Chapter 45 *** Won't leave me? ***

[ CHAPTER THEME SONG:
Halo By Beyonce ]

[ VERONICA'S POV ]

I was crying to my heart content, completely unbothered by the chaos that was going around. Countless sirens of police cars drove away and started to clear up the crowd who were standing unnecessarily and blocked the spot.

I heard a familiar soft voice from my back,
" Veronica! "

I was startled, shocked and stayed in disbelief position for a while until I stared up to meet those blue eyes. Blake was looking down at me, a little surprised by my state as he started to stammer confusingly,
" What the fuck are you doing here? You were supposed to stay home."

His voice came out like scolding. Though we had a fight, I couldn't contain my tears at that moment. I jumped off from the ground and threw myself into his arms.

His body shook at the impact but he kept me holding tight in his embrace. I was still crying and snaked my arms around his neck. I had the feeling of being returned in my own body.

He was patience with me. Keeping me hold in his safe embrace, he began to ask slowly,
" Why did you come here,mm? What if you got lost? This isn't B Nation. You should remember it."

I replied between my sobs,
" I..I thought that you...Sob..I saw your car in the news..I..I thought that it was you who encountered accident..I thought that I lost you, Blake.."

Blake sighed in my ears and replied patting on my back,
" Someone has stolen my car and lost his life in that accident. The police found that the car belonged to me. So they asked me to come and ensure that it was mine. I came to confirm it. Then I saw you crying."

I buried my head into his neckline deeply. Inhaled his body smell few times until my mind confirmed that it was Blake that I was holding on.

I sobbed harder until I had no words left to utter and suttured between my heavy breathing,
" I thought that it was you, Blake. It was you! I felt like dying."

He pressed a warm kiss between my hairs and spoke in a soothing voice,
" It's okay, Veronica. I am here with you. Stop crying! Let's go back to home, okay? Someone can recognize you from the public anytime. You aren't unfamiliar in C Nation anymore."

I didn't give him any response and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He exhaled a sigh helplessly and scooped me up so that my legs were wrapped around his waist. Hands snaked around his neck, I was clinging onto his body like a little baby.

Tilting his head aside, he spoke to the policemen who was in charge of finding his car,
" Apologise, Officers. My men will come to take the car. I have to leave now."

I heard some men chuckling at us as one of them teased probably noticing my nagging,
" Sure! Cars can be regained but girlfriend can't."

Blake shook his head chuckling and made his way towards my car. He spoke while heading to the car that I drove in here,
" You are such fool, Miss Knight. Why did you drive alone?"

I whimpered, still not got over the fact that I had nearly lost him and replied huskily,
" I was out of..my mind.. Thank god.. You are safe, Blake."

I could feel him smiling at me. Walking over to our car, he pulled open the door for me and dropped my weight on the front seat. Making sure that I was seated comfortably, he walked over to the driver seat before hopped on.

I stayed quiet in our entire ride. Perhaps the earlier impact on myself had made me reluctant to talk anymore. I almost lost half of my soul when I visualized Blake in Coffin.

Breaking off the awkward silence between us, Blake spoke turning on the AC inside the car and I assumed that he did this all to make me comfortable,
" Have you eaten your dinner?"

I didn't respond as a part of me was still angry with him.

Why did he leave angrily without listening to me? Nothing would have happened if he was a little more patience.

He let out a frustrated growl before stopping the engine abruptly. Without saying another word, he grabbed me by my chin and slammed his lips onto mine.

I gasped before parting my mouth effortlessly as he dived his hot tongue into my mouth. I whimpered protestingly at first but then his skilled kiss pulled me out from my dream zone.

After he was done brusing my lips, he let go of my chin and pressed his forehead against mine. His blue eyes stared deep into mine as he spoke with a satisfied smile,
" Can you believe it now that I am alive and with you here? Mmm? Talk to me, Baby."

I sniffed adoringly and replied with a pout,
" I..I was just scared..You didn't pick up my calls and went outside madly..I can never think about not having your child. I was just scared about our relationship. We don't know anything about Victoria. I don't know what is awaiting for us in the future. So I just took precautions, Blake. I had no intentions to hurt you.I..I understand that you want a child badly. It's not just right times between us."

He listened quietly but there wasn't any sign of anger on his face anymore. Patting on my head lovingly, he spoke before kissing the corner of my lips,
" I understand your concern, Veronica. Sorry, I went on too hard on you. I will never force you to have a child for me until you are ready for it."

I smiled back at him emotionally and hoped that someday I would gift him a lot of children of us to lessen the sorrow for his unborn child.

" Hmm! Have you done with the arrangements?", Blake spoke from my bedside as he rubbed ointment on my bruised knees. I had pressed it hard on the ground that gave me few bruises.

He was on call with Asher who informed that they were going to enter into Raven Mafias Territory tomorrow. I was expecting a good result. At least, we would hear any news of Victoria.

Blake ended the call after few small talks and spoke staring up at my absentminded face,
" Does it feel better now?"

I hummed snapping out from my thoughts and questioned uncomfortably,
" What did he say? Are we really going tomorrow?"

Blake nodded blowing on my scar and replied getting closer with me,
" Yes, we are. As much as I don't want you to come with us, I know that you won't stop nagging me. But you better stay behind my back always."

I smiled faintly and assured in a confident voice as I didn't want to become a burden on him,
" Yes,I will follow your words this time."

Suddenly I had a lot of questions in my mind. If Victoria will be found by us tomorrow, would he leave me? What will happen to us? Our future?

Repulsively, I clasped his palms together and blurted out nervously,
" Blake! You..you won't leave me, would you?"

He appeared a little shocked by my words and looked up at me blankly without saying anything.

His silence was killing me! Deep down, I knew the answer.. Perhaps I knew.
