UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 121 – 130
I wake up to an empty bed the following morning. I rub my eyes and blink them. The bustling and rustling of the busy city below us can be heard. I mean this is New York , what am I supposed to expect.
I push the blanket aside and sit up on the bed with my feet not even close to the floor. I sigh and walk to the floor to ceiling glass walls that view the city. I itch my eyelids and push the white drapes aside. I look down at the city below the penthouse and they look tiny.
I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and yesterday’s incident flows into my head. Gangsters. Gangsters who wants him dead and also they want me as bait to get whatever thing they need from Gray. I don’t even blame them that much. What ever shitty business Gray did , I’m sure he hurt a lot of people. And this stupid shooting stunt isn’t ending any time soon. I drop the toothbrush and stare at my reflection. I look a bit weird because of last night’s stunt. I walk out of the bathroom and wonder where Gray is. I look around the living room and the sight of smoke almost made me panic. Faint music plays in the living room and there’s smoke coming from the kitchen.
” Jesus..” I cough. Gray just burnt an entire breakfast.
” What are you doing ?” I ask him and cough slightly.
He pouts and shrugs. I chuckle and look around the kitchen. He was trying to cook and obviously , he burnt the kitchen.
” What did you do ?” I ask and pick up the spatula to point at him.
He chuckles. Thank God the smoke is almost out.
” You were sleeping and I wanted to be a good boyfriend , so i thought I should prepare you something. I’m sorry , it’s stupid , I burnt it.” He shrugs and run his fingers through his hair.
I throw my head back and laugh. Now he’s amused cause I just laughed at him.
” Jesus , Jamal.”
He rolls his eyes and watch me carefully.
” You look pretty when you laugh at me.” He says dryly.
I roll my eyes and help him clean the table.
” I should be at school today. Today is Monday.”
” You’re skipping class.”
I raise my head to look at him. He winks at me above the rim of his glass as he drinks the water. I sigh and bite my tongue.
” What about work ?”
” Same thing.”
” Gray , really. I won’t go to school today and i won’t go to work. What am I supposed to tell Theo.”
” That your boyfriend , Gray Carter ask you to skip work today because he wants to have an alone time with his girlfriend. He doesn’t have a choice.”
I sigh and drop the napkin.” But that’s not fair. It’s like you’re intimidating him.”
” That’s exactly what I’m doing. He’s a dick.” He scoffs and drops the glass on the counter.
” I’m gonna think about it. I can’t stay at home all day with you.”
” I’m not hot enough ?” He leans his elbows on the counter and watch me with his seductive smirk.
I chuckle and bite my bottom lip.” You’re such a jerk. I didn’t say that.”
” Then what are you saying ?” He asks softly as he made his way to my side of the counter.
” Yes , Tinkerbell.” He whispers in my ears and wraps his hands around my waist. I breathe into the new feeling and blush.
The closeness of our body makes my body want him so badly. I lean against his chest as he kisses my neck. Now i forgot I’m supposed to be asking about his arm.
” How’s your arm ?” I ask.
” Better than ever.” He answers against the skin of my neck.
I turn around to inspect his wound and he presses me against the counter so I can’t escape.
