What's with the hoodie and hat?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"I gotta hide my identity" he replied
"What you escaped from prison again?" I asked "they should just build a titanium cell" I joked, a smile creeping onto my face.
He chuckled, smirking down at me.
"I mean they could. But I'd still get out" he mocked, shrugging
"You're so full of yourself" I laughed
"Its like nothing ever changed" he said, relating to our banter.
"Apart from disappearing for three months and not telling me why" I said sarcastically, instantly regretting the words as they left my mouth.
He shifted in his seat, letting out a sigh.
"Sweetheart, however much you hate me....I'll always care about you. I did it to keep you safe, from everything....especially me. I fuck everything up. That's how it's always been. And the one good thing that happens in a long time, I fuck that up too." He said softly
His words tugged at my heart.
"I don't hate you" I said, shaking my head.
His head snapped in my direction
"What?" He challenged.
I shrugged.
"Can you repeat that for the people in the back" he joked
"Shut up" I smiled, shoving his arm.
"Hey!" He smirked, rubbing the area I hit.
"Aww, do you want me to kiss it better?" I mocked, pouting.
"Yeah, but not where it hurts" he teased.
"You cheeky bastard" laughed, slapping his chest.
"Ouch! Stop, stop. Stop" he chuckled, trying to fight me off, keeping one eye on the road.
"Or what?" I challenged.
"Oh you really want to find out?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah" I said matching his tone
"You are so dead when this is over" he chuckled, looking down at me.
"Cant wait" I said sarcastically, before turning to look out the window, trying to figure out where were going.
