Love Me

Chapter Twenty-Five| Lily
🌸

"I'm fine. I'm fine."  I tell my parents for the tenth time this morning.

My dad just stares at me with a frown and my mum gives me a soft smile.

It's been three weeks since I left the hospital and my parents have been running around like headless chickens.

"Princess, I'm never going to stop worrying about you." My dad sighs and I give him a small smile.

This has been really stressful for him.

Him and the rest of my family have been trying to locate where Adrik is and it's been stressing them all out.

"I'm going out." I tell my dad, putting my bag on my shoulder. His eyes widen and he shakes his head in disbelief.

"Are you crazy? You think I'm going to let you out of my sight? Lily, are you fucking crazy? You just got out of hospital less than a month ago and now you want to go out like you weren't in a coma for two months!"

I bite my lip as my dad begins to yell at me.

"Where are you going, sweetie?" My mum asks.

"Shopping with Elle and Josh." I tell her and she looks at Kaden who is looking at me in disapproval.

"Will you let your dad drop you off and pick you up. I think your brother should tag along with you, just to be on the safe side." I nod my head, agreeing to the fact that my older brother will be coming with us.

He's going to hate it.

"Where's Aleks? Why isn't he going to be with you?" My dad questions and my eyes widen.

There's no way he would of said that a few months ago.

Maybe this incident was a blessing in disguise.

"He's busy." I shrug.

He furrows his eyebrows and pulls his phone from his pocket. I watch him scroll through the phone before he puts it against his ear.

"Aleks, why aren't you with my daughter?" Wow. Just wow. "She's going out.........with Josh and Elle.........right, okay bye." He hangs up and sighs.

"Let me get my keys." He groans and I smile along with my mum.

"It's crazy to think you could of died." Josh states and I slowly nod my head.

"Well I'm here and that's all that matters." I smile, sipping on my milkshake. I grin as I see Ross sat a couple tables from us, glaring outside the window.

He's not happy that he's had to tag along with me.

I look at Elle and frown at how upset she seems.

"You okay?" She shrugs her shoulders at my question.

"It's nothing." She smiles gently and I furrow my eyebrows.

"It's jack isn't it? He doesn't deserve you Elle, he's an idiot." She nods her head but her eyes begin to water.

"I just don't understand what's wrong with me. I don't know what I did wrong, he just dumped me." She sniffles and I sigh pulling her into a hug.

"It's okay, you'll find someone who makes you happy one day." I whisper, stroking her soft hair.

"I want what you and Aleksio have." She giggles and I smile gently. "You two are going to grow old together and still be so in love." I hope so.

Speak of the devil.

My phone begins to ring, Aleks' name popping up.

"Hello."

"Baby, you okay?" Aleksio rushes down the phone. I smile at how worried he is.

"I'm okay. I miss you." I whisper and I hear him sigh down the phone.

"Look behind you." I turn in my seat and a large grin etches onto my face when I see Aleks.

With Ivan.

I hang up and rush over to Aleks, throwing my arms around his waist.

"Hi, baby." He whispers, kissing the top of my head.

"Hi." I whisper back, nuzzling my face again this chest. After everything that has happened I've become a lot more clingy with him, which he doesn't mind.

"Hi, little Lily." Ivan waves and I smile at him.

Ivan and Aleksio, surprisingly after everything that has happened, have become great friends.

"I thought you were flying back home." I question and he nods.

"This evening, thought I'd come and say goodbye."

I turn back to Elle and Josh and smirk when I see Elle staring at Ivan with her mouth wide open.

"Will you be coming back to visit?" I question the tattooed giant and he nods his head, smirking.

"Of course." I smile, nodding my head.

•••

"Tell me you love me." Aleks whispers as I lay on his chest. He strokes my naked back and I smile. "Baby." He whines.

I giggle.

"I love you."

"I love you too." He smiles brightly and I shake my head in amusement. "Will you love me forever?" He whispers.

"Always, babe. Nothing can split you and I apart."

"Not even your dad?"

"Not even my crazy dad."

He smiles.

I smile.
