The kiss slowly ended without us knowing who broke off, Allison turned away shyly. I grinned, my palm finding hers and caressing it.
“Um..I should go make dinner,” she said, giving me a look, her face totally flushed. She stood up.
“Er..okay. I’ll join you then” I added and stood up with her.
I felt the urge to just spill everything to her but the consequences didn’t seem like something I could damn. I’d be endangering myself too and Allison’s reaction; I dreaded it even without seeing it.
I should probably take things slowly, when she maybe gets over this one, I’ll tell her the other.
I don’t think rushing things is okay and besides, I just confessed my feelings to her even without thinking properly about it. Well, it wouldn’t make a difference whenever I’d have decided to do it.
She seem to understand my reason for killing the old man but would she when I tell her about others? including my mission to kill her as well and that I worked for Gavin? Her most hateful person in the world? I shuddered the thoughts aside and walked to meet Allison in the kitchen.
.
That night we had a massive dinner, it was like we were celebrating the kiss or something but Allison insisted we made lots of food and I’d say that was the best dinner preparation time I’ve ever had.
After dinner, we watched a movie. Since I had no player, I searched up movies on the internet and used the projector to watch it with the lights turned off. I could tell Allison was trying to brighten me up, probably because I told her that sad tale of my life and she might’ve thought I was sulking over the revelation. It worked, mostly because she was right there.
I wasn’t a movie person and most especially not a fan of one filled with love and those lovey-dovey stuffs but Allison seemed to like it a lot and even though I was right there, she didn’t miss to skip giving spoilers about some scenes and to me, it felt really refreshing watching her laugh as she spoiled the movie for me and I just kept grinning as I watched her.
She was already sleepy by the time the movie ended and as we both started to retire to our rooms, she tiptoed and gave me a peck before smiling mischievously.
“Goodnight” she waved tiredly and walked away. I stared until she was out of sight and retired to my bed after the very long lovely night.
*****
The next morning after waking up and doing the usual bathroom stuff, I changed from my night wear and walked out to begin breakfast preparation.
“Good morning” Allison walked in as I began taking out the bacon.
“Morning,” I paused, studying her. “You have bags under your eyes, did you not sleep?”
“I did but just not well enough,” she said. “I couldn’t sleep, I was doing a lot of thinking and making up theories last night and it kept me awake” she said, pushing her hair aside and wetting her dry lips with her tongue.
“Thinking about what?” I asked, turning the cooker off and looking at her.
“About what you told me yesterday, I mean about how you lost your parent, some part didn’t seem to rhyme up to the whole story to me” she said. “I wanted to tell you early this morning but I figured you might be asleep so I didn’t”
“Okay.. what’s wrong?”
“That part about you shooting your dad. You said it was a pistol but it made no sound when you pulled the trigger, right?”
“Yeah?”
“But when I think about it and with the brief research I made, pistols are supposed to make that loud bang sound when being fired,” she said. “Well, except it had a silencer, of course”
“No, it didn’t have a silencer. It couldn’t have; I’m very sure about it” I said, crossing my hand.
“Well, that settles it then”
“What’re you trying to say, Allison?” I asked.
She wet her lips again and walked closer to me.
“I don’t think you killed your father, Jonas” she said and my face suddenly went blank and expressionless.
“What?” I frowned.
“Someone else might’ve shot him before you could,” she said. “Probably you weren’t looking or something but I think whoever it was that did it used a silencer, which explains why it made no sound!” She said.
“B-but how?”
“Look I know it kind of makes no sense but think about it and that guy that suddenly showed up? Doesn’t it seem kind of odd and suspicious?” She persisted.
“I-it does” I stammered, realisation hitting me hard.
“You see? You think someone else might’ve done it, too, right?” She asked and I nodded slightly, “you have anyone in mind?” She asked, staring at me. I gave her a brief look and dart it aside.
“Would you watch the bacons for me? I need to go check something in my room” I said
“What is it, Jonas?”
“Watch the bacons, I’ll be back” I said and without waiting for a response, I walked out of the kitchen.
Taking off the apron as I walked, I threw it aside and walked to my room. I grabbed my phone on the nightstand and went through my call list, I clicked on the one I wanted and placed the phone on my ear and in no time it connected and it began ringing.
He answered.
His happy giggle came first then his voice.
“Oohhhhh..look who remembered me finally-
“Text me your address, I’m coming over in about two hours” I said stiffly.
“Um okay.. but you sound kind of unusual and cold. Is something wrong, son?” He asked.
“You’ll find out soon” I said and hung up.
