~~ CARMELA'S POV ~~
I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the light in my surroundings.
My head ached a bit and my throat felt dry.
I had an oxygen mask on and a huge peg on my finger, 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 with a lazy look.
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 said and 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 vivid in my memory and remembering the scene she showed me shook me to the core
" What's with that expression? " I heard Zamiel asked
" I…I feel shaken to the core and cared " I murmured
" Core..what's wrong with your core," he said eyeing me
' seriously can he be 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 you were but you fell unconscious...and you've been unconscious for the past forty-eight hours " He sighed
" What?!! where's my little Amber and hope you ... "
" shh you worry too much and Amber is with the chef… I didn't do anything to her okay and she's not even your child " He scoffed
" 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 for vacation.
Although bthere 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 feel kinda weird not bathing.. " 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 mimicked him and rolled my eyes
What is he even trying to prove that he's the best husband in the world... whatever
I just hope i am safe ..
The flashes from my dream suddenly appeared and I suddenly felt a wave of sadness remembering the snake like dragon which I still couldn't place a finger on where I saw it.
" Hey there " I turned to find the white cat from last time
" You..you're here again? " I questioned
" 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 "
" Well 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 " I heard her say and couldn't help but nod in agreement
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 is Catherine? " I turned to find Zamiel starring at me
' Could he have seen or heard what I told her ? ' I panicked
" 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 rushed in 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 said and 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
~~ZAMIEL'S POV ~~
" ASHER !!! " I called rushing 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 while Xavier and Rain rushed in. Rain suddenly sighed looking at Carmela and myself
" Can you all excuse us I know what to do " she said pushing I, Xavier, and Asher outside the room 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? " I raised an eyebrow
" Oh it's not ...I just smell love in the air " He winked and also 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" she said sniffing
" Are you hungry?"
" No..i 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 taunting her
" 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..
Well I couldn't deny the fact that she looked cut.
Although this feeling seemed strange i always have it whenever am around the same person I claim to hate the most
my little feisty wife
