Chapter 47: A New Age.

Marcell’s POV.

“I’m supposed to tell you no and go get rest. That this can wait till the morning.” Diego explains as he closes the door.

“But you’re not.” I smiled at my cousin.

“No. Even though I should. I’ve been waiting for two weeks to hear your voice.” Diego says as he pulls a small chair next to my bed.

“What you’re not going to crawl in bed next to me?” I winked at Diego.

“Shit no. Although it’s been tempting. Not going to even going to lie about that. These chairs are hell on the neck.”

“You’ve been sleeping in the chair?” I ask him.

“Yeah.” Diego nods his head. “Much against the protests of your girlfriend. She can be persistent.”

“Fiancé” I corrected Diego.

“Oh really?” He laughed rubbing his hand across his face. “Congratulations I guess are in order. She wanted to trade off nights. Let me sleep on that poor excuse for a cot. But I couldn’t do that. Shit Diego. She looked like she had been dragged through hell.”
