My Arranged Marriage to John O'Callaghan

Having a moment!

“Hey...” A masculine voice said and Emily looked to the door and blushed.
“Hi…?” Emily said confused looking at the very…Extremely handsome man with straight raven black hair and green hazel eyes.
“How are you feeling?” He asked walking towards her, she noticed how great this guy looked in his paramedic outfit, he was very muscular and his biceps we perfectly outlined in his navy blue shirt, she quickly looked away.
“Ugh… As good as I expect I suppose” She mumbled, rubbing the back of her neck.
“Oh, I’m Octavian by the way” He smiled which made his dimples stand out and Emily’s mouth took an ‘0’ shape.
“Oh! You’re the one who rescued me! I’m Emily” She smiled appreciatively.
“Yea…Good thing it was me who found you” Octavian said and Emily nodded thinking of all the sick people who could’ve found her.
“I am so thankful…Thank you so much!” Emily said with gratitude, Octavian smiled and queue dimples.
“It’s no problem…Here I think this belongs to you” Octavian looked at her in her eyes and she flushed again at the intensity of it she quickly averted her gaze to his extended hand which held her phone; she furrowed her brows and grabbed it.
“Thank you…? How did you find it?” She asked and he chuckled.
“Switchfoot is an amazing band…” He looked and she felt heat flood her cheeks again…geez what was wrong with her today!
“Your fiancé called and I told him what happened he was frantic on the phone.” Octavian said and she had a shocked expression.
“John?” She asked and he nodded making her heart again somersault… John was frantic? She was sure she had a goofy expression on her face right now.
“Yup…” Octavian and chuckled at her expression.
“Emily…I noticed bruising on your neck… It wasn’t him was it?”
“Oh god no! John would never hurt me like that; I was attacked on the night before.” She said quickly, she didn’t want Octavian to think John was violent.
“Alright well this is for you…” He said putting down a beautiful yellow flower, he smiled 100 watts smile again before leaving, Emily watched his retreating figure while running her fingers on the soft petals she smiled… What a kind man she thought.
Emily soon fell asleep again and as she woke up she felt something warm on her hand, moving her head to the side, she found John asleep on the uncomfortable looking chair by her bed side. The warmth on her hand was John’s hand holding hers tightly in his, her heart swelled. Emily wondered how long he had been there because as she looked outside she saw that it was almost night time, she squeezed his hand gently, his eye lids fluttered open and revealed wonderful breath taking green orbs.
“Millie…?” He whispered and she smiled.
“Hey John” She whispered back, his eyes widen and next thing Emily knew she was in engulfed in a tight hug, his muscular yet lanky arms were wrapped around her figure which encased her and comforted like nothing else and as she hugged him back she felt like she was in a safe cocoon a cocoon In which she hoped to never break free. His masculine scent swirled and she buried her face in his neck, which made him tighten his embrace.
“God you scared me Millie, Never ever…Ever leave without telling me, leave a note or something but please for my sanity-” John rambled but stopped when Emily kissed his cheek.
“I’m sorry…” She whispered back to him.
“Well that cuts short the whole lecture I had composed in my head.” He grinned down at her. Emily leaned her head on his chest and heard the steady beating of his heart, Emily realised how much she was falling for John now, because even the sound of his beating heart relaxed her.
“How long have you been here?” She asked him and he exhaled loudly.
“3 hours…” He mumbled and she moved back and looked at him wide eyed.
“Oh you should’ve woken me up” She said feeling guilty of having kept him here so long.
“I wanted you to rest” He said while cupping her face.
“You can be such a sweetheart, you know.” She smiled at him mischievously.
“Only to you” He smirked and she rolled her eyes playfully.
“Flirt” she pushed his shoulder making him laugh.
“You love it” He said playfully and Emily could only think, yes…Yes I do…
“Are you going home soon, it’s getting pretty late…?” Emily asked though she wanted him to stay.
“Nah I’ll stay…” He smiled down and Emily beamed,
“Really?”
“Really” He kissed her forehead.
“Even though it’s a very uncomfortable chair you have to sleep on?”
“Even that”
“Well Mr O’Callaghan, I think I can be nice and allow you to sleep on an also uncomfortable mattress” Emily grinned, while scooting closer to the edge making enough space for John. He looked at her amused for a while before taking his shoes of and lying next to her on the mattress, considering it was a pretty small bed they were both very close so John wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Emily found breathing increasingly difficult and to make matters worse her heart started beating quickly making the machine that measured her heart rate to beep faster, Emily went bright red and thanked the Lord that the room was fairly dark. John chuckled,
“Relax” he said, his breath fanning her forehead, she sighed. Emily rubbed her eyes as sleep started taking over again, she guessed she slept so much because of all the blood she had lacked had taken a toll on her body.
“Goodnight John” She murmured sleepily.
“Goodnight Millie” He whispered back, John watched as Emily fell asleep, she looked so pale and vulnerable that John just wanted to hold her forever. The thought made him confused did he like her like that? John caught his breath as Emily unconsciously snuggled closer to him. He glanced down at her and brushed a piece of dark curly hair away from her face as he took in her features, he found his eyes looking down at her plump pink lips and his heart started beating a bit faster. John closed his eyes so he wouldn’t do anything, one thing he was now sure of was that he cared for Emily immensely and another thing he knew with certainty was that he was very attracted to Emily Marie Lovisa.
