Xavier’s POV
“You cussed.” Upon hearing that I looked up. She was struggling to open her eyes. I quickly stood up. Once she adjusted to the light, she looked around for something.
The moment her eyes met mine, she gave me a smile. Its was a weak smile, But that was more than enough for me. I stood there frozen.
“You cussed. You said the ‘F’ word. You have to put money in the cuss jar.” She said making me chuckle. It was something she came up with.
Apparently, I was cussing a lot. Hence she placed a cuss jar. Every time I cussed I have to put money in it. At first I didn’t care about it. But when she reprimands me, I found it so cute.
“Screw the cuss jar. You are awake.” I said as I took her hands. She glared at me playfully But started to smile at me. The moment she smiled at me, I couldn’t help it but to hug her.
“Ow!” she said and that’s when I realised the wound. “Oh shit. I am so sorry. Gosh I am such horrible person. Urgh-” I kept rambling when she stopped me.
“Stop. I also wanted to hug you. Come to my right side and give me my hug.” she said shyly. I chuckled at her as I went to the other side.
She moved to let me seat. But I lay beside her as I nuzzled my face in her neck and hugged her. She hugged me back.
Just then everyone came in. Seeing them, she tried to pull away, but I didn’t let her. I don’t care about what other has to say. I needed her in arms.
I know she is glaring at me, but I don’t care. I nuzzled my face deeper into her neck and took in her scent. It comforted me.
“Tiger you are awake.” Dean said as he came to hug. Without realising I was beside her, he hugged her. It turned out to be a group hug.
Dean pulled away, after some time. “You, missy gave everyone a heart attack.” Andrew said playfully glaring at her. She just smiled sheepishly.
“How are you dear?” My mum and dad asked at the same time. “I am fine. Please don’t worry about me.” she said as she worried about my parents.
I lifted my head. “Bella White Sanders. It we who should be worried about you. Not the other way round.” I said as I nuzzled back and hugging her tighter.
“Son, what are you doing? Let her go.” my mum said frowning. I shook my head and only closed my eyes and hugged her.
Everyone start to laugh but I couldn’t care. “You gave us a fright.” Ava said. “Yeah. My brother literally went Godzilla on everyone.” Emma said smirking at me while I glared at her.
“Come on Emma, don’t pull his leg.” my mum warned her. Everyone talked to her for awhile more before they started leaving. Dean and Emma went back to Dean and Bella’s place.
They both needed each other. So did Andrew and Ava. It was just the both of us, We were in a comfortable silence.
“Xavier.” she called as I hummed in response. “W-What happened to h-him?” she asked. I instantly tensed. She sensed me tense as she start rubbing my arms in a comforting way.
“He is dead.” I said with no emotion. She just hummed in response. I got shocked. She snuggled into me and hugged me.
“Thank you so much Xavier.” she said. “You never have to thank me, babygirl.” I said I rubbed her waist in a comforting way. I saw a white dress in the corner. It was covered in blood stains.
That’s when I realised something. “Baby, why were you in a wedding dress?” I asked confused. The wedding dressed looked awful due to how revealing. At that point of time, I couldn’t care less.
But now I was curious. I felt her become tense. I rubbed her waist making her calm down. She took in a deep breathe.
“H-He wanted t-to marry me t-that d-day.” she said making my blood boil. “H-He h-hurt me, X-Xavier. s-so badly.” she said as she started to sob. I hugged her tighter.
“I am so sorry I wasn’t there babygirl. I wish he was alive right now so that I could torture him to death.” I said as I felt myself getting angry.
Sensing my tensed she placed butterfly kiss at my chest calming me down. “Don’t say that Xavier. You are a better man than him. And its never your fault.” she said looking into my eyes.
I nodded my head. I nuzzled my face to her neck. “I was so scared that I was going to lose you.” I croaked out.
“You are never losing me. I am always going to be with you.” she said assuring me. I hummed in response as we both fell asleep in each others arms.
Next morning.
I woke up with arms wrapped around my torso. As I looked down, I saw the love of my life sleeping peacefully.
She looked so peaceful. As I looked down at her, I saw the bruises that was caused by him. I started to get angry. How could he hurt an angel like her.
I sighed as I caressed her cheeks. She started to groan as she flutter open her eyes. She looked like a little puppy. I smiled at her.
Her eyes followed the hand that was in her cheeks to my eyes. The moment our eyes met, she start to blush as she hide her face in my chest.
I chuckled and hugged her tighter. “How are you feeling now, Love?” I asked her worried. “Better. Thanks to your hug.” she said in a muffled voice.
“Someone’s cheesy early in the morning.” I said as I chuckled. She just hummed in response. I saw a scar in her arm as I draw circles around it. She instantly tensed.
“What is it babygirl?” I asked her. She took a deep sigh. “Do you hate me for my scars?” she asked me timidly. I quickly woke up.
“No! Why would you say something like that.” I asked her exclaiming. “They look ugly. I look ugly.” she said trying to hide her face.
I took her face into my hands. “Are you crazy? You are the most beautiful girl I have seen. Heck, you are hot, sexy, stunning gorgeous-” I rambled on.
She shut me up by kissing me. I was stunned for awhile before kissing her back. We slowly pulled away.
“Thank you so much.” she said as tears flowed out. “You don’t ever have to thank me, for loving you.” I said as I wiped her tears away.
Just then the nurse came in. “Good morning Mr and Mrs King.” She said. When Bella heard this, she started to blush profusely.
“W-We a-are n-not.” she stuttered. “I’m sorry.” the nurse said as she went the machine. “Not yet babygirl.” I whispered into her ears and felt her shiver.
“Ok. Everything seemed fine. Although there might be some bleeding from the stitches. Just don’t do much that would cause stress on the stitch.
You also need a lot of vitamins and protein. Take your meds promptly.” she said as she smiled at us. We smiled in return as she walked back.
“Come on. Its my turn to take care of you.” I said as I got up. She giggled. “Are you going to be my nurse now?” she asked giggling.
I smiled at her giggling. Its so happy to see her smiling and happy. Just then the door opened and Dean and Emma entered.
