Even in Death not to Part [18+]

Chapter 36 - Recovery

I clench my hand around his, he still has me, he's still holding onto my hand, in my semi woken haze I still think I am in the warehouse. I feel his hand but not his arms around me. My eyes flick open, my breathing is heavy and fast, Why isn't he holding me anymore? Where am I?

"Emilia?" his voice brings my heart rate down in an instant.

I look to my right and there he is. One of his eyes is bruised and he has a cut on his lip. He is still in last night's clothes and looks like he hasn't slept. He is battered and bruised but still as gorgeous as the day I first laid eyes on him.

He gets up from the chair and kisses me gently on the lips, he's treating me like I am made of glass.

Everything inside of me screams out for more of him,  I am so euphoric to see him and to see that he is okay, I want to kiss him hard because I love him so god damn fucking much. I press my tongue against his lips, he opens his mouth and our tongues move together exploring each other's mouths, he breathes through his nose deeply and pulls away, I didn't want it to end!

"Why did you stop?" I ask him, hurt and frustrated that he pulled away.

"Because-"

"Because what? I didn't want you to stop" I say impatiently

He laughs and grabs his ribs. God I hate seeing him in pain.

"Are you okay?" I ask, frantically searching his face for an answer.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he says smiling. "How are you feeling? Do you need more pain meds? Shall I get Sarah?"

"Enzo relax! I am okay, I promise you I am okay!" I squeeze onto his hand reassuring him.

"Good" he takes a seat on the edge of the bed next to me.

I want to feel his arms around me, I long to have him lay beside me and just hold me, not in a sexual way but in a deep eternal loving way. I reach out for him as I do I look down and notice his wrist is in a cast. I can see there is a bandage which just shows under his shirt. My body fills with anger for the men who did this to him.

My thoughts of hatred and rage are interrupted by a knock at the door

"Come in" Enzo calls

A gorgeous, petite brown haired, brown eyed girl comes into the room. She's wearing a white lab coat and has a stethoscope around her neck.

"Ahhh the Infamous Emilia is awake" she says smiling "I am Sarah, Lorenzo's cousin and I was the one who patched you back up"

"Thank you" I say genuinely smiling at her

"You are welcome, I am just sorry this happened, and the night before your wedding! I was so excited for a night off of drinking and dancing" she said looking disappointed

Oh my god our wedding!! I didn't realise it was today.

"Don't worry Sarah, it will happen soon enough" Lorenzo said smiling at me.

"Yeah soon.. like tonight as planned" I reply quickly looking firmly at Lorenzo

"Emilia" he chuckled and looked at me realising from the look in my eyes was serious "You are joking right?" he looks confused

"Nope, I am deadly fucking serious" I say very matter of fact.

"Emilia you are laying in a hospital bed for fuck sake, I refuse to let you get married in a fucking hospital!" he said seriously

I turn to look at Sarah, her eyes widened like she knows what I am going to ask

"Sarah can I leave this bed?"
