Endless Confusion Pt 03

I never really realized how freaking annoying the beeping is from the hospital machines and how sterile and white it is. Why not have the room decorated in different colors like in This Old House magazine? It's literally hurting my eyes, adding to the pain in my leg. After an hour or so in surgery, where they dug the bullet out of my lower calf bone, I was given pain medication right after but for some reason my body wasn't having it. It was like my body wanted to punish me for being stupid.

With that thought, the doctor came in. Oh boy. He was absolutely gorgeous and I immediately stopped frowning. At least I can be entertained while I am here.

"Ms. Alvow, I am Dr. Cane but you may call me Blake." His name definitely matched his personality because wow. He was almost a photocopy version of Adrian in the characteristics department, it was just his features that were different. He wasn't more attractive than Adrian, that wasn't possible, but holy hell.

"Hey handsome," I am in a hospital so I can flirt; sue me. "You can call me Allana. What's the diagnosis, Blake?" I said his name with a soft smile and winked at him. I wasn't interested, he was nice to look at, but I am not on the market for anybody right now. It was just fun when your doctor is a hunk and it distracts you from the pain.

Blake winks back and then looks down at his clipboard. "We were able to remove the bullet from your leg, but it splintered part of the bone and almost punctured your popliteal artery. Basically, you are going to be in a lot of pain for awhile but you'll be fine. You will be discharged later today so until then just rest up and enjoy the life of the lazy." Mr. Hunk smiled at me in a smile so beautiful that it was mesmerizing and so I just relaxed into the pillows and smiled back. I love my life.

With that thought, I hear a commotion outside of my door and loud voices yelling. Most notably, a deep voice that I loved, or used to love.

"If you had any idea of the power I had over you, you would immediately let me in so I can see her." This sentence rises above the rest and I freeze. I hate my life. The one time he comes to visit me is the one time that I can't run away. I slam my head back onto the pillows behind my head and groan.

"Allana? Do you need some more pain medication?" Blake leans over me and puts his hand on my shoulder, face close to mine. Which is how Adrian finds us when he bursts through the door, a flustered nurse running behind him.

"I'm sorry Dr. Cane, I tried to stop him, I promise!" The nurse twittered to Blake and he just stands up straight to glare at the now supremely pissed off Adrian Belleview.

"Who are you and why have you upset my nurse?" Blake glares at Adrian and faces off with the towering man.

"No, Who the hell are you and why are you touching what is mine?" Adrian clips out and I come unfrozen.

I raise my hand and clear my throat. "Excuse me? Yeah, I just heard you think I belong to you and so I really think that you should get your head checked out. Make sure that you don't have a concussion or something that is causing this confusion." I can't help my sarcastic nature in tense situations and so it all just comes in a sassy ball of fire. I am obviously an idiot, as I am provoking him even more. When Adrian gets angry, he gets extremely pissed off and it would frighten an attacking pit bull.

I just angered him even more. Dang. I know this because he strides towards me and leans down to my face, eyes blazing with fury. Wow. Even when he is a, ahem, donkey, he is still the most attractive man I have ever seen in my life.

"Make no mistake, Allana. Just because I allowed you to work out your temper tantrum for three effing months doesn't mean that you still don't belong to me. You became mine five months ago when you told me you loved me and I did the same. That didn't change when you left me, and it won't ever change." My blood boils and I lash out at him. How dare he come in here and tell me that the way I reacted to his betrayal was just a childlike fit.

"You freaking dare. You come in here, while I am recovering from being shot, and you tell me that the man who destroyed me three months ago still owns me? Not happening. Blake? Get him out of here. I don't want to see him and I don't want to hear of him." I thought that that would be the end of it, but Adrian just laughs. Not even facing the other people in the room, he begins to speak.

"Dr. Cane, I own this entire hospital as of three hours ago. If you don't want to be fired on the spot, you will leave this room." I can tell Blake wants to say something, but his face drops and he looks at me apologetically. He walks out of the room, the flustered nurse in tow.

Adrian sits down on the edge of my bed and before I can stop him, he kisses me. Oh hell no. I pull away and smack him upside the head. Is he really that thick to think that I would forgive him after all this time?

"Adrian, get out. I don't know why you even care that I am here. Enough to buy the freaking hospital? You are absolutely insane and I don't kiss the crazy." Adrian just winks at me like I am cute. Then his face gets serious and he brings himself closer to me.

"How could you think that I don't care? I love you, Allana. Whatever lie you believe isn't true in any way and so you best get it out of your head that I never cared. There is so much I need to say and the first is that you are mine. You are mine to cherish. Mine to love. Mine to protect. The rest can wait until you are home with me, recovering. And you are coming home with me." He finishes his little spiel and I immediately begin to protest everything that he just said.

"A. You were using me to get information on my father. B. You are a freaking liar. C. I am never going home with you ever again. D. I AM NOT YOURS!" I yell the last part and I can see that he is starting to get pissed again.

He gets up and starts to pace, lecturing me the entire time.

"Agapi mou, we will talk about this when you get discharged and we are home. Not another word about it or so help me, I will put you over my knee. It was my fault that you were in the position to be kidnapped and shot, and we will be talking about that later as well. Now sit quietly while I go talk to Dr. Cane. I can take far better care of you at home" He growls out all of this and I shiver. Not in fear, of course. He would never hurt me, well except to punish me. But seriously... he is freaking hot when he is angry.

However, I am not so easily convinced. Screaming profanities at him, I protest when he leaves the room to go talk to Blake. As soon as he leaves though, I curl into my pillow and burst into tears.
