Chapter 13: Unexpected
CJ
I returned to my room after getting her some ice and water but when I walked into my room she was sleeping on my bed. She looked like a fiery angel. ‘She’s PERFECT’ Xazul stole the words right out of my head. I closed my door and lay right next to her. I touched her forehead, and her temperature was back to normal. I couldn’t stop staring at her. I wanted to remember every feature about her. I already knew I loved her hair and her eyes, but the more I stared at her the more things I loved about her. Seeing her sleeping face makes me want to keep her with me. Knowing she is in my bed; I fell asleep very peacefully.
When I awoke, she was gone. I rushed out of bed trying to find her. But she wasn’t in the house. I grabbed my phone and dialed her number but no respond. I decided to text her and wait for her to respond.
Lexy
I was so comfortable. I didn’t want to wake up. And then it hit me, I wasn’t in my room. CJ was right next to me asleep. I stared at his handsome face. He looked too cute sleeping. And then I came back to my senses. I got up slowly to make sure CJ didn’t wake up. I checked my phone, and it was 4am. ‘SHOOT’ all I could say in my head. I grabbed my stuff and left his house the same way he brought me in. I made it to the packhouse and got on my bike. I speed home and once I’m close I turn off the bike and walk it the rest of the way. I was sneaking through my window when my lights turned on. I jumped from the shock.
“You scared the crap out of me” is all I manage to say. “Where have you been?” she asked furiously. “With friends. Why are you in my room?” I try to sound as calm as possible. “I told you to be home by 8.” “I forgot. Is no big deal” I respond nonchalantly while going through my drawers to get some of my pajamas. “I was serious for you to be home at that time. We need to talk and is serious” she said with a concern expression. “What is..” before I can finish the sentence a man came into my room. A man I’ve never met before, and I wish I never did. He’s making my hair stand up on end.
“Excuse you?! Who are you and why are you in my room?” “Be quiet Lexy. Don’t speak.” My mom looked scared. “I was just getting her ready sir. She’ll be out in 1 minute” she said with a shaky tone. “Hurry up. The master doesn’t like being kept” he said coldly and walked right out. “What the hell is going on mom?” “Sshh. Keep it down and listen quick. It has to do with your father, but I can’t get into the details. I just need you to listen and do what I tell you for once. Pack a quick bag, take this envelope, and run. When you think you’re safe open the envelope. It’ll answer most of your questions. I’m sorry it had to be like this” she said with tears in her eyes. “Now hurry before he comes back. Just know that I do love you” she kissed my forehead and helped me get my things. I was having a hard time packing. She did most of the packing. I stopped her and gave her a tight hug. After getting my important papers in my bag, she pushed me right back out the window. “Whatever you do, don’t look back.” “I love you mom” I went straight to my bike and walked off with it until I was far enough to start it and take off. I couldn’t understand what was going on but for the first time I listened and did what she said. The only problem is that I didn’t know where to go, where I could feel safe.
I just drove off and the rain began to pour and next thing I know I found myself in front of CJ’s houses soaking wet. ‘Safe with mate’ Leila shocked me with her words. But before I could turn around and leave, CJ was walking towards me. “Are you ok?” he asked with a concern on his face. “I umm…I.. umm” I couldn’t get a proper word out. He just put his arms around me and held me tight while he dragged me inside the house into the kitchen. I began to cry while he held me and stroked my hair. Once I calmed he left my side and handed me a bottle of water and pushed me to drink some. I drank half the bottle when I finally stopped crying. “Can you tell me what happened?” he asked while he caressed my cheek.
His touch felt comforting. I finally calmed down and started with “I’m not sure what happened. All I know is my mom told me to run and hide. She told me that ‘When I felt safe, to open and read the letter’. Next thing I knew I was here.” He wiped the tears from my face as they fell. “Thank you for listening. I don’t know why I’m bothering you with my problems. I’m sor..” He cut me off before I could finish my sentence. “No need to apologize. You’re my mate. And you ended here because some part of you feels safe with me” he said as he looked me in the eyes with all the love in the world.
My heart skipped a beat, and I responded by kissing him. He recovered from the shock quickly and responded to my kiss. After what felt like a lifetime, I finally separated myself from him. It felt cold without his touch. He stretched his arm out and cradled my cheek. I couldn’t help but lean into his touch.
“Hey! How about you get cleaned up before you get sick. Let me take your bags from you” he said with concern. I just nodded my head. I didn’t even notice I still had my bags on me. He led me to his room and then into the bathroom. He turned the shower heads on, walked out and returned with a towel and then gave me a kiss on the forehead before walking out of the bathroom and closing the door. I took off my clothes and got in the shower. I just started crying again. I don’t know why I was feeling so sad.
