Love In The Mafia (book 1)

chapter 17

Marco's Pov*

"okay sir, she had a severe internal bleed, we tried everything we could and we finally got the bleeding to stop. She will be in intensive care for a few days and then she may go home." I let out a deep breath in relief.

"Can we go see her?" my sister said.

"Yes but she hasn't woke up yet but you can sit by her bed. And do you need a change of clothes sir? You can't wear blood into the room."

"No I have a change of clothes, which room is she in?"

"Room 120"

"Can you take me to her after I change?"

"Yes sir."

I picked up the bag of clothes that I had refused to put on and took then to the bathroom and got changed. Before I put on my shirt I seen the love bites Jasmine gave me a couple of nights ago, my fingers traced over them, my eyes teared up just thinking about her. I threw so water on my face before walking out to the nurse and my sister, the nurse nodded and we walked to Jasmine's room. She had an IV in her arm but other than that she looked like my Jasmine, I walked to her bed side and grabbed her hand. I sat in the chair there after pulling it closer, I laid my head by her hand, next to her I felt like I could actually sleep so that what I did.

I woke to someone playing with my hair, I lifted my head and there she was, Jasmine was smiling at me.

"I couldn't die, I promised you I wouldn't go down without a fight." Tears filled my eyes and started to fall down my cheeks.

"Oh Marco, come here." she scooted over and lifted up the blanket for me, I got into the bed, she grabbed my head and soft kissed my head before placing it on her chest.

"I was so scared that you were gonna leave me."

"I can't leave you, Marco. I told you that the day we became boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I know, I love you Jasmine, please don't leave me."

"I love you too, now go to sleep I'm not going anywhere and Layla tells me that you would eat or sleep." I fell asleep listening to her breathe in and out and to the sound of her heartbeat, she played with my hair while I fell asleep.

Jasmine's pov*

Marco slept in my arms which might I say hurt like a bitch, they pain meds were still there just not strong enough but I wouldn't have wanted him sleep anywhere else. When he woke up he left and got me a stuffed bear, some get well balloons, and roses.

The nurse came in and gave him a dirty look for being in my bed with me but we just brushed it off, Layla came in and gave me a hug and told us about the engagement. Carlo proposal went has planned, lucky him, she showed us the ring and damn it looked like it cost a shit ton but it was very beautiful. I was going home soon which I couldn't wait for, I wanted a real shower and to be in my own bed.

Me and Marco played games and watched movies the whole time, no once did he pick up his phone. I loved this man so damn much and I never want to leave him. And as long as I lived in was never gonna leave him and I know he feels the same.
