UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 121 – 130
I trace my fingers along the wound careful and he looks better. I mean he always looks better. He doesn’t even act like someone who got shot.
” This got me scared.” I murmur and trace my fingers on the bandage.
” Thank God you’re fine.” I breathe out and wrap my arms around his torso.
” So you care about me this much ?” He asks and furrows his brows.
” Shut up ! You know I will always care about you. You make me happy Gray.” I say and rest my head on his chest still holding his waist.
” You make me happy too.” He replies , barely above a whisper.
His right hand runs through my hair and he kisses my temple. I trace my fingers down his spine and he gently lift me off the ground and sit me on the counter.
” I’m going home today , Gray.”
” You know I won’t let you.” He says softly.
I chuckle and roll my eyes. ” I have to. I’ve stayed with you more than two weeks now. Don’t you think I should go back to the apartment.”
” What if someone comes after you and I’m not there to protect you ?”
I sigh and look up at his face.
” Gray , how long am i supposed to hide from all this drama. I’m serious , I’m tired of it. You don’t expect me to go around town being self cautious because of this stupid gangsters. I’m tired Gray. I don’t mean to sound selfish but I want my normal life back.” I sigh and hop out of the counter.
I set out the bowl and ingredients to make pancakes for Gray and i. He isn’t saying a word and I’m in need of a word from him. I want him to say something. If he’s not tired of this awkward situation whereby any minute from now, some men are just gonna barge into our privacy just to shoot at us. I swear , I’m already tired.
” Is Cage part of yesterday’s shoot out ?” I ask mixing the ingredients.
” You ain’t giving up , are you ?”
” Gray , if you want us to work out , you need to start telling me everything about you.”
” I thought you know almost everything about me.” He says sarcastically.
I huff and tap my finger on the countertop. He’s being annoying right now.
” Are you also a gangster ?”
He looks irritated and bored.
” I don’t wanna talk about it.”
So that’s it ? He doesn’t wanna talk about it. It’s no longer Vladimir now it’s Cage. A green eyed freak who’s also his rival. How did I get myself in this mess ? I wasn’t thinking obviously. Now I’m a bait to everyone. To everyone who thinks it’s smart to come after me just to get at Gray. I mix the items on the bowl and place the pan on the stove to start cooking.
After taking out the pancakes on two different plates. I swirl syrup over my pancakes and little on Gray’s. I carry both plates to the living room and drop them on the glass table close to the couch opposite the TV. Gray’s watching a football game with the volume low. I bet he’s not even concentrating on it. It’s obvious his mind has traveled to God knows where.
I ignore him completely and eat my breakfast in silence. He hasn’t touched his yet and seriously , I’m bothered. I look at him at the corner of my eyes and he looks deep in thoughts. I wanted to ask him if he’s okay and then i remembered I’m supposed to be angry at him. He owe me an explanation and also an apology for making my life complicated.
“So you’re not asking me if I’m eating or not , hmm ?” He asks and turns to look at me. Damn , that smirk. It literally makes my heart beat.
I look straight at the TV and bite the inside of my cheek to keep me from blushing.
” What happened to the syrup ? Mine is empty.”
” I thought you don’t like it.” I reply dryly , making sure I don’t make eye contact with him.
