“Burn those who burned me!” Chapter 103

***Gracie’s POV:***

I woke up the next morning feeling amazing. It was like my entire body went through a rejuvenation phase. It was also the second time I didn’t have any nightmares. I began to panic however when I realized the warm and comfortable thing I had been laying on was NOT a pillow and in fact Kai!!

How did I end up on Kai?? And for that matter, when exactly did I fall asleep? The last thing I remembered was telling Kai I wasn’t even sleepy. I guess my body was more exhausted than I realized. I looked up at Kai who was still sleeping. His breathing was light as his left arm was draped over me protectively. I smiled slightly…the first time I had a peaceful sleep; I’d had a dream about him…now, I'd experienced yet another peaceful night with him.

*Hmm.*

Maybe he was my sleeping charm. I looked up at the clock on the wall; the time was 6:42am. Still early. I decided to get up and start packing everything up; not wanting to wake Kai, I slowly eased off his chest but as soon as I tried to sit up, his arm gripped me tighter.

Startled, I froze in place not knowing if he’d waken up. His eyes were still closed but his grip remained tight. I tried to move again assuming it was a reflex when Kai spoke.

*“Just a little longer.”*

*???????*

*“Stay here with me just a little longer.”*

I smiled warmly at my adorable fiancé, nodding in agreement, I laid back on his chest. When I peaked up, I could see his eyes staring directly into mine.

I Instantly blushed. Why did he have to be so beautiful! Kai smiled lightly as he kissed me on the top of my head.

*“Good morning beautiful.”*

I shrank shyly into his chest. Hoping he didn’t notice how red my ears were.

*“Good morning.”*

I spoke in a low voice too ashamed of where my thoughts were headed.

*“How’d you sleep?”*

*“I actually slept amazing. Thank you.”*

Kai smiled,

*“See, I told you the bed was comfortable.”*

My eyes lowered as a thought occurred to me. Kai looked at me with a worried expression.

*“What are you thinking about?”*

I looked back at him shyly.

*“I just…well…I wonder if it’s because I was sleeping next you…”*

Kai smiled brightly, all teeth showing.

*“Ms. Teagues…are you saying you want to sleep with me every night?”*

*WHAT!!!!!*

*“That’s not…..”*

I instantly put my head under the covers. I couldn’t finish the sentence because I think that WAS what I was trying to say.

Kai laughed out loud as he tried to remove the blanket from over my head. I tightened my grip not wanting him to see how embarrassed I was.

*“Gracie…please look at me. I promise not to laugh.”*

I paused for a moment before slowly removing the sheets. Kai was staring at me passionately. Brushing a strand of hair off my face, Kai lightly lifted my chin so that our eyes were connected.

*“Gracie, the fact that you feel that way about me. You have no idea how much that means to me. I want you to do whatever makes you comfortable, BUT…just so you know…I’m never opposed to us being together. Fill free to use me anytime you want or need my love and attention.”*

I could feel my entire body heat up from my toes to my head. I spoke in low and honest tone.

*“I might get greedy.”*

Kai was awakening feelings in me I’d never experienced even in my previous life. He smiled and gently kissed my forehead.

*“Good thing I’m unlimited.”*

We spent another hour in the bed wrapped in each other’s arms, it felt so good to be loved like this.

We officially got up around 8:05am, I showered and dressed first. While waiting for me to finish, Kai ordered us some breakfast.

*“I’m going to shower and get dressed, the food should be here by the time I finish.”*

I smiled and nodded my head in agreement as I braided my hair down. I decided to make two braids for my hairstyle today. As if on cue, as soon as Kai finished, the food arrived.

He ordered us pancakes, cheesed eggs, and sausage with orange from the hospital kitchen. For this place being a hospital, you would have sworn you were eating at a five star hotel. The food was delicious! As we ate, there was a knock on the door. Kai’s doctor and nurse arrived to provide him with his discharge papers.

Kai stood to shake Dr. Connors’ hand as he made his way to our table.

*“Good morning Heir Chris. I trust you’re feeling well.”*

Kai looked at me and smiled warmly.

*“Better than well doc. I feel amazing.”*

I blushed.

The nurse held her head down a little as she smiled. Dr. Connors smiled as well while pulling out his discharge papers. I also stood up so that I could read the documents in case there were any special treatments or diets Kai may need.

*“Well Kai, I have to say…you’re one of my more remarkable stories. The accident you were end…something like that could have been fatal.”*

I shuttered at those words; I could no longer imagine a world Kai was not in.

*“And yet, somehow not only did you survive but you’ve awaken from a six month coma! Your vitals and tests all came back great. The results of the EKG as well as the CAT all look great. There’s no neurological damages whatsoever as well.”*

I beamed brightly; overjoyed hearing Kai was completely healthy.

Kai leaned over to whisper in my ear.

*“You see…I’m invincible.”*

He stood back straight and winked.

*Uggghhhh!!!*

I have got to get a hold of myself! I can’t turn bright red every time he does something cute. I’m starting to think he’s doing this on purpose.

Dr. Connors signed off on his discharge as the nurse checked his vitals one last time.

*“All good Mr. Chris.”*

The nurse smiled brightly; right before leaving, she turned in my direction.

*“Take good care of this one young Ms. He’s tenacious.”*

I smiled and nodded in agreement; I planned on spending my life doing exactly that.

After the doctor and nurse left, Kai called Cameron and instructed him to head to hospital. Afterwards, he called his parents to let them know we would be home soon.

I could hear the excitement on the other end as everyone cheered. Cameron along with the two bodyguards from yesterday arrived at 10:30am. As Cameron instructed the bodyguards to grab our bags, he pulled out a tablet.

*“Good morning sir.”*

*“Cameron. I trust you had a good evening yesterday.”*

*“Indeed, I did sir. I’ve made sure your recovery remained concealed. We’ll release that information when you’re ready.”*

*“Excellent. I don’t want anyone to know of my recovery until September. I’ll update you on everything over the next few days. I’ll be working from my home office.”*

Cameron nodded in agreement.

*“Oh, and Cameron…good work. Thank you for maintaining everything these past six months.”*

Cameron smiled brightly. The warmth of Kai’s appreciation in his eyes. I smiled slightly; Cameron really was amazing.

We made our way to the elevators; I could tell Kai was eager to go home. Before leaving, He whispered something in Cameron’s ear. Cameron walked over to the head administrator and spoke low enough for only her to hear. I could see the older woman’s eyes widen with what looked like shock. After Cameron finished, he walked away with a slight smile.

Several nurses ran over to the admin and asked what was said. I wasn’t sure what Cameron had told her, but as we walked onto the elevator, sounds that resembled cheers began to erupt as the doors closed.

We walked over to a white Rolls-Royce. The two bodyguards walked over to a black Ford Expedition. Kai opened my door while smiling at me.

*“Ready to go home fiancé?”*

I beamed at the title. Hearing him say it made it officially feel real.

*“Ready.”*
