He chuckles, amused by my determination and confidence
"Oh, Is that so? I bet you think you're the toughest, bravest girl around, huh? Well, I'll make you a deal. I'll leave and leave you alone, as long as you promise to behave and get plenty of rest, okay sweetheart?"
-Fine by me...but you also need to rest , look at you...you look like you haven't slept and eaten for days, you look so pale. You should start taking care for yourself aswell!
He sighs but nods in agreement
"Alright, alright. You're right, I haven't been taking the best care of myself. I'll try to get some rest and eat something, okay? I promise . But you need to promise to do the same , alright?"
-I'll sleep now look... *I say as I lay down and close my eyes* ...-Look, I'm sleeping... *I open one eye and look at him * -See I'm already asleep, so you can leave now...
He laughs, shaking his head at my attempt to trick him. He leans down and gently kisses my forehead, a soft smile on his face
"Okay, okay, I get the hint. I'll leave now since you're 'asleep' and all. Sweet dreams, sweetheart."
*mwuahh* I kiss my hand and wave at him as he walks towards the door backwards while still facing me
He chuckles, touched by my sweet gesture.
"Sleep well, sweetheart. I'll be back tomorrow morning."
-Nighty night, love you...
"Love you too."
He smiles and waves one last time before exiting the room and closing the door behind him. Once he's outside his smile fades as he thinks about the situation. He sighs and leans against the wall in the hallway, his thoughts consumed with worry and concern.
As I lay there alone In my thoughts, the memories of Alex's threats begin to resurface. My heart races with anxiety as I imagine him returning and making good on his promise to get me. I feel exposed and vulnerable, trapped in this hospital bed with no way to defend myself. The thoughts of Alex coming back to threaten and potentially harm me sends a chill down my spine. My mind races with worst case scenarios and my imagination runs wild, creating images of him breaking into the room and harming or kidnapping me. I feel a sense of dread and fear that makes my heart pound even faster.
I close my eyes and try to relax, but the thoughts and fears in my mind are making it too hard to drift off to sleep. Every noise outside the room makes me flinch, my senses heightened with anxiety, waiting for something bad to happen.
Just then I hear the door open...
My heart races as the sound of the opening door pierces the silence, instantly jolting me out of my anxious thoughts. I look toward the door, expecting to see Alex, but instead I see a nurse.
-pff... *I say out loud*
The nurse hearing my murmur, looks at me and smiles
"Everything okay, love? I'm just checking your vitals, nothing to worry about."
*I smile back*
-Hey, yes im fine thank you!...have you heard I'm getting out soon? *I say in excitement *
The nurse nods and smiles as she prepares her equipment
"Of course, love. The doctor has been monitoring your progress, and she says you're doing pretty well.
-Yeah, I can't wait to go home...with Matteo. I murmur his name under my breath
"Mmm, I bet you can't wait to go and be with your husband, can you?" The nurse smiles dorky as she speaks
-Yes! He's been taking such a good care of me.
The nurse smiles
"I can tell he cares a lot about you . He visits you every day and stays by your side. He's a good man."
-That's right.
And then the nurse looks at me, I can't exactly read her expression, but right then she speaks up
"So, who's the other man? The one who sent you flowers?" She asks with a curious expression on her face
-The other man? What do you mean?
"A man named Alex, gave me flowers to deliver them to you, but on my way here, your bodyguard stopped me and said that he will deliver the flowers to you, so i agreed." The nurse replies with a unreadable expression
My heart drops as she mentions Alex's name . A wave of dread washes over me as i struggle to process this information.
-Alex...he gave you flowers, for me? Why would he send flowers? And when did that happen?
*At that mind my mind races with a mixture of fear, anger and confusion. Why on earth would Alex send me flowers? And why would he do it through the nurse? I try to remain all as I speak again*
-I have no idea why he would do that....he's not allowed to see me, since he's the one who shot me...
"You mean...he's the one who shot you? And he's not allowed to see you? But he came here and gave me flowers to deliver to you..."
-I don't know but if Matteo finds out he's gonna be so mad!
"Yes I can imagine how angry your husband would be if he found out. But you should definitely tell him about this."
-NO!
The nurse looks at me taken aback by my firm and panicked response
"What, why not? Your husband needs to know that Alex was here and left something for you."
-I know but things are just gonna get worse if he finds out about this...
"I understand your concern, love, but you really should say something to him . He'll find out sooner or later, and the longer you keep it hidden the more complicated things are going to get..."
*I look down*
-Maybe you're right...
"What is it love?"
I take a few seconds before replying to her
-What if he knows? I'm sure his bodyguard told him about this, and he didn't tell me because he thought I might get worried...
