"Black looks good on you, Acacia"
My breath hitched as I gradually turned around only to see Damien leaning against the door, smirking at my lingerie-clad figure. His hands tucked deep inside his pockets, his shirt slightly unbuttoned. His thumb pl...
Damien lifted me in his arms and walked towards the elevator. Throughout the ride, he made sure I didn't sleep because I had hit my head so it could be dangerous.
"Acacia? You're awake, right?" He asked, dialling the pin code.
"Mhm," I whispered, putting my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes.
I felt Damien's hand tap my hip as he hummed, saying no.
"Keep your eyes open, sweetheart" I let out a moan of disapproval as darkness enveloped me and I closed my eyes.
I was being laid down and my hand was held between warm, big hands.
"Acacia, here.. Drink this" Damien whispered, putting his hand on my back and helping me sit.
My head hung low, I didn't have any energy.
Curse those psychopaths.
"Please let me sleep" I pleaded, my fingers interlacing with Damien's.
He looked at me before sighing, "I will, first have this."
He put a glass to my lips as I sighed and drank it.
"Good girl, keep going" He whispered, holding the back of my neck as I gulped down the sweet liquid.
He called us good again!
"Medicine?" I asked as he kept the glass on my bedside table.
"Hmm? No, it's carrot and orange juice. Your BP was dropping, I couldn't give you any medicine" Damien spoke calmly and slowly, keeping his arms around my waist.
His embrace always feels so safe.
And warm too!
After all the things Xavier said, I felt really low and upset and of course, the whole Matthew incident really pressured my nerves.
"Damien?" I called as Damien took my coat off.
"Hmm?" He asked, caressing my hair.
"Won't you ask what happened?"
Even I was surprised. I mean how could he not be curious?
He let out a deep breath and untied my shoelaces.
"I will, when you will feel alright"
He's so understanding.
Me loves him!
I smiled weakly before my eyes widened when his gaze shifted over to my knee and ankle.
God! I didn't tell him that either.
"I need you to roll up your jeans" Damien spoke quietly before standing up and walking to the first aid cabinet.
"I'll do it, Damien. I'm okay now"
Damien didn't reply nor did he say anything, just sat next to me and put my left foot on his thigh.
He began to roll up my jeans and I winced at the sight of that ugly bruise.
It had turned this funky maroon colour and the injury wouldn't stop bleeding.
"Oh gosh, that's disgusting. I'm so sorry, Damien" I mumbled, lifting myself on my elbows as I watched Damien work.
He didn't look disgusted nor did he look bothered. His face held soothing calmness and his features were soft.
"Don't be" He whispered, blowing on the wound.
"Take a deep breath and I'll start to clean it up," Damien said, looking up at me.
My face was pained and seriously pale. I couldn't help but panic. I hate this!
I gulped harshly and shook my head, pulling my foot back but wincing immediately.
"Ugh! Ouch!" I cried, clutching my ankle.
"Don't try to move it, Acacia, you'll hurt yourself more" Damien instantly rasped, placing his warm hands around my ankle, gently and removing my hands.
"Damien, please! I don't want this, please! It will hurt too much" I rambled and tried to pull my foot away but Damien held my hands.
"Acacia, I won't touch it until you relax. I need you to take a deep breath" He said, cupping my jaw but I just whimpered.
"No please" I felt so drowsy at this point and the moment I closed my eyes and stopped whining, I felt air blowing my wound and soon a burning sensation rose but before I could react, it was done.
"See, you didn't even get time to react" Damien chuckled as I smiled at him.
HOTTIE'S gonna be HOT
"Now, don't move too much, I'll get you your clothes so just change on the bed," Damien said and walked to my closet as I hummed.
Damien came out with my Tom & Jerry PJs and placed them on the bed in front of me.
"Here" He whispered before walking to the balcony and shutting the door.
Newsflash, Casey, I don't think our limbs are functioning right now.
True, I can't move at all. I think I hit my head too hard.
I can just ask Damien to help me, he is my husband so? Yeah, we should.
"Damien? Could you come in?" I called, raising my voice as I looked at the door.
