Chapter 219 - I Want Something From You

The room was silent as the couple slept next to each other without bothering about their surrounding when Elena stir out from her consciousness.

'Why do I feel stiff' she thought and opened her eyes.

It took her a while to get back to her sense as she remembered about passing out. Her memories began to rush in when she muttered," Lucas"

As if the man next to her heard her answered back," Hmm.." 

It was then Elena realized why she was feeling restricted to move when her eyes turned to her side only to find Lucas snuggling closed to her.

Elena was shocked watching him sleeping next to her.

'How did he reach here' she thought looking how peacefully he was sleeping holding her close to him.

Elena was relief the time she heard Daniel and that was the moment when her body lost its strength completely and she passed out.

Lucas still looked a little pale. The blood he lost while returning back was too much which risked his life.

"What were you thinking when you jumped for saving me" her eyes welled up thinking about the scene which she couldn't get out from her mind.

She cursed the time when all the unfortunate thing happened and his life was pulled into the brick of death.

Her hand lift on its own and reached to touch his face. How her life would have turn lifeless if anything would have happened to him. Loosing him was like loosing herself. She didn't wanted to imagine a life without him.

"I was scared" she said tracing her finger on his face touching him, feeling him next to her.

Her voice was too low to wake him up but the moment she was about the pull her hand back Lucas opened his eyes and stared back at her.

"And I was scare of loosing you and out babies" his palm rested on her stomach moved rubbing her belly.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes as she looked at him. She didn't knew what would have happened if he was not rushed out from that isolated place. She would have lost him forever. 

She closed her eyes and sobbed thinking he was back with her and nothing happened to him.

Lucas had been awake from the time she called his name in her sleepy voice. The effect of the medicine had already drained waking him up. He still was feeling the pain of the stiches but he didn't moved fearing he would wake her up.

"Promise me you will never do such a stupid thing and risk your life" Elena never wanted him to act reckless again just the way he did inside the base.

Lucas frown on her words. How can he stand still and do nothing when his wife was at the gun point.

"I can't promise that" he shook his head making her frown.

Pulling her closed to him he pecked her lips and said," If I have to risk my life to protect you both then I will do the same did today" he looked down pointing on her tummy.

Listening to him she burst even more scaring the shit out of him," Sunshine don't cry please"

Lucas felt he used to much emotions in his words and her mood strike up.

Elena slapped him on his cheeks and cried hiding her face in the crook of his neck, "What would I do if something had happened to you"

Elena couldn't stop her over flowing emotion as her pregnant instinct strike.

"You don't know how scared I was.. You looked all pale and your body was turning cold" she pulled back and pinched his ear," Promise me you won't scare me like this again.. I can't imagine my life without you Lucas" 

Lucas was overwhelmed with her outburst because it was the first time he had heard Elena speak so much without taking a break.

While the couple was having a quarrel inside their room, Daniel smiled peeking through the small window frame," Cute" saying this he retreated back.

He had just came to check if they had any discomfort but when he reached there he heard Elena's crying voice. First he wanted to barge inside and look at her but then he stopped when he saw his brother comforting her.

Daniel walked back to his cabin and took a seat when his phone buzzed for the tenth time. 

"Normal people sleep this hour. Why can't he do that" watching the caller he flared send death glare.

It was 4 am in the morning and this sleep deprived friend of his was not even letting him take a nap for a moment.

'Am I a robot'

Closing his eyes Daniel pick up the call and leaned back resting his head against the head rest and spoke in a very tired voice," Are you tired of living" 

"How dare your ignore my calls you adult like kid" Ethan had excused himself out from his bedroom as he stood in the balcony talking in whisper.

"Don't you talk me in that manner I will end the call" Daniel was too tired to listen his complain.

He was a married man now and instead of being with his wife he was sitting inside his cabin and working.

Ethan calmed down when he warned him. He knew it was too early for him to pester Daniel and he also knew if he says anything to him then he would cut the call on his face.

"Okay.. okay don't get angry.."

From the time Samantha told him she will only marry him when he would propose her just like Daniel and Lucas did until then he would only have to get satisfied by a peck he quickly made a call to Daniel. 

'Like seriously'

When Daniel didn't heard anything from Ethan he spoke," Ethan are you there?" 

Snapped out from his thought Ethan heard Daniel," Ah.. that I need your help dude"

Daniel smirked hearing his soft words. This was the second time he had heard Ethan speak like a normal human with him.

"And how can I help you?"

Ethan shut his eyes cursing how can a day like this come when he had to take advice from a kid himself.

Daniel waited for him to speak when all of sudden he heard Ethan," How can I propose Samantha for marriage" 

His sudden rush of words froze Daniel as he held his cellphone close to his ear. It took him a while to get his words when his lips stretched and he burst into laughter.

"Hahahah.... what did you say... come again.. hahaha.."

Ethan lips twitch hearing his laughter. He knew this was going to happen. If Lucas was not hospitalized he wouldn't have call him knowing how he waited to pull his leg.

"Will you stop laughing" Ethan gritted his teeth listening his laugh.

"Ha.. okay okay I'll stop. But why all of sudden you want to propose her. Didn't you say that you wanted to take thing slow and let Samantha adjusted with her new job"

Ethan heaved a sigh knowing how his thoughts changed just by watching his friends getting settle.

"Even I had thought the same assuming even Sam needed time and was not ready to settle down, not until today when she voiced whatever was in her mind.. So dude I really need your help" 

Daniel could tell Ethan was serious as he could feel his sincere words," Okay then listen to me.."

****

By the time Lucas and Elena woke up again it was 10 in the morning. It was Elena who had woke up before Lucas. 

She wanted to pee but when she tried to move Lucas wrapped his arm even tight around her.

'Even in his sleep he is not leaving me' she shook her head and pulled his hand up slowly getting out from his hold and walking towards the restroom.

By the time she came out Lucas was already awake and was looking in her direction.

"Why did you wake up" she walked and sat at the edge of the bed. 

Elena was feeling all fresh now that her health was back to normal and she felt more active.

"Why did you leave my side" Lucas complained pouting his lips making her chuckle.

She reached her hand and pinched his cheeks and said," Because I wanted to pee"

Elena watched his pout release when her eyes went to look his wound. Under the hospital dress she couldn't see how big the wound was but she could guess with his discomfort that it was majorly hurting him.

"Does it hurts?" she asked looking at his stomach.

"A little but it will soon be fine with you being next to me" Lucas wanted to hold her hand but she jerked it and slapped his arm.

"Ow... Sunshine.. " he hissed in pain making her worry.

"Oh.. sorry did it hurt.. wait let me call the nurse" she said and got to leave when he held her wrist and pulled her back making her fall on him.

"I was just joking" his mischievous smile made her surprise.

"You... how can you joke in such situation" she wriggled in his arm but he didn't let her go and reached his hand at the back of her head pulling her closed to him.

"Because I want something from you" he said looking into her deep brown eyes.

"W-what do you want" she asked getting startled by his hot breath.

"This..." he pulled her closed to him and sealed her lips taking her by surprise.
