Chapter Chapter-25 September 12th
Reagan's POV
I opened my eyes and looked around, I was in a hospital room. I try sitting up but fall back down because of the excruciating pain emerging from my side. It was covered in a bandage.
The door of the hospital room opened and in come is a messy looking Faith. Her makeup was everywhere, her clothes had blood, her cheeks were stained black with tears and mascara probably.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, she look like a mess.
She come to me and started crying, and hugged me tightly making me wince in pain.
"Im sorry, how do you feel?" She asked between sobs. I hate seeing her cry.
"Hey! I'm fine, why are you crying?" I asked wiping her tears.
"I was so scared, y-you just p-pass out i-in my arms". She cried.
"Well, I'm fine now aren't I?" She nodded.
"I-I thought I-I might l-loose you." She said taking a seat beside me, putting her palm on my cheek.
"I would never do that to you." I said leaning into her touch.
"Well glad to see you alive." Amelia said coming into the room with April and Aron.
April come to hug me and told me how happy they were that I'm okay.
"What happened?" Aron asked taking a seat beside my bed.
"What happened?" I asked confused.
He frown, pointing at the wound on my side, oh yeah right.
"Nothing, it's just a cut." I said brushing away his question.
"Yeah, just a cut which needed 6 stitches and a dislocated shoulder." Doctor said barging into the room.
"Why are you crying." I asked pulling Faithlynn onto my bed and hugging her cautiously.
"I'm sorry, does it hurt?" She asked.
"A little." I said feeling the medicines wear off.
"It'll hurt more when the medicines wear off." I glare at the doctor. Can't he shut his mouth.
"Well, she needs to rest now, come by tomorrow." He said placing a hand on Faithlynn's shoulder.
"Yeah, you should go rest and come back tomorrow, okay.?" I said softly.
But she shook her head 'no' and cling onto my arm. I looked at April for help.
"Come on Faith she needs to rest and you don't look good yourself" she said and took Faithlynn home to come back tomorrow, while I rest here and heal.
..........
I was sitting in my hospital bed when Faithlynn come, she looked stunning. My eyes were glued to her, she wore a green sundress, her wavy hair cascading down her shoulder, and that beautiful smile of hers, just brighten up my whole day, it feels like everything is in a slow motion and I'm looking at her for the first time ever, she had me dazed.
"Hello?" Faithlynn said in a high voice waving her hand infront of me.
She was standing beside my bed, I pulled her hand pulling her on the bed, she sat sideways looking at me confused, I didn't gave her a chance to say anything and kissed her lips, slowly and gracefully, tasting the sweet flavour of her Chapstick, inhaling her scent that instantly calmed my racing heart. She put her palm on my cheek pulling away to breath. And I can't take my eyes away from this beauty I had come to call my wife, how did I get so lucky.
She caress my cheek smiling lovingly at me "good morning to you too". She said.
"I missed you so much." I told her truthfully. Her smile widen.
"Aww I missed you too baby." She said pecking my lips.
We sat there holding hands staring into each others eyes, then the door open and the doctor come into view.
"Hello Reagan how are you feeling, any headache or pain?" He asked looking at the notepad in his hands.
"Not really." I told him. Well my side hurts a little but I want to go home. He noded.
"When can I go home?"
"Your vitals are normal but we have to do some tests, if the tests came out okay, we can discharge you by tomorrow." He said excusing himself.
"Are you seriously okay, I saw you flinching?" My wife asked.
"I'm fine, I want to go home. And cuddle with you." I said looking at her dreamily.
"Did you hurt your head or something?" She asked amused.
"Maybe these painkillers are making me cheesy". I said kissing her palm and putting it back on my cheek.
"Something is definitely wrong with you." She said chuckling.
"Maybe" I said with a sigh.
"Tell me, what's wrong." I looked aways, she make me face her by grabbing my chin gently so I looked into her eyes with my now glossy ones.
She looked at me questioningly tilting her head side ways, encouraging me to tell her.
I took a deep breath, "I was so scared yesterday, I thought I might not be able to save you or worse loose you. When those guys were looking at you creepily, I wanted to burn them, I was so enraged and scared, I-I felt helpless, just hoping to save you. I don't know what I would've done if they had gotten there hands on you. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I promise I'll never leave your side ever again. Please forgive me this last time, I promise I'll protect you with my life. I can't even bare to loose you, I-I "I stopped mid sentence trying hard not to sob, but let my tears roll down my cheeks freely.
"You saved me Reagan, you saved me last night baby, you don't have to be sorry about the things you can't control, that was not your fault, that was my carelessness." She said softly,crying and wiping my tears.
"But I should've come with you and never let you go there, I was just so distracted that I didn't see you turn around the corner and when I didn't see you there, I lost it, I ran towards the only turn and there you were, in danger. Only if I would've kept my eyes on you." I said disappointed in myself.