"What happened?" He asked, walking in.
I gave him an uneasy smile and said, "Can you help me change?"
His green eyes widened for a moment before he nodded.
Thankfully he didn't ask any questions.
Damien closed his eyes and unzipped my blouse before pulling it over my head.
"Give me the shirt, Acacia" He whispered and I handed it to him. Oh, the air is too cool and Damien is too hot.
My breathing was quite abnormal and it came out as roughly as it could.
Damien's hands touched my bare stomach as he pulled the shirt down.
"Sorry" He whispered, pulling my jeans down.
"That's okay" I quietly said before Damien mumbled,
"Could you lift yourself a little?"
He's too nice.
"Mhm, yup" I slowly bucked my hips up a little and finally, the jeans were off me.
What's shocking is, Damien's hands never once touched me and neither did he open his eyes. That just shows how respectful he is.
Once I was fully clothed, Damien opened his eyes and I said, "Thanks a lot"
Damien just nodded and gently put aside all my hair.
He bandaged my head silently and I felt like this was the time, I should tell him about everything.
"I met Matthew.. He was standing outside the hospital and that's why I got hurt. I'm sorry but he found out about you and that I'm married"
I said and Damien looked at me. His eyes were burning with rage but he kept quiet.
I took that as a sign to tell him about the Xavier thing. Maybe it's right? I don't want to keep him from the details.
Give him the deets.
"X-Xavier, he helped me today"
Damien's head shot in my direction and he said, "How are fuck do you know him?"
I looked down, "He is a famous actor, Damien.. Of course, I know him"
Damien rolled his eyes and put his hands on each of my sides, "I know that, goddamnit, but how do you know I know about him?
I breathed in and said, " I asked about your best friend.. I got to know about Xavier. I'm sorry, Damien"
Damien just licked his lips and before he could say anything, I snapped,
"He is a horrible man and I slapped him too"
I thought Damien would be angry but he just chuckled, "Good girl. Next time you see him, kick him, you know where"
I couldn't help but smile as I kissed his cupid's bow.
Damien's lips curled up into a smirk as his green eyes sparkled with amusement.
Love him that much?
"I will" ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ─── It's been a month since that incident and Damien has been so cautious of me and my health. He is always making sure he picks me up and drops me off.
It's sweet and heartwarming, isn't it?
Right now, I am sitting in the court.
Why? You may wonder?
Well, as his wife, I am supposed to be his escort so today is his hearing on a very important case so here I am, watching him work.
From time to time, Damien would check up on me but he was very focused on the case.
What's the case?
It's the man who hurt his wife in the washroom, in Venice.
Who's the wife?
Me, Mrs Acacia Mcknight.
You are so very proud, aren't you?
I am, I am so proud of Damien because he has worked day and night to win this. Who was the man, you may wonder too?
Well, the man was the helper of the opposing lawyer who had apparently held a huge grudge against Damien.
"I would ask most respectfully, your Honor, for a ruling" Damien confidently said, keeping his file on the desk.
I smiled proudly and kept my eyes on him. He looked so handsome in the lawyer's attire and what's more attractive is, his confidence.
I could hear the chatter of the crowd before everything became silent and everyone anticipated the judge's decision.
"The verdict is proven guilty," The judge said as I instantly fell back in my place, content.
That's it! Damien won! Yes!
Sigh of relief.
"This court is adjourned," The judge said before the bailiff added,
"All Rise"
Everyone present in the court stood up as the judge walked out.
Damien too walked out and I followed.
The moment I reached him, I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. I'm warning you, don't suffocate hottie!
"Congrats! Damien, you did it! See, I told you!" I excitedly said.
Damien chuckled, wrapping his arms around my waist and now, my legs were flying in the air.
We both disregarded all the stares and just lived in the moment.
Yeah, no one cares.
I felt lips on my neck. Damien had kissed my neck, ever so softly. Ah, his lips are so very warm.
"I did it for my wife, how would I let him get away after hurting you?" I could hear the smile in his words.
I caressed his soft hair, "Thank you, dear husband"
******** He's so nice, isn't he?
And understanding too!
