Ch. 236..240: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 236-240

Chapter 236: The secret under the pillow

Beau.

"Hey,’’ I walk into the room and he jumps up from the bed hiding something under the pillow. I raise a brow because he looks suspicious as fuck right now. All week, he has been acting weird—like there is something that he doesn’t want to tell me. I don’t like that my mind is going in this direction but I have tried to read him and every time I think I have figured it out, he closes off again.

"How was the meeting?’’ he asks me but all my mind is on what he did. I can swear, that I saw something. He kept something away from me. We are like open books to each other.

What are you hiding Lanis?

"Very good actually. There was a sighting a couple of towns away. It seems like Fallon is hiding at a motel."

Just hearing that made my whole day. This week has been exciting for me. After Alby told me congratulations, I have been trying to find out if it has happened and Alby said I would know—that I will feel it. Nothing seems different, apart from whatever he is keeping from me.

I walk over to the bed, usually, when I come from a meeting, I have a shower but right now I just want to be close to him. I want to feel him, know if there is anything different. I crawl into the bed, completely ignoring him as he tries to cover the pillow. Whatever he is hiding will come to light. I know he can’t keep a secret from me for too long. Eventually, he will tell me whatever it is. Right now, I am not even focused on him. Lately, he has been glowing a lot. Lanis has always been pale—I guess all vampires are pale but recently, there has been colour on his face. I know this might all be my wishful thinking. I want this so badly that my brain is seeing things. Concocting what is not real. I rest my head on his chest and he starts to play with my hair. Slowly, my eyes begin to close. There is just something about being in his arms that makes me calm and relaxed. It feels like I am floating on clouds. The euphoria that is my man is encompassing.

"He is such a coward,’’ he brings up Fallon again and I fall from the clouds immediately. I don’t want to talk about Fallon because it just upsets me "His time will come, don’t you worry about that,’’ I assure him because he is as worried as I am.

I climb on top of him and he chuckles playfully "Someone has missed me,’’ I exclaim as I feel him against me.

He hides his face in my chest and I sniff him all over his body. My heart is racing right now, I want more and he seems to want the same things. I smash my lips to him and he moans into my mouth, welcoming every bit of intimacy we are about to share. My hand slides to his chest and he slides his tongue into my mouth. I taste him and the delicious sweetness makes me want more.

Almost reflex, my hand slides over to his stomach. I just want to feel something, anything that will tell me that it has happened. It’s ridiculous how eager I am about this. I haven’t even told him about it all. I don’t want to put any pressure on him. I don’t want him to start looking forward to it in case it is not time. I need him to just relax while my babies form fully. I feel him stiffen as my hand goes over his shirt. His body isn’t even as cold as it used to me. I already know there are changes in him but he hasn’t said anything to me—that is why I think it is all in my head. I don’t want to overwhelm him.

He pulls away from me immediately and this confuses me. "What’s wrong?’’ I ask him, worried that I have done something.

He shakes his head and manages a faint smile. It is not completely sincere, which makes me worry even more "Did I do something?’’ I start to think the worst because of all the things that he has been hiding from me spring up in my mind. I don’t want to be suspicious of him because he is the only person I trust one hundred percent.

He wouldn’t lie to me.

"No, I am just very tired right now,’’ his words have me thinking that he doesn’t want me right now, which is very weird because he always wants me.

"You don’t feel tired,’’ I reach for his dick and he moans as I grab on to him. He closes his eyes and for a second I want to tease him but I also don’t want to do anything that he doesn’t want to do. If he says he is tried right now, then I will believe him. I won’t put pressure on him or force him to fuck me right now. That is not the kind of person that I am. I won’t become that person.

Slowly I pull my hand away from him and he opens his eyes "I am going to take a shower,’’ I tell him, detaching from him completely. I see the guilt-ridden expression on his face. I know he regrets it but I am not even upset. I know if this is something he needs to talk to me about, he will.

Whatever it is must be hard for him.

After my shower, I come back into the room and he is not inside. He didn’t say anything before leaving but I am sure he just went to get some blood refill from the kitchen. Thinking about it, I haven’t seen him drink blood in a while.

Maybe that is another change. Something that comes with the pregnancy. I am so excited about and it seems like he doesn’t even want to talk to me about all the changes in me.

