unexpected -Dane DeHaan fanfiction-

Chapter 71

Kim's Point Of View

Two weeks came and went leaving me utterly happy due to Dane's easy recovery but apart from happiness I was exhausted emotionally and mentally. I didn't dare let him see my fatigue because I knew he'd only blame himself and all he really needed right now was assurance and trust.

- Kim - Dane tugged at the sleeve of my sweater. I smiled at his childish action as I tightened my grip on his hand to make him aware of my attention towards his brewing question.

- yes -

- this elevator is incredibly slow - he said while pushing the "1" button on the marble wall. The edges of my mouth curved upward as I watched him anxiously wait for the elevator to arrive on our floor.

- I can hear you smiling -

- you can "hear" me smiling - I asked.

- I can because I have superpowers - he held both my hands as he faced me.

- wow, I'm soooooooo... not impressed -

- you want to be impressed. I can easily impress you - he neared closer. His minty breath could be felt across my face as he put an arm around my waist and pulled my dangerously close to his face.

- ready to be impressed - he whispered. I stood motionless with my hands to my sides inhaling, living, breathing this moment. I desperately wanted him to "impress" me but the elevator doors unexpectedly opened and there stood a family watching us. Dane quickly took my hand and lead me out the elevator with a red tint to his cheeks just like I.

- I was deeply impressed by the way - I whispered into his ear making his smile grown wider.

- fudge you - he said as we stepped out into the world hand in hand. The wind was fairly calm today unlike yesterday.

Dane inhaled deeply letting the fresh air into his system. I watched him absorb the sunlight like it was his favorite food.

- are you happy to be going home - I asked him.

- that depends -

- depends on what - I was intrigued by what he was referring to.

- what's home - he said adding fuel to my fire. By fire, it was my curiosity.

- why don't you tell me what home is -

- home is where you are - Dane said with much honesty but then again, what did I know about honesty especially with his current situation.

- do you say that because you know I don't like it here - I asked.

- no -

After that he switched the subject every time I tried to bring it up so I opted to leaving all my questions in the back of my mind. The drive back to our hotel was oddly short.

- when can I drive again - he asked.

- in two weeks. Doctors orders - I reminded him as walked up the stairs from the parking basement of the hotel.

- what can I do then - he asked as we walked into the the red and gold decorated lobby.

- you can sleep -

- sleeping is for sick people, I'm not sick - he added. I wanted to tell him he was mentally sick but it still wasn't the time to open up those treacherous doors that led to nothing but arguments.

- you can take walks by yourself if you want. If I were you though I'd be pretty excited to take a break from the Hollywood lifestyle - I tried to comfort him. - it's not all that bad, you'll see -

- you're right, it's not all bad. I can spend leisure time with you, take you out on dates, hold you - he picked me up by my waist and spun me around. - make you smile, laugh... -

- relive our lovestruck teenage days? - I asked.

- oh Kim, as long as your mine that's a guarantee in our future - he pushed our foreheads together.

- that's a big promise Dane -

- let's talk about this in our room. People are being nosy - he said in a hushed tone as he pointed it out. I looked around our surroundings and found that some employees were staring at us.

- are you okay walking up the stairs? The elevator is sure to be crowded with people at this time -

He nodded so we slowly made our way up to our suite where he immediately pushed the both of us in.

- sorry for pushing you in like that. I just hate the way people were looking at us - he whispered.

- it's okay but why are we whispering? -

- sorry, I get so paranoid at times - he spoke in his regular voice. He let go of my hand and took off his grey jacket placing it on the coat rack in a neat manner. I mimicked his actions and followed him to the living room that instantly flooded my mind with bitter memories and thoughts.

- Kim? - Dane looked at me with a confused look. - everything okay -

- yeah, I got lost in thought. What did you need -

- nothing I was just reminding you that Jared will be coming over in about an hour. Are you sure you're okay - he asked me once again but this time he walked closer to me and placed a hand on my cheek.

- I'm just a little distracted. No need to worry - I raised my hand to my cheek and placed it on top of his.

- I don't believe you, how could I be so naive. Look at you, your eyes are struggling to stay awake. Your cheeks have no color. You're even paler than me -

- believe me, I'm fine. Yes I am a little tired but who isn't. Go shower and change so I can give you your medication - I looked deeply into his eyes and saw genuine concern.

- you'd tell me if anything was wrong, right? - he asked.

- I would, I do, promise. Would you tell me if you weren't okay... -

- I know it's hard to believe from someone who almost overdosed but yes, I promise to tell you if anything happens - he said.

- good, it's settled then, nothing but the truth from here on out - I pulled closer into his chest.

- nothing but the truth - he hugged me tightly.

Somehow I knew we had just both told lies and this was just the beginning of the end.
So, I messed up because this is actually more of two books put together. Don't be surprised if this story goes up to one hundred and something parts before keep in mind this is book one and two combined together because the author was foolish enough to not notice the mistake. Sorry :[
