Chapter 55: Chapter 55

• • •

The best kind of relationships begin unexpectedly. When you get that astonished feeling and everything happens so suddenly. That's why you don't look for love. It comes to you at the right time; the time you never thought would have.

-

The couples that are 'meant to be' are the ones who go through everything meant to tear to them apart and come out even stronger than they were before.

Megan's POV

I groaned, my neck hurt a bit, and it really hurt to move around. My eyes flutter open then close back with the sudden light. It's like I've not seen bright light for months. I open my eyes again and slowly get used to the bright room. The only sound heard was a beeping sound. I am in a hospital, again. It’s like the hospitals in New York like me. I am in a large private room with a water dispenser, couch and everything in white. There is even a heater.

I turned my neck around and my eyes land on Javier, his head was resting on the bed and he was sleeping peacefully his hand holding mine. I smiled. There is the love of my life. I moved the hair falling on his face away so I can clearly see his beautiful face. His lips were parted slightly, his eyes closed, his breathing peaceful and even. He had a 5 O'clock stubble. He is really handsome. My fingers graze his skin in admiration and his slowly opened up to reveal his eyes.

He sat up and looked at me, then he smiled and opened his arms wide sitting on my bed side. "Megan” I laugh as I enter into his embrace ignoring the little pain on my rib.

I look up and notice he had a plaster on a side of his forehead. I reach up and touch it. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing just a little scratch. How are you doing?”He asked touching my cheek.

I close my eyes enjoying the feeling. "I'm fine I guess, I feel a little pain inside, sore and my neck hurt a bit other than that I'm ok”I say truthfully trying to remember why I'm here in the first place.

Javier nodded, then got up from the bed, sat on his chair and pulled my leg to him raising the comforter that covered them. "Hey!”I say placing my hand on the remaining comforter, "what are you doing?”I was wearing only a hospital gown which is barely hiding my nakedness, "we're in a hospital”I whisper to him.

He smirked, "what exactly is running through your dirty mind?”He asked as he starts massaging my foot.

"Oh” I say realizing that he just wants to massage my foot. I blush looking away.

He laughed, "don't worry babe if you want me so bad we could have a quickie in the bathroom over there but you have to promise to be silent"

I face palm blushing furiously, "get out of here”I say kicking him slightly. He just laughed more. "Oh that feels so good”I moan closing my eyes, Javier was doing magic to my feet.

"Hey! We are not even doing it yet”he complains still massaging.

"Hmm you're better than a masseuse. Ah that tickles”I say smiling all through and forgetting my pain as Javier massaged me.

The door opened and a doctor came in with two nurses. "Ahem...I see you're already up”he says awkwardly looking at Javier and my bare legs. Javier gasp and pulls the comforter to cover my legs, glaring at the doctor. I stifle down a laugh as I lie down comfortably on the bed. "How do you do Megan?"

"I'm fine. My ribs hurt though, what exactly happened?”I ask as the doctor checks my eye. Javier looks away rubbing his neck. I frowned, "what's wrong?"

"Well, you had a broken bone, It’s healing up from your one week of rest. That drug that drugged you is really strong. You're lucky to be alive”the doctor said, then went to write on his notepad, "kidnappers are seriously evil"

Shut up. Marriage lawyer. Sign it. Anna shoot her. Mom?. Wrong cub. I'll shoot you.

"Oh my god, oh my god. Faye..”I start saying frantically as the memories flood it. The fear, the gun shoots, my mom. Blood. "My mom!"

"Megan calm down, calm down.”Javier said holding my tightly. I grip unto him. Studying his body.

"You're ok. Oh thank God you're ok”I cried hugging him. "Faye, she killed my mom didn't she?"

"No, no no Megan. She survived. Your mom survived”Javier said moving hair out of my face.

"She did?”I looked at the doctor, "she did?".

He nodded, “She was shot but she survived. She hasn't woken up yet but hopefully she will "

I nodded, pulled my hair away as the tears pooled down. I looked at Javier and gave a weak smile. I can't believe we made it. We survived from that maniac. "And Faye? Did she survive it?"

~*~

"What's wrong with her?”I ask tightening Pretty boy's hands around me.

"I don't know. I can't even start to explain everything the doctor said was wrong with her”Javier said his head resting on my shoulder.

I looked at Faye again. We were separated by a thick glass. She sat inside the little white room at a corner. Her knees were drawn to her and she kept shaking like a reclining chair, muttering words to herself. Her hair was a mess, her skin pale and her eyes red from crying, she was still crying even her hands were bandaged up. She looked miserable. Police officers were even watching over her.

I freed myself from Javier embrace and crouched down near the glass. "You almost killed me Faye”I said to her, I'm not sure if she could hear me but I continued. "I was once like you, a bit"

"A lot, you know without the crazy”Javier said interrupting me, I glare at him.

"Yea so, once I was obsessed about a guy, I hated girls being near him. I was ready to ruin his life so I'll come in, comfort him and win his heart. It didn't work, it couldn't have. Being with Javier, seeing Sam happy, seeing you, I realize that...that the things we chase with all our heart and soul aren't the things that are ours, we would never get those things we want because we truly don't need them. The moment you lay back, free your mind, open you arms to new possibilities, that's... That's when we see the things that are ours, that we need, that are perfect for us. That are better than whatever it was we were chasing before”I say tears falling out of my eyes.

