Bulletproof love (jaime preciado)

chapter 22

Ellie's POV

I was woken up by the blinding light from the sun that was coming through the window. I then rolled over slightly and looked at the clock.

9:30

I hate waking early, it's the worst thing ever. It was my first night back from the hospital though and it feels so good to be in a familiar place. It was Jaime's house but it was still 100x better than that horrible place they call a hospital. I felt a pair of strong arms that were wrapped round me and I smiled because I knew who it was. I looked up and saw Jaime sleeping and slightly snoring, but he looks so peaceful. I placed my head on his chest and cuddled up closer to him. This is seriously the best place to be right now and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I felt him move a little so I looked up to face him. He was gradually waking up.

"Morning gorgeous" He said looking at me, his morning voice was ridiculously attractive.

"Hey handsome" I smiled. He leaned down to kiss me, I met him halfway and he lightly pecked me on the lips.

"How long you been awake?" He asked.

"Not long, I just couldn't get back to sleep" I shrugged.

"Well, we have the whole day to do anything today because its Saturday" He smiled.

"Can't I just stay here with you?" I whined like a 5 year old, while hiding my face in his chest.

"I wish we could but I'm sure Megan wouldn't want that" He said. I lifted my head and looked at him.

"I know" I pouted, "come on then I'm sure she's awake by now" I added. I untangled myself from him, swung my legs round and placed my feet on the floor, I was still a little rough when it comes to walking but I'm gradually getting there. Also to mention I have a massive boot on, which is a pain in the ass.

I slowly walked on the carpeted bedroom floor round to Jaime's side of the bed and held my hands out in front of Jaime for him to grab onto. He happily took my hands and I pulled him up, I struggled a little because I'm ridiculously weak which made him laugh but I did it eventually. Once he was on his feet we both left the bedroom.

As Jaime headed downstairs, I went to check on Ellie in the spare room. I opened the door to the bedroom and saw that she was sitting on the floor playing with her princess dolls that she brought.

"Hey honey, why didn't you come see mummy and daddy if you woke up?" I asked as I approached her and sat next to her on the floor.

"I did but you both looked happy asleep, so I left you" She shrugged.

"Aw baby, mummy wouldn't have minded if you came in, I would have liked you too" I smiled, she is such a sweetheart. She just shrugged with a smile.

"Come on, daddy's downstairs making breakfast" I said as I stood up. I picked her up off the floor carefully, I struggled a little bit with her in my arms but I managed. I walked down the stairs and walked in the kitchen.

When we got to the kitchen I saw that Jaime was making breakfast. I placed Megan on the floor and she ran over to him.

"Daddy!" She shouted as she hugged his leg. He laughed.

"Hey sweetie, how is my little girl this morning?" He asked as he cooked the bacon.

"I'm good" She grinned.

"And how are you baby?" He asked turning to face me. I love him calling me that, I feel happy to hear him say it.

"I'm good, hungry though" I said as I rubbed my stomach.

"It will be ready soon" He replied. He was cooking bacon, eggs for me and him and blueberry pancakes for Megan.

Once the food was cooked, he put it all on 3 plates and placed them on the table. I picked Megan up and sat her on a chair at the table then I pulled up a chair and sat next to her. Jaime came in and sat opposite us and smiled. Megan was scoffing down her pancakes and Jaime was basically doing the same. It was really quiet and I hate silence so I spoke up.

"What's the plans for today?" I asked. Jaime finished his mouthful then spoke.

"We could have the day with just us 3?" He said but as a question.

"Sounds great, we haven't really had a family day before" I smiled.

"Family day it is then" He grinned.

~~~~~~~

For most of the day we watched films and just done things together. Right now me and Jaime were cuddled up on the couch watching tv while Megan went to play with her dolls for a while.

"I'll be right back, need to go to the bathroom" I smiled as I carefully got up off the couch. He just smiled and nodded.

I basically hobbled into the bathroom with this stupid boot on my leg and did my business. When I was done I looked in the full length mirror on the wall and I hated what I saw. Since the car crash I have a bruised face which I never noticed till now. I poked it slightly and winced in pain, it was horrible. There were scars on my chest and arms, I sighed. I seriously hated my reflection. Why did Jaime not tell me I looked like this!? I eventually got sick of looking at myself and walked out of the bathroom. I walked back into the lounge and join Jaime back on the couch. I sat down and sighed. He looked at me with a concerned face.

"What's wrong babe?" He asked pulling me into a side hug.

"Nothing" I mumbled and forced a smile.

"You sure, you don't seem okay?"

"Yes Jaime, I'm fine" I snapped. I didn't even mean to snap at him, I just hate it when people nag me. His face instantly dropped.

"I'm sorry that I even asked" He sighed and move away a little. Look what you did this time Ellie, well done. I sighed and just sat there in silence. All of a sudden Megan came walking in with drawings all over her arms and legs. I looked at her and laughed. Jaime also laughed a little.

"Look mummy and daddy I have drawings on my body like you two do" She said excitedly. She ran over and sat in the middle of me and Jaime.

"You do, you look very grow up" I smiled at her, still laughing slightly.

"I'm a big girl" She grinned.

"You are sweetie" I said.

"My favourite is this one, I drew you and daddy on my leg holding hands" She said proudly. I didn't know what to say. I just smiled.

"That's my favourite too" Jaime spoke up. He looked at me and smiled, I smiled back.

For the rest of the day we sat together while Megan was showing us her 'tattoos'. She looked so happy. Jaime never asked what was wrong with me anymore but I knew it wasn't the last time, he would ask me again another time. But for now all 3 of us sat together and watch Star Wars again, because Megan wanted too.

This is really just a filler.
