SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 77

CHAPTER 77

I went to Dominick’s bedroom, he is still sleeping and Sage is still working on him. Sage always healed from the inside out. I have to admit Dominick is already looking better. I am sure by tomorrow; he will be awake and looking almost like his old self again. All though it will take him a while to gain back all the weight, he has lost.

Leaving his room, I go straight to my bedroom. Sitting on the bed, I realize how much I have missed it. I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed tonight for the first time in a long time.

Grabbing a night shirt and shorts out of my drawers I went to take a bath. With the huge seashell, tub filled I unbraided my hair and stepped in. Lying back I thought about everything that had happened and everything that was happening now. My life has been so out of control for the last year. I had done a good thing by freeing the fairy women I knew I had. Nobody should have to live being a slave. Plus I had not only found out Dominick was alive I had brought him back. I was almost positive the Angels would reprimand me for my action’s it was just hard to believe they would take away my powers and turn me human again especially with everything taking place right now.

I wished I could talk to Case. I miss him so bad I'd love to hear the sound of his voice telling me everything will be alright. I almost fell asleep in the tub; my body is so fatigued after everything I have put it through for the last week. Stepping out of the tub I dry off then slip on my night shirt and shorts before leaving the bathroom.

Crawling in my bed it feels like heaven. Snuggling under the covers breathing in through my nose, I caught Case’s smell. I would know it anywhere. Inhaling through my nose again I close my eyes. I can almost believe he is lying beside me. His smell reminds me of life. I guess I thought that because of how full of life he always is. I want to see him so bad it hurts. I want to make things right between us.

 I want him to know that I do love him. He will always hold part of my heart. Just because I will be with Dominick doesn’t mean we can’t be friends that I have to have him in my life I’m not whole without him. I know it will be hard, but we can make it work. I fall asleep with thoughts of Case running through my head.

Waking up the next morning, I brush my teeth and hair, which takes a lot of time with it being so long. Leaving my room I went to check on Dominick and see he is sitting up in the bed. Sage was nowhere in sight.

Running to the bed, I throw my arms around him my emotions everywhere I cry telling him how sorry I am that he had been left on the fairy realm that we had all thought he had been killed and how happy I had been when I found out, he had still been alive, and that I had made all the fairies pay for what they had done to him. I felt Dominick pushing me away from him and thought I must be hurting him. I let go and set up on the bed beside him taking his hand in mine.

We set that way for a while without speaking. I didn’t care if we ever spoke I was only happy to sit here and hold his hand. Looking at Dominick’s face all the bruises are gone the only clue left from what he had gone through for the last few months is the hollowness in his cheeks from the weight loss and the fact he still needed a bath. His hair has its shine back. It’s a couple of inches longer than it was the last time I saw him.

“Lana if you don't mind I would really like to take a shower.”

“Ok... Yeah sure I understand” I tell him getting off the bed. “I’ll leave so you can do what you have to do. I have something I need to do myself. I’ll be back later, and we can talk then.” I waited for Dominick to reply. To say something, but he never even lifts his head to acknowledge I’ve spoken. Walking out the door I thought he probably just needed some time to get his bearings back. I mean he has been held prisoner and beaten for months.
