The Bad Boy's Wife (Book 2)

Chapter 8 - Big brown eyes

It's been too long :') ... hello again.

      The day goes by like a bliss and nighttime falls in New York. After spending the day updating herself with Terrence, various tests and antibiotics for her body pain, Emma sits quietly in her hospital room lost in thought. Her memories were all over the place and it was hard to keep up with each one of them. It was causing her to have a headache. She shakes her head to try and let go on the troublesome flashbacks from her accident. A water bottle sits on the nightstand table, she reaches out to get it but notices her hand is a bit shaky. This causes her to be petrified so she pulls her hand back and holds it against her chest as if protecting it. All her life, she's hated hospitals, the smell, the needles, the blood, sick people, and the awful hospital food were the cherry on the cake. 

"I hate it here" she heaved an irritated sigh. She rubs her eyes as they start to slowly close. She drift off into the abyss of her blank mind. Emma starts feeling her body slowly relaxed as she tries her best to remember important things like the fact that she's engaged to Damien Lockwood. She's been scared to fall asleep because she's terrified of not waking up again and for her life to pass her by like nothing. 

"You can be cute when you're mad you know that?" A voice that sends shivers down her spine says. 

"so that means you like getting me mad just to see me look cute?" her voice sounds playful but at the same time the attitude manages to crack in between. 

"Not exactly, because you get mad on your own I just enjoy watching... you can call me a spectator." He laughs and she feels it like a melody to her ears. The little chuckled at the end its what causes her heart to skip a beat. Small fragments of his brown eyes boring into hers made her smile. 

"Im going to kick you"  she says as her legs dangle off the counter in the kitchen. She feels his hands touch her thigh and slowly go up her hips. His touch is gentle and cautious, She gets goosebumps all over her body as his hands start traveling up her back, up to her neck until they arrive to her lips where he softly caresses them. 

"Are you?" he muttered softly and in a teasing tone. 

"maybe..." she says with a shaky low voice. She lays her head on his palm and closes her eyes as she enjoys the warmth of his big hand on her cheek. 

"You're so beautiful... that I'm always so mesmerized whenever I look at you" The sincerity in his voice was so strong that her eyes slowly opened up and met with his. She looks down to his lips and moves in to kiss him slowly but steady. 

He grabs her waist and pulls her closer as their lips go in sync so perfectly, the kiss deepen but it wasn't anything more than that, it was a kiss with a thousand words behind it, words and feelings that couldn't be express through words but through their love language. 

"I love you" He tells her when they stop to get air. She smiled at him. 

"I love you" she tells him. They both chuckled and continued to kiss. 

    Emma opens her eyes abruptly as the memories in her head make her feel overwhelmed. Her breathing is unsteady and heavy, she tries to reach out for the water and this time succeeds to get it. She opens it and takes a big gulp from it. She's been very thirsty so this made her feel better. The clock read 4 o'clock in the morning but it felt like less time had passed since she fell asleep. 

"I need to get up from this bed before I go crazy and my legs no longer work" She says to herself as she flips off her blanket. 

She looks down to her legs and sees they look skinnier than before. She pushes her thoughts back as an insecure feeling starts to crawl is way in. 

"You got this, you can do it... legs I know you can take me at least to the bathroom" Emma pushes her legs off the bed as she weakly also pushes herself to get up from the bed. When they touch the cold tile floor, she shivers. She looks down to the floor in fear of not being able to walk, but she shakes her head to get rid of her worries. 

She stares down to the floor for a good fifteen minutes before actually getting on her feet. she stands there for two minutes before losing balance,  everything happened in slow motion as she prepares to feel the floor impact against her body, this doesn't happen because in less than a second she felt two big arms catch her before she could make contact with the floor. Her eyes were tightly shut and her arms automatically wrapped around this person's neck. She breathes heavily and opens her eyes slowly. 

Her eyes met with the beautiful chocolate brown eyes she dreamt about earlier, the same brown eyes that bored into her big dull black ones. At that moment all she could see was his perfect features and soft lips inviting her to kiss them. It felt like the world had stopped around each other. 

"Damien" She says lowly. She took in all of him as her memories came clashing on her mind once again all of them in disorganized fragments making her overwhelmed. Her eyes filled up with tears and she didn't know why, she just felt like crying into his arms and that's exactly what she did. She started crying into his arms as he hugs her tight but gentle enough to not hurt her. Him himself was in a trance as well, but he finally felt at home. He held her head to his shoulder and with his other arm held her tightly against him as she sobs. 

"I'm here baby..." His eyes filled up with tears of joy and relief.
