Caim

55 | invasion

Miliani's POV

it's been two whole weeks since I found out the truth about Caim. two weeks since I last saw him and to be honest It doesn't bother me. he doesn't know that I know about his secret and I would like to keep it that way. I don't want to have any interaction with him. 

"Hey mili" Karl kissed me on my forehead before sitting down beside me. He's been too protective of me and Ailey ever since he found about the mafia and Caim. He's been on edge everytime we hear anyone talking about Caim or Lucas.

"Hey" I said with my mouth full of fries. I was famished, not eating breakfast was a bad choise on my side. He laughed at me before stealing one fry from my plate.

"Hey! Don't steal my food. Go get your own" I said and yanked the fry out of his hand and putting in my mouth. Nothing can go wrong with fried potatoes. I closed my eyes and relished the food when someone grabbed my hand.

My eyes snapped open to see who it was. I couldn't help but yank my arm away when I saw it was Caim. He looked bad, his eyes have sunken a little, hair dishevelled. I couldn't help but think about the picture I saw in my laptop, the blonde hair and blue eyes.

My mind went back to Layla and how she was so very happy to recieve a gift from this guy. The way she described his white blonde hair to be magical and out of this world. His eyes that shines so bright when hit with the sunrays.

I can see all of that, i have seen all of that. Thats the reason why I fell for him. Eyes, his eyes that speak so much volume than his words. Expressionless yet gives away every emotion he's feeling.

"I need to talk to you" he said. His voice was raspy like he has not used it in a while. I looked at him, i could see the plea in his eyes but i wasnt going to get fooled once again. I wont do the mistake of trusting him again.

"There's nothing to talk. Leave" i told him before sitting down on my chair. He followed me and sat down from across me. Karl was getting agitated, his fists were clenched tight and a frown formed on his lips. He didn't like Caim sitting here but he was afraid now that he has seen what Caim is capable of.

"Please, miliani. I really need to talk to you" his hand moved forward to touch mine but before it did i pulled back my hand and curled them in my lap.

It isn't easy to be so close to Caim and not touch him. He's been the only source of warmth when I was cold and now pulling away from him feels like ripping away a body part. My heart was beating fast to see him here, in front of me, so close.

I was only a breath away to pull him in and kiss him. I wanted to but forgiving him would mean betraying Layla and I can't do that.

"Just go Caim. I don't want to talk to you. You've said enough to last me a fucking lifetime. So please just go and do not bother me again" i looked into his eyes. "You've lied enough" i swear of every celestial being that I saw Caim flinching away from what i said.

His body jerked back, he looked tired and spent. I swallowed the worry, he doesn't deserve it.

"I..just please...i need to tell you something" his eyes reddened a little. By now I can feel every single pair of eyes on us. Nobody wants to miss a free show.

"Whatever, it's probably going to be another lie" i hissed. I saw his jaw clenching and fists closing.

"Do not fucking behave like you haven't lied to me before" he said it so slowly that his words almost sound slurred but they hit home. They hit exactly where he was intending to aim.

"Miliani, i know what i did is wrong but that doesn't mean that you haven't kept shit from me." His eyes held anger. A desperate need to prove his point.
