Christians POV

She looked so good I couldn't believe my eyes. It had taken me forever to finally track her down and I knew it was gonna take some groveling on my part to get her back but if that is what it took then I was ready to do so. I had missed her so much and I had already lost enough time away from her, thirteen months to be exact including the year I spent in coma. She must have gone through so much that whole year and I repaid her by breaking her heart. I should burn in hell for hurting her like that but I was ready to spend the rest of my life apologizing to her if she let me. Bringing Cia had been a last minute idea as a back up plan. Tracy had formed a really tight bond with her and she wouldn't turn her away and I had been right. Cia got me through the door now I had to get myself back into Tracy's heart.

"Excuse me while I go get dressed." she said as she walked away with Cia still in her arms.

It gave me some time to look around the place where the love of my life had been hiding out for a month. The penthouse was spacious and luxurious and wheelchair friendly which was a huge plus. I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water when I found a bloody wet towel on top of the kitchen counter. Tracy picked the perfect time to come back dresses in white shorts and a loose fitting off shoulder white top. She looked mouthwatering as always.

"What is this?" I asked holding up the bloody towel.

"None of your business ." she said grabbing the towel from me and tossing it in to the sink.

"Trace? Why is there a bloody towel in our kitchen." I asked again. She knew me well enough to know I wouldn't let this go until I got an answer and she was smart enough to figure it out.

"Okay fine an asshole ,sorry language, some twat decided it was nice to hit on me by snatching my phone away from me as I was reading a book on Wattpad so I punched him and hit him where the sun don't shine." She said proudly as she placed Cia securely onto one of the kitchen chairs.

"That's my girl."

"Not your girl."

"Not yet."

"Not ever."

I laughed to myself as I watched silently as Trace grabbed and apple and chopped it into small pieces, put them in a bowl and gave them to Cia.

"Have that for now sweetheart the food will be here soon." she told Cia kissing her hair.

"Thank you Acey."

"Am hungry too. " I whined playfully at her which earned me a glare that shut me right up.

After a few more minutes of awkward silence the food finally arrived and we filled our mouths with food to avoid talking. I had a lot to say I just didn't know how to start the conversation. I watched in silence as Tracy interacted with Cia. She listened carefully and chipped in where she could as my sister gave her stories about the past one month. Watching her interact with my sister made me realize just how stupid I had been to let go off her. I had just been so scared that she would come to resent me for making her put her life on hold that I failed to see that I was hurting us both by separating us.

****************************************

"Now that Cia is finally asleep I can finally insult you without holding back so ill start with what the actual fuck Christian." Trace shouted at me as soon as she came back from the guestroom.

"I know your ready to tear me a new one right now but can you help me get out of this wheelchair first my back is killing me." I requested because my back was literally on fire.

"Oh yeah right sorry." she said before getting in front of me and putting her arms under my arms and asked me to place my hands on her shoulders and she helped me stand.

She did it so professionally that I was in awe of her. I couldn't resist the urge that overcame me to hug her. She smelled so good of pineapples, such a good mouth watering scent.

"I've missed you so much my love." I felt her tighten my arms around me for a few seconds before she cleared her throat and pulled away a little.

She moved backwards before carefully helping me sit carefully in the seat and propped pillows on my back to ease the discomfort.

"Where are your meds?" she asked me

"Black backpack small pocket on the right."

She left for a few minutes before coming back with my medicines and handing them to me with a glass of water. I swallowed them down quickly.

"Still hate the taste of medicine?" she teased.

"With a passion" I replied shivering a little in disgust.

For as long as I could remember I had hated the taste of medicine and that wasn't gonna change now. Tracy sat on the opposite end of the couch and covered herself with a light blanket. I knew she wasn't cold it was just a defense mechanism. I just wish she knew that I wasn't here to hurt her. On the contrary I was here to make everything better.

"Are you comfortable enough?" she asked.

"Yeah am perfect thank you." and I meant each word.

" Am glad the classes I took could amount to something."

"You really did put your life on hold for me. I really don't deserve you Trace." I said and she looked at me like I had gone crazy.

