When u needed me (GXG)
Chapter-26 September 14th

Faithlynn's POV

I have been sitting in the citizenship and immigrants bureau, apparently I had a biometric appointment.

I have submitted all the documents; marriage documents, fingerprint, iris scan, pupil scan,and what not. But still they won't let me go and I have to pick Reagan up from the hospital, well I have few hours till her discharge.

"How long will it take?" I asked the receptionist.

"Few more minutes your documents are in process and we need some signatures so you have to wait." She said apologetically.

I was startled by my phone ringing in my purse.

"Hey! What's up?" I asked Amelia.

"Hello!...how are you? How's Reagan doing?"

"Well I'm going to pick her up from the hospital afterwards, she's doing fine".

"Okay." She sigh.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Umm... I was wondering if we could have lunch together at my place, I really wanted to talk to you about something". She rushed.

I chuckled "calm down, Amelia what are you saying, I can't understand."

"Can we have lunch?" She asked slowly.

"I don't know, I'm stuck somewhere". I don't want to tell her about the citizenship thing.

"Stuck where? I can help?". She offered.

"No, no it's fine, we can have lunch." I rushed, shit.

"Okay, I'll pick you up, text me the address."

"Wait, I'm a little bit busy, so I won't be able to make it to the lunch." I told her.

"Well, then dinner it is, I'll pick you up, text me the address." She said and hang up before I can say something.

"Mrs. Faithlynn O'Connor?" The receptionist called out.

"Your biometrics are making some issues, so we need you to fill this form again and go in for your fingerprints and iris scan, again and this time we had to do the palm measurements too." She said with a smile, while I groan, it's taking so long.

After few hours I'm off with another appointment, it's a lot of work, I thought with a growl. I already texted Amelia the time and an address for a coffee shop to pick me up. Because I can't really explain her what I was doing at citizenship and immigrants bureau. And then my phone died.

I was sitting outside the cafe, when out of nowhere Amelia sat infront of me, taking off her sunglasses. "Shall we?" She asked offering me her hand.

"Yeah, sure."

We drove off to her place where she already had prepared the dinner for us, it was good and a friendly dinner, nothing much.

We sat on the couch drinking wine when she cleared her throat, shifted towards me and took my hand in hers. "You know Faithlynn, after all this time I came back only for you. I knew that I made a mistake by leaving you all alone here, so I came back for you, in hopes that you still loved me." She took a deep breath.

"But now seeing you, with Reagan, I know i have lost you for ever, I can't get my first love back, and I know I should move on. But its really hard, you know, you were my first love." She chuckled and wiped her tears.

"So I wanted to meet you and tell you that I still love you and I also know that you don't love me anymore, and I deserve that. So, I'm going back tomorrow, maybe we could still be friends like before." She said and now we both were crying.

She was my first love too, but now I love Reagan, and she is all I want and no one else.

"I think you are right, you should move on and I know you will find your true love again, I know you will." I told her kissing her cheek,she hugged me.

Then abruptly I stood up and looked at the wall clock in her living room, it's past midnight. Oh no! Reagan.

"I-I need to go, I had to pick Reagan up"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I forgot about Reagan, let me drop you." We then rushed to the door and into her car. And drove off to the hospital.

Reagan wasn't at the hospital so we drove off to home. And there she was sitting at the steps of the main door, hugging herself with both of her arms, shivering. It's not even that cold, but maybe she is cold. As the headlights hit her face, I could see she's barely awake. When I get to her she tried standing but fall back on her butt groaning.

"Hey! You okay?" I asked concerned. She nodded.

"Let's get you inside." She tried standing up but failed and took a deep breath, and tried again. I helped her up and lead her to the living room.

Someone clears their throat and it was Amelia. Standing at the doorway "I should get going." She said.

"Thank you so much for the help and dinner." I said hugging her.

"Well, pleasure is all mine, see you around." She said with a smile and kissed my forehead before leaving.

Reagan was laying on the couch, sighning, I touched her forehead and it was heating up.

"Reagan wake up, let's get you to bed." I said shaking her slightly.

She opened her eyes a little and asked for a glass of water.

"You go, I'll stay here." She said nonchalantly.

"No, you have fever and your wonds, you need to rest." She chuckled.

"Now you think about me? You know for how long I've been sitting outside the house?". She asked weakly.

"No? Right how'd you know? Because you were having dinner with your so called ex who might still have feelings for you." She said standing up and stumbling towards the stairs.

"Reagan this is not the time to act jealous." I said grabbing her by waist before she fall.

Here comes another humourless laugh." I'm jealous? No sweetheart you are just inconsiderate, who doesn't care about their wife; who is supposed to be resting in bed not sitting outside the house for hours starving and thirsty and also in pain."

