"Tati, Tati can you move," Jack said to her softly. He was still holding her tightly in his arms as they drove off to her place.
"A bit" she managed to say another tear escaping her eyes.
"Okay," we are almost home, "he said.
When they arrived he carried her inside, he managed to find her room and gently placed her down.
"Hi, we are home, "he said to the still-crying Tatiana. His hands smoothly caressed her cheek as he pushed her hair away from her face.
"Please stop crying, your safe now and here "he whispered in her ear holding her close in his arms.
Slowly her hands moved and grabbed tightly on his shirt, her trembling body now gaining comfort from his.
"I...I kept calling you but my voice was gone "she cried.
"Am sorry love... his hold tighten too, "am sorry Tati"
"My body..." she tried to say.
"You will be fine soon, just lay down for while," he said
"Please...don't let me go" she cried
"Okay, I won't calm down now," he said.
...
She opened her eyes the next morning laying in Jack's arms. He was still sound asleep. Looking up at him she felt warmth filling her up, he has stayed with her the whole night. Memories of last night came flooding back, her head hurt instantly as tears formed in her eyes.
Jack felt her move waking him up, he looked up to see her holding her head.
"Tati, what's wrong" he held her. She turned to him crying, "what did she do to me" she cried.
"Don't worry, Tati, she's going to pay?" he said calming her down.
"They were going to..." she closed her eyes as the memory appeared in her mind.
"Don't think about it anymore, Tatiana. Nothing happened we made sure of it" he said.
"We, who else was with you?" she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
He smiled wiping them, "the whole gang came with me, Eric and I taught those bastards lessons"....he chuckled remembering what Patricia and Alex had done to the two women. "You should have seen Patrica pull every hair of Rina from her skull.....and Alex handled his cousin very well"
"Really, even Alex caught for me?"
"Yes she did, we all love you Tati and we will do anything for you and that includes fighting those who hurt you" he kissed her red cheeks and smiled.
She smiled, "I wish I saw that fight between them. I don't think Rina stayed with any hair on her head"
"I think she deserved it," he said.
She turned to him, "Jack, thank you"
His blue eyes lovingly stared at us, "Welcome, Tati"
"Can I ask for something"
He nodded.
"Can I hug you?"
He smiled and opened his arms wide, "As long as you want".
She fell in his arms without reticence and he hugged her. It was a warm long gently hug, one that made someone feel the love from the other and that was what she needed
