Which Billionaire

Chapter 39

I close my eyes for a moment, my head laid on Detective Baileys shoulder as I try to unreal from today's events. I take a deep breath and the next time I open my eyes I see Vincent walking towards me. His eyebrows are pulled together in question and the gash on his cheek has small white strips keeping the skin together, I wonder if he needed stitches. The cut on his forehead, from where Tommy hit him over the head with the gun, has a white bandage on it with tape holding it there. We both frown at each other but I'm frowning at him because he limps over to me, not out of pain in his leg but in his ribs. I know the feeling for sure, when I bruised my ribs it hurt like hell to even walk.

I stand and wiggle out of officer Baileys arm, when he gets to me I hug him lightly and he throws his arm around my shoulder, bringing me closer to him "what did the paramedics say?" I ask placing my hands on his chest, the place they kicked him, I wince at the memory

I look up at him but his eyes are on Officer...I mean Detective Bailey, I frown and tilt my head looking back over at him. He stands and pulls down his vest extending his hand out to Vincent "I'm Detective Bailey, nice to finally meet you" he says

I look back at Vincent and he looks down suspiciously at Baileys hand but doesn't take it "pleasure" he says curtly

Detective Bailey takes his hand back and raises his eyebrows with a small smirk "Vincent he's the one that saved us, he's been investigating Theo for two years" I tell him leaving out how he sent pictures to warn us and how he's the officer that was at my house when the whole Amanda ordeal went down

He hums in answer and nods but doesn't say anything, still looking him over. I roll my eyes "thank you again" I say and his pale green eyes move to me and he smiles

"My pleasure, I'm just glad no one got to badly hurt" he says with a nod

I nod back and Vincent pulls me to him and moves sideway so Detective Bailey can walk by. He gives a nod and goodbye to both me and Vincent, he walks away but not five steps later someone stops him with some paperwork. I turn back to Vincent his eyes still on Bailey. I laugh but ignore his jealous glare "Vincent what did the paramedics say?" I ask again, wanting to know

He doesn't answer, I place my hand on his good cheek and turn his face to me, his angry eyes still trying to turn away. I stand on my tiptoes and press my cut and throbbing lips to his, slowly and steadily his tense body relaxes and he sighs against my lips. I pull back a little and place my hand on his chest "hi" I say raising my eyebrows waiting for an explanation and he smiles

"I'm sorry...I just- with what just happened I want you-" he begins to say but I nod

"I know" I sigh quietly letting a silence pass "now will you please tell me if you're ok" I beg

He chuckles "I'm good, they wanted to take me to the hospital but I told them I was fine"

I scold him "Vincent" I sigh

"I'm not leaving you, all they wanted to do was x-Ray my ribs and check my forehead to make sure I don't have a head injury but I feel fine" he repeats

I press lightly on his chest and he groans, I raise an eyebrow "fine Hu?" I ask and he sighs

"They wrapped my ribs, and the cut on my cheek should heel as long as I keep these strip things on it, but I'm fine really" he says holding my bandage wrapped wrists, his being wrapped too

I sigh and nod "ok" I lay my head on his chest hearing his calm heart "I love you" I hug him tight and he groans but chuckles

"I love you to....so much" he kisses my head and holds my neck playing with my dirty hair