I walk over to the bed and my heart races. I know I shouldn’t do this but I am curious to see what he hid under the pillow. My hands tremble as I reach for the pillow on his side of the bed. This not like me but I need to know. The moment the pillow comes off and I see the packet of chocolate chip cookies, my confusion expands.

This doesn’t seem like something he needed to hide but at the same time, I get why he would hide this. Lanis doesn’t eat unless I force him too. Vampires don’t have regular taste buds as we do. They don’t get pleasure in food like a regular person. So that would explain why he hid the snack.

There is only one thing that runs through my mind and it is exciting. I don’t understand why this is some sort of secret.

Why did he feel the need to hide it?

What is going on?

Chapter 237: Alanis’s fear

Alanis.

I walk back into the room and he is standing above the bed with the pack of cookies that I hid from him. I don’t know why I hid it in the first place. It was stupid of me and immediately I did it, I knew I fucked up. I don’t know what to say because I need to be honest with him now.

This is the chance to tell him how I am feeling.

"Hey," I manage quietly. A white towel is wrapped around his waist and there is water dripping all over him. His eyes shift from the snack in his grip to me.

"You’re eating" he states, going straight tot eh point. This shouldn’t be a big deal but from his question, I already know that it is a big deal.

"Yeah.’’ I manage, stopping in front of him. I have been doing a good job of hiding the food I have been devouring all week but it is really getting old. I need to tell him the truth, talk to him about all that I am feeling. The longer I keep all this inside, the more frustrating I will keep being.

"Why did you hide it?" he questions calmly. The fact that he is being so calm should make this easier but it just makes it harder because I know Beau and right now. He is trying to control himself so that he doesn’t get to the point where he will be upset.

"I need to talk to you about something,’’ I reach for him and he watches me, not saying anything. Gosh, this is harder than I thought. I don’t want to tell him because the second those words leave my lips. The more real this becomes. If he finds out that I feel this way, he will never forgive me. He wants this so badly and here I am, about to tell him that I don’t.

Don’t do this. This is a good thing.

"Okay.’’

I take a deep breath "I have been craving food a lot lately.’’ I start with that. I think he will figure it out on his own. This is something that he has been thinking about since we had the dreams. This is something that he wants. His mind will definitely go there when I give him the signs.

"What does a lot mean?’’

"Like every minute of every day."

He nods "How come I haven’t seen you eat?’’

I know he will not like the next thing I say. He hates when I keep things from him and I hate the reverse. We promised to be open to each other. We realized in our relationship that honesty is the best thing for us. When we keep things, it creates a hole in our relationship, which eventually becomes so big to mend. I don’t want that gap. I want things to be good between us. Beau wants an expansion of our family. He wants the whole thing but I am fine with just the two of us. I know I will never get lonely as long as I have him by my side.

They have put thoughts into his head and now he thinks more is the only way our family will stand the test of time. I just want him. I don’t want to have to deal with this pregnancy.

You are just scared.

I hate that I have to be the one that goes through this. I hate that this weirdness is happening inside my body.

It is just unnatural.

"I hid it from you.’’

He frowns "Why?’’

Because you’re excited.

"Because I don’t want you to start thinking it is what you are already thinking it is. I didn’t want to get your hopes high.’’

I decide to go for a lie. Something that I shouldn’t do. I should just tell him the truth. That I wish this is just a hoax. I wish it is false and we don’t have to go through this. I know it is going to happen because Eligio showed me the future but you can change the future. Nothing is ever really set in stone. The way I am going to take this. It can’t be fucking set in stone.

"You think there is a possibility,’’ a smile sprawls on his face.

I shake my head immediately. I don’t want to give him that idea "I didn’t say that. See you are already getting your hopes up.’’ I accuse him.

"I am excited. Alby seems to think it has happened. He told me congratulations the other day.’’

What?

"When did that happen?’’ I ask him because I can’t believe that he would talk to Alby and not tell me about it.

What the fuck?

"A week ago. I didn’t want to worry you.’’ he dismisses it like he didn’t just keep something so major from me.

You did the same.

"Worry me. The last time I checked, this thing is happening to me. I am the one that is going to go through the whole thing. I should be the first to know.’’

I take a step from him because I am getting upset right now and this is not how I am. I am usually calm. I don’t take things to this level. Maybe this is hormonal. All the changes that come with it. I hate this so much.

"Baby, calm down. I am sorry.’’ he apologizes, grabbing my arm to stop me from leaving. He already knows that I want to leave. I can’t even look at him right now because every time I look into his eyes. There is a shine. It has to do with those kids.

