His Addiction

Chapter 16: Sleepyhead

"Mmmhm." Meena hummed into the phone yet I still remained enhanced as I watched Aphrodite, trying to convince my self that she was only sleeping.

"Hello, Morello?" Meena sang into the phone.

I shook myself out of daze. "Huh, what were you saying?"

He chuckled into the phone. " I asked how she was doing."

"Ummm, who?" I asked lost as my gaze remained perched upon her.

"Your girl, man." He said with a sigh.

"She's still the same." I said grimly.

"Man, you dad's gonna have a fit."

My eyes widened as I processed what he was saying. "What? How did my father find out about this?"

"It may have slipped Liam's mouth when your father asked him why we were protecting Christian."

I huffed as I ran my fingers through my hair. Before Aphrodite had left I was planning to surprise her with the good news that we had gotten charlie back without much of a showdown. "Great." I murmured sarcastically. "I'll talk to you later. Keep me updated." I said into the phone.

"Will do." He said before ending the call. I sighed as I glanced at her once more.

Loads of memories flourished and danced through my mind. One of her as she walked into my office on the first day I had met her and how I could take my eyes off her curvy appearance and furious yet gorgeous eyes. Her feisty humorous remarks as she approached me about sedating her. The scent of her skin as I kissed down her neck. The feel of her hands working out the kinks in my tense shoulders. Her soft tinted lips caressing mine in a sweet delightful tango as we kissed in my room. The gorgeous laugh that sounded the room as we danced to the Italian songs my father put together for me. I prayed with all my heart that we'd be able to make more and that this one wouldn't be the last one. It was far too dreadful for the story to end here.

I looked up as I heard the door open, revealing a sympathetic Flora. I glanced back towards Aphrodite, not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment. With a sigh she sat down at the edge of the bed.

"Daniel." She said softly. I stayed silent knowing what she would say.

"Daniel, look at me." She said and I slowly looked up to meet her aging eyes. Her small soft hands cupped my face. "I know you miss her -" she started but I attempted to cut her off.

"I don-" I tried to get out. Her eyes hardened and she have me a disbelieving look.

"Don't try feed me that bullshit morello, you and I know damn well that you miss her." she scolded. "We all do."

I dropped my gaze twards the floor in shame as Flora resumed talking.

"Now go clean up and take a shower Daniel I'm sure Aphrodite wouldn't appreciate your smell when she wakes up." Flora told me but I remained in my seat. I wasn't going yo move from this chair until she woke up and I was sure she was safe and with me. I wasn't going to let her out of my sight again.

Flora got up with a sigh and left the room once she realized I wasn't going to budge not one bit. I was alone in the room once more. The only sounds were that of the beeping heart monitor.

Reaching over I grabbed her heatless hand as hope ran through my veins. The dreaded feeling of fear sat on my chest and weighed me down. It wasn't a common emotion for me. I had killed and fought but when it came to the well being of this women nothing was scarier than the possibility of never hearing her gorgeous laugh and seeing her bright eyes again.

"Come back, Cara. Come back." I whispered into the blankets as my head slouched down and my body began to drift into a restless and disturbed sleep.

The striking rays of the sun streamed through the blinds in the room. But that wasn't the reason why I had woken up. It was the feeling of warm pressure surrounding and softly squeezing my hand.

Slowly I lifted my head from it's resting position on my arms and looked up to find bright blue smiling eyes staring back into my surprised ones. With a smirk she threw her head back and laughed. The melody filling my ears and sailed through my mind as I sat dazed by the wonderful sound.

"You're finally awake, sleepyhead."

She was back.
