Eyes For You ♥ Oscar Díaz

˗ˏˋLove 'ˎ˗

 I woke up to a beeping sound. The room was so bright, my eyes closed instantly as I groaned.

 ,,Hey." I heard from my left. I turned my head towards the voice and squinted my eyes a little, expecting to see Oscar. ,,Mija.. Can you hear me?" my mom said.

 I nodded, now fully opening my eyes. ,,Yeah." I said. Damn, my voice is gone. ,,Agua." I said.

 She went to get me some water, and helped me get up as I drank it. ,,Here you go, baby. What happened?"

 ,,Where's Oscar?" I asked, ignoring her.

 ,,He went home." she said. 

  I frowned. Why did he leave? ,,How long was I out?"

 ,,About fifteen minutes. What happened?" she asked again.

 ,,Why did he leave?"

 ,,Ay, mija, enough with this boy already. He's dangerous, cariño." she told me worried.

 I rolled my eyes as I adjusted so I sat better on the bed, against the headboard. ,,He's not a boy, mom, he's a man. And I love him." I told her. After seeing the shocked expression on her face, I continued. ,,And he loves me too, I know he does." She just looked down and started to play with her fingers. I don't like to disappoint her, but I'm also not gonna stop seeing Oscar. ,,I dropped a plate when I cooked at his house, and I didn't want it to shatter so I tried to catch it. But it was too late. It has already shattered and a piece of it got into my hand as I tried to grab it. He didn't do anything. In fact, he's the one that drove me here, even though I was scared. He's a good man, mama. I hope you would see it too someday." I told her. She just nodded.

 After a while, she finally spoke. ,,He went home with Ruby to get you some clothes. Your dad's at work, and Abuela is home with the twins." she said and I nodded. So he didn't leave me here. I saw my mom taking a big breath before she spoke. ,,Do you think he's the one?" she asked, kind of scared, if you ask me.

 I looked ahead. Is he? I mean, I love him. But is he the one? He takes care of me. He compliments me. He protects me. He loves me. I love him. But we haven't really talked about our future. Though, maybe it's too soon. ,,Honestly?" I looked at her. ,,I want him to be."

 She smiled and kissed my hand as the door opened. It was Ruby, bringing me flowers. ,,Look who's up." he said smiling.

 ,,Aww, you're so sweet." I said as he came up to kiss my cheek and give me a hug.

 ,,These are from me, and this chocolate is from Abuelita." he said.

 ,,You didn't have to, Ruby. It's just low iron probably, that and the sight of blood. I'm fine." I told him. 

 We chatted a little bit, and I told my mom I'll probably sleep over at Oscar's, before they went home. Can't say she liked the idea, but I have my own life now. 

 I looked around for my phone, seeing it on the nightstand. Oscar texted me.

 Suddenly, a nurse came in.. ,,Hello, Ms. Martinez. How are you feeling?"

 ,,I'm good. My hand kind of burns, but apart from that, I'm good."

 ,,Good to hear. I think you are good to go home. We took some tests and everything seems to be fine. Do you have any questions? Could there be something bothering you?" she asked.

 ,,I think I'm all good, thank you." I smiled. She freed me from the monitors and I sat up on my feet. The door opened behind me, and I turned around seeing Oscar. I instantly smiled, seeing the flowers he had. 

 ,,Hola, mi amor." I made my way to him as the nurse left. ,,These are for you. ¿Estás bien?" he asked as he gave me the flowers. I smelled them and put them on a nearby table before wrapping my arms carefully around his neck, as his rested on my lower back.

 ,,Estoy bien ahora que estoy contigo." I said as I kissed him. (I am fine now that I am with you.)

 After a little moment, he pulled away making me frown. ,,Got me worried there, princesa." he frowned.

 I smiled and placed a kiss between his brows, making his frown go away. ,,I'm fine, mi amor." I said as we now stood forehead to forehead. He kissed me again before I pulled away. ,,Gracias por las flores."

 ,,I love you." he almost whispers. ,,Please be careful next time. I don't like seeing you hurt, least of all unconscious." he whispered.

 I smiled at him and we hugged again as I whispered ,,Take me home."

 And we both knew that by 'home' I did not mean my house.

 He opened the front door for me, and I was speechless. There were rose petals on the floor, making a path all the way to the kitchen where the table was all set up. Two candles, two plates and my Gambas al Ajillo in the middle. There was also a vase, I'm guessing for the flowers he brought me at the hospital. ,,Oh, my- Oscar.." The lights were all out, the only light being the candles on the table and some other more, spread across the kitchen counter. I turned to him with teary eyes. God, I love him. ,,You did all this?"

 He shrugged and looked down all shy. 

 ,,Oh, my God. Oscar this is so sweet, thank you." I said as I went to kiss him. I wanted to pull back after a while, but he pulled me even closer, kissing me much harder. ,,You've done so much, thank you. Really. It means a lot. Never thought you'd do something like this, actually." I laughed slightly.

 He frowned. ,,What do you mean?"

 ,,I mean.. What happened was not that.. deep. It was just a cut. And what you've done is way more than what I would've expected."

 He sighed, giving me a look. His hands still on my cheeks. ,,How many times do I have to tell you, mi amor. It was a deep cut, you needed stiches, and I was not just gonna stay here and watch you hiss in pain trying to just bandage it. You gotta lemme take care of you sometimes." He said as he stroked my cheeks and then gave me a forehead kiss. ,,Now let's eat." he smiled.

 After that, we chatted, ate, kissed, cleaned, and went to bed. With my face nuzzled in the crook of his neck, with his shoulder beneath my head, I sighed in content.

 ,,I love you." we both said at the same time and we laughed. 

 Then, he kissed my forehead and stroked my hair until I finally fell asleep.
