Chapter 24

I woke up to the beeping of a machine at my side, I also felt a hand around mine.

Looking down at it,it was attached to a body which was lying down close to mine.

I recognized that soft, gorgeous hair, seriously he couldn't disappoint women with those looks.

it was John He spoke to me last night thinking I wasn't listening to everything he was saying.

Last night.

Noah picked up my hand and held it.

"You scared the hell out of me tonight, Jasmine. I thought you were gone. Then what? who would Ella have?.... who would I get to tease?" he chuckled.

"I know that Ella needs you but it is More than that, Jasmine..... I need you. I don't know why but I really do,and when I saw you tonight it brought that crashing me down harder than ever. Please wake up," he whispered.

I moved a little to get comfortable and it woke him up.

" Jasmine?" his voice was so down there and catchy. As supposed my dry cocky voice.

"Hey".

"Thanks God,he pulled me to a tight hug. What happened last night, Jasmine".

"I honestly don't know. I lied when I told you I was fine. I'd felt weird all day and when I don't remember much from when I got home.

I really didn't.

I remembered getting into the car and speaking with Mike,the driver on our way back home. Then saying a quick hello to Ella before going to my room. After that I don't remember a thing.

The doctor came in and check me over for discharging.

Ella was still at school when I got back to the house. When we got back,she didn't let me go.

She didn't know what happened to me. John hid my hand under the blanket at the hospital. And she would never find out.

She would never forgive me, losing mom and then losing me through my own cause.

She bought the story that I slipped and hit my head in the bathroom when I was bathing.

I woke up the next day and got ready for work. Going downstairs for breakfast, John was looking at me confused.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Getting ready for work. Why?"

"Absolutely not!"

I was stunned for a moment. He'd never raise his voice at me like that.

"I'm going leave you guys to it". Ella noticed the tension and walked out.

"You aren't going back to the office for now", John said crossing his hands.

"Why not?"

"You just got back from the hospital,you need to take lot of rest and things easy".

"The doctor said that everything is fine so I am going back to work" sue me.

I went to move around him but he held me in place.

" Jasmine, it's too soon".

" I will be fine,I promise. I just can't sit at home doing nothing all day".

He stared into my eyes and it always make my heart racing whenever he does that. My insides fluttered.

"Promise me,you will tell me if you start feeling it again" he finally whispered.

"I promise".

He gave me a nod and then we continue getting ready for work.