Kids that I don’t want.

Fuck.

"I don’t think I can do this Beau. I am not ready yet.’’

I don’t want to tell him that I don’t want this. Maybe if he thinks I am not ready, it won’t hurt as much as finding out that I don’t ever want this.

He pulls me into his arms and I rest my face in the crook of his neck "We will figure this out,’’ he tries to offer me assurance but I don’t think it is working. No matter what I say, he will always want this. He will always think about these kids and I don’t want that. I just want a life with him.

Only him.

Chapter 238: Dreaming about you

Gyles.

It feels like I am dying.

I know my statement seems a little farfetched. I mean, why would I die? He has been gone for just a week. It shouldn’t mean that much but here I am with this ache in my chest and the uncertainty of not knowing what to do about it.

Rex has been a big help but it feels like Blue is the only one that can fill the void. It is like having a puzzle and being unable to complete it because of a missing piece. Right now, Blue is that missing piece. Rex has been going to school a lot, so I rarely see him and I have been calling Blue, he hasn’t even answered once and I know that he is with his phone because he talks to Rex all the time. He said he rejected me, but I don’t want to think about that because I want to be optimistic and believe that he will find it in his heart to forgive me.

I have done a lot shitty things and I have been so selfish but I want to make things right. Alanis said some things to me that have resonated deep inside me. I might think that I am a bad person but I still have a chance to change that and I want to change it so bad. I want Blue and Rex to see me in a different light. Right now, they see me as the villain. I manipulated Blue and ruined our chances.

I walk into the library. Okay, maybe not a library but the place in the community that has a lot of books about our kind. Alanis showed me this place the next day. We sort of started this weird friendship after that night and he has reduced the loneliness I feel but nothing can make it better as long as Blue is not here.

I know he is punishing me for the way I have acted and I don’t blame him but he must feel the same way that I do. There is no way he is not as miserable as I am.

I switch on the light and walk over to one of the shelves. All the books in here are dusty and it looks like no one has even been here in months. The shelves are labelled but I don’t even have a clue on what I am looking for. I just want to make things right. Find a solution to the problems I caused. Blue left without saying anything to me but he explained everything to Rex. He didn’t feel the need to say goodbye to me because of the problems I caused. He is still upset with me—he hates me and I want to make things right.

The book that catches my attention is titled The Origin.

I mean, if I find out how we came about maybe I can find out how mating happens and all the problems that could arise from it. I skim through the pages. Everything I see just tells me how we came about. The curse. I read the book for about an hour until slowly I drift off and fall asleep.

I open my eyes and I am in a room that is unrecognizable to me. There is someone on the bed, sleeping soundly. Slowly, I tiptoe over to the bed because my heart is calling out to the person. I remember falling asleep in the library. I didn’t know I was that tired. The whole thing with Blue is exhausting me. I cant barely sleep at night because I can’t stop thinking about him and in the day time, missing him makes me tired. I don’t know what to do. I just want to see him, kiss him, and beg him to forgive me.

I want us all to be together and happy.

I reach for the person on the bed. This is a dream, so whatever I do will only be in my head. I pull the covers off his head and he jumps up immediately. It feels so real and the moment I see his face and his wide eyes. There is relief inside me.

"What the fuck are you doing here?’’ he shouts to me.

I have been thinking of him so much that now I am dreaming about him. It is completely normal to have dreams.

I should just go along with it.

"I missed you,’’ I try to reach out to him but he pushes off me immediately "I thought I made myself clear. I don’t want to see you.’’ he glares at me angrily.

Even in my dreams, he is upset with me. Can’t I get the version of him that still loves me? It is totally unfair.

"Can I just hold you, it has been so hard for me?’’ I try to make him see that I am suffering. I know I deserve this but I just want a little bit from him. He can continue hating me after but I need him right now.

I reach for him again and this time he doesn’t push me away. Slowly, my arms wrap around his waist and his scent travels through my nostrils. My whole body responds to him, as he completely takes over the beating of my heart. I didn’t realize it. How much loving him would feel.

I love him.

I have loved him and I didn’t even know. I took him for granted and now he is all I need to make my heart complete. It seems stupid to think that Rex is not enough. I have wished he was enough, tried to make him enough, but he wasn’t and now I know that. I am going to make things right.

"You know this is not a dream.’’ He breathes out.

