Martins pov
I felt something on my hands, a warm tingly heavy feeling, but for weird reason it seems to generate hit, something i deeply need, and whatever it is, i don’t want it to stop, my eyes were so weak, i had thought of opening then a minute before it got intruded by the light, a blinding ray of light.
The images of where ever i was, seemed blurr, too blur i can't really detect the shape of things, my head felt calm wey too calm i might be sleeping in a cooler, my body felt cold as well, but almost lifeless, except that part of my body that is oddly warm.
My hand
I tried flicking it , but each movement comes out as a slight wiggle, my neck felt too stiff to turn, my eyes wide open now as i fear the moment i close my eye I would be back to that dark place , that place i wouldn’t want to go back to
I kept moving in the dark, endless darkness, naked and cold, till I opened my eyes, that's all I can remember, ‘I can do this’ . I chanted to myself repeatedly as I tried moving my stiff head, like a mantle stuck on this soft pillow that needs adjustment.
After several tries it finally moves, bu just then i felt a thug in my heart, its sinclair, she's the source of heat, shes sleeping on my hands, my heart sinks just seeing how calm she is sleeping, i thought i would never see her again she said i should leave her life. She said she doesn't want me again.
I want to hold her close, i miss her, if only she knows how bad her words hurt me, i couldn't get her image off my mind, even when it all happen her image was the last thing i saw till my eyes was covered in blood and my body too weak to stay awake, looking at her face, she looks stressed, i could see the dried up tears at the side of her face, how long did i make her suffer?.
How long as she cried?
flicking my hands again, she doesn't wake up, “mmy hands are too weak to make a noticeable effect, “sinclair’ i said but my throat was too dry, for actual words to come out, but i don't give up there, she needs to stop crying as i see fresh tears forming at the brim of her eyes,
Shes having a nightmare, but shes smiling
Weird.
“ sinclair
Sinclair
She mumbles some word in her sleep, but i flick my hands more calling her name, till she opened her eyes, then yelps from her seat like she just saw a ghost, “hi?” i said amused as I tried to smile, but the shock residing ok her face dawdles for a while.
“ were you having nightmare?” i asked again just to clarify she wasnt having a nightmare, “ martins are you awake?” she asked and i flicked my hands again, she looked at my hands again then at my face, “ martins” she cries out as she comes slamming her body on mine.
Finally i feel something
Pain
“ you will send me back, if you don't keep your arms off me now” i said through stifled groans, she giggle then breaks free, “ you are awake” she wipes the tears brewing hot on her cheek, “ yes mami” i said still shifting uncomfortable on the bed, it's so hard on my body, “ wow, i .. i .” she stutters as she tries to formulate words.
But i just stares at her, smiling,i missed this face, i missed this presence “wow” she said closing her mouth with her hands, then she walks out but comes back just as immediately, “ let me call the doctor” she said walking out , the comes back again, “ i don't want to leave i will use the side phone:” she says.
Her nervous reaction was priceless, she rang the bell, then seats back on the stoll provided, “ martins” now her eyes were red with tears, “ sinclair” i reply waiting for whatever she has to say, “ i am sorry i said those words to you, i was , i was sad’ she said almost crying again.
“ i thought i had lost you, i thought i would never see you again” this time she cleans the tears under her eyes,
“ i am sorry,i should have kept linda away from you, but she was lying with all those accusation” i said
“ i know, nessa showed me proof and i am sorry i didn't believe in you:” she said, and the uneasiness in my chest eased off, nessa came to my rescue, fuck i thought she wouldnt receive that message.
“ if i had believed in you as i should in our love, you wouldn’t be in this situation i am sorry you almost lost your life because of me” she said, but then it all comes back to me, i wasn't in that accident on purpose, i remember taking my car down the lane leading tho baldwin.
I didn't want to be in her life anymore, just like she had said and the first place that came to my mind was baldwin where it all began, where we fell in love, but just when i had sent nessa the last voice message i got overtaken by a truck which wanted to desperately crush my car, i had dodged with some stunts but just then we collided.
I remembered losing consciousness, then.. Adonis, i saw adonis, he stood before my capsized car, smiling devbilishesly, he said words i couldn’t remember, but he said family and that was all i remember till I lost consciousness.
“ adonis” i said, as those horrible images flashes in my mind,
“ what?”
Adonis
“Adonis, adonis did this” i said i watch her seat upright, just then nessa and linda walks into the room both aware of the news of my alertness, “ hey buddy” nessa said as she laid on my body, ones more i feel pain, more pain, bone deep pain.
Groaning in pain, she finally realizes then stands up , cleaning her eyes, her wet and puffy eyes, “ thank goddess you are awake” she said still hiding her tears behind that sad smile, “ thanks goddess’ i said, my eyes travel down the lady standing like a lone log, her hands clasped in a loose knot before her.
She stares at me, with a sad look on her face, she's guilty, i could tell, with the way she leaned on one feet, she wants to say sorry, but if sinclair was aware, and she was allowed in the ward, without being arrested, that means she’s cool with the idea that i would never leave sinclair for her.
“ you are forgiven” i said , passing a warm smile, she bursts out in tears, but couples herself right after, “ thanks” she said cleaning her eyes, my eyes travel to sinclair who still looks confused, “ adonis did all this, “ i said.
“ how?”
They asked in unison, “ he used a truck to hit my car, that's what happened” i said with a dry throat, sinclair stands giving me a warm glass of water , “ do you remember any other things?” she asked slightly furious, i wave my head in disapproval.
“ i will tell this to the cops and they will put him and everyone behind this into a lawful consideration” i passed a smile to her, she didn't smile back, shes pissed now and I could tell the dreadful fate of that young man.
Looking at nessa her reaction wasn't any different, they all looked angry accept linda who still looks guilty.
Hours past and i am made to check out some finger and number , dumb right, yea me too, the cops had written a statement and i know adonis wouldn't get out of this anytime swoon, nessa had gone home to bring food fo sinclair and i now i am made to stay her with sinclair beside me.
“ hey” i said to her, she look back at me giving me a cheek wide smile, an infectious smile that got me smiling back at her, “ so how is my queen doing” i asked, she just smiles at me then pick my hands up , placing a kiss on my palm, which send warm tingles down my toae.
“ guess who's being super romantic” she blushes, then blows a kiss towards me, i dramatically catch it , then place it on my chest, “ what were you dreaming about, that made you cry in your sleep ?” i asked as i remembered my process of waking up, she's freezes then i see a her blush, “ we were getting married|’
My heart slammed harder , “ Really!, i would love that. Would you marry me sinclair?” I asked, and it had been in my mind forever, “ what?”
“Would you marry me , sinclair, i know we didn't start off in right foot, but i want to correct that, i want you in my life, even if it means fighting off death, just to be with you_”
She stands from her seat, slamming her lips on mine as i felt her tears on my face, my heart flutter dramatically, this is the most emotion; kiss i have had in like ever, and for weird reason i feel pain , emotional pain this time as i try so hard not to cry.
Every hurt feeling Iife had me contain made it’s way to the surface, like it had found reasons to blow of steam, it felt like joy.
You call it madness, but I call it love.
“ yes, yes martins i would marry you ”
