Ch. 251..255: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 251-255
Chapter 251: A life without you.
Beau.
I walk into the room and he is asleep on our bed. I can’t help but smile, seeing how angelic he looks right now. All the anger that I thought I had, wipes off because I can’t stay angry with him when he looks so beautiful right now. I reach for him and he is cold. It almost looks like he is not even breathing. Now the calm expression on my face vanishes and is replaced with fear.
Lanis is always pale but right now he looks dead. I shake him off a little and he doesn’t budge. I start to think the worse because of the last conversation we had—he said he wanted to get rid of our babies and now this. I don’t like that my mind goes in that direction.
"Lanis," I call his name out loud panicking.
He doesn’t move, doesn’t flinch. I grab him in my trembling arms, trying to stop my emotions. This is not the time for fear. I need to make sure he is okay. "I need you to come back Lanis. Wake up,’’ I scream, slapping him gently.
His eyes open suddenly and they are white, the pupils are not showing. He jumps off my arms and to the corner of the bed. It takes a couple of seconds for him to come back around. For his eyes to clear up "Hey, it’s me,’’ I assure him. He is in the corner of the room. His eyes look around and he looks very confused. I stretch my hands out, an attempt to reach out to him.
He takes a deep breath and I watch him get his colour back. His eyes close for a second "What happened?’’ I ask him.
He shakes his head "You’re here,’’ slowly he crawls to my side of the bed and rests his head on my shoulder. I hold him tighter than I even thought I would. He squeezes my right arm tightly. "You’re here,’’ he mutters again almost like he didn’t believe I would show up. I told him I was going to but he must think that his actions are unforgivable.
"I will always show up," I assure him because no matter what happens, he will always be mine and I will always be his. This thing between us is stronger than our disagreements and our opinions. No matter what we don’t agree on, I will always protect him. I will always hold unto him at his time of weakness.
He pulls back from me slightly. I see him clearly now. There are tears in his eyes. "I don’t want to lose this Beau. I don’t want to lose you,’’ he cries.
I watch him "You won’t lose me. Not now, not ever.’’ That is my promise to him and he might not believe me at this moment because of all that has happened but I am tied to him. I will always be by his side and with time, he will see that.
"Let’s do this. Me and you. Let’s have these babies.’’
I open my eyes wide from the shock because when I came home, I didn’t expect him to say that. I wasn’t even thinking along those lines. I had already accepted my fate and now this. Is this really what he wants? I don’t want him to resent me if it isn’t.
"We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. This is not about what I want anymore. This is about you. If you are not okay with this, we won’t do this."
It’s weird that I am agreeing to him getting rid of my babies. For a while now, I have been so focused on them and completing my family that I haven’t even focused on him and the things that he has been going through.
"I want to. I changed my mind.’’ he shakes his head, his eyes are sad. Something happened to him and I don’t know what it is and it is making me worried.
"Hey,’’ I grab his chin to make him look at me. He takes a deep breath as his eyes stay on mine. "We will figure this out. Whatever it is, I got your back,’’ I assure him.
He leans closer to me, clutching unto me tightly "I saw my life without you. I don’t want a life without you. I want our family.’’
My heart warms up from his words because even though he is spiralling right now. This is something I wanted to hear. I wanted to be on the same page with him. I didn’t want this if he didn’t and now it seems like he wants this.
"Okay, I am not going anywhere,’’ I try to give him some assurance.
"I know. We need those babies. I can’t lose this life. I need this family."
His words are sincere. There is fear in his tone. The kind that makes me think he saw something while he was asleep. Dreams always have a way of creeping in and reminding us of the important things in life. As long as he is not doing this for me, I will be okay.
His stomach grumbles suddenly and he pulls away from me. I feel him and he is hungry. "Have you eaten today?’’ I ask him immediately, pulling away from him gently. His cheeks redden as he shakes his head. We haven’t gone to Alby because I didn’t know where we stood on the whole pregnancy but now it seems like we are on the same page. If he wants this, I plan on taking care of him, making sure this is as smooth as possible.
He shakes his head slowly, there is hesitation in his eyes "I want to take care of you. Will you let me?’’ I ask him hopefully.
He nods "I am sorry for being a jerk." His face is close to mine. Calling me, begging for forgiveness and he hasn’t even done anything. I lean forward until my lips are on his. Our lips merge together and for the first time all week, I feel him completely. He is letting me in. I kiss him for a couple of minutes until the sounds of his tummy get louder.
