UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 81 – 90

“Ariel you should sit.” He turns to look at me and reach for a cigarette and lighter. Surprisingly it’s cold and I’m a bit cold. Maybe because of fear.

He turns his back against me and watch the environment through the glass wall as he lights the cigarette. I curl up on the couch and it’s funny I’m just taking views of his bedroom. It’s like it’s own living room.

There’s an inbuilt swimming pool in his room. The walls are painted pure white. The couches are white too while his king size bed is located at the end.

Everything in here is like a living room. It has about three chairs and a table at another end. That sort of looks like a dining room.

He continues to puff out the smoke as he switches on the Tv. The tension between us is terrible and I’m uncomfortable. The TV lights up and the first thing to show up is a reporter reporting what happened today. The shooting and the one corpse.
“It was reported today that a set of gun men barged into Queens restaurant to shoot at Gray Carter. CEO and owner of popular summit enterprises.

According to an eye witness, they said the gunmen mainly wanted to shoot his anonymous date….” She continues to ramble as a picture of me and Gray sitting across each other in the restaurant emerged on TV. ” There was a shootout outbreak and a lady was found dead on the scene.

The police are investigating on the case on why a group of gun men would attack Gray Carter….”
“Bullshit.” Gray scoffs and turn off the TV.

He reach for his phone and dialed a number as he presses the phone against his ear. ” Manny , any cop cars pull over for questions. Don’t tell them shit.” He hangs up and toss his phone on the bed.
My ringing phone distracts me from my tension as I pick up.
“Alex..”

“Oh my God. How are you ? Are you okay ? What happened to you ? Are you safe ? It’s over the news that you guys were shot at ? Are you injured..”

” Holy Christ. Alex I’m fine. Nothing happened. I’m in his house.” I sigh and watch Gray smokes his cancer stick staring to nothing.
“Thank goodness. I was fuckin worried.”

“Thanks cousin, I’m fine.”
“Yeah , i trust Gray. He won’t let shit happened to you.”
I scoff and roll my eyes.
“Be careful okay. Call me if anything happens alright.”
“Yes , mother.”

“Good girl. Love you.”
I drop my phone back but it goes back to ringing. Great , Piper and Brandon obviously.
“Piper.”
“Holy fuck. Where the fuck are you ? Are you okay ? Where you shot ? It’s over the news and we’re worried. What happened to you ? What’s up with Gray….”
“Piper breathe.” I sigh and rub my temple.

“I’m fine okay. Nothing happened and I’m not injured..” I mumble as Gray turns to look at me above his shoulders.

“Oh thank goodness. We were worried. Who are these gun men ? How many are they ?” Brandon butt in from the background.

“Guys I’m fine okay. I need to call you guys back , alright.”
“Sure thing princess…” They breathe in and hang up.

I raise my head up only to meet Gray’s eyes. I groan and look down at my ringing phone. Mom too ? What’s happening ?
“Mom…”
“Oh my baby , are you okay ?” I raise my eyebrows In disbelief and quickly look down at the dialer. It’s my mom.

“Mom ?”
“Yes Ariel. Are you okay ? I heard the news and we heard Gray Carter was shot at in Queens restaurant. We saw some girl and she looks like you and she was his date. I know that wasn’t you , I just wanna be sure you’re okay.

I called Leslie and she told me you’re not in the apartment. Where are you ? Are you okay ?”
“Mom I’m fine. I’m not injured and nothing happened to me.”
“Thank God. Where are you ?”
“Mom I gotta go. I’m with my friends okay. Bye Mom , say hi to daddy.” I sigh and hang up at once.

I quickly switch off my phone and keep it aside. I’m not in the mood for this. I still can’t register what just happened even if it was the second time.
“Tinkerbell..” Gray calls and move to sit next to me.

I didn’t bother to look at him. He’s filled with mysteries.
“Come here..” He coos and pull me to himself stroking my bare back.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want you to keep whimpering.

Nothing is gonna happen to you cause I’m here okay. If anything should happen , they are gonna go through me first.” I could feel the smile in his words as he kisses my temple.
