REMI HOOD

Chapter 28

Remi

I finish my workout and head back to the hotel. I somehow was able to book an available room for five nights. It's 12 PM exactly, dad had texted he'll be waiting in front of the hotel to get me the clothes. I frown to see him already there, I hate how he always manages to come exactly on time. Punctual freak.

"Here's your clothes... And underwear." He tells me and points to two bags next to him.

"They'll totally fit me, right?" I ask knowing they will, Richard Hood knows everything.

Even my bra size.

"Yes, since I bought most of the clothes that belonged to you before, I know the sizes."

I raise one eyebrow at him, all he buys for me is clothes that I can use to steal, like that tight bodysuit. I bet there is at least one bodysuit in there.

"So, do you trust me now?" Dad asks me, his voice full of hope.

"You seriously think I'm gonna trust you after buying me some underwear?" I mock him.

"You respect me, though." He simply states.

"No, I don't." I scoff.

"You call me dad, even if I have to do the most unforgivable things." He tells me as if that explains everything.

I only call him dad because then I can pretend I'm normal and I have a family... Not because I respect Richard Hood.

"You think you know everything but you don't, Richard." I say his name to give him the hint that my respect is nonexistent.

"When is your hand going to get better? You deliver one good punch and you end up getting more damaged than me." He points to the cast on my hand, I scowl at him. Dad sighs. "How long are you staying in this hotel? You'll be wasting my money."

"I'll stay as long as I can." I snap at him and go into the hotel without saying goodbye. I drag the bags and I shove them into the room I'll be sleeping in for the next five days. My phone dings in my pocket.

Will: Did you manage to book a room?

Me: Yes, I got some clothes too, I don't have to borrow your clothes anymore.

My heart tugs in disappointment, I'll miss wearing clothes that smell like him.

Will: You can wear my clothes whenever you want ;)

I smile, throw myself onto the bed and I try to be comfortable.

Me: Haha, I'd love that.

Will: I'd love that too. I bought lunch, Finn and I are on our way so you can come to our room.

Me: Yay, food! I'm going there now.

I text him back and take the lift to the floor above mine. Their room has two rooms inside, connected to it so it's much bigger than mine, all those types of rooms are on the next floor. I reach their room just as Will and Finn make their way over here.

We finish our lunch, spaghetti Bolognese in ten minutes. Finn had eaten two plates and is now looking like he wants to throw up.

"Remi," Will hands me a bakery bag. "I thought you'd want something foni to eat."

"There, you used it correctly-" I look inside the paper bag, my eyes light up too see a macaron box inside. "You remembered!" I exclaim like a child that got her birthday present.

"Of course I remembered! I bought your favourite flavour vanilla-"

I interrupt Will by hugging him. "You. Are. The. Best." I say and let go of him. I think I'm falling more in love with him than I was before.
