As we move into Luciano's POV, keep in mind, we will more than likely skip some of the hopsital scenes, after all Mina had to sleep at some point, right? The tables are starting to shift, he will have a lot to tell Mina, about the truth, who he is, and what is going on. Oh and Tommy? Mina discovers more than she should have.
-Luciano's POV- The call wasn’t her, instead it was Corey, “hey Mina told me to call you and tell you that your buddy Marco is here looking for you.” I ran out the office, “Tony, Eno, we need to get to the bar, right fucking now. Corey, do not let her be alone with him.” A few seconds of silence passed, “Corey!?” He finally responded, “they’re gone. I’ll see if they are outside.” We got in the car and were already on the way when he said he saw them in the alley and he had a gun. If he fucking hurts her, “we will be there soon, do not let him leave with her, and do not call the cops, we will explain when we get there.” What is normally a 20-30 minute drive was made in 15 minutes. “Boss, we have to stop him.” Tony looked at me as we got out of the car. I ignored him, walking into the alley, gun already pulled. “Corey, go talk to Eno and Tony, tell them I said explain. They will.” He stood there, eyes wide, “he hit her, and I just stood here-” I cut him off before he could spiral. “C
-Mina- Days have gone by and it was time, finally. I didn’t have anything to take home, unless you count the countless little bears Tony and Corey brought every time they visited, Luciano only brought flowers, which he constantly changed, except today. They just went in the trash and he grabbed the bag of teddy’s, “you ready?” I nodded, a little nervous but hoping to hide it best I could. “As ready as I can be, life must go on.” The doctor walked in, big smile, nurses in tow, “Mina Mendoza, It has been a long 2 weeks, roughly. I am happy to see you go, Mr. Gambino has your discharge instructions in case you forget or have any questions, and we shall see you next month for a check up.”I nodded, smiling back, “thank you all so much.” Luciano and I followed the doctors out of the room, “let’s get you home Mina.” Luciano switched the bag to his other hand, holding his now free arm up, “shall we?” I smiled, looping my arm into his, “we shall.” We took the elevator down, we walked throug
-Mina- Corey had left, Tony went to do whatever it is Tony does, and Luciano, he never left my side. I eventually fell asleep, dreaming about that night again, the man questioning me, the shooting, the pain. When I woke up it was the next day, the day of surgery. Luciano was still sitting there, “good morning, it’s a big day. How are you feeling?” I smiled, “I’m feeling good, ready to get this over with.” He smiled back, he stood, walking to the end of the hospital bed, “I got you these.” He picked up a vase of flowers, beautiful blue and purple flowers. “Why would you do that?” I couldn’t help smiling, watching as he brought them to the table beside me. “You’re in here because of me.” He sat down, squeezing my hand. I looked at him, then to my hand. I could feel it this morning. Is this a good thing? “Can I ask you something Luciano?” He nodded, “what’s up?” I looked down at our hands, still tangled together, “why didn’t you just ‘move on with life’ instead of coming back to the b
-Mina- I could hear Luciano yelling, people running, but I couldn’t move, couldn’t open my eyes. Then I could feel something or someone rolling me, probably the doctors. “Mr. Gambino please allow us-” I could hear the anger in his voice, “Shit, sorry, get in here.” Everyone's voices were blending together, then I felt something cold. It was getting colder, then I heard a voice say, “that’s a lot of blood. Start the MTP, get all the blood available. Mina stayed with us, we got the blood coming.”I could feel them pressing on my chest, the sounds of the electric charge from the shock paddles, then I felt it. The shock that brought me back. “She is back! Prep the ICU, she will need checks starting every 15 minutes until we find the source of the bleeding. And lets try to keep her blood inside her, notify the blood bank to have plenty on stand-by.” I still couldn’t open my eyes, but I could hear them more clearly, feel everything a lot more, and then I felt it when they shoved another n
-Mina - Before I could open my eyes, I could hear a lot of voices, ones I didn’t recognize. I could hear the sounds of machines beeping, “we got a pulse finally.” I slowly opened my eyes, the lights were bright, then the pain settled. “Ow, ah,” I started screaming, “what the hell happened? It hurts so bad.” I could feel the tears running down the side of my face, I couldn’t move without pain. Then I heard a familiar voice, Tony. “Mina, you’re at the hospital, they got you, okay.” I opened my eyes, finding several doctors around me, moving frantically, then Tony. “Tony. What happened? Where is Lu-” Tony’s head dropped, “he is outside waiting, let them help you and we will talk, they are still looking for the guy.” He looked up, I couldn’t tell what his eyes said, but they weren’t the same eyes I’ve come to know as kind. The doctor walked into view, Ms. Mendoza, you were shot, the good thing is, it went straight through, missing all organs, but we had to keep you immobile until we k
-Mina (POV) It has been a few days since I last saw him, Luciano. I haven’t seen him since last Saturday, when he kissed me. I have seen Tony from time to time, but haven’t talked to him. The dreams kept coming, getting more intense each time. First it was just his kiss on my lips, him holding me tightly, but each time, it was more intimate. Why is he so mysterious, dark, and so damn hot at the same time? My thoughts raced as I got ready for my day, sliding on some jeans and an old tee, I headed to the door. I put on my shoes, grabbed my keys, wallet and phone, then left after loving on Spot. “Watch the house for me boy, I’ll see you tonight.” I took the same route as always, the same smelly alley. Once I was there, the night went by like it was another normal day and that’s what I needed most right now, normal. I hadn’t even looked up from the ground when I turned the corner, this walk was familiar enough. Opening the door of the bar to go in, I bumped right into someone. Still lo
