Anna's POV
I look at him as he seems puzzled by my words for a second then starts walking towards me. I know I asked for this but now am nervous.
What happens after he hugs me. Will I be able to control myself. Oh shit! What am I even thinking about?
Before I even figure it out I feel his arms embrace me and a sudden peace engulfs me. I want to stay here like this.
"Where were you?" I ask as I sniffle in his chest. Really! Where did that come from.
Wait....what does it even mean.
"I was here waiting for you to wake up" he says but I don't feel the satisfaction the answer should offer me.
"I waited for four years you bastard....so the fuck were you" I hit his chest hoping to rid myself of all the agony I feel.
I even thought that I didn't have a mate at some point. But this stupid fucker was alive after all.
"Anna....." He starts but I guess he had no suitable answer to give. Am even surprised that my mind could think of such a question.
I gently massage my temples..."And here I thought you weren't clever" I say as I rub it gently.
He chuckles and that brings me back from my little distraction. Now he must think am crazy. Way to embarrass yourself Anna.
"Um.....sorry. I didn't mean to say that loud" I say quietly hoping he picks up on it.
"Cute..." He says barely audible ..,and if I weren't keen then I am sure it would have passed me too.
He is soon handsome. Looking at his jaw and I wish to kiss it. My heart rate picks up and I know he can hear it.
His eyes are green more to my liking because I love green. I want to kiss them too. And his lips....whoaaah....I want to just....wait...where the hell is this heading.
Who is he anyway....wait ...I know he is my mate but I don't even know his name.
I make a move to push him and he obliges and moves to the chair beside my bed. His demeanor changes and I can see hurt...confusion written on his face.
No no no.....don't cry cara mia (my dear) . I don't even think twice when I reach and pull him back.
I hug him close to me.
"Sorry cara mia" I say almost in a whisper. He just hugs me back.
"What's your name?" I finally ask looking at his face. That's a stupid idea knowing myself...I would just start drooling.
"Wait...that's why you pushed me away...?" He asks but I don't even get the question.
His voice. The fuck. This is definitely one of my stupid dreams.
"Darel"
I stay quiet just to avoid making a fool out of myself. That reminds me...I am so hungry.
"Am so hungry" I gently rub my stomach. He stays there looking at me.
Ou ou....things are getting weird.
My stomach grumbles again and I look up at him putting on my best puppy dog eyes.
"Please get me food. I will do you anything. Please cara mia."
Just then the door opens and a lady comes in with a tray of....oh my God...I just pull the tray on my lap and take the spoon and fork.
Darel just stays there lookin in muse... Then I freeze. I remember what I always wished for and a lone tear rolls down my face.
Worry sweeps across his face and he stands as the lady leaves us alone.
"What happened .....are you hurt....should I leave...oh shit ....do you not like the food...oh my should I let you eat alone" he scratches his face and I can see it reddening.
A smile creeps up on my face and the tension on his face reduces.
"I always wished that my mate will always feed me when we met. But its okay anyways" I say as I take the spoon in my hands again.
Just then I freeze. My eyes turn to face him and he just smiles and picks the spoon from me.
He tastes it first then leans in. Ooopsss. I feel his breathe fan my face as he gently pecks my lips and I wish he didn't freeze me.
I can barely feel it but its there. He pulls away and I feel the hold on me release and I hug him and pull away almost immediately.
Ten minutes and am done. He puts the plates away. I don't even know what I ate to be sincere.
But it was sweet considering he fed it to me. Darel. That's all I know about him and I am damn sure I already love him.
Later on he leaves saying that he has some work to do but he will be back to get me.
I waited. I waited and waited. By 9.00pm I was discharged but I didn't want to leave.
Just then the door to the room opening and I rushed there but it wasn't Darel...someone else is her.
"Darel sent me to get you Anna." The man said.
But no... I didn't want to leave from here without him. Call me clingy but that's it.
"Okay. Come sit here. He will come" I say to him as I sit back on the bed.
Two hours later and am asleep. I was feeling tired so I just lay on the bed. The man was sitting on the chair trying to make a conversation but I just didn't feel like it.
Then he walked in. My eyes jolted awake just by his smell.
"There you are you jerk. Sending me someone to get me." I say punching him on the arm. I turn to the other man and offer him a smile.
"Now is when you are smiling. I was trying to get you to smile all that time." He says as he walks out with Darel pulling me being.
By the time am out of the hospital...I feel so sleepy so I just pull Darel back and I rest my weight on him.
"Please..." I say and I blackout.
Darel's POV
I carry her to my home and gently lay her on the bed. I can't stop looking at her. My beautiful mate.
Not once did I think I would get a talkative mate. I think the heavens are punishing me.
I close my eyes and undress her making sure to keep my eyes closed. I put my shirt on her.
I can't believe I have finally found her. My one and only beautiful mate.
When she wakes up...I will make sure to tell her that she is all I want.
Its always been about you Anna. Now and forever. It will always be you mate.
"You"
