Chapter 34

Alena

I was awakened by the soft kiss on my forehead, making me open my eyes to find the same beautiful pair of brown eyes. My eyes wandered around to find the room slightly dark from the blinds being closed and the lights turned off. "Hey, baby." Matteo muttered, touching my face. "Mm, you're back."

"Yeah,

I just took a shower. I missed you,"

"When did you arrive?"

"About thirty minutes ago. Your Mama and Ana just left,"

"Oh, they didn't say goodbye."

He shook his head, "They didn't want to wake you up. You were sound asleep."

I smiled, stretching as I sat up. "What time is it?"

He was making his way to the desk, shutting off his laptop before glancing at his wristwatch. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep; it had been happening for a while now ever since I got shot. My body was probably tired and adjusting to changes. "It's almost seven,"

"Can you come over here and give me a proper hug, please?"

He smiled widely before making his way towards me, standing in front of me as I sat on the bed. My arms were wrapped around his waist as he played with the ends of my hair. He was busy caressing my head, soothing and calming me down-it was slowly making me feel at peace.

It felt nice to be surrounded by his warmth.

"Did you miss me that much, Alena?"

"Mm, I missed you so much. You have no idea."

"Okay, good. Because I missed you so much more,"

I looked up into his eyes as he looked down on me, our eyes staring into one another. It felt as if I could stare straight into his soul but that was insane of me. He smelt good because he had just gotten out of the shower, wearing a pair of clean clothes, too.

probably looking awful and smelling weird.

"Can you help me with something?" I asked.

"Anything. What is it?"

"I want to take a shower, but I'm scared if it might hurt,"

"Okay, I'll help you out."

Slowly, he helped me out of bed until I could feel my feet on the ground. He held onto my hand as we walked to the bathroom, letting me stand on my own once I managed to stable myself. 10:08 Sun, Oct 20 Chapter 34 @89% @89%

"Wait, I'll go get your toiletries." He walked out for a few seconds to come back with my toiletries which consisted of my cleanser, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and body wash. He closed the door behind him before helping me undress out of the hospital gown. As I stared at myself in the mirror, I was beginning to see color returning to my face-I wasn't as pale as I was yesterday, and it felt nice to look better. Even though I didn't feel as beautiful as when I was well and healthy.

My husband turned on the shower, testing the water temperature before slowly helping me to get inside. He was careful not to let the water touch my bandage as he started to shampoo my hair and wash my body. I started to feel insecure by standing in front of him and letting him run his hands all over me even though we had seen each other naked before but this was different. amerent.

He could see my every flaw, yet he didn't seem to mind.

Besides, I was left with a new scar soon once my wound healed.

Last but not least, he helped me to cleanse my face, but he was even more careful not to let the soap get into my eyes. I was smiling and chuckling the whole time because he looked too focused.

Once we were done, he wrapped me around in a clean towel.

He kissed the back of my shoulder, "There. Do you feel better?"

It took us about twenty to thirty minutes to finish but I was left feeling better about myself. I didn't experience any pain and Matteo did help me a lot, trying to make the whole process easier. If I was on my own, I could've taken longer. "Thank you." I turned around, looking at him. "You're welcome."

He continued to look down at me, a smile plastered on his face.

I stood on my tiptoes, trying to kiss his lips. Once he saw my struggle, he leaned in to meet my lips. We were kissing each other softly and it made me wanted more. I knew I had missed his touch all over my body, but I needed to be patient. Even though my body was begging for him, I needed to wait.

"Come on, let's get you dressed up back in your beautiful gown and head to bed."

at the word 'beautiful gown' because I knew he was trying to cheer me up even though I hated the gown.

I laughed at I was sitting on the bed, letting him help me dry my hair after I was dressed. I didn't have to do anything on my own ever since I was admitted. Matteo did a good job in showing me he was the perfect husband. He could do a lot of things without complaining, too. "Your must be hungry," he broke the silence.

"A little bit. Did you eat yet?"

"I'll eat with you."

We were sitting on the bed as he started to feed me. I was eating white rice with grilled chicken, and it tasted great, letting me enjoy the meal as I watched the television. It was becoming a boring routine for me at the hospital.
