Chapter 23: Chapter 23

How cute!!", Annie said from behind which made me to jolt up from my sleep.

I had totally forgotten I was still holding Drake's hand.

"Hey!!", I said as I rubbed my eyes.

I stood up and looked at Drake. He was still sleeping peacefully.

"Here have bought you some clothes", Annie said as she handed me a bag.

I collected it from her and smiled.

" Thank you", I said as I found my way to the bathroom not far from Drake's room.

I looked myself in the mirror and found out how messed up I looked like.

I got under the shower and started bathing.

I made sure I scrubbed all the dirt and most especially the places where Austin hands touched.

I got out of the bathroom and dried my hair and wore the clothes that Annie brought for me.

It was a skin fitted jeans and a loose blouse.

I went back into Drake's room and found Annie sitting at the corner.

She was yawning and she really looked cute.

I guess she's already tired as I walked up to her.

"Baby!! I think you should go get some rest", I told her.

" What about you?", She asked.

" Am fine, just go home and rest", I said to her.

She stood up and gave me a food bag. I bought this along, you must be hungry by now.

I smiled at her and collected the bag from her.

I followed her to the entrance of the hospital.

"I will bring some food and clothes for you in the morning", she said.

I pulled her closer to me and hugged her.

I made sure she entered a cab before I went back into Drake's room.

I got into Drake's room and sat beside his bed. He was breathing peacefully and I took his hands in mine.

I felt tears strolling down my cheeks as I prayed silently for him.

I bent my head down to his bed and then he opened his hands.

"Amanda!! ", He said as he looked around him.

"My God Drake!!", I said as I used my hands to cover my mouth.

"Are you okay?", He said as he tried to sit straight.

"Wait!!! Drake you need to relax, I'm doing fine", I said as I cleaned my tears.

"You got shot in your arms", I told him.

"That bastard!", He muttered.

"You are crying Amanda", Drake said as he looked at me with concerns.

"I just want to say thank you for saving my life", I said as I stood up from my seat and hugged him.

I didn't rest much on him cause of his state.

"Thank you so much Drake", I muttered.

I heard someone cough behind me and I turned to see who it was. It was the doctor.

"I was about to call you", I said.

"It seems our strong man just woke up", he said as he chuckled.

He went over to Drake and examined him.

Drake stared at me as the doctor was examining him and I smiled at him.

"He is doing great, I guess he should be able to leave tomorrow", he said.

"We will just clean the wounds and he is good to go ", he explained.

"That's good!!", I exclaimed.

The doctor left and I went over to Drake.

I sat beside him and he was still looking at me.

"What! Why you looking at me that way?", I asked him.

"Did you get any sleep?", He asked.

I looked away from him and played with my fingers.

Ever since he got admitted I wasn't able to sleep. I couldn't stand the chance he got hurt to save me.

"Amanda look at me", he said now in a sitting position.

I turned my face to look at him and smiled.

"No! I can't sleep when you just lay here helplessly. I was really scared I could lose you", I said now crying again.

I felt his hands on mine and I looked at him.

"I'm okay now", he said.

"Now let's sleep", he said.

I looked around me looking for somewhere comfortable.

"You can sleep here with me", he offered.

"No", I said.

"Yes you will", he said a little annoyed.

"Noo! This bed can't barely be able to contain both of us", I said trying to change his mind.

"It will Amanda just come and sleep with me I need it. Please!!!", He pleaded as he pouted like a little kid.

"Ok fine!!", I said as I rolled my eyes at him.

He chuckled as he shifted for me and I got on the bed.

He slided his right arms on my waist and pulled me closer to him making me to gasp a little.

He kissed my neck making to shiver, I turned around to face him.

"You said I should sleep", I said raising my brows at him.

"Yes I did",he said looking at me amused.

"Then stop kissing me so I can sleep", I said and turned my back to him.

He chuckled and kissed my neck.

"Sweet dreams Amanda", he said.

"Sleep tight", I replied closing my eyes until I was engulfed in my own world.
