Racing hearts reunited

Part 14

                                   ~Lando Norris~

"Mia wait" I say resting my head on the door
I knew all I said was out of line the moment it got out. I wait a second there hoping she'd open the door before I say again
"Mia?" Still silence..
"Mia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It came out really wrong...Mia? I'm sorry, You hear me?"
I try to still get her to open the door, but I am shortly snapped out of my apology thoughts back to reality when I hear her yell next to the door

"Lando.. I can't get my.. aghhh" I hear muffled through the door. I press my ear to the door to hear better and I hear her whining. She was close to the door and I could hear her clear.

I talk her into getting to open the door, because in that second I knew it wasn't about my words, I knew she was in pain and couldn't bear the thaught of her being locked in her room suffering, unable to open the door.

In the slight seconds that passed my heart couldn't stop racing, and my mind kept going back and forth to what I said and to what she is going through right now.

She managed to open it and the second I saw the door move slightly I ran down to her, she was rolled in a ball on the floor, sweat running down the side of her head, I knew she was in unbearable pain. She managed to get a few words out before passing out. In the next second I got her up the floor and ran out of the room heading to the hospital.

She opened her eyes slightly in the lobby of the hotel, I thought for a slight second she's fine, but then she fell back into it. Holding her like this, unconsciously, was breaking my heart. I couldn't bear the thought of loosing her...

We got to the ER and I explained everything to the doctors, where and what was hurting, they ran some tests and say it was appendicitis, and decided to immediately take her into surgery. I called her parents down, they needed to sign the permission to take her into surgery since she was unconscious. They were extremely scared and worried for her,which was completely understandable.

A strange thing I noticed when I was filling out her details was that she didn't have any health insurance, which was weird cause I knew she definitely had from the company she was working for . I put two and two together and realized that maybe the reason she's here overall is because she got laid off... and I went on a rant about how she loves her job more than us.. no wonder she had tears in her eyes and slammed the door, I would've done the same.

I was incredibly delighted to see she was alright after the surgery.

                                            •••

When I entered the room she was sleeping, I was glad to see her. Then my view switched to all the tissues surrounding her.. I started thinking what could she have used so many on. Then it hit me. She must've cried last night. I felt terribly bad for her and how her previous night went. As well as for how I talked to her, I keep blaming myself for how low she's feeling. I wish I were next to her last night, to just hold her hand, and make sure she's not crying.

I got close to her and woke her up by accident, and we got to talking, then she asked me to sit next to her on bed, which I didn't refuse.

She started thanking me for a lot of things and in that moment all I wanted to do was kiss her all over. I wanted to kiss her soft lips, her tiny nose, her beautiful eyes, her cute forehead and both her cheeks. I wanted to kiss her neck, the top of her head and her hands. Every single part of her, I would cover in my kisses. But I needed to snap out of it. I should burry my feeling back deep inside like I did our whole life.

There was a moment of silence in which we just sat and looked into each others eyes. I stared down into her beautiful blue eyes, like the deep oceans kissed by the morning sun, they pull me in. I lose myself in their depths, where every glance whispers of endless love and unspoken dreams.

Then she moves closer and I can tell by the sleepy and vulnerable look on her face, she leaned in to kiss me. She doesn't want this, she's just in a hard moment and she's way too vulnerable and tired after her surgery. She's also still preety drugged with all the anaesthesia in her system .

This is all I've ever dreamed of, all I ever craved.. but it's not real. So I pulled away. Making it incredibly awkward for both of us. The whole situation was stinging my chest, I could see she was so confused and embarrassed so I decided to excuse myself, for the best of both of us.
