"You always leave your clothes in the bedroom floor." I tell Xavier after he accuses me of being the dirty one. "There's hair on the shower floor every time you finish." He retaliates. Don't blame me it's normal. "Maybe if you don't stress me as much, my hair wouldn't fall out. You keep leaving the toilet lid up, do you want me falling inside the toilet?" Him and Ajax's laughter invades the room. "Maybe if you wasn't so small, you wouldn't fall in amor."

I take a huge sip of my orange juice, not replying to him because he was right. Today, the doctor will check my shoulder wound. I've been told it's healing well but it's still too soon.
This morning, Xavier filled me in on what happened. Even I was shocked Damien did that to Ajax, they were the best of friends. I couldn't help but feel guilty but Ajax assured us it wasn't my fault.

"It's so boring being stuck in this room." I glum looking outside the big window from my bed. "I can take you to the rooftop garden if you want?" Ajax asks making Xavier uneasy.
He wasn't high but not sober enough to be alone. last night he was with Armard partying the night away and now he was with us for a while.

I understood Xavier took a big step coming to a hospital but I don't want to push him here after all the memories he has had in this very hospital.

Sometimes we hold back to spear each others feelings and our own. "Nah I'm just hungry, pizza anyone?" I ask them picking up my phone.

Xavier pecks my lips and says, "Armard's on his way, He can get it." I put my phone down and stretch my left arm since I was scared I would hurt my shoulder moving my right arm.

Last night, I slept on my left side with Xavier holding me the whole time. The doctors came in the morning to check everything and they said I was alright.

I'd be lying if I said hospital food was good. It was edible but flavourless and mushy. I've been craving something cheesy and hot.

Ajax excuses himself and leaves to his apartment block. It was only 10 minutes away from here so he'd pop around later.

I let out a sigh when Xavier picks up his phone. His eyes shift to mine and he drops his phone in his pocket.

"The mafia." He mumbles kissing my forehead. "Russian boss, Randoff Opman, has been against the spanish armarda for years and now he's also in war with Jordanian Mafia." He seem apologetic like it was his fault.

"My mafia is your mafia. We're working together against Opman, don't you forget he was our enemy before we got married." Father had many meetings about the Russian's ambush. Even one of their men were working with us for years, giving him inside info.

"Our mafia has four allies. Jordan, Italy, China and England. The Russians have no one since they are unloyal and greedy." He tells me. "I've sat by my father for many years. I saw how it took most his time." Xavier was so young and he ran this mafia. I knew with so much work itcould be very time consuming. "I will always have time for you amor. My father and uncle still help me, I just give out orders and meeting with important people."

"And the missions?" I would be super bored at home now that Rosa has decided to move out and I told him I didn't want his fathers workers around our house. I just wanted a normal life him and I. "Yeah, I will hand most of them to Antony since he's the only other I could trust and well I can't let Jax go alone like that." Tony, Xavier's work friend, was around our age. He went worked as Xavier's new assistant since his old one was a very flirty lady which I didn't like.

"Isn't the pressure a lot?" I ask him. Running a mafia at this age must be hard.
"Yeah, it tests my patience most of the times. It's also always in my head regrets, second thoughts, let downs." He plays with my finger fiddling with the ring. "Some days I just think about you waiting in bed for me and my mind is at ease just like that."
