CHAPTER 36
REBECCA'S POV
*Day 10*
Four days, I have just four days left, and I was still not ready to leave... The funniest part was that I knew why.
I still wasn't ready to accept the why, it just didn't feel like the best time to harbor these feelings for Emeliano, it was too fast, just too soon... It wasn't supposed to be happening this way, you can't just like a person in ten days- that's just weird... Is it?
It is, right?
Maybe I was beginning to get heart issues or maybe it was because of the fear that came with losing someone- but this was not just someone, this was Emeliano, the crazy guy who had gone to every length to make me loathe him.
But it didn't happen, it was like, the more he tried to push me away, the more I keep coming back to him, and it was wrong- I know I shouldn't pursue this new feeling, whatever it was...
But I can't help it... I can't help the way I felt when I thought something had actually happened to Emeliano, how worried and scared I was, how much tears I shed for the guy who kidnapped me without concrete reasons at first...
The more I got to know him, the more I understood him and the more I wanted him to see me the way I see him.
How do I see him?
Was it the same way I used to look at Mason?
Definitely not.
This was a whole new thing- a whole new feeling that came with a whole new package and as much as I tried to shrug it off, I couldn't bring myself to do that...
I wanted to follow my heart for now- see where it takes me... Where it takes us.
Although, it would be a little bit difficult, but I'm sure I'd be able to handle everything, I'll be able to bring Emeliano out of the shell he made for himself, I'll bring him back to his normal self...
This time, I'll not try to change him because there was actually nothing that needed changing, all I just have to do is bring him back...
It should be easy.
It is true what they say, you don't actually realize the worth of something until you lose it or almost did. This situation only brought out the stupid feeling I've be trying to shrug off... I tried my best to hate Emeliano, I tried my best to frustrate him into letting me go, but it didn't work- and now, all I wanted to do was stay with him... But is that what he wants?
Does he want me to stay? If he actually does want me to stay, why the hell did he tell me to go the other day?
So confusing.
It took me a day to realize that I wasn't really staying because of some Stockholm syndrome feeling, I was staying because of Emeliano... Why? Because I like him... How it happened so suddenly? I have no freaking idea, but I really wanted to keep this feeling... I'll never let it go for anything in the world.
So, this is where plan E comes in.
What plan E entails? I have no idea, but I'm guessing plan E would be about following whatever my heart tells me to do-
"You know he's gonna be fine, right?"
Beep beep beep.
The sound of the monitor filled my senses as my mind pulled me back into reality.
I looked over at Piper who was sitting at the far end of the hospital room, smiling at me. "The doctor said that he'll be discharged soon."
I returned the smile. "I know."
"You also know you can leave his hand now, right?" She gave me a smug smile.
"It's actually not my choice, his grip tightens anytime I try to let go."
Piper grinned. "He likes you."
My eyes snapped to her direction. "What? How would you know that?"
"I just know... I've seen Emeliano look at all other women before, even her... But the way he looks at you- it's different, I can see it in his eyes that he really truly likes you."
"Why can't I see it?"
"You're still blinded, but don't worry, you'll see it soon." Piper smiled. "You should go back to rest, I'll stay here with him."
"No... I made a promise to stay with him, I'll leave when he wakes... If he wants me to leave." I said, looking over at his peaceful looking face.
Piper stood up. "I'll go check on Diego's talk with the doc... I'll be back with coffee."
"Sure, thanks Piper, if it wasn't for you I don't think he would have made it."
"It's alright, Emeliano's a friend, now- so are you... I'll be back." She left with a smile.
I looked back at Emeliano, enjoying the warmth our hands supplied to each other, I tried to pull away but his grip tightened, I allowed the smile attack my face.
Was Piper right? Does Emeliano really like me?
A slight groaning sound made me seat up, watching Emeliano regain consciousness.
"Emeliano? Hi..." I said with a wide smile on my face as his eyes fluttered open.
When his eyes locked with mine, he looked shocked, and immediately, untangled his hands from mine.
His withdrawal sent waves of unwanted emotions through my body, making my hand grow cold at the absence of his warm ones
"Where am I?"
"The hospital-"
His eyes widened. "Why the hell did you bring me here?"
I sighed. "You were hurt and I- what are you trying to do?" I said stoping him from sitting up, I moved my hand to place his shoulder back down but he stopped me before my hand could connect with his body.
"Don't, touch me." He seethed out, making me take my hands back to my side.
Seriously?