"I’ll be back,’’ I tell him as I get up from the bed and to the direction of the door.
"Beau,’’ he calls me. I stop in front of the door with my hand on the handle "I love you,’’ he adds. There is a smile on his face, one that I return.
I know we will be okay.
Chapter 252: A different person
Gyles.
The drive is long but just knowing that I will get to see him soon makes it all worth it. we have been in this car for hours and I can tell that Rex is tired. I don’t want to wear him out and I don’t even know how to drive.
My eyes shift to him and he manages a faint smile, the kind that tells me that he is just doing this for me. I know he doesn’t want to be in this car right now. He and Blue are cool. I know he misses him but he doesn’t want to do anything that will make Blue upset. I know this is another selfish move, I know I am just thinking about myself and how to make things right between all of us but for once in my life, I want to do right, the only way I can do right by the two of them is if I get us all together. I need to make sure our mating is successful. I need to be the person that they want, not someone that just thinks about myself.
You are thinking about yourself right now.
My wolf reminds me. One minute, he is on my side, the next minute, he is against me. I can’t please him. I don’t know what to do to prove to them all. I have been selfish all along but that is not what I am about right now.
"We should take a break,’’ I suggest. Rex glances at me for a second and then shakes his head slowly.
"I think I should keep driving.’’
I sigh because this is not the time to be stubborn. He is tired and I don’t think it is a good idea for us to keep going. I see a motel as he drives by slowly "Come on, we just passed a motel. Let’s call it a night and start our journey tomorrow."
"If we keep driving. We will get there before the morning.’’ He interjects.
I frown "There is no good showing up late at night. Let’s just take a couple of hours to recuperate and then we can continue the journey.’’
He sighs but I can already sense him giving in. "alright, we will get the next one,’’ he meets me in the middle. I haven’t talked to Rex about how he feels about all this. I want a bond with him and things were going very well in the beginning but along the lines and all the emotions. I lost sense of what was important. I had a fear, one that I dint want to talk about but now, I am ready to talk to both of them, I am ready to compromise. I am ready to be good for the two of them. At first, I didn’t understand the relationship—till now, I still don’t understand why we have to be three but I see and feel things that make me okay with it. I don’t mind that we all have to share each other.
I want to give them my all and be a better person for them.
We get to the next motel that we see, which took us about another thirty minutes and according to Rex, a lot closer to Blue. My heart has been beating heavily all day. I am excited to see him even though I know he might not be excited to see me.
"Come on,’’ Rex parks the car and the parking lot and walks out of the car. I grab the bag I brought with me and he raises a brow in question "Do you need to bring this with you. we are just in the room for the night,’’ he reminds me.
I nod "Yeah, I know, I just want to have a shower,’’ I tell him because the weather has been extra hot today and all the nerves from this trip have made me a sweaty mess. He pays for the room and I watch him helplessly. I have been feeling so helpless lately. Like there is nothing I can do right. I couldn’t love Blue and Rex right. I basically ruined Cassius’s life. If I never met him, he wouldn’t have done all the things he did in his life. Lately, I have been thinking about him a lot. There is a lot of hidden anger within me. I loved him so much—on my own choosing. He was the most important person to me and I hate how his life turned out. I wish there was something I could have done to make things right. I wish things didn’t go the way they did. All these things that happen are connected and it is all my fault.
We walk into the room together and the first thing I notice are the twin beds "I am not sleeping alone,’’ I tell him blatantly.
He turns to me with a smile on his face. The dimples on his cheek deepen "Oh really?’’ he asks playfully. I drop the bag on one of the beds and walk over to him with a smile on my own. I grab his hands in mine.
"I want to hold onto you all night,’’ I confess because being alone is not appealing to me anymore. I have thought about how my life will be with the two of them and I want it all. I want the happiness that will come with not feeling lonely anymore. I want it all and maybe this is the only selfish thing that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
"I want that too,’’ he leans forward and I press my lips to his. I close my eyes and get lost in his lips. The fireworks erupt in my head as he pulls me closer to him. My heart thuds in my chest. I never would have thought it would be possible to feel the same way for two people at the same time. Like kissing Blue and kissing rex both feel right. I have no doubts or worry and I want to relish this completely. I grab him by his waist and he pushes me until my back is against the wall. Slowly he pulls apart from me "We have a mission, let’s not fuck it up any further.’’ He breathes heavily against my mouth.
