Hot 'n' Cold

26

"Adam, have you been awake all night?" I nodded my head tiredly.

"She had blood, I needed to clean it."

"Adam, I know this is hard on you. She would appreciate what you are doing, but you need to sleep." She looked around the room. "Did no one bring you a cot?"

"No."

"I'll have someone do that, promise me that you will take a nap."

"Promise." She stepped out leaving me again. A male nurse came in a set up the cot for me.

"Can I get more gauze, and cotton balls?"

"Of course, did you help clean her?"

"Yeah."

"I did the same when my wife was hit by the car, keep taking care of her." He left and came back with 4 containers of gauze, 1 of cotton balls and a bottle of vinegar. He poured some vinegar into a dish and handed me the cotton.

"Massage the vinegar on the bruises softly, and wash it away after 30 minutes, twice a day, it helps. I promise."

"What's your name?"

"Justin, I'm the nurse on your fiancé's case."

"Thank you, Justin." He smiled and left us alone. I started to work on her bruises, and I did again at night.

The after almost 2 weeks I was used to getting up early. As I poured fresh vinegar into the dish our doctor walked in.

"How are you Adam?"

"I'm doing better."

"That's good, Cleo looks much better."

"Thanks to Justin, he brought me vinegar and its helped so much." Cleo's bruises had gone down, her skin was looking beautiful again.

"Its time to wake her up slowly." I poured out the dish and washed my hands.

"When?"

"Justin is on his way up, so when he gets here."

"Cleo, did you hear that? Soon princess."

"I'm here." He handed the doctor a syringe and the injected it into one of the tubes.

"All we do is wait." And I was alone again.

--CLEO'S POV—

The smell of vinegar and disinfectant burned my nose.

"Mhmmm." I moaned, Adam held my hand tightly.

"Spencer is gone, you are safe." His eyes were tired and bloodshot, probably from sleeping here. I noticed he started to grow a sexy stubble. I attempted to lift my self up, pain shot up my arm. A leafy green cast ran up to my elbow.

"Well fuck me." I laughed

"Oh, my baby, I'm so happy you're alright."

"I have a cast... I'M HANDICAPPED!!!!" He rolled his eyes.

They finally let me go after another week, honestly, it was quite brutal. I held on to Adam as we left the hospital. Alright, I know what everyone is thinking, why is she so trusting? She was kidnapped and abused, and she acts the same. Let me tell you something. Spencer is toxic, Adam and my friends are not, so why should I be scared of the people I trust?

"Do you want to go home, or to the sanctuary?"

"Sanctuary, duh. I bet Rocky is a giant now, do you think he remembers me?"

"You are pretty unforgettable." We walked straight into our office, where all our pets were waiting for us.

Before we left, Rocky was no more than a few inches, and when I looked inside the pen there was a 4ft long iguana.

"Ok Rocky, you're so big."

"That's what you say to me." Winked my fiancé. I smirked and stepped closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him hungrily.

"Tonight babe." He groaned.

We spent the next few weeks making wedding arrangements, I would tell you about them but they were so boring that they put me to sleep. The next morning, I woke up alone, Adam was downstairs watching TV