"I realized this early. It's not too late for you. It’s not your fault you became obsessed over this hunk of a man”I say smiling at Javier who was laughing and posing like a model. "If you give yourself the chance, you might one day find happiness. Also...”I say going close to the glass to whisper, "don't tell Javier I told you this but... Men aren't everything, sometimes we have to put ourselves first. We are beautiful, brilliant and exceptionally extraordinary, any man that can't see that doesn't deserve a single minute of our thought”I say smiling, "but the real one, like Javier to me, he is worth everything"

"So for trying to kill me and telling my mum to kill me, I forgive you”I say, she turn to look at me and I nod, "yes I forgive you"

"Aww baby you're too kind”Javier says crouching close to me and cooing, then turns to Faye with a glare. "She doesn't deserve it"

"Get out of here” I say pushing him away abde laughing, "he forgives you too"

"No I don't"

~*~

I came back to my room with Javier. It’s actually like our room now.

"Time for my baby to rest” Javier says lifting me up, I squeal as he places me on the hospital bed, and tucks us in.

"Thanks my macho man”I say tapping his chest and smiling at him.

"Anytime babe, Anytime”then he leans in to kiss me and I accept him wholeheartedly.

This week has been crazy. U found out that mum and Faye shot at each other. Faye shot Anna in the tummy but Javier saved Faye from getting shot at the heart. He pushed her out of the way and both of them fell to the ground. Faye passed out and Javier injured his head but came to me. I was role busy screaming to notice anything, my mum was filled with blood and everything plus the exhaustion made me faint in his arms. The marriage lawyer called the ambulance and police.

My mum is working for Vince who owns one of the biggest drug and gang cartel in Queens. My mum confessed and Vince and his brother and other cartel members were arrested including my mum were arrested. After this hospital she's going straight to prison, probably facing 20 more or less years in prison.

"Are you ok?”Javier ask looking at me.

I nod, "I'm not perfectly ok but I'm gonna be.”My mom and I don't hate each other anymore, I mean we are not perfect yet but we're starting from somewhere. I'm just sad that's she's going to jail.

"I'm here for you ok? I'm always gonna be here”he says pulling me into him. I hug him closer enjoying his scent.

"I love you”I say.

"I love you too”he replies kissing my hair as I feel sleep wash over me.

~*~

I hear a horn outside, making me jump off the bean bag. "Is that simba?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard that motorcycle horn in two years”Darlene says coming into the living room with a bag of pretzels.

"Dylan, did you hear that horn? Do you think It’s simba? Is it horning in front of the house?”I ask.

"I don't know babe”Dylan says jumping on top of the cushion beside Darlene and biting off a pretzel and winking at me. He and Darlene chuckle.

"Babe?”I ask smiling as I start rushing out. If It’s not Javier I'm going to kill them. I rush out and open the door. I see Simba outside just in front if the house with Pretty boy on top. "Simba?”I rush down.

"Ouch. Is it all you see?”Javier complains.

"Where did you find him? How did you bring it here”I ask trying to humor him. I'm actually resisting the urge to run into his arms. He looks absolutely gorgeous dressed in black, sitting there on my black motorcycle.

He pouts crossing his arms and looking away from me. I laugh going to him. "Aww is my Darling jealous of a motorcycle? Come on I was going to appreciate you too, the best comes last. Whose the most handsome man in the world. You are, yes you are”I coo at him.

"You're seriously not cooing at me at me right now”he says face palming himself.

"And you're seriously not blushing”I say laughing.

"Come here”he pulls me on top the motorcycle and kisses me. I jump down.

"Javier, the kids”I scold checking the window for the twins.

"I missed you”he says.

"I miss you too”we haven't seen each other like forever___ever since last night.

"Hop on, I'm taking you out”he says.

"On simba?”I ask surprised, "can you even ride this thing?"

He gasped, "ofcourse, that's an insult. I'm offended"

Opps I forgot he had motorcycles in his garage at Mexico. "Sorry, didn't mean to"

"I've kept simba ever since you left him and ran to London”Pretty boy said, "now hop on"

"Let me go change”I say retreating inside.

"No, you're perfect like that. Beautiful”Javier says starting the bike.

"Like this?”I ask staring at my blue faded jean shorts with large white tshirt that had Disney Mickey drawn on it. With white vans, my hair was in a bun and I had no makeup on.

"Yes perfect”he yelled. I shrugged then tied up my shirt to make a belly T-shirt, then I loosened my bun, letting my hair fall down. Then I run and jump on top simba. "Hold on tight"

"Gladly”I say wrapping my hands tightly around him and practically snuggling in. He laughs as simba roared and drove out. My hair was flying behind me and we were driving really fast. Soon I found myself screaming in excitement, raising my hands up.

"World look at me, I'm happy!”I yell into the wind laughing my ass off. Javier joined me too.

