BEING PAMPERED

~~ CARMELA POV ~~

I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the light, my head ached a bit and my throat felt dry.

I had an oxygen mask on and a huge peg on my hand, a drip was connected to my left hand and I could hear the beeping of machines.

I took another look at my surroundings and I wasn't at the hospital instead I was in Zamiel's room. I tried moving but my body felt numb. The door suddenly opened and Zamiel walked in, he had a straight face but once we made eye contact he gave me a small smile.

I wanted to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating but I couldn't as my hands were numb.

" you've finally gained consciousness " he took a sit beside me. Taking in a deep breath I removed the mask

" w...water " I managed to say but it came out more like a whisper which Zamiel seemed to have heard as he helped me sit up supporting me with a pillow and helped me with a glass of water. I couldn't remember what happened or how I became unconscious

but the figured of the lady with dark hair and blue eyes were still evident and remembering the scene she showed me shook me to the core

" what's with that expression? "

" I. I feel shaken to the core " I murmured

" core..what's wrong with your core," he said eyeing me

' seriously is he anymore stupid, or is he trying to play innocent ' I rolled my eyes

" It's an expression Mr. Dean .. and what happened how did I get here. I remember that I was with Xavier and Amber " I questioned

" yes but you fell unconscious...and you've been unconscious for the past forty-eight hours "

" What !! where's my little Amber and ... "

" shh you worry too much and Amber is with the chef...not as if she's your child "

" so what ...and why did I fall unconscious ? "

" no one knows.. your reports say nothing Asher advice you to have as much rest as possible "

" Okay..and my cooking classes? "

" I already called and informed Raymond that you wouldn't be attending class for the next one month "

" What one month !!! I was only told to rest and not to be turned into a handicap " I said half screaming

" you aren't going to spend the next month on the bed your dad called and asked us to meet them at x island for some kind of vacation...but I told him you were sick and he asked us to come over once you're better " he informed and I sighed.

Every year dad takes us to his island, there aren't many people there except the caretakers. He says the island is a very special place to both him and mum as it was the place he first confessed his feelings to her.

" I'll go freshen up then so we can start going, " I said trying to get off the bed but he held me back

" We aren't in a rush and you were asked not to move an inch so remain on the bed"

" but I want to freshen up " I complained

" then I'll give you a sponge bath but don't move an inch... I'll go get you something to eat "

he said and exit the room.

' then I'll give you a sponge bath what a show of' I taught to myself and rolled my eyes

what is he even trying to prove that he's the best husband in the world... whatever

I just hope am safe .. the flashes from my dream suddenly appeared and I suddenly felt a wave of sadness

" hey there " I turned to find the white cat from last time

" you. you're here again? " I exclaimed

" yes I told you that I'll always be here to help you and you seem disturbed " she sat up looking at me

"hmm.. actually I had this dream and it kinda felt so real "

" hmm since you only had it once then forget about it but if it becomes frequent then ... "

" then? "

" keep calm and take note of everything in your dream it might be a revelation "

she might be right and why in hell am I killing myself about that dream

" what's your name, " I asked as last time I didn't have the opportunity to do so

" Catherine," she said and disappeared

" Catherine " I called hoping she would come back but she didn't

" who's Catherine? " I turned to find Zamiel starring at me

' could he have seen or heard what I told her ? ' I taught about to panic

" no one " I replied with a straight face and he nodded

*. *. *

my abdomen clenched and my head aced very badly, the pain from my stomach was just unbearable and moving my legs was just impossible..beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I looked around to notice I wasn't in Zamiel's room.

it suddenly came to mind that we were on Zamiel's ship; cruising to island x

The rust smell of blood filled my nose and I began seeing things appear double

" ZAMIEL!!! " I screamed as the pain became unbearable but got no response

" ZAMIEL !!! " I called again and the door flew open

" Carmela what's wrong " he came toward me

" my...my stomach hurts, " I said as tear's streamed down my face, his eyes suddenly scanned my body and his expression changed

" Carmela you're bleeding" he gathered me in his arms and exit the room.

The pain was just too much and I couldn't stop my tears, my eyes were open but everything was pitch black

" ASHER !!! " I could hear Zamiel call

~~ZAMIEL POV ~~

" ASHER !!! " I rushed to Asher's room, I couldn't understand why Carmela was bleeding she wasn't injured so why is there so much blood

" Zamiel what's wrong? " Asher rushed towards me

" I don't know what's wrong Carmela is bleeding " I laid her on the bed

Xavier and Rain rushed in and Rain sighed looking at Carmela

" Can you all excuse us I know what to do " she said pushing I, Xavier, and Asher outside and shutting the door

" Zamiel don't worry she'll be alright," Asher said patting my shoulder

" you sure? "

" yes," he said and left

" hmm.. someone seems to be worried sick about his wife, " Xavier said grinning from ear to ear

" meaning? "

" oh it's not ...I just smell love in the air " he winked and left

" what an idiot "

' you see even the people around you have started noticing your change of behavior towards her ' my subconscious started again

" just shut up " I scolded

' Whatever '

The door opened and Rain came out giving me a faint smile

" what's wrong with her? "

" well... it's her monthly cycle don't worry she'll be alright she assured and left

I walked into the room and Carmela was lying on the bed with a duvet covering her body

" how's your stomach? " I asked and she turned to face me with puffy eyes

" it's okay"

" Are you hungry "

" no am fine," she said and I nodded taking a sitting beside her

" so do you mind telling me what happened back then " I questioned and her face turned crimson red

is she feeling shy or embarrassed?

" I ..it's...my monthly cycle nothing else "

" Ohh..then you should start calculating your cycles we wouldn't want this incident repeating itself," I said and she rolled her eyes

" It's just this once..you shouldn't behave like it always happens " she scoffed

" it's not my fault that your family wishes for you to be pampered " I smirked

" hey don't involve my family in this unless... "

" Unless what? " I raised an eyebrow

" don't worry I'll teach you a lesson once I get dressed and better as for now you can keep taunting me," she said and pulled the duvet over her head

something about the way she behaved felt childish and I seem to like it..this feeling was strange but I always have it whenever am around the same person I hate the most

my little feisty lamb
