~~ CARMELA POV ~~
I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the light, my head ached a bit and my throat felt dry.
I had an oxygen mask on and a huge peg on my hand, a drip was connected to my left hand and I could hear the beeping of machines.
I took another look at my surroundings and I wasn't at the hospital instead I was in Zamiel's room. I tried moving but my body felt numb. The door suddenly opened and Zamiel walked in, he had a straight face but once we made eye contact he gave me a small smile.
I wanted to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating but I couldn't as my hands were numb.
" you've finally gained consciousness " he took a sit beside me. Taking in a deep breath I removed the mask
" w...water " I managed to say but it came out more like a whisper which Zamiel seemed to have heard as he helped me sit up supporting me with a pillow and helped me with a glass of water. I couldn't remember what happened or how I became unconscious
but the figured of the lady with dark hair and blue eyes were still evident and remembering the scene she showed me shook me to the core
" what's with that expression? "
" I. I feel shaken to the core " I murmured
" core..what's wrong with your core," he said eyeing me
' seriously is he anymore stupid, or is he trying to play innocent ' I rolled my eyes
" It's an expression Mr. Dean .. and what happened how did I get here. I remember that I was with Xavier and Amber " I questioned
" yes but you fell unconscious...and you've been unconscious for the past forty-eight hours "
" What !! where's my little Amber and ... "
" shh you worry too much and Amber is with the chef...not as if she's your child "
" so what ...and why did I fall unconscious ? "
" no one knows.. your reports say nothing Asher advice you to have as much rest as possible "
" Okay..and my cooking classes? "
" I already called and informed Raymond that you wouldn't be attending class for the next one month "
" What one month !!! I was only told to rest and not to be turned into a handicap " I said half screaming
" you aren't going to spend the next month on the bed your dad called and asked us to meet them at x island for some kind of vacation...but I told him you were sick and he asked us to come over once you're better " he informed and I sighed.
Every year dad takes us to his island, there aren't many people there except the caretakers. He says the island is a very special place to both him and mum as it was the place he first confessed his feelings to her.
" I'll go freshen up then so we can start going, " I said trying to get off the bed but he held me back
" We aren't in a rush and you were asked not to move an inch so remain on the bed"
" but I want to freshen up " I complained
" then I'll give you a sponge bath but don't move an inch... I'll go get you something to eat "
he said and exit the room.
' then I'll give you a sponge bath what a show of' I taught to myself and rolled my eyes
what is he even trying to prove that he's the best husband in the world... whatever
I just hope am safe .. the flashes from my dream suddenly appeared and I suddenly felt a wave of sadness
" hey there " I turned to find the white cat from last time
" you. you're here again? " I exclaimed
" yes I told you that I'll always be here to help you and you seem disturbed " she sat up looking at me
"hmm.. actually I had this dream and it kinda felt so real "
" hmm since you only had it once then forget about it but if it becomes frequent then ... "
" then? "
" keep calm and take note of everything in your dream it might be a revelation "
she might be right and why in hell am I killing myself about that dream
" what's your name, " I asked as last time I didn't have the opportunity to do so
" Catherine," she said and disappeared
" Catherine " I called hoping she would come back but she didn't
" who's Catherine? " I turned to find Zamiel starring at me
' could he have seen or heard what I told her ? ' I taught about to panic
" no one " I replied with a straight face and he nodded
*. *. *
my abdomen clenched and my head aced very badly, the pain from my stomach was just unbearable and moving my legs was just impossible..beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I looked around to notice I wasn't in Zamiel's room.
it suddenly came to mind that we were on Zamiel's ship; cruising to island x
The rust smell of blood filled my nose and I began seeing things appear double
" ZAMIEL!!! " I screamed as the pain became unbearable but got no response
" ZAMIEL !!! " I called again and the door flew open
" Carmela what's wrong " he came toward me
" my...my stomach hurts, " I said as tear's streamed down my face, his eyes suddenly scanned my body and his expression changed
" Carmela you're bleeding" he gathered me in his arms and exit the room.
The pain was just too much and I couldn't stop my tears, my eyes were open but everything was pitch black
" ASHER !!! " I could hear Zamiel call
~~ZAMIEL POV ~~
" ASHER !!! " I rushed to Asher's room, I couldn't understand why Carmela was bleeding she wasn't injured so why is there so much blood
" Zamiel what's wrong? " Asher rushed towards me
" I don't know what's wrong Carmela is bleeding " I laid her on the bed
Xavier and Rain rushed in and Rain sighed looking at Carmela
" Can you all excuse us I know what to do " she said pushing I, Xavier, and Asher outside and shutting the door
" Zamiel don't worry she'll be alright," Asher said patting my shoulder
" you sure? "
" yes," he said and left
" hmm.. someone seems to be worried sick about his wife, " Xavier said grinning from ear to ear
" meaning? "
" oh it's not ...I just smell love in the air " he winked and left
" what an idiot "
' you see even the people around you have started noticing your change of behavior towards her ' my subconscious started again
" just shut up " I scolded
' Whatever '
The door opened and Rain came out giving me a faint smile
" what's wrong with her? "
" well... it's her monthly cycle don't worry she'll be alright she assured and left
I walked into the room and Carmela was lying on the bed with a duvet covering her body
" how's your stomach? " I asked and she turned to face me with puffy eyes
" it's okay"
" Are you hungry "
" no am fine," she said and I nodded taking a sitting beside her
" so do you mind telling me what happened back then " I questioned and her face turned crimson red
is she feeling shy or embarrassed?
" I ..it's...my monthly cycle nothing else "
" Ohh..then you should start calculating your cycles we wouldn't want this incident repeating itself," I said and she rolled her eyes
" It's just this once..you shouldn't behave like it always happens " she scoffed
" it's not my fault that your family wishes for you to be pampered " I smirked
" hey don't involve my family in this unless... "
" Unless what? " I raised an eyebrow
" don't worry I'll teach you a lesson once I get dressed and better as for now you can keep taunting me," she said and pulled the duvet over her head
something about the way she behaved felt childish and I seem to like it..this feeling was strange but I always have it whenever am around the same person I hate the most
my little feisty lamb
