Mafia Marriage

Chapter 14

JENNIFER'S POV

So much noise from machines surrounded me yet silence, no conversation, I was alone in the hospital room. Yes I know I'm in a hospital let me save you the whole waking up completely lost hospital scene. We all know how that goes. 

This sucks though, I mean I expected someone to be here waiting for me to wake up, I was hoping someone would care. Hollywood, making people long and hope for situations that won't happen since forever. Call me a hopeless romantic but I love the scenes when the girl is in the hospital and when she wakes up her prince charming is sitting there worried just waiting for her eyes to open up. 

Instead I'm stuck with a mafia boss, or future one not that it matters, that will shoot me when I disobey. 

Romantic? No, I don't think so. 

"Hello? Sleeping Beauty just woke up does anyone care?", I mumbled not bothering to look around. 

Yeah, I just called myself Sleeping Beauty I'm pretty sure I don't look as good as she did when Prince Phillip woke her up though. Okay enough with the movie talk seriously I think I'm obsessed. 

"Miss. Roselli you're awake thank God.", I heard a voice say.

I turned to my left and a young girl nurse was standing by the door. She probably heard me call myself Sleeping Beauty how embarrassing. . had I really been that lost in my movie thoughts that I didn't even hear her come in? 

Let's not forget about books, I love movies, but I love books even more my favorite is the Fallen series second favorite is Vampire Academy and third The Vampire Diaries. Do I have a thing for angels and vampires? Absolutely. I mean if Nathan was a vampire or angel I might be inclined to marry him and not run away. 

Nathan, I can't believe I hadn't thought of him. Was he okay? 

I heard a small cough and I looked up. Damn. I forgot the nurse was there maybe I had hit my head really hard or something. 

"Miss. Roselli you were in a umm accident if you do recall", the nurse said trying to find the right word. 

"Yeah I remember is Nathan here in the hospital too? Call me Jenny by the way", was he here?how long had I been here anyways? 

"Mr. Nathan is here in one of the other rooms of course he suffered severe injurious not as perilous as yours however. You've been here a day short of a week Miss. Jenny", the nurse informed me. She read my thoughts! How did she know I wanted to know how long I'd been here?! 

I've read that vampires can read minds I'm not saying she's a vampire but she did read my mind so. . . . . Wait what if Nathan is a vampire. This would be like a Wattpad story, epic. 

"Miss. Jenni sorry to disappoint but you've been saying all these things out loud I did not read your mind", the young nurse said trying to stifle her laughter. 

"We did have to give you strong medication because of your injuries so that may be affecting your thoughts and actions Miss", she continued as she looked at me expectantly, probably waiting for me to say something stupid again. 

"Oh I knew that, a week? I've been here that long? Wow, anyways can I go see Nathan?", I asked her I really needed to talk to him about his family drama. Not only that but I needed to know more about what happened with Vincent and Violet. 

"Of course Miss. Jenny he's 5 rooms to the right from this room" she said smiling she seemed really sweet. 

"Thanks and call me Jenny just Jenny without the Miss. What's your name?"

I started getting off of the bed but the minute I put pressure on my leg pain shot up through my body. 

"Its Brenda and you're gonna need a wheelchair, Jenny", Brenda said looking at me with a sorry face. I nodded and she walked out and returned shortly with a wheelchair for me, I don't think I'll be running away any time soon. No pun intended. 

After I got in the wheelchair Brenda tried taking me to Nathan's room but I told her no because I needed to get used to getting around in it. I rolled to the door and opened it, it wasn't that difficult to use actually I feel like I'll get tired after a while though. I kept going 'til I was in front of his door and before I could talk myself to leave I opened the door but instantly regretted it. 

There on the bed was Nathan who seemed to be in no pain whatsoever, I mean if he really had been in pain he wouldn't have a half dressed nurse on top of him right? 

I guess they were too caught up having fun that they didn't hear me come in. I coughed to get their attention and Nathan turned to me alarmed probably thinking I was a threat. If I were a threat why the hell would I alert him that I was here that'd be stupid. 

"Oh it's you what do you want Jennifer? Can't you see that I'm busy? ", he visibly relaxed and now his face looked more annoyed than anything.

"I came to see if you were doing okay but I see you're well taken care of", I said as the nurse shuffled to get her clothes on. When she finally did, she left the room but not before winking at Nathan and giving me an eye roll, classy. 

I sat there a few moments then turned the wheelchair around and left. Is it stupid that I felt betrayed? It's an arranged marriage what did I expect right? I did try to escape. But I don't know fighting and almost dying alongside him made me feel a little closer to him.  

He's a man, he has his needs and I don't plan to satisfy them. 

I have to stop being a romantic fool and get it through my skull that this is purely business.
