Chapter 115
Jennifer
When my father left Romeo looked at me with big eyes. “What’s wrong?” I asked him “I never thought I’ll see the day that you actually kick your dad out.” “Well to be fair I’m on very strong meds.” I smiled at him. “Clearly.” “No seriously Romeo he can’t walk in here insult you and me not after what he did at the fundraiser, I haven’t forgiven him for that not yet and I will speak to him when I’m ready not when he decides he can interfere with you and me or for that matter my health.” “No, I’m all for it darling you just shocked me that’s all.” “You are teaching me to stand up for myself Romeo I have you to thank for this.” “I’m happy about that.” At 5 pm the hospital food was delivered when Romeo saw it, he immediately send Lucas to go and get us some decent food. Romeo’s words not mine. Lucas came back with lamb chops, mint sauce and vegetables. I was actually hungry and ate everything on my plate. That was delicious.” “Definitely better than the crap they brought you.” “You are a real snob Mr. Bianchi.” “I totally am soon to be Mrs. Bianchi.” We both laughed, Romeo was busy working on his I-pad while I watched some TV, I could feel myself getting tired and before I knew it, I was out.

Jennifer was watching some TV after we had our meal Lucas got us. I on the other hand had e-mails I had to answer and I had to call JP and thank him for the report he made he even send me the case number so everything was legit. And clearly that was the information Brad received as well or else I wouldn’t be here anymore. He wouldn’t have killed me but he would have made a scene to get me away from Jennifer and I wasn’t going to allow it. I looked at Jennifer’s sleeping form and it hit me I loved her, I loved her a lot, but for some reason I still couldn’t say the words. I mean what is it going to take for me to tell her I love her she almost died for fuck sakes. But that is something I could think about later, know I need to send an e-mail to Brad and ask him for the guest he wanted to invite to the wedding. The e-mail wasn’t even sent before I received a response from him;
“Romeo, don’t you think it will be better to postpone the wedding?” That was all he said so I typed back
“No, it’s the 1st of December not me or Jennifer want to postpone the wedding.”
I waited for a response probable 10 minutes later a list came through with there addresses and phone numbers. Clearly, he saw we will not budge on this.
When the night staff was done with checking Jennifer’s vitals and gave her her medication things got quitter and I could fall asleep. Again, it wasn’t a restful sleep with the nurses being in and out of the room the whole night but at least I was with Jenn and no one kicked me or Lucas out. Which was a big thing, I’m sure the doctor told them to leave us to it. The next morning, I woke up with Jennifer that was trying to get out of bed. “Darling what are you doing?” “Sorry Romeo I didn’t want to wake you.” “No problem but you didn’t answer me what are you doing?” “I wanted to get up and take a shower before the doctor came. I wanted to be ready to go home when he tells us we can go.” “You can shower at home Jenn.” “No, I want to feel and look better when he gets here.” “Okay wait I’ll help you.” I walked over to her and helped her of the bed she was still hooked to a drip. I called one of the nurses which disconnected the drip which will make it easier for Jenn to shower. When the nurse was done, I took her to the bathroom. “You don’t have to be in here with me.” She told me. “Fine but I’m waiting right outside the door.” “Thank you, Romeo.” Don’t get me wrong I wanted to help her I mean she had a broken arm and a concussion she can fall any time but I needed to give her her privacy I’m sure she didn’t see all the cuts and bruises all over her body yet. I heard her sigh a few times but I didn’t say anything after a while she called me “Romeo”

When I woke up the next morning, I wanted to take a shower I felt dirty and just wanted to feel a bit better. I didn’t want to wake Romeo but I did. He helped me to the bathroom but I chased him out I needed to see what was going on with my body and I wanted to do it alone. When he was out and I looked in the mirror I almost got a heart attack with all the cuts and bruise it didn’t get any better the further I look the more cut and bruises I saw on my stomach, my back, my legs everywhere there was some sort of injury. I open the water of the shower and just let the water run down my body. Fuck it felt so good but when I eventually where done I realized with my arm that’s broken it’s going to be difficult to dry myself that’s when I called Romeo. I didn’t really want him to see all the cuts and bruises but at this stage I didn’t have any other option.
“Darling” he said as he walked in “I need help.” “Anything” “Can you dry me please.” “Yes, off course.” He slowly dried me but the thing that made me cry was at each cut or bruise he kissed me. That had me crying in seconds. “Hey hey why are you crying?” he asked me.
