Just A Bittersweet Memory

Chapter 18- Is this a Dream?

(Lewis' point of View)

It was a tiring flight from Italy. Before I went to my penthouse, I called Red and Neo to meet me there. I told them everything and I showed them my gunshot wound. They were disappointed because they were not around during the dock incident. Red called Airy to check where they went.

Airy told Red that they went to the bar and they accompanied Mia. She said that Mia is a lightweight so she was drunk. I immediately grabbed my phone and called Mia.
She answered, "H..helloo!who..'s this?" Hearing her slurred voice made me want to go to her as fast as I could. She didn't turn her phone off so I heard her vomiting.

I asked Airy and Devan to meet me at Mia's apartment. They are her best friends so they have a duplicate key.
I looked for her in her room but she wasn't there then I went to the bathroom, she was lying on the floor. I carried her to bedroom, bridal style. I requested Airy and Devan to wash her and change her clothes. I placed paracetamol and water on her table because I know she'll be needing it when she wakes up. When I'm about to go out of her room, she pulled my hand and said "Please stay with me!"
I kissed her forehead and said "Sweet dreams sweet pea!"

I planned to stay in her living room and when I again attempted to go out of the room, she said "Is this a dream?"If this is a dream, I don't wanna wake up!I miss you Superman!"
I smiled and I slept beside her. She found her way to my chest and snuggled. My wound is not yet totally healed. I felt the pain but the happiness being with her is worth it.

(Mia's point of view)

I felt muscular arms wrapped around me. I can smell a familiar scent of mint and woody. Can this be real? I know this is just a dream. Lewis will not return for me. I asked Lewis in my dream to stay beside me. I felt his soft lips on my forehead. I hugged him and in him I felt safe.

I woke up with a terrible headache. The sun was shining so bright so I closed my eyes and when I opened it, I saw the most handsome and delicious man on my bed. I realized that this is real and not just a dream. To my surprise, I jumped into bed and hit him hard on the chest while saying " I hate you! Don't you ever leave me again!". He was just laughing while he winced in pain.

He said, "Whoa sweet pea! You have so much energy in the morning for a petite lady who was drunk and lying on the bathroom floor last night."
I checked my self by looking at the mirror and noticed that I'm in my pajamas!

I said,"My gosh! Did you changed my clothes? Did we have s*x?"
He answered, "Oh no sweet pea! Airy and Devan changed your clothes!"
I won't take advantage of a drunk Mia and if we ever did what couples do,
I guess you will remember every minute of it and I want to hear you screaming my name than having you unconscious!" I blushed and smiled.

Lewis placed his left arm on his chest. His tight white shirt hugging his perfectly sculptured body is now covered with red color stain.

I said,"Is that blood stain on your shirt? Superman let me check you!" He answered, "It's just a small wound and it's healing. I just forgot to clean and dress it up."
I checked his wound and it looked deep. I read books about different kinds of wound so I know that this is a bullet wound.
Tears fell uncontrollably down my eyes. My Superman was hurt. I felt so guilty because I doubted him. I told him that from now on, I will be the one to clean and dress his wound until he's healed.

He said, "Don't mind me sweet pea. You also need to rest."
I replied," I will take care of you Superman!"
I gave him the Paracetamol instead. My headache is gone from the moment I saw him but his wound will have to wait in order to heal for few more days.
