UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 171 – 180
” And Freddie ? He stopped calling or texting. What did you tell him , Jamal ?” I ask and aim. I look briefly at him before looking back at the chart.
I take a deep breath and squeeze the trigger. Yes! It was a perfect shot.
” I said I was gonna kill him.”
” What !” I turn to look at him.” You were joking right? You wouldn’t kill Freddie.”
” Yeah. But if he tried to come after you ever again , I’ll. For fuck’s sake Ariel , he fuckin took advantage of you. I overlooked it because of you. I didn’t want you to feel bad.”
” What else did you tell him?”
Gray sighs and rub his temple.” That i was gonna tell Manny to fuck his mom.”
” First, stop swearing.”
He chuckles and bites his lips.” Second , that was crazy. You were gonna tell Manny to take advantage of his ma. That’s like inhumane.”
” Fuck no way. I would never do that. She always likes to look young and pretty. She likes younger guys sometimes. It was gonna make it look like a date. She’s always gonna fall.” He scoffs.
God. He’s unbelievable.
Why would he think of such plans?
That’s like suicide.
I can’t even imagine Gray pulling a trigger on Freddie. I’m not sure I can withstand that.
I shake my head sideways and drop the gun on the table.
This is devastating.
Gray sighs and walks to me. I roll my eyes and glare at him. He smirks and pulls me to himself for a hug.
” Breathe, Tinkerbell. I am looking out for you. You’re my priority and no one’s gonna hurt you. I won’t let that happen. Not for anything okay. I love you so much.” He mutters against my hair as he hugs me.
I sigh and wrap my arms around his torso. I bury my face against his chest and breathe in his cologne. How can someone smell this good.
” Thanks Gray. Freddie is an ass , yes. But sometimes I can’t watch him get hurt. Despite everything that happened , I still can’t forget the other Freddie. The one who looked out for me. Please don’t hurt him. Even he tries to talk to me again , please don’t ever hurt him , I’m begging you Gray.”
Gray sighs deeply , totally hopeless. He hugs me tighter and kisses my temple.
” Okay.” He answers.” Can I torture him a bit?”
I chuckle and pinch his waist.” Please don’t.” I smile, looking up at him. He shrugs and nods.
He brings his face down and kisses me. It was short , quick but passionate. Just one man stole my heart , stole my breath and always have a way of making my toes curl.
” Let’s go back to class. Shall we?” He asks and tilts his head to the side. I giggle and nod.
” Yes boss.” I stand on my toe and peck his lips.
” If you keep on doing that , I’ll have to postpone lessons and bend you over that table.” He warns cheekily with a smirk.
I smile and roll my eyes.
” I’m gonna go back to class.” I wink and pick up the gun.
I take a deep and look up at the charts. They almost look worn out.
” Now shoot baby.”
UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 171 – 180
” So you’re his best buddy?” Alexa asks Reid.
” And you’re.”
” Alexa. Your new tormentor.” She answers. I climb down the stairs with Gray.
The living room looks busy. Lots of men with black jackets and black dress shirts. Most of them talk amongst themselves with cigarettes on their lips. They look busy. Like they are drawing out a map. Alexa was talking to Reid when we walked in. Manny walks in with Nick as these men stop working.
” Alexa.” Gray says.
” Hi , Mr Carter. This is really weird despite the fact that we’ve met before.” She takes a deep breath and smiles.
Gray smiles warmly at her and nod. His whole demeanor always changes each time he’s around employees. Not that cheeky , flirty, boyfriend. But cold , intimidating and serious. I like both I think. I tuck my hair behind my ear and stand next to Manny.
” Your cousin huh ?” Manny whispers to me.
” Yes. A crazy one.” I whisper back.
” How crazy. On the scale of one to ten.” Manny whispers with his hands tuck in his pockets. He’s one of the few ones with no tattoos.
” Ten.”
” fuck.” He exclaims. Gray turns to look at us. I smile and zip my mouth as I give Manny the invisible key. Manny pretends to take it and playfully glares at me.