I pull away from him slightly, my eyes now on him. There is a smile on his face. The kind that makes my heart race. How did I ignore all the signs before? Why did I need to?

"I have had a dream about you before and Rex. Don’t worry, it’s a dream,’’ I assure him.

He laughs loudly. The sound travels to the dark room "Yeah it might seem like a dream but it isn’t. You are actually here, or should I say, your wolf brought you here.’’

I furrow my brows "What do you mean?’’

The last time you had a dream about me, I called you out. That is the reason why it felt so real—because it was real.’’

I don’t know if I believe him right now but I have come to know that anything is possible. So this could be real and if it is real, I need to ask him for forgiveness. I need him to know that things will be different. I will make things right between us.

"You left without saying goodbye,’’ I cry because it hurts so badly.

He smiles, I mean here I am pouring my eyes out to him and he is smiling "You don’t care about me, Gyles. I can’t do whatever this is anymore.’’

This is what he has been saying. He has given up on me. I don’t want him to do that. I need him so much right now. "Things will be different. I promise I will learn to stop hurting the people I care about.’’

He scoffs "You don’t have that in you. It’s not that easy to change."

He doesn’t believe in me. I believe that I can do this. I can love him the way he deserves—love them the way they deserve.

"Please Blue,’’ I beg.

He looks away from me, he doesn’t believe me.

I can’t convince him in this dream. I have to do things in real life. I have to make sure I prove to them that I am sincere.

I need to prove it to myself.

"Why should I trust you, I don’t know if I can anymore,’’ he bickers and I know that I deserve this. I have been terrible to them--to them and now is the time to make things right. The time to do right by the two of them.

Chapter 239: So many conflictions

Blue

I will make this right.

I wake up from the dream and my heart thuds achingly against my chest. It has been a week since I left the community and I have missed them both so much. It has been very hard ignoring Gyles because the minute I found out that he got a phone from Rex, I waited for his call. I knew he was going to call, but I just don’t, and when he did. I didn’t answer. It has been very hard ignoring him, especially since all I have been doing is thinking about the two of them.

It has been hard not talking to him. I don’t know how much longer I can keep up with this because every morning I wake up, I want to hear his voice. I want to know how his day went. There are so many things I want to find out about him. His memories, that day, we didn’t talk about it and I wish I could just let him know that it is not his fault. The things that have happened to him are all so messed up and I know he thinks that they happened to him because it was him but I know better and I know that he was just unfortunate at that point in his life. I also know that things will get better but I don’t tell him all this because I had to play hard to get. This is all a ruse and deep down he must know that eventually, I will come around. I might act like I don’t give a shit right now but I still check up on them every night. I make sure I see them as they go to bed. It is a special power of mine that I have been abusing because of them. I don’t mind it. Just knowing that they are both alright is all that matters to me.

I sit up on the bed, thinking about the dream that was so real. He pulled me into his dream, which means he is finally becoming one with his wolf. It is exciting because all along, I knew that he just needed to accept his wolf to feel everything. The disconnection he had with his wolf is what made him so arrogant and selfish. Finally, I feel he is at the place that I have been waiting for him to get to and I know that everything is going to be easy.

My door opens and Levine walks in, she has a smile on her face. This is the first smile I have seen on her face since I got here. "She is awake,’’ she exclaims and leaves my room hurriedly.

Mom has been unconscious since I came here and usually, the remedy with my blood didn’t work as fast as it usually does which just means that the poison was stronger. We still don’t know who did it but I am supposed to find out. Almost like it is a role of my, figuring out the culprit. I don’t know how to tell her that I don’t even want to be in this coven anymore. There is a pact that you take when you join a coven. You can never leave. It is almost like a betrayal but I never took that pact. I was born into the coven and I never completed the calling ceremony. All through my life, I didn’t feel like I belonged, so I never really thought about settling here. Even before I found out I was a wolf, I knew that I wouldn’t stay here for the rest of my life.

It wasn’t something I wanted. So leaving the coven should be easy. The only hard part of it is telling her that I don’t belong here anymore. Somehow, she is still so stuck on me. it almost feels like can’t survive without me and I don’t have it in me to break her heart.

I get up from the bed and run out of my room, dressed in a pair of sweats and a plain white shirt. I go to her room. the last time I was here, she was unconscious in bed, now she is awake and seated upright. She smiles immediately she sees me and makes an attempt to get up.

"Just stay where you are mom,’’ I mutter seeing how difficult it is for her to move.