"You know what Christian you are right. You don't deserve me but everything I did was my choice. I took those classes to be able to take care of you better. I took my career choice because I wanted to be able to help you walk again once you woke up. I all that because I lobed you Christian. You make sacrifices for the people you love because you know they are worth it." She said all that with so much passion and all I did was sit there and watch her in awe.

It hit me harder than it had in the past month that I had really broken the girl in front of me. She had given me her all heart body and soul and I had crushed in minutes. She deserved much better than me but I was selfish enough to know that I couldn't let her go. She was all mine and I would win her back and no one would stop me not even her.

"I know I messed up big time and I realized my mistake as soon as I realized you had left. I'm sorry it took so much time to find you. Your parents weren't saying anything, too mad at me for hurting you and Scola said you wouldn't tell her." I explained.

"Scola would have sold me out, I love that girl but she cant for the life of her keep a secret. Speaking of which how did you know where I was?." she asked eyes narrowed inquisitively at me.

"You remember the travel book we made for when we were to travel the world after the races." She nodded. " Well in there is a page where we had to write the one place where you'd consider it a perfect hide out away from reality and your was Brazil."

"How did you remember that? And besides the book was at my house."

"And now imagine me in a wheelchair sneaking into your house. Believe me it was not an easy thing but I would have done anything at that time to be here with you right now telling you just how sorry I am for hurting you and that I still love you will every fiber of my being and will love you forever." I confessed.

"You really hurt me bad Christian."

"I know baby I know and I would be on my knees right now begging you to forgive me and take me back but I cant but please give me another chance to prove just how much I really need you back in my life. The past one month has been hell without you. Do anything you want to me Trace just please be mine again." I plead.

All I wanted was for us to be good again. When she had opened the door and I saw her standing there in the most alluring bikini I was both aroused and angry. I was aroused because, come one its the most beautiful girl in the world wearing my favorite color looking like a goddess and I was angry because other men had seen her like that and she wasn't mine at the time and if any hot blooded male had half a brain the would see what I saw and take her away from me. This gem seated right in front of me looking so vulnerable was everything I needed to be complete.

"I brought you something." I said digging into my pocket and coming out with a ring box.

"Whoa whoa whoa there cowboy slow your rolls." Trace said holding out her arms.

Chuckling I opened the box to reveal a ring" Its not what you think. Its a promise ring and I wanted you to have it as a promise from me that I will never a stupid thing such as break your heart ever again. Its the most precious gift you can ever give me and If you give it back to me I promise to never ever break it." I promised and laid out the ring on the empty space between us and almost laughed at the relieved look on her face that it wasn't an engagement ring.

The ball was now in her court and it was up to her on where our relationship moved on from there. If she took it then shed make me the happiest man on earth but if she pushed it away then id let her go. Oh who am I kidding id probably nag her and follow her to the ends of the world until she took me back. My world without the light of my life was a pure endless void that only she could pull me from.

"If I take this ring right now it means you loose your manly ego that made you push me away in the first place. You have to keep your promises this time Christian because I don't think my heart can take it again if its broken." she requested.

"I promise to loose my ego. All I want is you right now so please pick up that ring and be mine again." I pleaded and my queen did exactly that.

Once again I was struck mute as she picked up the ring, slid it on her finger before launching herself at me and breaking down. I couldn't help myself but a few tears rolled down my cheeks too.

"I missed you so much. " She sobbed clutching at my heart.

"I missed you too baby so much you cant even fathom. Each day without you was hell and I don't want us to ever go a day apart again."

"You had better keep your word because if you break my heart again I promise to unleash my dad after you." she teased and we both laughed but the serious glint behind her eyes showed me that she was serious." And you never lost my heart it has always been yours."

We stared at each other for a few seconds before we couldn't hold back anymore and met in the middle where our lips crashed in a slow passionate kiss. There was time to rush afterwards but now it was time to enjoy each others presence. She tasted heavenly and even the heavens knew that I would never get enough of her taste. It had been so long since I had tasted this lips so much, I could literally feel the sparks on every part of my body and that is a feeling I embraced with my whole being. We both pulled away for air but our eyes never left each other.

"I love you so much." I expressed.

"I love you more." she replied.

" I love you most and I promise to spend forever showing just how much." I promised kissing the ring on her finger.

Trace smiled before cuddling into me." I wont argue with that."

THE END.
