Chapter 43

JOHN'S POV

Something jolted me awake.

There it was again.

Her hand that I was holding twitched.

She opened her eyes slowly and closed them again from the bright lights.

When she opened them again,she looked around before her hazel eyes landed on me.

Her eyes filled with tears and I jumped up, hugging her.

"It's okay. You are safe now". I whispered in her ears.

She held me tight as if she would never let me go. And I was more than happy with that.

When she did pull away,I held her face and kissed her. Her lips moved in sync with mine and it felt like the first time all over again.

"I'll go get the doctor". I pecked her on the lips before leaving. While getting the doctor,I called everyone to let them know that she was already awake.

Ashley and Dave will be here in the next two hours and Jason was coming with Ella straightaway.

When she arrived,she ran to her sister with tears in her eyes. She held her while she calmed down.

"I thought I lost you!" she cried.

I know,but it looks like you are stuck with me, kiddo!" she smiled down at her.

She sat with her for a little while,so that I could go sort out the medical bills.

She would have probably smacked me if she found out that I already settled the bills claiming that ' I'm an independent woman,I can take care of it' she had done it before and that shit hurts.

Chuckling at my thoughts,I ran back to the room. Ashley and Dave were with her laughing about something.

As soon as I walked in, they hushed.

Suspicious........

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked.

None of them answered but had guilty faces,I knew exactly who would give me answers.

Raising my brows I asked "Dave?"

He looked so conflicted but he would still burst out," we were talking about our sexcapades"

I wasn't expecting that!

Walking over my girl,I sat close to her.

"Did you tell them the one we had in the plane's bathroom?" I winked at her.

"What?! You didn't tell us about that one! Spill Jasmine". Ashely started.

"Sorry guys, but I need her all to myself right now. She will tell you another time." I smirked at them.

"Fine. Take care of our baby girl Mr Hotshot". Scary Ashley was back!

"Will do ma'am."

They left the room.

We cuddled up on the bed for a little while.

"That was the scariest few days of my life. I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to find you". I whispered in her ears.

"But you did" she smiled at me.

"By the way,how did you get the first gun?"

"He bent down to grab my hair so I headbutted him. He dropped it".

My jaw dropped open.

"My girlfriend is a badass!"

I ran my fingers on her back as we laid on my chest.it was too comfy.

We lay like that for a while,our breathing in sync just relishing each other presence.

I knew it was time to do this.

I couldn't leave it to chance anymore.

"Jasmine?"

"Yeah"?

I shifted from beneath her and stood up so that she could see me.

"I have planned on doing this in some fancy way but I can't wait any longer. The thought that o could have lost you kills me. I love you so damn much.

I pulled the item out of my pocket.

"Marry me"