I rest my head on the wall because I know what he is talking about as I feel him hard against my leg. If anything happens between us in this room, Blue will never forgive me this time. Right now, I know I still have a chance with him. I am reveling in that notion that we will all still be together again.
I want to hold on to that.
"Let’s just stick with cuddling for tonight,’’ I agree with him, releasing a sigh of frustration. He chuckles and lets go of me, walking over to the bed.
"You should have your shower,’’ he reminds me and I walk into the bathroom. There is a tub and a sink with a toilet. The walls of the bathroom are dirty and I don’t think having a shower is comforting anymore. I walk over to the mirror and the person I see in the reflection is someone else. Yes., I am staring at myself but it feels like there is something, or should I say a lot different about me. I close my eyes because this is exciting. The prospect of a new beginning. A different kind of life.
Once I open my eyes again, I see Blue in the mirror and he looks very upset.
Oh shit.
Sha
Chapter 253: Loving them deeply
Gyles.
"Where are you going?’’ he asks me immediately. I don’t know how this is possible but I also know that he has magic inside of him, so I guess anything is possible with him. I take a step away from the mirror because I can’t even fathom how he is in the mirror right now. he doesn’t know that we are coming to him but he can tell where we are.
"Is this another dream?’’ I ask him, slowly walking back to the mirror. He lets out a sigh and I look closer, trying to get a clearer view. He is in the same room he was in the last time I saw him. there is a bed at the back of him but the rest of the room is not visible to me.
"You didn’t answer my question."
I manage a smile, trying to see if I will be able to touch him if I reach out. My hand hits the hard glass of the mirror and I see the ripples, almost like the mirror is made of water.
He chooses not to see the smile on the face and how happy I am to be with him, even though this might just be my imagination and I might be dreaming it all.
"Why did you drag Rex with you and why isn’t he answering my call?’’ he questions and I sense the worry in his voice. he doesn’t care about me. this is just him worrying about the only mate he wants. The one that hasn’t given him any problem so far.
"I will show you how much you mean to me.’’ I reach for the mirror again, touching his cheek softly. I don’t know if he can feel it but I watch him as he closes his eyes slowly. My eyes remain fixed on him as I watch and try to study all the sections of his face. From the thickness of his lashes to his round full lips.
He is perfect and I don’t even think he knows it. after a couple of seconds in silence, he finally opens his eyes and there is a pain in his eyes "What are you up to G?’’ he asks me quietly. I am pretty sure he has completely given up on me but the fact that he just called me G makes me think there is a bigger chance. I don’t want to let him go and he doesn’t want to either, so I want him to see that we don’t have to give up on this—he doesn’t have to give up on me. he can have the best of both worlds.
"I promise, I am not about to cause trouble,’’ I try to assure him but the raised brow and frustrated look on his face shows me that he doesn’t believe me. that is why I have to prove it to me.
"Why are you here? Do you trust me?’’ I ask him hoping that a little part of him trusts me. I know that he doesn’t trust me. in fact, I am sure that he is here because he doesn’t trust me. there is no other reason why he would be using magic to spy on me and Rex. he is here because somehow, he was worried about Rex and it led to me but I hope that there is a little part of him that even trusts me. at least, a part of him that doesn’t think I am such a bad person.
"I needed to make sure you were both alright."
I open my eyes wide from the shock of his words. I can’t even believe him right now because the last time I saw him, he said he didn’t want to have anything to do with me. he hated me and now he is telling me that he is worried about me.
A smile sprawls up to my face and he rolls his eyes because even though he is trying to act indifferent right now, there is a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He is worried and he cares about me. getting him to be mine seems easier than I thought. I just have to find a way to make him believe me when I tell him that I am serious now, that I am not going to hurt him and Rex. it might be hard to do this but I will make sure we get to that point in our relationship when he will let go with me.
Give me a chance to prove myself.
Hopefully, when he sees me tomorrow, he will find it in his heart to forgive me. he will find it in his heart to love me again.
"I promise, I am not doing anything wrong this time,’’ I tell him and cross my hand over my chest. He watches me, the suspicion still in his eyes. He doesn’t believe me but he wants to. I see the hesitation and uncertainty.
"Don’t do anything that will make me regret this. go back to the community and stay away from trouble, at least leave Rex out of it,’’ he begs me. At the end of it all, he is still thinking about Rex and how innocent he is. I am the black sheep that could potentially hurt him. I am the one that will eventually bring trouble into their lives. I have already done some damage that will be hard to get out of.
