Saved by him

Chap 11 - safe

Ella's POV

I wake up to a find myself laying in the most amazing room I have ever seen in my life. As I turn my head, I realise that I am lying with my head on Theo's chest and his arm is around my waist.

He is only in his boxers and I can fully see his abs and his muscles in their full glory. He is like a god. I can't help but stare at all the tattoos he also has snaking up his arms and spreading across his chest and his back. Every one of them looks as if it has its own personal story.

"Like what you see?"

My cheeks go bright red

"You are so cute when you blush" he says smiling down at me.

I instantly turn my head away

"Hey, don't hide that cute blush from me" he puts his hand under my chin and carefully turns my head so that we are facing each other.

The tension in the room is thick but the love in his eyes tells me that wherever I am right now, I'm safe because he is here.

"Theo , where are we?" I ask

"This is my house , I took you home last night after ... you know" his eyes show sadness. " I got the doctor here and he patched you up and gave you some strong pain killers which might be wearing off soon, so you'll have to take some more."

I push the duvet down and look at my ribs all bandaged up and my legs in short shorts show all the bruises. A tear runs down my cheek, followed by many more as I realise how I'm never going to be worth anything, especially when I look like this.

I feel Theo's thumbs wiping across my cheeks as he whispers soothing things to calm me down. As I move a little a wince in pain and Theo helps me to lie back down into a comfortable position

"Thank you Theo"

"For what?"

"For saving me"

"I'll always save you, you're mine, remember"

And that was the last thing i heard before I fell asleep once again in his arms.
