REJOICE

HADES POV

Miracle

They say it was a miracle that Rose's heart has been restored. She came out of the mouth of death and I am very proud of her. After all she is my flower. She is strong, very strong.

When her heart stopped that day I thought I lost her. The thought still sends chill down my spine but the doctor rushed in, threw me out of the room and started giving her shocks. That was the last hope and you know what somehow it worked. It was dangerous but it worked.

Right now I am sitting next to mio fiore and this feels home. Being with her feels home. Her tiny palms are cold, very cold but I hope my warm hand can provide her some warmth. They say that a person in coma can listen to you, just can't respond.

So I do it each day, I read to her, talk to her, braid her hair and sleep in the same bed as her though I am told not to but who cares!

But that doesn't mean I neglect my work or myself. I look at both of them. At my work so that when she wakes up I can provide her with everything and at myself so when she wakes up she isn't disappointed seeing me.

I work from the hospital, my staff take cares of the meeting but if a meeting is very important and I have to be there then I just Skype it. Simple!

I looked at my lifeline as she laid peacefully on the bed in a blue gown. Typical hospital! She looked peaceful but I wanted her to open her doe brown eyes and look at me with the same warmth I have seen around three years ago now.

Three years, time passes by too quickly.

I looked down when I heard the ringer of my iPhone. James Carter, my bbf and somewhat business partner. Rose doesn't know about him as he became my friend after Rose was gone. I never liked having companion so I never had a friend. You see I was the social outcast but when Rose came everything changed. I wanted her, f*ck that I needed her.

I ringer brought me out of my day dream. I put my MacBook aside as I picked up the line as a sigh left my mouth. Even if I love him still he is tad bit annoying. Okay maybe not tad bit but completely annoying.

“F*cker...!", he exclaimed. Oh my bad, I forgot to mention he has a big potty mouth. Worst than mine.

“What do you want, James?", I came straight to the point.

“Not so lovely way of saying good morning.", he teased with a dramatic sigh. Such a pain in my a*s.

“What is it now Carter?", I hissed.

“Man you are so grumpy. You sure need to be laid. But getting back to the point, Ethan Jones is also competing for the same tenure.", James stated.

God that name itself leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I just hate that man.

“Don't worry I will look into it.", I stated. I can handle that matter that lousy piece of sh*t can't defeat me.

He muttered a quick okay and cut the line. I sighed and looked at my baby. She looked serene.

“Wake up, my love.", I pleaded. I need her at that moment. God, I miss her sweet voice so much.

I looked outside and saw the sun was setting soft hues of purple and orange were spread around the sun. They looked like cotton candy. Cotton candy, Rose loved them.

“Chocolate and ice cream can do magic to me."

Rose always used to say that but the truth was anything sweet could do that magic. She was such a sweet lover.

I still remember the first time I saw her. That interview that changed everything.

I sat on my chair completely frustrated why couldn't I just find a personal assistant who won't jump on me or won't be too scared. F*ck I was just looking for an efficient worker who would be dedicated to their work.

I toyed around my chair as I asked my outside stationed secretary to send in the next candidate. The last three had went out crying. I know I was a bit a ride but I couldn't help it. They were annoying.

The door creeped on as a tiny woman entered. I didn't look up. The way she walked and the way her feet screeched through the marble floor was enough to tell me she was scared.

“Go-od morning Si-ir.", I heard her soft voice. To soft as someone was pouring honey in my ears, so angelic. That voice it was different. Soft, pure and innocent.

I couldn't stop myself from looking up at her and this ladies and gentlemen was Hades Knight's biggest mistake.

Her eyes were down casted so I couldn't know her eye color. I so badly wanted to see her look up at me. Her clothes were modest. A bit untidy but she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. A grey pencil skirt and a white blouse but goddess she looked to beautiful on her. The skirt ended just above her knees giving me the full view of her legs. They we're milky not ever going. She wasn't like the chicks I have been with, tall, hot, sexy and bold. She was small, looked timid. She wasn't hot she was beautiful. The way her brown hair fell on her face making my hands etch to remove those strands so that I could see her beautiful face.

It was only when her feet tapped the floor silently I noticed she looked uncomfortable. It was only then I realise I was staring at her for to look.

“Sit.", I commanded as softly I could trying not to scare that timid rabbit. But my voice came out a bit rough. Maybe rough with what...need.

She muttered a soft thank you and a chill ran down my spine. In my life, never a girl had this effect on me.

Her eyes were still downcast. It irritated me. I wanted her to look in my blue eyes.

“Look up.", I stated softly and she raised her head. I bit down the gasp that was about to escape my mouth. Big doe chocolate brown eyes. So pretty!

Her eyes held nervousness and fear. Oh my baby this animal won't bite you till the time you don't let him bite. I softly asked for her name while looking in her melted chocolaty eyes.

“Rose.", she muttered softly.

Rose

This name suits her. Soft red cheeks looking so edible. Soft curve begging me to touch. Soft red lips begging me to taste. I wanted to try her name out loud so I did.

