Wifey refused to back down and a protective instinct kicked in refusing to give an inch despite the fact Carlo was trying to intimidate physically and aggressively pushing the coffee at her. Backing down was not an option, she cared for Xia more than most probably thought and likely did not think she would stick about. [i][color=f6989d]"Coffee, milk one sugar please. I'm too tired to argue over coffee."[/color][/i] Marlin despite her light sleep and small yawn. It was very late and she had probably been up on and off getting on for 16 hours straight and not a calm late evening. She was not leaving till Xia woke up, she would not leave her like this. Fuck no. Once they both returned, Marinalia rubbed her forehead and downed two paracetamol to blunt the growing headache that was making her feel like the close to a day without any deep sleep. [i][color=f6989d]"Help, thanks. I was... Attacked badly when I was younger. You better expect Xia could be shaken up badly. She might not be Xia you remember for a while"[/color][/i] Not revealing her scar but being honest with Carlo, Xia might not be badly affected, she might be a complete mess, it be seen when she woke up and was off the major pain killers. [i][color=f6989d]"Not sure, all i can say is it makes no sense... They left her phone, took her bag of clothes that hardly high resale. Even I know stolen shit sells for a fraction, and a fraction of low is worthless. No cast solid proof you can take to a judge. Just a bad feeling, things not quite right. We were staying at mine this week. I really was worried. I voted her over as my home has more security, cameras, gates and sensors the works. It was her to tell. I was not going to break her trust. This has... Forced it. Fates a... Fate must hate me... We were going to talk about exactly this. I won't her healthy and bastard punished much as you do..."[/color][/i] Marlin was not in a mood to give an inch but she also realised he was least meaning it, he wanted to help, better try to be civil if she stuck with Xia, Carlo was about too. [i][color=f6989d]"Il keep you in the loop before her phone gave in, I'll try to have it fixed. last thing was the Uber and a message to me. Got my lawyer checking things too, just making sure there's no problems. Xia not be in a state to answer questions for a while don't even dare."[/color][/i] Adding a steely tone to the end of her sentence, she really meant it, Xia's mum asked her to look after her. She was not reneging that promise. Her emotions currently running raw and at the very surface soon took a rapid change feeling a squeeze on her hand and hearing her weak but very familiar voice, crying at the fact she woke up and returning a gentle pressure on her hand giving a kiss on the forehead. [i][color=f6989d]"I'm here baby. Hey. Stay. Still, you got pretty badly hurt. You in hospital honey. Carlo made it here and worried about you, you safe now. Just lie back."[/color][/i] Trying to keep her from moving too much so not make self worse carefully as possible, with her voice making her concerns and worries completely clear. Shaking, worried but also relieved she had woke up. Marlin was scared deep down she might not have. [i][color=f6989d]"Your mum asked me to look after you, and I mean to keep it"[/color][/i]. Catching Carlos glance, he had not really seen them together much it major details or events, though she was beyond caring what he thought or about how public her display of affection was between extreme emotions and sheer tiredness not giving many fucks. [i][color=f6989d]"umm... Yes, we might be a little closer than you realised if your eye brows up near the roof are saying anything."[/color][/i] Joking weakly in a small way to try and soften things.
