?WINGLESS AND BEAUTIFUL?
?EPISODE 90?
“Well, I thought you planned to corrupt my innocence soearly in the relationship,” he teased.
I pulled him towards the house. “Don’t get any ideas inyour head, Hunter. I’m only after your comfort. Our couchisn’t fancy, but it’ll keep you warm just fine.”
He pushed the remote on his car to lock it and then hewent inside the house with me. He double-barred the door behind him.
“Toilet’s over there. Most of the stuff there are mine.Meredith has her own bathroom in her room. There are new toothbrushes on the cabinet.
Feel free to take one.” I pointed to a corner of the house where the bathroom was.
“I’ll go get you a blanket and pillows.”
He simply nodded.
I took clean sheets, a blanket and pillows from my cabinet. Hunter was in the bathroom when I came back tothe living room. I placed the clean sheets over the couch,then I placed the blanket and pillows on it.
I almost jumped when I felt Hunter snake his arms around my waist.
“Jesus, you really do move like a ninja!”
“Ninja?” he echoed, spinning me around so I could face him.
I looked up at him. He had removed his jacket.
He was wearing a white shirt, different from what he was wearing during our date.
“Yeah, Denise sometimes say that about you. We don’t even see you coming to class.”
“I take a lot of special classes. It’s necessary if I want to graduate with you. No way, you will go to college without me,” he said.
“Good,” I said smiling up at him. I stared back at his shirt. “This wasn’t the shirt you were wearing before.”
“I changed in the car,” he explained. “I always have extra clothes there, just in case I won’t be able to comehome. Like tonight.”
I smiled up at him. My heart felt like it will burst withhappiness any minute.
“Thank you,” I whispered.
He leaned his forehead against mine. “You didn’t haveto thank me. I love you, you know.”
“I know. Now, more than ever.”
“Is it okay with your aunt, if I stayed?”
“As long as you’re not in my bed, she’ll be fine with it.”
He groaned playfully and I laughed, pulling away fromhim.
“Good night, Hunter.”
He pulled me back to him and gave me a gentle kiss onthe lips before releasing me. “Good night, angel.”
I went to my room, closing my bedroom door behind me. I threw myself in bed.
And because I couldn’t contain the happiness that I felt inside, I put my pillow over my headand literally screamed on it. I didn’t even care if Hunter heard me.
My life for the following months had been pure bliss. Iwas not exactly invisible to the people in school becauseHunter was always beside me.
And he was definitely notinvisible—especially to the girls. I knew they still couldn’tbelieve that I could score a guy like Hunter.
I didn’t carewhat they thought. As long as they kept their thoughts especially their limbs—to themselves and leave us the hellalone.
Hunter never missed picking me up in the morning anddriving me back from school every night.
He was a waybetter guardian angel than Chaise ever was.It took a good twenty-four hours for Denise to recoverfrom her shock when Hunter and I showed up in their house,
holding hands.
We finally explained to her how we first metat CRC when Hunter was still blind and how we fell in love.
“She was the reason why I agreed for a transplant. I loveher. And I wanted to be the boyfriend that she deserved.
A boyfriend who would live for her, die for her, protect heruntil his very last breath,” Hunter said.
Denise blinked back at him and said, “You have to befreaking kidding me! Who are you?”
“Give it up, cuz. I am sweet and romantic. But onlyAllison can bring it out.”
“Yeah, otherwise, you’re a heartless douchebag!”
“Be careful, Denise. That’s my boyfriend you’re referring to,” I teased her.
She groaned. “How could this happen to me? My bestfriend and my cousin! Ewww!”
“Oh, grow up. I met her first,” Hunter quipped. “Besides,we’re not too thrilled about your relationship either.”
Her eyes widened at him. Then she turned to me. “Youtold him?”
I shook my head. “I would never.”
