No Strings Attached

CHAPTER 47

"I'm sorry baby, I'm just cleaning it," he murmurs, kissing my temple as the pain overwhelms my body.

I blink a few times as black spots begin to cloud my vision, "Enzo?" I ask, trying to concentrate on what's real.

"Yes sweetheart?" he asks,

"I don't feel so good," I moan, my vision blurring over as my head begins to feel heavy.

Maybe I should've said something earlier.

————

"I cannot fucking believe she was stabbed and didn't tell anyone,"

"The explosion may have had a role in that,"

"So fucking what? She could've died,"

"We all could've died idiota!"

"Stop fucking talking," I groan, opening my eyes slowly to see Ari and Gabriel bickering over me, Issy packing up a First-Aid kit behind them.

"Thank fuck you're ok," Ari breathes, visibly relieved as he kisses my cheek.

I give him a small smile as I look around, glad to see I'm back in my bed in the hotel. My gaze falls to Enzo standing at the door with a glass of water, Lea peeking in behind him.

I furrow my eyebrows at him, he looks terrible. His hair is messy, bags under his eyes, visibly beside himself with worry right now. His bullet-proof vest is still on for fucks sake.

"Ah girls, maybe we'll just let her rest now, you can attack her with questions tomorrow," Ari chuckles awkwardly.

"We just wanted to see if Ana was alright," Lea smiles, darting through her brother before coming and giving me a gentle hug.

"I'm glad you're alive," she grins,

"And by the looks of it, so is Enzo," Issy winks, and I almost let out a laugh.

"I'm glad I'm alive too," I grin, my entire body feeling as though it's on fire.

"You look like you're in pain, so we'll leave now,"
Issy frowns, "Goodnight Ana," she whispers, kissing my cheek.

I say goodnight to everyone, until Enzo remains, standing at the door with his glass of water.

"What happened?" I ask, trying to sit up as he closes the door and walks over.

He puts a hand on my shoulder, keeping me down as he hands me the glass. "You passed out in the car, I bandaged you up then sped back here so Issy could treat you properly," he says in a monotone voice.

"Thank you," I say quietly, finishing the glass before handing it back to Enzo who puts it on the nightstand.

"You still have your vest on," I observe,

"Shit," he mutters, pulling it off and flexing his shoulders. "Get changed then you can come back," I yawn.

"I'll be back sweetheart," he smiles, kissing me before walking back out.

I shimmy over to my side of the bed, aka, the side not closest to the door, and lie down. The pain has subsided by now, but I look strange; with my torso bandaged.

I'm glad when Enzo soon returns in sweats and a hoodie, holding an extra one for me. "Since you're just in a bra," he grins, closing the door and flicking the light off, letting the lamp lead him.

He gets into bed and carefully slips the hoodie over my head, lying down beside me and putting a delicate arm around me.

"You need to sleep," he murmurs, turning the lamp off and leaving us in darkness.

"We got him," I smile,

"We did sweetheart," Enzo chuckles, his lips skimming my forehead. "Goodnight,"

"Goodnight," I yawn.

We got him. We fucking got him.