“Rose.", I stated softly. I liked the taste of her name on my lips.

“What is your full name?", I asked eager to know more about her.

She placed her papers in front of me as I went to collect them, our fingers brushed.

Sparks that is what I felt. My heart rate increased. Never a girl I have met had such an effect on me. A blush rose her soft pale cheeks. I smirked, good I even have an effect on her.

“Full name, darling.", I asked her again.

“It is just Rose, sir. I am an or-orphan.", she told me though she muttered the last part in a whisper. A look at her and I knew she was ashamed of it. But why? It is not her fault. I felt angry at the thought that someone left someone like her. Too bad for them.

“I see." , I muttered.

I opened her file and looked at her academic achievement. She had only completed her high school but her grades are commendable. But no University. I don't know how she managed to get in the interview. But I don't mind it, I am glad to see her. Then I looked at her experience. Worked as waitress in a cafe, Delicacy to be accurate. I have been to that place. It is decent. Nothing great.

I looked at her. Her posture was nervous. She was bitting her lower lips. I feared that it will start bleeding.

“Don't do that.", I couldn't stop myself from saying that. She looked confused.

“D-do what sir?", she asked utterly confused. How adorable! A small frown made its way to her forehead and she cheeks were flushed. I wanted to squish her cheeks but I reframed myself. Control Hades, control.

“Bitting your lower lip.", I stated in a matter of fact way. Her lips formed an ‘o' shape as she muttered a sorry.

“You are not qualified for this job.", I told her.

Her face dropped and her eyes were again downcast. Her shoulders slumped. Maybe she thought she won't get this job.

I heard her take a deep breath and I think she muttered, “You can do it."

“I kno-ow sir but I am in a dire need of a job otherwise I will be home...homeless.", she said the last part brokenly.

Homeless, I won't ever let that happen to this angel.

“Will you be able to manage the job of a personal assistant without any prior experience?", I asked her.

“I will learn it sir. I will fully dedicate myself to the job and won't complain. I assure you.", she said as determination was sparkling in her eyes. Other than that I saw sincerity. I know she will do it.

“Fine darling you have the job.", I told her. She looked up as she couldn't believe her ears, unshed tears were visible in her eyes. A glee lit in her eye.

“Thank you sir. I-I won't disappo-oint you.", she stammered. She stammers way to much but that's fine she sounds cuter like that.

“Now smile.", I told her.

She looked confused. But what, I wanted to see her smile. She hasn't smiled even once and I know her smile must be beautiful. I passed her a small smile and then people she passed me her beautiful smile. That sight was breathtaking. Just a halo and a pair of wings were missing otherwise she looked like an angel, my angel.

I felt some movement around myself. I was brought out of my day dreaming. Rose was moving but not in a good manner. Her body was trembling. I pressed the bell on the nightstand and shouted for the doctors.

“Rose, what is wrong baby?", I asked her though I was rewarded by her silence. Then I noticed blood was coming out of her nose.

Blood! But why?

Soon the door of the room was thrown open and doctors and nurses rushed in. I wanted to stay with mio fiore but I was thrown out of the room. I patiently waited outside.

Minutes turned into hours and then finally the doctor blessed me with his presence. I anxiously got up of my chair. I can't lose her not again not ever. She is my everything.

“What is wrong with her doctor?", I asked him.

“Their was some internal bleeding in the temporal lobe of her cerebral cortex but she is stable now. She is out of coma."

As soon as those words left the doctor's mouth I felt relieved. Way to relieved. My baby is going to wake up.

“When is she going to wake up?", I asked him impatiently. I so badly wanted her to see me with her doe eyes, talk to me and let me touch her. F*ck man I am too whipped but I don't care.

“She will wake up by tommorow morning. You can be with her.", the doctor stated. I didn't need to be told twice as I entered the room.

There was my angel sleeping due to sedition. My baby is scared of injection and needles if she should have known she was about to be given an injection she should have thrown a tantrum. I chuckled at that thought.

I dragged the chair near her bed. I didn't get up on the bed to sleep with her because I know she will be awake tomorrow and I don't know if she will be happy to see me in the bed. So I let that idea go. I looked at my watch to see it was 2 o'clock of night. I took one hand of Rose and pressed it between my two hands and I placed my head on the bed trying not to disturb her. I don't know when but soon sleep took over me.

I felt moment around myself. I felt someone taking out Rose's hand from between my hands. Who dare to do that?

I lifted my head to see a pair of doe brown eyes looking at me. I quickly got up from the chair. I felt like crying from happiness. I saw she was trying to say something but I knew her throat must be parched so I removed a glass of water from the coaster and placed it near her chapped lips. She greedily drank that water.

Next I pressed the bell on the nightstand so that the doctor could come.

Rose looked around utterly confused as she didn't know why was she there on the bed.

“How do you feel love?", I asked her softly as I caressed her cheek that now had some color.

Before she could answer the door was thrown open by the doctor and nurses. I turned my attention back to my baby.

“I am fi-ine, sir.", Rose answered.

Did she just call me sir?

What the actual f*ck!