I don’t blame him but eventually, I will make him see me and trust m. I will make him believe me. Rex knocks on the door loudly, probably worrying about me. I watch Blue as he waits for me to answer.
"Are you okay in there?’’ his voice is calm and very caring. The kind that makes me safe. My eyes stay on Blue because he is here and all three of us together are explosive. I already feel the pull. The chemistry and Blue isn’t even really here. Sex between the three of us is going to be electric. I can already sense it.
"Yeah, Blue is,--’’ he stops me by shaking his head incessantly. I stop talking and take a deep breath "I will be out in a second,’’ I change the direction.
"Okay,’’ I hear his voice.
I focus on Blue again and he speaks up "Go back to the community. Stay out of fucking trouble until I return.’’ He warns me. this makes me think that he doesn’t know what I have planned. He doesn’t even know where we are and how close we are to him. I don’t know how he will take seeing us but I hope he is at least happy. I hope he doesn’t lash out and take it out on me.
"When will that be? You said a couple of days and now it is weeks.’’ I accuse him even though he didn’t directly tell me.
I watch him as he runs his hands through his beautiful long hair. One of the things I love about Blue is his hair. How long it is and my fingers as they travel through it. I can’t wait until he is mine and he becomes part of me and then I will have all the time with his hair.
"This is not your concern. Just stay out of trouble." I watch him as he waves his hands in the air and disappears before I can say goodbye. Sometimes, it feels like I have a chance, and then other times, I feel like there is no shot in hell.
Like right now.
I just hope It’s the other way around because I need him and I need all of us together. I have to make them mine.
I have to let these bad times pass.
I walk out of the bathroom and Rex raises a brow at me. I am sure he heard me talking in there and the fact that I didn’t even have a shower must be suspicious to him.
"You were in there for a while,’’ he breathes out. He is on one of the beds, his phone in his grip.
"Did Blue call?’’ I ask him as I lie down next to him on the same bed. He doesn’t object, so I pull him closer.
"Yeah, I didn’t answer because I don’t want him to know about our surprise. I need to make sure that he has no clue."
This thing wasn’t a good idea to him and now he seems excited about it. I like that I made him excited. This is a surprise for Blue and I know for a fact that even though he might not be happy to see me, he will be happy to see Rex. they are at a good place in their relationship and they don’t really need me but I plan on pushing my way in. I plan on being the glue that will join all three of us together.
Fuck it, I am going to love them deeply.
"We should get some sleep." I kiss his temple and he drops the phone on the table and closes his eyes. I watch him sleep and my heart warms up from the sight in front of me.
Chapter 254: Evanora
Blue.
I don’t know what Gyles is up to but I trust Rex. he wouldn’t do anything that would make him have regrets. He is a very thoughtful person. He counts his steps and he doesn’t like to make mistakes.
I don’t know why there was a pull but I ended up using my magic. I hate using my magic and as each day passes by and I use more and more of it because of Gyles, I can’t help but think that being with him might be a bad idea. I don’t want to get sucked into the magic part of me. I hate it so much.
Mom has been acting as nothing happened. Like she didn’t just get fucking poisoned. The fact that she is still trusting people. Making them come into her home just makes me think that she doesn’t care about her life anymore. I will not always be there to get her out of her mess.
My blood will not always be accessible.
At some point in her life, she needs to get her shit together. I don’t know how she has run this coven for so long. She is a mess and I think everyone in the coven knows and that is why she keeps getting hurt. The reoccurrence of her getting hurt is too much and I feel like if this continues, it will eventually be too late and she will die.
Leaving Gyles, I hear footsteps and quickly look in the direction of the door. The knock comes a couple of seconds later and I open the door immediately. Evanora is on the other side of the door. "What are you doing here?’’ I ask her because I didn’t want anyone to know that I was back for now. whoever hurt mother doesn’t need to know yet but I guess the gig is up.
Evanora is a girl in her early twenties. Growing up, she was kind of like a friend to me, when I say kinda, I mean she wasn’t means to me but we weren’t really close. I never had anyone that I was close with and seeing her in front of my room door right now is suspicious.
"Not a nice thing to say,’’ she smiles and walks into my room without my permission. Sometimes, it feels like she thinks we are friends. I don’t consider her a friend. I never have and I never will. Before Rex and Gyles, I felt like a lone wolf. Almost thought I would end up living the same kind of life as my father. I actually thought we would end up together. lone wolves with no hold in this world but now that I feel love. I don’t want to be like him. I want to be happy with the two most important people in my life.
