Chapter 63: Chapter 63
“Maia… Hey… Wake up…”
I open my eyes and not realizing that I cried in front of Lena’s room and fall asleep, I see Dmitri in front of me as he tries to wake me up. “Oh, God!” I hug Dmitri and cry. “She’s dead… Lena’s dead… I can’t believe she leave me like this” I keep crying and sobs as I hug Dmitri. He stroked my back “No, she’s not… Lena is fine” Dmitri says. I remove myself from Dmitri and stares at him “Please, don’t lie to me…” I say with a slight of grief in my voice as I wipe my tears.
Dmitri laughs softly “How could she’s dead? She’s been shot 3 times with a real gun and still alive. It’s only thug street duel, not WWE SmackDown” He scoffs. I exhale in relief as I heard Dmitri’s words, I can’t describe how relieved I was right now. I smile and get up from the floor and take my bag with me, I point my hand to Dmitri to help him up from the floor. “I’m good” Dmitri up by himself. “You can see her now… she waiting for you” Dmitri says. “Thanks” I say.
LENA’S POINT OF VIEW
I wake up slowly with an oxygen mask strapped to my face, my head is pounding and it feels like I’m on drugs. A nurse is in my room and I try to sit up, a strangled cry coming out as I feel a sharp pain when I try to move. The nurse rushes over to my side and lays me back down gently “Woah… You have a broken rib sweetheart, we had to do emergency surgery so you can’t move for a while” The nurse says softly, checking my vitals.
“M… Maia?” I look around, panicking as I don’t know where the dark brown-haired girl is. “Who?” The nurse asks, looking at me and taking off my oxygen mask, placing it to the side. “My wife… I mean my girlfriend” I say “Where’s Maia?” I strangle out, my throat feeling dry as my eyes fill up with tears. The nurse hands me a cup of water with a straw in it and checks a clipboard “Maia LaLuna?” She asks, I nod my head frantically.
“She’s in the waiting room sweetheart, I’ll go get her” The nurse says and she walks out of the room, closing the door behind me. As I lay back, my mind starts racing “What the hell happened? Everything is so fucking foggy…” I say deep inside. The last thing I remember is being launched against the floor. As I’m lost deep in my thoughts, the nurse opens the door, and Maia following close behind her.
An immediate smile cracks on my face as Maia runs up to the side of my bed “Lena! Baby, you’re okay… Thank God, you’re okay!” Maia starts crying, holding my hand and kissing me gently. I cup her cheek and kiss her lips multiple times “Maia…baby…” I whisper sweetly with a smile on my face. The nurse leaves the room to give us a minute… I frown softly and cup Maia’s face, kissing her black eye gently.
“Are you okay? Is that hurt?” I whisper worriedly, my thumb caressing her cheek. Maia smiles softly and pulls up a chair, sitting next to my bed. “Baby I should be asking you that, it’s just a black eye, not a broken rib” Maia laughs. I frown “Does it hurt babe?” I ask and she kisses me softly. “I’m fine babe, seeing you open your eyes is enough for me. How are you feeling?” Maia hums softly, holding my hand.
I shrug “The painkillers make everything numb but it still hurts like hell to move and I got dizzy” I say, laying my head back. “You went into cardiac arrest, I thought I was gonna lose you! You freaked me out…” Maia whispers, her voice cracking. I shake my head as the best I can since I have stitches and a bandage on the back of my head “I am never leaving you Maia, you’re never losing me” I say, my hands coming up and cupping her rosy face.
Maia’s eyes puffy from crying, I try to sit up and kiss her again but I wince, flipping back down and holding my side “Ugh… this fucking sucks” I groan as I point my gaze to Maia. She places her hand on my side and rubs it softly, kissing my forehead “I know babe… I called Dmitri and he’s already here” Maia says as she stroking my hair gently. I smile, focusing on her voice as a pounding in my head starts “Uh… my head is pounding” I mumble softly.
Maia wraps me up in her arms gently and I lay my head in her chest, she rubs my cheek softly and runs her hand through my hair “Dmitri called the restaurant to see if there're any alleyway cameras and they said they do have cameras and they’ll review the footage later” Maia hums, kissing my nose and cheek. I laugh bitterly but wince as it hurts to even laugh “They’re never gonna get her” I say, holding Maia’s hand.
“Trust me... when we both were dating and things got complicated between us, she pulled some crazy shit on girls who were close to me even though if I have no serious relationship with them… and she never got caught. We just have to stay away from her as soon as possible” I say, cupping Maia’s cheek. Maia smiles softly and nods her head, smoothing out my hospital gown “We were really worried about you…” Maia says, looking up at me somberly.
“Who?” I say, raises my eyebrow and looking at her. Maia smile as she heavily inhales “Rosa…” She says. “You told her? Jeez… how could you” I say as I heavily sigh. Maia laughs softly “I told her but not the actual fucking story…” She says. “Fiuh… I thought you told her about my ex mafia dealer girlfriend and my actual job” I chuckle. “No baby, I won’t!” Maia chuckle as she runs her face close to me, kissing me deeply and smile.
I love her smile, her laugh, the way she talks, the way she holds me, everything… I love her, I love Maia. “I love you Maia…” I say out of the blue, making her smile… a beautiful smile. “I love you too Lena” She whispers. “I’m sorry if I made your life hurts with me” I say, cupping Maia’s cheek as I stare at her beautiful eyes. “No… living with you it’s the best thing I’ve ever had in my life and I’m happy” Maia says with tears in her eyes.
I stare at her deeply and smile “I fall in love with a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from work to home” I say, stroking her cheek gently. “You know… when your beautiful heart stop beating or you couldn’t open your eyes anymore. My heart broke in two pieces, knowing that here on earth there will never be another like you and I’m so scared…” Maia says, she kisses the palm of my hand gently as she held her tears.
“Alright… it’s time for you to rest, I’ll tell Dmitri that you’re okay and I’ll ask him to pick up your bike at the restaurant” Maia says, covering me with the hospital blanket “And I’ll ask the nurse how long you’ll be here and when you’ll out from this place” Maia says. A sweet smile comes through my face as I point my gaze to Maia. “Lena” Maia says. “What?” I say. “Stop staring at my boobs, you’re still sick!” She says. “I’m not staring at your boobs” I say.
“I’m staring at your heart” I laugh softly. “Jeez, Lena” She chuckles as she getting up from the chair. “I’m certainly not clingy” I say, looking at standing Maia next to me. “Okay then, see you later!” Maia says. I stare at her with a ponty lip “If I don’t get a kiss from you before you leave this room, I’m going to die!” I say. Maia chuckle softly “Fine” She kisses my lips. “I could die happy now” I say. “Ugh, Shut up Lena” Maia kisses me once more, before she leaves the room.