"My baby is home.’’

The fact that she is calling me baby just shows how clingy she is to me. I am not a baby and I have not been one for a long time but she still treats me as one. Almost like she doesn’t believe that I can survive without her.

I look at her closely to make sure there is no physical damage. Her black hair is packed up in a bun and her green eyes shine brightly. Her skin is paler than usual but there is still a tan on her. The freckles on her nose are duller than usual—overall, she looks okay to me.

"Hey mother,’’ I manage. Walking over to the bed. I stop in front of her and she stretches her arms out. I lean forward until she wraps me into her arms, breathing softly.

"I thought I would never see you again.’’

She is exaggerating. She knew that I would come back, I just needed some space and I haven’t even forgiven her for lying to me and keeping my father away from me. She knows that and if I didn’t see how serious this was, I would believe that it was all a plan to get me home.

"Something is different about you,’’ she echoes as I pull away from her. I actually want to talk to her about what happened. Why this happened in the first place because we need to find the person responsible before they try again.

"I don’t know what you mean,’’ I try to brush it off.

She rolls her eyes "You know I can tell, so spill it before I get it out of you.’’ she warns me in an almost threatening tone.

I know she can but I don’t want to talk about it right now "What happened here mother,’’ I ask her, completely changing the topic. She rolls her eyes again and then focuses on what is serious right now.

"I don’t know, one minute I was okay and then next I wasn’t,’’ she explains to me. I am glad that she doesn’t focus on me and the things that are happening with me because I don’t think I am ready to tell her. her story is short but apparently, there was a party, one that we have every two months and she let people come into the house, which makes me think that this is now a case that is wide. I thought it would be someone close to her but now, the suspects are a lot and I can’t even think of who it could be.

I go back to my room with thoughts on how I am going to handle this. I don’t know what I can do about this but I also know that she will not let me go until I find out who did it. the responsibilities she put on my head are just so much that it is quite hard to handle. Right now, I just have to find out, I know it will be hard but I have my willed sense, and if I have to interrogate everybody one by one. Then I will do just that.

Sitting on my bed, my phone rings and I see Rex’s name on the screen. It brings a smile to my face because I have missed him so much. the worst thing about leaving the community is not being able to see them when I want to.

"Hello,’’ I breathe into the phone. There is a smile on my face, the kind that only rex can bring.

I can almost tell where he is. In his room, in front of the window. His glasses on his face. That cute but confused expression on his face. The fact that I can already picture him, just shows me how much he means to me.

"Hi,’’ just the sound of his voice sends a schilling sensation down my spine.

I close my eyes as I try to steady my heartbeat. "When are you coming back?’’ he adds a question. I was avoiding thi9s because now I have to tell him that it might take a while before I come back to them. The fact that this happened, just means I won’t be able to leave anytime soon.

I take a deep breath because I have to be honest with him. "It might take a while,’’ I give him the vaguest answer I can because there is so much uncertainty.

"How long is a while?’’ he asks. The tone of his voice has changed. I can tell that he is worried. I know he is thinking about our mating and everything that comes with it.

"A couple of weeks."

I wait for his response because I know he won’t take it well. Rex is a calm person. In fact, that is one of the things that made me attracted to him in the first place. in a crowd, he is easily noticed, even though he tries to keep himself in the shadows.

"what about us?’’ he asks.

I close my eyes because I need to explain to him that they are the most important people to me but I just have to sort this out first.

I have to protect her.

 

Chapter 240: In the middle

Rex.

I wait for his response because I don’t know what to say to his confession. He hasn’t even told me what is going on at home and for the first time, I realize that I don’t know anything about Blue. I have been so focused on finally having a mate that I haven’t even taken the time to get to know him. I only know that he is a warlock, I know about Uncle Jules but I don’t know anything about his mother’s side.

It is selfish of me because Blue has been so focused on getting to know me—getting to know us. Suddenly it hits me, he has the short end of the stick. I don’t want that, because I love him.

"What is going on at home?’’ I ask him.

There is silence on the other end of the line. I don’t know if he is surprised at my question or he just doesn’t want to talk about it but after a couple of quiet seconds, he breathes into the phone "Someone is trying to kill my mother,’’ his voice is so calm. He doesn’t sound the least bit worried, so it makes me feel like this has happened before.

"again?’’

