Mafia Love

31.

"You can meet him now" the doctor finally said coming out of Adrian's room.

I immediately made my way inside. I saw him laying on the bed. He was injured. Very badly injured. There were so many machines near him that it scared me. The place was silent. Only the beeping of the machines could be heard. The dull cream colour of the walls made me feel even more sick in here. The hospital smell, the constant beeping noises, the unhealthy silence, this entire atmosphere was horrible. I never really had an issue with hospitals until now.
My gaze slowly averted to Adrian.

I couldn't see him like this. His eyes were closed and his hands were to his side. He lay limply on the hospital bed looking pale as ever. His breathing was slow and weak. I went near him kissed him and then sat near the bed and held his hand. His hand was huge in my small hands. He always liked holding my hands. He thought it was cute that my hands were small. I gently started rubbing my thumb against his hand and I noticed that he slightly opened his eyes and when he saw me he cracked a small smiled.

It was the best smile he could ever give though he was in pain.

"How....aare.... You?" he asked making my eyes widen.

"I guess I should be asking you that" I said.

All he did was smirk.

Even in times like this he shows up with that smirk.

That same damn smirk.

"I'm good by the way.... But...ahh I'll be better only when you become alright" I said rubbing his hand.

"Sure baby.... I heal fast" he said looking at our hands.

"You seriously know how to freak the shit out of me." I said and I really meant it.

From the time I met him he always managed to scare me but this time it was the worst.

This fear was different.

I was scared of loosing him.

I was scared of him not being able to be with me unlike the other times when I used to be scared of his very presence around me.

"I take it as a compliment because atleast you are scared of someone" he said smirking yet again.

"You didn't tell me about the stupid thing I did" he asked curiously.

Does he really remember it?

I just made it up to keep him from passing out.

But, maybe there is one stupid thing he did.

"well, you made a normal girl fall crazily in love with the world's most dangerous Mafia." I said pretending to be irritated.

"If this is what I get to hear when I get shot, I don't mind getting shot again and again" he said with a smirk.

"Shut up. Don't you dare say that again." I immediately shot back.

He looked at me and faked a scared expression and mouthed an 'okay' and we both started laughing.

"OK you need to take rest now" I said trying to get up but he held my hand.

"Stay " he ordered.

What?

Was he serious?

He could have asked me politely.

Even now he is ordering me expecting me to listen to him.

But I let it pass because he was injured. But I'm not going to stand the ordering and being all bossy side of him with me.

"Ordering me?" I asked raising and eyebrow.

"Take it the way you want" he said.

"If only you were not in this condition I swear to God I...I..." I said but I was cut off.

"Well but since I'm in this condition you can't possibly do anything.... So....don't think of things you can't do." He said smiling triumphfully.

He always knows how to get his way out.

"I guess I told you to sleep and take rest" I said a bit irritated seeing that he had the upper hand in the situation.

"Yes ma'am" he said.

I still looked at him and then he smiled and closed his eyes. Within minutes he had drifted off. The drugs were pretty strong I guess no wonder he slept so fast. I made myself comfortable just next to Adrian because he wanted me to be with him and I didn't want to dissapoint him when he wakes up and doesn't find me in the room.

But that was just an excuse I was giving myself.

The truth was I wanted to be with him.

I didn't want to leave his side even for a moment.

Everything felt so right.

Everything felt so good.

I least expected any of this to happen.

I never expected I would be kidnapped but now I'm accustomed to it.

I never imagined me falling in love with a Mafia but here I am.

I never imagined me praying and crying for a murderer to stay alive but I have already done it

Finally I never imagined staring at a person so shamelessly when they are sleeping but I'm doing it.

He looked good even while sleeping. So peaceful and so innocent. He still held my hand and I smiled to myself.

My back was beginning to hurt so I decided to go out and have some coffee and be back before he wakes up. I desperately needed coffee to keep me going. I hadn't slept properly nor had I taken enough rest and I knew I had to keep myself active for Adrian and only coffee could do the magic. I gave him one last look to make sure he was sleeping before leaving the room.

When I went outside I saw Sarah sitting with her phone. It was clear she was bored. Obviously no one was with her. I stretched myself and I went and sat next to her.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"hmmm nothing. How's Adrian???" she asked keeping her phone in her pocket.

I leaned back and rested my head on the cold wall and replied. "he's recovering. Doc said we can take him in a few days time. Finally everything will be back to normal. We all can live a happy life." I sighed.
"I just can't wait for that to happen. You were right Ara nothing is gonna happen to us. I now realise how much of an egghead I was to try to kill myself" she said lost in thoughts

"well I've forgotten about it. Let's not think about the sad past, instead let's think of the happy future waiting our way." I said rubbing my hands together.

Seeing my action Sarah gave me an understanding smile. I got up up and went to fetch my coffee. Sarah just had her share so she didn't want. After getting my coffee I went back to Adrian's room. He was still sleeping so I quietly and carefully adjusted myself next to him and sipped my coffee.
