Chapter 215
John
I didn’t thought Cat could have such an effect on me, as soon as she laid her head on my chest I could feel the whole days stress disappearing. We talked about Aria and everything she does in this house and how we had no idea how deep she’s into this life; Cat told me Aria didn’t want to tell her everything. I guess we are all intitled to our secrets. Cat pushed herself up and kissed me, I couldn’t help it I took the kiss deeper, I made her lay on her back while I hovered over her kissing her. I couldn’t stop she tasted so good. But an hand to my chest let me know that it was enough. “I’m sorry John I’m tired.” “Oh God no I need to say I’m sorry I don’t know what I was thinking you are still hurt.” “It’s okay I like the way you kiss you can do that as much as you like.” “Oh, do you know?” “Oh yes I do.” She smiled at me. I went to lay on my side and let her get comfortable before I touched her and held her. “Good night love.” “Night John.” I waited to hear Cat’s breathing change making sure she was sleeping before I passed out of pure exhaustion.
Cat
I was awake bright an early, my wound felt a little better I won’t say I’ll be able to walk the whole day but at least I can walk on my own. John was still sleeping while I went to the bathroom and even showered alone, I couldn’t believe I didn’t wake John up while I was so busy. I felt totally different than yesterday I had more energy and the wound wasn’t as sore anymore. When I walked out of the walk-in closet dressed and ready for the day, John was rolling over to hold me and when he realized there was no one next to him, he sat up so quickly I got dizzy for him. He looked around the room until his eyes found me. “Love you scared me.” I walked closer and sat next to him on the bed. “I’m just so excited to go to New York and I’m feeling much better than yesterday.” “That doesn’t mean you should over do it.” “I won’t.” I leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek. “How did you sleep?” I asked him “Like a log.” “Well, that’s good.” “It’s is I’m also ready for the day.” John got of the bed while I was speaking to him “So where are we going first The Statue of Liberty, the Empire state building, Time Square?” I rambled all the places off. He turned to me smiled and said “The airport.” Then he disappeared into the bathroom. If I could I would have thrown him with a pillow but I won’t dare do that not yet I might just tare some of my stitches.
There was a knock on the door and then I heard Aria “Can I come in?” “Yes” I called back out I mean John was in the shower it’s not like she’s going to see him naked. She walked in with two cups of coffees on a tray. “Coffee in bed what did I do to deserve this?” I teased her “You got shot.” She said flatly. “And why are you up and already dressed?” She asked with a frown on her face. “We are going to New York today and I feel much better.” “I thought he will stop this silliness of going to New York who’s going to look after your wound.” She said not happy at all. “I will.” I said. “Lay down let me look at it.” Aria was not in a good mood so I did as I’m told I laid down and let her look at the wound. “It looks good.” She said. “Do you know if Dario is going with you?” She asked me but John came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. “He is.” John said. “Good his got medical training he can look at your wound.” “I’m not going to let another man look at her wound.” John said. Aria turned looked him right in the face and said “Well you are not trained to so either Dario does it or you have to stay home.” I could see John wanted to argue with Aria it was as clear as day on his face but he was thinking about it and I think he made the right decision when he said. “Fine Dario can make sure her wound is healing.” I didn’t want Dario to go with and I definitely did not want him to look at my wound but if it means I need to stay home if Dario doesn’t go with, I guess he can come with. “Good. I’ll go and have a chat with him.” Aria said as she left the room.
“Why does it feel like I was just told shit by the headmaster at school?” John asked. “Because Aria just did and she acted like a head master.” “Jeez she’s scarry when she wants to be.” “Clearly.” I got quiet “What’s wrong?” “Nothing I just thought the two of us will be alone.” “That was the plan but with you getting shot and the head master just telling me Dario needs to watch your wound; plans had to change. I need Dario to walk on one side of you and me on the other we can’t take a change that people bump into you and the wound opens up.” “Oh, that is also true.” “I’m sorry love.” “No need to be sorry at least Dario will blend in and not stand out like Pedro.” John laughed he actually laughed out of his belly. “I’m glad you think that is funny.” “But it is can you imagine him walking next to you people will think you are a Cartel boss or something.” “They won’t be far wrong, would they?” I said smiling back at him. “No love they won’t be totally wrong.”