"Stop it, stop it right now, you are not doing this 'blaming yourself' thing. You had no power on this and you could've done nothing to avoid it. And you were there, you were there to save me and you did. That's why you are in this bed instead of me. So stop blaming yourself, do you hear me". She told me strictly, I nodded kissing her forehead. Calming myself, being in her presence alone calm me.
"You said you need to tell me something before you passed out in the car yesterday." She said and instantly I felt my body heat up making me blush.
"I did?" I asked innocently.
"Yeah you were so persistent to tell me something, so now tell me what it was?" She asked amused.
"You told me to wait for you, and I did, so tell me?" She demanded.
I put my hand at the back of her neck and leaned her into a kiss, she kissed me back with same passion, I licked her bottom lip and let my tounge wander around her mouth tracing her teeth earning a soft moan, I pulled her closer so she straddle me making me wince in pain. She pulled away and climbed back down of the bed.
The blood was oozing out of my wond, I opened my wound, shit! I was enjoying her lips on mine. Faithlynn rushed out coming in with a nurse.
"How did you tear your stiches while laying in bed?" The nurse asked cleaning my wound.
"You should ask that from my wife." I winked at her making Faithlynn blush while the nurse chuckle.
"Shut up." Faithlynn said with a smile, hitting my shoulder playfully.
"When can I go home." I asked the nurse when she was done cleaning.
"Tomorrow, perhaps." I nodded. I can't wait to go home and sleep in my bed.
"Have you visited the citizenship beaurea"? I asked Faithlynn, she was supposed to go and registered our documents in order to get the green card.
"No. I'll go tomorrow, when you are comfortably home."
"I can go with you." I offered.
"No, you need rest I'll be fine, just have to submit some documents and few signatures here and there". I nodded.
"I can still go with you, you know to keep you company, maybe we can go have dinner afterwards." I said hoping she would let me go with her.
She raised her left eyebrow "Dinner?" She asked.
"Yes, dinner. Is there any problem with having dinner with your wife?" I asked.
"Aren't you using 'wife' alot?" She asked yet again raising an eyebrow.
"Why, is there a problem?"
"No." She replied shortly.
"If you don't like it then I won't say it again." I said looking at the mute TV.
"That's not what I meant." She said taking my hand. I nodded.
We sat in silence for a while. "I should get going." She said getting up of the chair beside my bed. I don't want her to go.
"Ummm... Do you have somewhere else to be?" I asked.
"Not really."
"Then, come here lay with me?" I asked hoping she would stay.
"Why?"
"Why not?" I asked back, she sigh and kicked her heels off, cautiously climbing in bed with me. I winced opening my arm for her to lay her head on my shoulder.
"Are you sure you are not hurt here." She said refering to my right side.
"Yeah, this side is perfectly fine, it's just, I haven't moved in hours." She nooded and get in bed, she hesitated before putting her head on my collarbone, then she moved a little down putting her head on my chest, then she moved again putting her head in the crook of my neck, then finally she sat back against the head board, taking my hand from behind her and putting it back on its previous position: my stomach.
"What's wrong, do I smell bad." I asked sniffing my hospital gown. Ofcourse I smelled bad; I smelled like hospital. But she like hospitals, right? She work in these kind of places.
"What, no". She chuckled.
"Then what's wrong?" I asked confused.
"I don't want to hurt you." She said. What? I'm perfectly fine.
"You are not, just lay with me." I asked.
"You know you are completely naked under this gown?" She asked making me blush.
"S-so?" I asked, where's she getting at?.
"So, I can feel your perfectly smooth waxed legs". She whispered into my ear.
"So?"
"So, you waxed?" She asked grazing the outline of my jaw with her index finger. I nodded unable to find my voice.
"What else?" She whispered.
"What else what?" I asked.
"What else did you waxed?" She whispered again, painfully close to my ear, I gulped and answer "full body".
Her eyes widen and then she blushed, why's she blushing?
"Why, what did you have in your mind."
"You told me to do it, I-I thought maybe you would like it, you know when we..." I trailed off.
She stared into my eyes and my breath hitched. I leand into her claiming her lips. She moved a little hovering above me while her hand went to my left knee, her hand started its way up to my thigh, she caress my leg while still kissing me. I tangled my right hand which is the only one workable and tangled it in her hair pulling her closer into the kiss. I need to stop this because right now I'm unable to go any futher.
So I pulled back resting her forehead on mine breathing heavily, while her hand still caressing my leg and thigh.
"Stop, I-I can't take it." I said catching my breath, she chuckled and kissed my cheek, laying comfortably beside me. Her head into the crook of my neck, legs tangled.
After a while she left with a promise to come back tomorrow and take me home.