He chuckles and the sound is like music to my ears. Makes me feel content, somehow, just knowing that I made him laugh—even though I didn’t do anything, makes me feel better. I take a step away from the window and to my bed. The sun is still out, I woke up not too long ago and I thought about him. he and Gyles are all I think about.

"Yes, there is always someone that wants what she has and I am always in the middle,’’ he explains.

I sit on the edge of my bed and rest my back on the bed frame "You know, I would say that’s the same thing that happened with Beau’s father.’’ I remember Fallon and all the havoc he caused. The fact that he is still out there is scary because I know the kind of person she is. I know he will eventually return and want to take what isn’t his to take.

"Yeah. I heard. My mother just doesn’t listen. She is not in a place where she can trust anyone but she still does. I don’t even like the fact that her sister is always at our house but she won’t listen to me. she keeps too many people around her," he exhales "it is so unfortunate because one of these days, they will succeed."

The fact that he has to deal with this is sad. Why should you have to worry about people killing your family?

Why do people have to be so wicked?

"I miss you,’’ I confess because I really do. Blue and Gyles have become my lifeline. My source of living and being apart from them is difficult.

"I miss you too..." he pauses. I close my eyes because the sound of his voice is soothing to me. it makes me feel better. Somehow, I am not as lonely when I talk to him "Where is Gyles?’’ he asks.

I open my eyes.

Gyles has been absent. He is trying to find a way to make things right. I understand the guilt he feels. I completely want things to get better and I know they will.

"He is busy."

"Doing what?’’

I smile, just thinking about how cute he is. He came into my room late last night and he woke up this morning to go back to the library. "Trying to find a solution,’’ I tell him.

"Solution to what?’’

My smile widens. He is not going to get his answer from the library. The only place we can get the answers is within ourselves. Our wolves have all the answers we need. They are the closest to the goddess.

They are the only ones that can help us complete the ceremony.

"Solution to complete the mating ritual.’’

He sighs loudly "Does he think I have forgiven him?’’ he asks.

I actually don’t know what Gyles is thinking right now. Getting his memories back has made him a different person. He seems different to me and I think Blue will see it when he gets back. he wants to make things right and that has been his only focus and I think he will not stop until he finds a way.

"I don’t know. He wants to make amends."

"I know, I need more time. He hurt me a lot.’’

This is the first time I have actually listened to him. when I found out that they had sex. I didn’t even have enough time to be angry. I didn’t even know how to be angry because all I could think about was making things right. I see Blue as a very strong person. He doesn’t look like he would get hurt easily but now I know better than to think anyone is invincible. Gyles hurt him and I tried to blame him for everything.

I tried to justify it, see the reasoning and I was wrong.

"I am sorry for all the things I said that day. I was wrong to try to pin it on you. I didn’t see your side and I just wanted to settle things without even thinking about how you would be feeling.’’

He sighs again "It’s not your fault." He says finally and it makes me feel better. I just want this ocean that we are in to calm down. I want the storm to go away. I want us all to be together and maybe that is why I have been trying to be mutual. I didn’t want to take sides because I love them both. I have to understand this thing. I have to be ready to give my all to the two of them.

"I just want you to know that you are important to me as much as Gyles is.’’

"So are you, Rex. You are everything,’’ he breathes into the phone. I think I will always remember this moment for the rest of my life. I will always cherish him and the joy he brings to my heart.

The door to my room opens and Gyles walks in with a smile on his face. His eyes shift to the phone in my ear.

"Blue?’’ he mouths the words.

I nod immediately "Can I speak to him?’’ he asks me. his eyes are wide and eager. I know that I can’t turn him down but I also can’t ambush Blue. I was just talking about thinking about him. I have to think about him right now.

"Gyles is here. He wants to talk to you. Can I give him the phone?’’ I ask him.

"I don’t think it is a good idea now. please just tell him that I had to go.’’

I knew he was going to say that. I already expected that but now I have to watch Gyles get disappointed and I don’t like that.

"I will call you tomorrow baby. Take care of yourself for me.’’ he ends the call before I get a chance to say goodbye.

I look at Gyles and shake my head slowly. His eyes darken, and the smile on his face disappears "He had something to do,’’ I try to explain.

He shakes his head "It’s fine."

He turns to the door and I watch him "Where are you going to?’’ I ask him.

"My room.’’

He doesn’t wait as he leaves hurriedly. This is affecting him a lot more than I thought and I don’t know what to do to make things right.

I am just stuck in the middle.
