The Devil's Angel

Chapter sixteen

Damian pov

She awake Damian, Cass is awake..
This words were what I have been praying to hear for the past four days.
With speed I ran to the infirmary and behold laid my angel smiling from her bed.

Dam....

Ssshhh.... Mio angelo, don't talk. You had us worried.

Indeed she had us worried, Jules, marshal were more annoying than ever. The joy she brought wasn't there anymore.

Huh, Dam how long was I out. She said

"Four freaking days girl" Jules said entering with Marsh, Amanda and John along side Rose.

What! Four days how. What about my sisters and my mom". She couldn't keep the question from running, to her, family was everything and that made her perfect for me cuz nothing is more important than family.

"Relax girl, everything is fine, your sis, are in school like nothing happened, your mum is at your house, she been here for the past few days since Dam told them about you and all".. Trust Marshal, that boy know when to step in. I was lost through out the conversation taking in everything about her. She was thin and her rib cage were showing and it made me feel bad for what I and Hugo did.

"Mum was here, how, hope she didn't embarrass herself". She said burying her heads in her hands. We all knew of her mum attitude even though I couldn't explain it but I have been keeping close tab on her that the least I could do for Cass.

"Quite the opposite she was fun to be with, told us all about you and when you were little", Marshal said smiling. On her face was disbelief and truly I didn't blame her not from all her mum has told us, my baby girl has endured a lot and these changes would come as a shock to her.

I could see where her eyes were going and obvious even in her current state she still care about those around her, the wounds of our fight which were now scars but most importantly she was looking at my new ones, wondering how I got them. God know I couldn't bring myself to tell her they are punishment for my sins. Jules being more observant and taking in with keen interest spoke up "don't worry girl, it nothing he can't handle, at least he brought this on himself". Her statement spikes lot of questions in my girls head filled with anxiety "what do you mean Jules, did anything happen while I was here". She had to ask.

"Of  course, a lot did, Marshal has to laid it out on Damian for what he and Hugo did to you. It was fun watching him go crazy you know. It not everyday Marshal goes on rampage". She said giggling like it was nothing, leave it to Jules to be dramatic, what we see as been serious she takes it as a joke. She asked Marshal and his reply broke my heart more, I knew my brother was grieving, though he doesn't hate me but he blames me for his pain.

We all spoke for awhile before we had to let Rose do her thing. I knew I had to take her home so I went to change. Cass is someone who I can't be classic about, for me she someone I need to be myself with not the mafia boss with excess money. When the time was due I went to pick her and on Rose request I had to make sure she took her medications. The drive to her house was tense, so still that the silent spoke of lots of words needed to be said, I didn't know how or where to start from and it was clear neither did she.

"Cass, am sorry for the fight and everything, I didn't want to be this way. Am so sorry". It was Paramount she knew how sorry I was, the guilt in my heart was killing me and if left alone the mere sight of Cass was enough to end me. Her response brought ease to my heart but it wasn't still enough. I am not a man known to beg, apologized or cry out for mercy but here I was begging and deeply sorry. I knew she holds no grudge against me but I needed to ease the pain in my heart that I kept apologizing that what came next took me off balanced. She kiss me. For few minutes I was still trying to grasp what was happening, it was like a dream come true, how I have long to kiss her, to taste her, to feel her but with all these I didn't want to make her feel like I was pressuring her with my own feelings and needs.
