She rushed to him and saw that the wound was from a gunshot, her eyes scanned the wound and she hooked her arm to his, trying to take him to the couch but he was too heavy for her. She raised her head and found herself staring at a man who was gawking at her.
She raised a brow at him in askance but he was too busy staring, Sapphire clicked her finger and he jolted out of his daydream.
'Who are you?" She finally asked.
'I am Zayn, Alexander's friend," He introduced and helped her take Alexander to the couch.
'Close that door for me, would you?"
'Isn't it daring to invite me in just because I said that I am Alexander's friend, I know that with his character he wouldn't talk about me to you, what if I came to hurt you?" He asked but Sapphire already left the living room.
Zayn wondered which kind of woman his friend got engaged to, was she reckless or brave? He stared at Alexander who was just staring like an idiot.
'You ‘wife' just walked out on us, I have no idea what she went to do upstairs, could it be that she is leaving her dear husband to die?" He asked, his hand on his chin and a smirk on his lips.
'Shut up, Zayn," He groaned at him and he chuckled, his wife came downstairs with a first aid kit in her hand which Zayn stared at curiously.
'No killer would help me move the person he want to kill to the chair and you should have shot us as soon as I opened the door for you," She said, as she bent down beside Alexander and opened it, Zayn felt his mouth open in surprise, the woman had everything to treat every kind of wound, it was not an ordinary first aid box it was basically a compartment designed to hide things like this.
'Were you once a doctor of the mafia in the past?" He asked in interest but Sapphire didn't spare him a glance, she wore gloves and took scissors. Alexander's suit was already unbuttoned so she got him off it and started cutting his shirt with the scissors.
'Wait, that shirt is expensive, you are wasting away five thousand dollars!" Zayn exclaimed, dramatically which made Alexander flinch, Sapphire glared at him.
'Keep your mouth shut," She snapped at him.
'Couldn't you have waited till we reached the bedroom before you started undressing me?' He teased and Sapphire glared at him.
'You too," She said simply.
'I mean, I enter, you sat me down and the first thing you did was tear off my clothes, I didn't know that you like it rough," He continued, and she knew that he was saying nonsense, the man was barely conscious.
She poured the disinfectant on his wound and he groaned once again before he pouted which made Zayn scoff but made a small smile form on Sapphire's lips.
He looks cute.
----------------------
'Now, all done," She said as she finished dressing the wound, the bullet was in a pan that was placed on the table. 'Do you feel better now?" She asked worriedly, when Alexander groaned again.
'I always feel okay when I am with you," He said and she only shook her head.
'Stop saying nonsense," She said, giving him a glass of water and some drugs that would put him to sleep, he collected it without asking what it was and swallowed it.
'Alexander, you are so whipped! As far as I am concerned you don't know if she had any experience in this field and you just took the drugs like that?"
'I know that she would tell me about it later," he said firmly and Zayn stared at him in disbelief.
'Aren't you trusting this woman a bit too blindly, you only knows what she tells you about her and you would not investigate anything about her, even thing you are supposed to know about that damn Gray, you would stop it every time it looks like you have to dig into her past," Zayn said to Alexander, either forgetting that she is in the room or simply not caring about her presence.
'That is my problem, not yours,"
'She couldn't be the damsel all through, she would have had some bad traits then too,"Zayn snapped and Sapphire nodded as she began to pack up her stuff. He is right, she also did her set of wrong things three years ago too.
She is only amazed by Alexander's level of trust and how he tries to help her keep her dignity and pride in the only way he could. She didn't say it now, maybe someday she would but this is the act he did that served as the first step in thawing the heart she froze herself, she could feel some ice melt off.
'She isn't a damsel and I am not a knight, I would take her whichever she is, whether people approved of it or not, now keep your mouth shut,"
'I thought Alexander said that his wife is a businesswoman," Zayn said to Sapphire who was still packing up her stuff.
'You are a businessman too, is business the only thing you know how to do?" She asked and he thought about it for a while before nodding.
'Yes, business is the only thing I know how to do,"
'That is either because you are obsessed or dumb," She stated simply.
She had finished the floor that was stained with blood, he moved to Alexander who was already asleep and tapped him on the shoulder.
'Let's go to your room," She said and he nodded, Zayn tried to follow them but Alexander glared at him.
'You stay here or go and sleep in the guestroom, you know where it is, don't play the shadow," He told him curtly.
'That is the Alexander I know, see you tomorrow," He said, waving his hand.
Sapphire led Alexander through the long stairs and they ended up in his bedroom, she closed the door behind her and walked him to his bed.
'Do you want me to remove your shirt? Are you comfortable in it?" She asked and he smiled.
'Do you want to see me half naked that badly?" He teased and she rolled her eyes at him.
'I pray that you never get shot again, you would be embarrassed when you regain your sense,"
'I would never be embarrassed about anything that has to do with you,"
'Xander, sleep. It is almost three in the morning you have to rest,"
'Don't you want me to tell you how I got shot?"
'Nope, not now. I trust that you would tell me later but for now, go to sleep,"
'Okay, I will but only because you asked,"
'Yeah, now sleep, you are drowsy already,"
'Sleep with me," He said drowsily and Sapphire felt her eyes widen in shock, she quickly moved a bit away from him like he burnt her.
'Huh?"
'I want to feel your presence in the room," He told her and used her hand to pull her to himself, she loses her balance and fell on him, her body on top of his and her head on his chest, he groaned because of the sudden pain he felt in his shoulder that was wounded.
'You are hurting yourself,"
'I would hurt myself in a more severe way if it means you would be with me, it would be worth it because you are worth it Sapphire," He said, the drugs were already kicking in. He closed his eyes and gave in to sleep while Sapphire kept staring at the man, wondering why on earth he adores her as much as he does.