Finally we get her to bed "Do you want something?" I asked caressing her cheek.

"No." She breathed out.

"I'll prepare a hot bath for you, before you eat something, I'm so sorry." She waved me off.

"Come on bath is ready." She stumbled over to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" She asked when I grab the hem of her shirt to pull it above her head.

"Helping you get undressed." I said with a smile. While she frowned.

"I can do that by my self, you have helped enough." She said pushing my hands away and struggling to get out of the shirt.

I made her sit on the edge of the tub and unstrap her sling slowly not to hurt her. Then slowly I pulled her shirt over her head, she looked around avoiding my eyes. And cleared her throat "Thanks I can take it from here." She said nervously.

"Let me help."

"No I'm fine."

......

We were laying in bed after Reagan had bath and eaten. She look okay now. Not that weak. She kept on staring at the ceiling without saying a word. I wonder what's going on in that head of hers.

"What are you thinking?" I asked in a Whisper. She turned her head to look at me, and just kept staring for a while.

"Nothing."

"Talk to me." I pleaded.

"I'm tired." She said with a sigh.

"Reagan I'm so sorry for not getting you from the hospital." I said touching her hand that's resting on her stomach.

"You think I'm mad because you didn't pick me up from the hospital?" She asked. I nodded.

"You had dinner with Amelia?" She asked looking straight into my eyes. I nodded.

"You could have just told me you had plans, so I would have asked you for the keys and didn't expected you to show up." She said turning her face to the other side.

"It was a last moment thing, we didn't planned it beforehand." I said lifting her face towards me.

"Whatever that was. All I'm saying is, you prioritize her than me, she's you priority! Right?"

"You know what? Sulk here all you want. But let me tell you this; we had a good and friendly dinner over her place. And she told me she love me, and that she wants me to be happy not like you who always just criticise me and get to the conclusion without even listening to an explanation.". I said and flip my body to other side. And then there was silence.

How can she just judge me wrongly all the damn time. She didn't even give me a chance to explain. Does she really think I would prioritize someone else over her, for goodness sake she's my wife now, no one matters more than her to me.

"What did you say?" She asked lowly. I ignored her.

"Faithlynn, what did you tell her in return?" She asked shaking me a little.

"What?" I asked agitated.

"What did you tell her when she told you she love you?" She asked bitting the inside of her cheek.

"What do you think?" I asked harshly. She just looked at me. As if reading me.

"Please tell me what did you say?" She asked taking my hands in her, calming my anger down a bit.

"She told me that she's happy that I have you and that she'll try to move on." I tell her the whole conversation. But guess what she really want to here?

"What did you say when she told you she love you?" She repeated her question like a broken record, I sigh.

"Why do you care, just assume whatever you want." I'm not going to give her the answer just yet.

"Come on Faith, tell me." She demanded getting closer to my side flinching.

"Don't move, idiot, you are hurt."

"No! You tell me first what you told her?" God she's so stubborn.

"I'll tell you on one condition." I said smirking.

"What condition?"

"You have to sleep on my side of the bed because I can't snuggle up to your this side." I said wiggling my eyebrows. She hesitated but agreed.

"Fine, just tell me." She groaned.

"Well, I told her that I don't love her anymore and that she should try and move on, also I told her that she'll find her true love like I did." I told her and snuggle up to her, drapping my legs on hers.

"You found your true love?." She asked, I blushed and nodded.

"And it's not Amelia?" She confirmed. I nodded again. While she grinned big.

"So, who is that true love of yours?" She asked looking at me lovingly, putting a strand of hair behind my ear.

" It's an alien, you are not mad now?" I try to dodge the question. She laughed.

"Don't be smart, look at you blushing profusely thinking about your alien love". She said still laughing while I try to hide my face in the crook of her neck.

"I bet your Alien love is watching you through a telescope and planning to attack me with their spaceship." She said between laugh.

I kissed her neck and bit it but she didn't stop laughing. So I bit her neck again and sucked on it, and instantly she stopped laughing, while her hand played with my hair caressing my scalp with her fingertips. I looked at her and smiled she smiled back. I kissed her lips, it was just a peck but she pulled my head back in to the kiss and start kissing me passionately as I did the same, my hand caress her cheek and stayed at her neck.

We pulled away breathing deeply to get some oxygen inside our lungs, if it wasn't for her injuries I would have jumped on her right now.

"Are you okay, you look flushed." She asked amused. While I glare at her.

"Please tell your Alien love not to shoot me with laser gun." She chuckled.

"Staaaaaap." I growled pinching her nose.

"Okay, okay, my nose."
