UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 251 – 260
Just then, Aisha enters.
“Look who’s awake,” she praises with her big smile. She stands next to Dad with her hand around his shoulder.
“How are you? How are you doing?” she asks.
“I’m good. A little headache though,” I say as she sighs.
She unwraps her arms from around Sinclair as she sits on the edge of my bed.
“I’m really sorry about what happened. I just hope you get better,” Aisha says.
Alexa twists her lips and dramatically shoots herself. Sinclair sees her and shakes his head sideways.
“Thank you, Aisha.”
“Oh my God. She’s awake!” Brandon and Piper shout as they close my room door.
“And she looks more beautiful,” Brandon adds as they surround my bed.
“Hey, guys.” I smile, still not forgetting the fact that I have Gray Jr. right inside my tummy. This is too big to take in.
I need to tell someone. Certainly not Gray.
“We were so worried. I thought we’ve lost you again,” Piper sighs as she pouts.
“Thanks, guys. I’m fine and strong,” I manage to laugh.
“How are you feeling? Better?” Brandon asks.
“Yes, Brandon. I’m doing great. Thanks, guys, for checking up on me.”
“Yeah. These guys…” Piper whispers, motioning to Sinclair and Aisha like they are not in the room.
Aisha giggles as she smiles. She stands up and wraps her arm around Sinclair’s shoulder.
“That’s my dad, and that’s his wife,” I introduce.
“Uh… I don’t get it. How is he your dad?” Brandon and Piper ask.
“Yup. He’s her dad. That’s his wife. Please don’t ask if her supposed mom cheated on her supposed dad with him,” Alexa says. “Those parents of hers are Ariel’s foster parents, and the supposed mom is her aunt. Got it?” Alexa continues.
“Fuck, you’re crazy.”
UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 251 – 260
A week later, I finally got discharged. Gray’s still admitted. Heard the doctor said it’s not safe for Gray to leave, considering that he suffered internal bleeding.
After I was discharged, Dad drove me home. I changed my clothes and returned to the hospital. Sinclair didn’t allow it. He scolded me several times, but I was too adamant to listen to him.
I twist the doorknob to Gray’s room and peek my head in. Manny is seated next to him, reading a magazine. They visited me before I was discharged—Manny, Nick, and Reid. Reid didn’t talk much. Nick—jeez, I barely could feel my ears that day.
Gray is up. He averts his gaze to the door, and our eyes meet. He smiles at me, and I walk in. The doctor said he’ll be discharged the day after tomorrow.
I close the door as Manny looks up from his magazine.
“Hi, Manny.” I greet him and sit next to Gray.
“Hi,” he replies with a smile.
“Hey, babe,” Gray says as he holds my wrist.
“You look a little pale,” I tell him and touch his neck.
“I’m fine. These fuckin’ doctors won’t let me out. They are annoying as fuck,” he says, and I chuckle.
“Never knew you nag when sick.”
“I’m not sick,” he defends.
“You got shot, Gray,” I remind him. He rolls his eyes and looks me down.
“I’m just glad you’re fine. That’s what matters,” he says and kisses me at once.
“Damn. I’m just gonna get the hell out of here,” Manny says. I chuckle in between the kiss.
“Bye, Manny,” Gray says as Manny shuts the door.
