look at those pink cheeks of yours." Andy stated from the doorway behind Jordan. Stunned by the deep voice and infuriated by the words as well she spun around quickly to see the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. Leaning carelessly against the doorjamb, he looked Jordan up and down slowly, deliberately, taking in her appearance. Her blonde curly locks were rumpled and her face looked pale and confused. The one emotion Andy didn't see on her finely sculptured face was fear. Jordan's anger grew as she watched this devastatingly handsome man insult her not only with his eyes but with his words. For a moment she allowed herself to take in his rugged good looks and six foot tanned, and chiseled frame. Immaculately cut and styled; his short, thick, flock of dark blonde hair was combed to the right, falling ever so slightly over his temple. Full eyebrows framed tender hazel eyes that gleamed with hidden laughter; muscles flinched in his chiseled jaw. Jordan continued to take in Andrew's blue and white button down shirt concealing his broad shoulders and bulging chest to his narrow waist. His long lean legs were covered by a pair of navy blue Dockers that made Jordan's stomach turn somersaults. Though she was furious with this man at the moment, she could not deny her attraction to his good looks. His full lips turned up in a sardonic smile as he watched Jordan look him up and down as he had done her. I'll be damned if I'm going to give this guy the satisfaction of knowing I find him gorgeous or how long it's been since I've had great sex. She thought to herself as her brow rose with an impartial gaze to his smiling one. Nurse Bennett took Jordan's consciousness and Mr. Nichols arrival as her cue to disappear for a minute.