It has been a while since I have seen Eva and she looks older. Her blond hair is longer than it usually is, her blue eyes still have that coldness that she has always carried. Eva is petite and I don’t think she is ever going to grow taller than this.
"Where have you been?’’ she asks me almost like she suddenly care about me and my whereabouts.
I roll my eyes "What do you want?’’ I know there must be a reason why she is here. No one would just visit me because they wanted to check up on me. when I remember my childhood and how I was treated, in school, with the people that were supposed to be a family. I hate it. I guess that is why it was so easy to leave here. I don’t even want to be here right now.
"I came to see you,’’ she smiles batting her lashes.
You are a pathetic excuse for a warlock.
Something must have gone wrong with this one.
You are better off human.
Thinking about the harsh words I had to live with all my life makes me even angrier "Get to the point. I know you didn’t come here for that,’’ I snap at her because I have learnt that I don’t have to tolerate them. I don’t have to care what they think about me. they mean nothing to me and I don’t even give a shit.
The smile on her face wipes off and I know I hit her where it hurts—not like I give a shit. The fact that she is here and thinks she can just act like she isn’t one of the people that made my life miserable just baffles me.
"You don’t have to be so mean about it,’’ she places her palm on her chest like I just hit her or something.
I sigh because this conversation is getting frustrating. I don’t even know how she got into the house in the first place. the first thing I did was warn all the guards to make sure no one came in without an invitation. The fact that she is here means they aren’t doing their fucking job.
"You obviously came here for something. so why don’t you just end my fucking misery and tell me what you want." I tell her as I close the door. I mean, she is here, so she might as well get to the point.
"I don’t know what happened to you but you have become so mean,’’ she says as she walks closer to me. her eyes still have those, I am trying to be cute expression on them and it is irritating me. in the eyes of any man, you can say that she is beautiful but I have never thought if her in that light. Growing up, I wanted to explore my sexuality because I found that I had an attraction to guys but people at school were just not interested in me. most of the people at school were from the coven. They all knew me as the loser who couldn’t control his magic. I tried to fit in but it was just not a thing that ever happened. I had to go outside the coven, a lot of times and that is how I knew—or should I say, I found out that I am bisexual but I guess now I have to be gay because Rex and Gyles are the only ones I want to be with. They are the only ones that matter.
"Look Evanora, if you don’t get to the point, just leave,’’ I push her because this is getting tired.
She sighs and then places her hand on my shoulder. I look at her because I don’t know why she needs to be this close to say what she wants to say. "There are some things I think you should know. Things that can help you with who poisoned Analise."
I don’t know what she is talking about and I also know that I can’t trust her. I don’t trust anybody in this coven but I must listen to her because she might have some information that might be useful to getting this over with.
"Go on,’’ I push her.
Her hand is still on me and it is irritating as fuck but I need her to say whatever she wants to say and leave "There are people that want your family dead. I have heard talk around town. They failed this time and they will keep trying until they don’t fail anymore.’’
I knew this was bigger than all the other times.
I don’t know what I have gotten myself into.
Chapter 255: Bumping into the stranger.
Rex
I jump off the bed and Gyles is staring at me with a smile on his face. His eyes are wide open. It almost seems like he didn’t sleep a wink last night. I get that he is a vampire and he doesn’t need sleep but he is part wolf. So, there is a part of hum that is like me, so he should be asleep.
"What time is it?’’ I reach for my phone and there are a bunch of messages from blue. Ignoring his calls is not the best thing but I want him to be surprised when he sees us. I want that part of him that thought that he wasn’t going to see us for a couple of weeks to be excited. I want to make him happy and now that I think about it, I think he will be happy to see us. He might be angry with Gyles right now but he still loves him as much as he loves me and that will compensate for the anger that he feels.
"It’s a little after seven,’’ he answers me and I feel his hands as they wrap around my waist gently. Being with Gyles alone is a temptation that I didn’t think I would get. I didn’t even imagine that I would have to control myself with him. I know he is trying his best too. He doesn’t want to mess things up as if he did with Blue and I appreciate that he is trying to be better for us. He is becoming more of a decent person and it is all thanks to Blue.
I open my phone to the messages.
They are all sweet messages.
I miss you.
I can’t wait to be in your arms again.
Thinking about you.
Call me when you see this.
All the messages are sweet except one.