We stopped at a park and got down, I noticed the whole place was empty. Like really empty. My face falls. "It’s empty. They are probably closed"

"Nope, I reserved the park for us”Javier said leading me in.

"You reserved the whole park?”I ask amazed.

"Yep, I have a surprise for you. Wait, come in 20 seconds after I go in ok”Javier says.

"Why?”He didn't answer me and ran in. "Javier?”I whine, before I start counting to twenty. When I'm done, I go in impatiently. I see no sign of him. "Javier?”I call going further in.

I

suddenly stop, in front of me was a note with a rose on top. I picked up the rose and read the note.

Ti amo (I love you)

My heart swells and I'm overwhelm with emotion, on the tree is an arrow sign pointing forward. I move following arrow sign. Another rose, another note.

Je t'aime ( I love you)

A tear leaks down my eyes and I wipe it smiling, and following the next arrow.

Te lubesc (I love you)

Eu te amo ( I love you)

Volim te (I love you)

Ich ilebe dich (I love you)

Te quiero (I love you)

Ic hou van je (I love you)

Saranghae (I love you)

By the time I'm out the last one, am bawling my eyes out. I had ten roses in my hands and ten 'I love you' notes in different languages.

I love you Megan.

I finally come out to the open and I see him standing there smiling, I run into his arms hugging him. Words can't express how I feel right now.

"Hey Megan don't cry”he says wiping my tears.

"I'm just so happy”I say cleaning the tears away.

"I know. I made picnic. Hope you're in the mood for chicken”he says poking my tummy playfully. I laughed and set down on the picnic ground. There's a lot of food. Plenty chicken stuff, wine and strawberry covered in chocolate.

Javier and and I seat talking and eating to our content. We played hide and seek, I always failed. Then we rode bicycles. Javier's a little rusty in riding bicycles so I have the time of my life laughing at him fall off the bicycle.

"Want some?”I say offering Javier a spoon of ice cream. We were laying on the blanket eating ice cream, well just me, sitting with my legs crossed avatar style. Javier was just laying staring at me. He shook his head saying no. "Aaah”I say trying to feed Pretty boy, aeroplane style. He opened his mouth and ate the ice cream, I smiled triumphantly. But he still didn't stop staring at me.

"Ok, what is it spill it”I say dropping my ice cream.

"Nothing, I just enjoy staring at you”he says.

"Lies, your eyes are twinkling and smiling at me, you want to say something just let it out”I say.

"Really?”He ask. I nod looking at him expectantly. "Ok so, I wanted to ask you something, I want it to be special but I don't know how. I would have put it in the chocolate but many people do it, it won't look special. I would have gone on my knees but I feel like that's so ancient, then I wanted to...”I lean down and kiss his lips lightly. He is just so cute when he rambles on. "Ok, ok so tada”he shows me his finger and I see a shining ring sitting on top his middle finger, it was too small to fit his hand and it looked feminine.

I gasped my hand going to my mouth. My heart racing and my tummy erupt in butterflies. I can't see anything except the diamond ring.

"So...when I came into your neighborhood at first, I thought of it as some dead zone for ugly stinking people, but all that changed when I met you. You were like a lily in the mud, shining despite everything, a diamond waiting to be discovered. You crashed into my life literally”he chuckled and I was just there trying to keep the tears in.

"You changed me Megan, I got to know a pure innocent person like you, I fell in love with you like never before, I can be stubborn, arrogant, block head but for you I'll be your Prince charming. We'll bicker that's for sure, but I'll try to keep it cute”I laughed tears rolling down.

"Where you are is where I'll always be, because you're the North to my south and the east to my West, you're my everything. They say nothing is constant, well they are wrong. My love for you is constant. So...Megan Hart, my Nicki Minaj, will you marry this pretty boy, this tall” he say raising his hands above him, "and with an ego the size of an Italian restaurant?"

I laugh nodding my head uncontrollably, the tears won't stop coming. "Yes, yes I'll marry you pretty boy, I'll marry because... Because in all my years, I've felt love, I've felt pain, hell I've even experienced true love but...but I've never loved another way I love you"

He smiled biting his lip as he takes my hand and slips the ring into my finger. It fit perfectly, I look at the diamond shining on my finger and I can't help it but squeal like a teen. Javier laughs at my childishness and I tackle him in a hug.

~*~

"How many kids would we have?"

"Eight"

"Eight?”I ask surprised.

"Yep, seven girls and maybe one boy”he says grinning.

"What if it's seven boys one girl?”I ask resting my head on his chest and tracing his abs.

"Meh, we can't throw them away so we'll just train them all”he said. I nod.

We stay in comfortable silence, smiling at each other. I suddenly laugh.

"What?”Pretty boy ask me smiling.

"Nothing”I say still laughing.

"Then why are you laughing?”He ask laughing.

"Why are you laughing too?”I ask him.

"I'm laughing because you're laughing now, what's up?"

"Nothing, it just... Everything, everything that have happened from our meeting, to our business proposal, to me getting a job, falling in love, going to London, Faye, my mum, everything was just so Unexpected"

He nods, "yea, but meant to be."

The End. Fin.
