My eyes opened on their accord not giving me any other option but to brace the light blinding them. It’s like my life has been dedicated to the hospital at the amount of time I opened my eyes. I feel like this is my second home.
” How are you feeling, Scarlett?” A familiar deep voice sounded beside me which sounded relieved and happy to see me open my eyes again and I am grateful too, for the first time in years to open my eyes after the incidents I didn’t want to be in.
” I’m fine, Omer.” I knew I would find him beside me no matter what and the fear I felt in the seconds before I passed out was like hell and I was so afraid that I would never see this beautiful man ever again.
” I’m so happy that you are with me, omer.” His eyes softened, raised his hand and patted my head with so much love and adoration shining in his eyes.
” I Am happy too that you are with me, Rose. I was so scared that I was going to lose you before doing this.” My brows drawn down in confusion at his last words but a gasp stuck in my throat when his lips touched mine for the first time.
His lips are so soft and plump, mine are cracked and dry.
I moved my lips wanting to taste him and he started following my lead moving and nibbling on my lips. His tongue probed my lips asking for permission to enter and I happily and greedily welcomed him.
Slow and gentle kiss turned into passionate and firey kiss making my toes curl in pleasure. I have never been kissed like this, in fact this is my first ever kiss and I’m glad this is my first kiss with Omer.
A throat cleared somewhere in the room, making us pull away reluctantly.
” Don’t stop on my accord love birds!” My face started burning with shame and I know my face looks like a red tomato.
” Shut up, Zayreen.” Omer grumbled, i’m sure he is giving his sister a stinky eye and My friend is a devil incarnate.
” Let me pull your legs please. Iam thoroughly enjoying it.” She is never going to stop reminiscing about this moment.
” Stop it, Zay. Let them have their moment without your nosey self.” Lily scolded softly and came up to me to give me a hug.
I was missing them so much and I am so grateful that they are in my life and they care for me so much. I had never experienced a true friendship before but now I have three friends who can do anything for me.
” Mom and Dad?” I asked Omer who moved from my bedside and stood near the window.
” I sent them to my apartment to get some rest. They were so reluctant to leave you but I requested them to take some time to come.” I don’t know how to thank him anymore, he has done so much for me from the start and always there for me whenever I was in trouble and needed his help.
He saved me from the monster who tried to assault me when I first attended the party in this big city and next from Maria when she attacked me in his office.
I don’t know how I can repay his kindness.
I will find a way to thank him for everything.
” Where is Eli?” I asked, looking behind Zayreen and Lily to see if he was there but he was not.
” Don’t take his name Scar.” Zayreen growled slowly. Ah! Nothing is changed then, evergreen enemies they are.
“Why! Will you miss me if she takes my name?” Eli’s playful voice came behind them making me chuckle thinking about the banter which followed soon after the last word came out of Eli’s mouth.
” If you two start bickering like five year olds then i’m going to throw you out.” Omer warned, making them shut their mouths with scowls on their faces. I know how much they love their banter with each other and Omer has stopped them from doing the same thing.
” Whatever!” They both grumbled in unison and glared at each other for the coincidence and walked towards me.
” I am happy that you are alright Scar. I was so scared.” Elijah whispered with a sad look and lowered himself on the bed beside me and took my hand in his.
” I am happy too, Eli.” I squeezed his hand with a smile. Zayreen and Lily took Eli’s place and they took my hands in theirs.
” I don’t know what I would have done if something happened to you.” Zayreen’s eyes welled up with years making mine well up too. Maybe people will get tired of hearing me say that I got bestest of friends no one has ever got but I will never get tired of appreciating and loving them.
I had a bad example of a friend who tried to kill me but I’m lucky that finally I’m free from her and the past we had. I feel so light after everything. I have been dying inside since Maria made my life hell and now everything feels new and I’m going to start my life again on a positive note.
” Thank you so much guys for being there for me. It means alot to me.” I opened my arms for them to engulf me in their embraces and they happily came forward to keep me safe and warm in their arms.
” We need to have a party.” Eli chimed in still in the group hug earning an elbow from Zayreen who is beside him.
” Ouch! Why did you hit me, Red!” He growled rubbing his stomach and glaring daggers at Zayreen. It’s going to be a war soon.
” You are such a pig, buffoon! She needs rest right now, not a party where people will suffocate her.” She glared right back at him making us chuckle at them because somethings will never change and they are never going to change too.
” Alright guys! Cut it out and let’s go.” Lilly interrupted them by dragging them out of the room leaving a very amused and annoyed Omer in the room.
They yelled their goodbyes and promised to meet me at the apartment when I get discharged in the evening hopefully.
” So? How are you feeling.” Omer asked, sitting beside me on the bed and pulling me into his arms. He feels warm and peaceful, I never want to be detached from his body.
His big body engulfed mine, making me sigh in contempt and giddiness.
” I just feel tired and want to go home.” I croaked out, feeling all the emotions catching up to me at once.
” Hey, Hey, what happened?” He tilted my chin up making me look into his warm brown eyes which held so much love and care for me.
” I don’t know, I…I just don’t want to be alone. I was so scared back there when she…..” He didn’t let me finish before capturing my lips once again in a sweet kiss which made my toes curl and butterflies flapping their wings happily.
” You don’t need to think about anything or talk right now. We have a lot of time in our hands to talk about it. Just take a rest and get well.” He pecked my lips one last time before getting comfortable on the bed and holding me in his arms.
I just want to be in his arms like this forever but I don’t know how he feels about me.
What if he doesn’t feel what I am feeling? My feelings for him is so intense and i’m already thinking about the marriage and babies with him.
What if he wants just a short time with me? What if he gets scared when I start asking him about a long term commitment! I can’t do short term relationships, I am a forever kind of girl.
” Stop thinking so hard, Rose. You will get a headache.” I am startled by his deep chuckle. I was so into my head that I didn’t know he was beside me. I need to stop thinking and just go with the flow.
” Okay.” I whispered, feeling my eyelids drooping with sleep. I hope everything will be the same when I wake up and not from the beautiful dream. I don’t want to be in that nightmare again