Stop whatever you are doing with Gyles. He is such a troublemaker.
"What does this mean?’’ I face the phone to him and he reads the message. A smile sprawls to his face. Like he knows something that I don’t.
"He is such a tease,’’ he smiles and I don’t like that there is something he knows that I don’t. I don’t want to be left out and I am sure he notices from my expression.
"Did he call you?’’ I ask him.
He shakes his head immediately "Something weird happened yesterday. Even till now, I don’t know if it was real or just my imagination.’’
I furrow my brows because I am confused. I was with him all through yesterday, so I don’t know what he is talking about.
"What do you mean, what happened yesterday?’’
He smiles "So, you know you said Blue tried calling you all through yesterday, well he came to me yesterday.’’
"Came to you how?’’
I don’t know what he is talking about but it seems like he has lost his mind. I don’t know how much Blue rejecting him has affected him but it seems like he is out of his mind right now. I don’t want to make him seem crazy.
"In the bathroom,’’ he smiles like he is being rational right now.
"How?’’
His smile widens "He used his magic,’’ he tells me calmly.
"He came to you in the bathroom with his magic?" he nods "Why would he do that?’’ I add because I am confused. I can’t say that it is impossible because I know he actually had magic. So, there is a possibility that he came here last night but I don’t know why he would do that. Blue said he didn’t want to talk to Gyles. He is still upset with him—hence why we are going to him in the first place.
"You were not answering his calls,’’ he breathes out those words and they just confuse me the more.
"Why didn’t he come to me? if he wanted to talk to me?’’
He raises a brow "Is this a problem. Did you not want him to come and see me?’’ he asks and I can tell that I have hurt him with my questions. It’s not that I am jealous or anything but sometimes, I just feel like Blue has more of a bond with Gyles than with me. I might be the only one that he is talking to right now but sometimes I feel like their connection is stronger and I am just in the middle.
That is because you are not giving him a chance to bond with you. open up to him and you will see.
My wolf accuses me.
"There is no problem Gyles, I just feel like it is kinda weird that he went to you and not me. maybe he is forgiving you.’’
I try to make it seem like I am on his side right now when I am jealous. I hate that there is a part of me that is jealous when deep down I know that the love between the three of us is equal. Maybe It’s that part of me that wants to be the center of attention.
He gets up from the bed and I watch him as he grabs a change of clothes from his bag. I am still dressed in the same clothes as yesterday. If we start our journey early, we would be with Blue before the evening. I can’t wait to see him again. I have missed him so much.
"That’s a good thing, right?’’ he asks as he drops the clothes on the other bed. He grabs a towel from his bag, which makes me wonder how many things he packed for this trip. I didn’t take such things.
"Yeah,’’ I tell him as I stand up from the bed too. "I need to get my bag from the car,’’ I tell him with a smile on my face. I know he can tell that I am acting weird but he hasn’t called me out on it and I am appreciative of it.
"Told you to get it last night.’’
I roll my eyes as I walk out of the room and down the stairs until I am outside and under the bright sun. I grab my phone from my pocket and dial his number immediately. he answers on the first ring and I can already imagine him smiling.
"Hi baby,’’ he breathes out and my heart warms up.
"I am sorry for not answering all your calls last night."
He chuckles "Yeah, you had me worried. So worried that I did something stupid.’’ He confesses and I already know what he is talking about.
"Gyles told me.’’
He sighs "I knew he would. I didn’t want it to look like I didn’t trust you. I just wanted to make sure you were okay,’’ he explains.
All the worrying in my head disappears because I completely trust him. I know he is sincere right now. I don’t have anything to worry about. It is just my insecurities getting the best of me and I need to calm down and stop being secretive.
"We are fine,’’ I assure him.
"Are you guys back at the community?’’
I close my eyes because I will have to do some more lying. I can’t tell him where we are because this has to be a surprise.
"Yes,’’ I lie.
"Good. I have some things to do today, so I might not respond immediately but I will call you tonight to check up on you."

"I love you, Baby."
I smile because the sincerity in his tone is overwhelming. Having this much love from two people is so empowering that sometimes I don’t know how to handle it. I grab my car from the bag and as I am walking back to the room, I bump into someone.
A woman.
"I am so sorry,’’ I apologize as I start to help her with her things. She manages a faint smile and for a minute, it feels like there is a pull and I can’t stop staring into her eyes. I feel numb at that moment as she holds unto me tightly.
"Nice to meet you Rex West."
