Blue Hour

03.

Damon's POV

I walked into Kat's room which was unlocked. The light on the corridor peeked through the slightly opened door on to the curled up figure in bed. I smiled to myself knowing she's pretending to sleep.

I slowly walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. I lifted the sheets curling up next to her before my hands travelled to slightly grab the guns on her belt. She didn't move the slightest bit so I leaned over and move closer to her ear. "You're such a great actress babe." I whispered.

She was shocked by my sudden visit to her room, she flipped around sitting up straight in on the bed. Man she's cute!

"Explanation. Now! " She demanded with her eyes widened. She was still wearing the clothes we wore out for the mission. She probably heard my footsteps and jumped onto the bed.

"Soo your brother and your sisters boyfriend were waiting in the kitchen when we were sneaking in and you brother was quite worried about your sisters state."

"Obviously! How is she now?" She asked.

"Donno." I replied. "Haley kinda had to reveal our identity" I stopped. That was a lot of family surprised for one night.

"Soo?" She asked. I loved those questioning eyes she gave me.

"Oh uh...." I forgot what the real purpose of my arrival here was. "I think she need some time to talk to them. She asked me to check up on you."

"Oh!" That was an oh that had no proper idea to it. For the few months I've known her one thing I will never be questioning is her love for her sister. She wasn't suppose to go on the mission tonight but no, she's willing to die for her sister.

I place a soft kiss on her lips.

"What was that about?" She asked as a smile made its way to her face.

"Just because." I said still admiring her face. "By the way it's pretty late. Will it be okay if I stay here tonight."

"Now that Chris knows I guess that's no problem." I gave me a mischievous smile.

"Okay then." I stood up. The room was still dark. Non of us bothered to turn on the lights

"First lemme just change into something else. I smell like cheese that's been left out for a while."

"I like cheese."

"Yh but this one smells like its starting to rot." She pushed me back giggling and made her way to the bath room leaving me in the dark room.

Haley's POV

I dragged myself upstairs and into my bed room. I only switch on one of the lights so the room is still a bit dark.I liked it that way. Reminded me the world can't always be bright. I pulled off my jacket then taking out the guns strapped onto my belt. I didn't have to use them. They were just kids, but still I had several cuts on my arms, a bruised lip and was punched in the ribs. I think we did a little bit more damage to them than they did to us. They were all unconscious when we left.

I stepped into the hot shower letting the water roll over my body. I looked down at the floor noticing all the blood at my feet. My own blood from the bruises. Water has always been healing.

I got into a pair of shorts and a baggy shirt and came out of the bathroom.

"Come on. Let me take a look at those cuts." I know that beautiful voice. He took my hand holding it slightly like I was so fragile. He made me sit on my bed. I was always strong. Emotionally strong, which gives me an unexplainable strength to keep fight. Stronger than most people in this house and they know it. But to him, I was always fragile than a thin glass. To the world I was that broken glass scattered on the ground that everyone was scared to touch afraid of being hurt. But to him it was as if he didn't mind bleeding as long as he could fix me and hold me in his arms. He touches me in a why I could never put into words. I didn't look at him. I couldn't do that anymore. How could I? I've been hiding these things from him for so long.

"Did that hurt?" He asked while applying the ointment. He looked at me with his beautiful dark brow eyes and it almost seemed like nothing ever happened, it felt like how a father would ask his daughter if her day at kindergarten was nice. I wanted to cry seeing him looking at me like this. Yes. He is a mafia. In fact one of the most trained aces in the game. Yet he's that little boy to us.

I shook my head "No." And he goes back to focusing on the bandaid.

"Kayden?" I spoke, softer than I expected.

"Hm?" He was still focused.

"Aren't you mad at me?" He looked at me, slowly putting away the stuff.

"Being mad at you can't undo the fact that I have kissed my boss now can it?" I swear he'd have this humour in him on his death bead. A weak smile made its way onto my lips as continued. "No love. I'll never be mad at you for that." He pushed a strand of hair off my face.

He hugged me. Tears start rolling down my cheeks as I buried my face in his chest. This is what safety feels like. Him. He was the safest place I could ever run to.

"I'm sorry~" I cried. "I'm sorry I didn't tell u. I know you guys would't let me do this if you knew I was a Mafia. I'm sorry Kayden. I-"

"Hey. Hey... stop. No it's okay. Listen...." He pulled away wiping my tears. He wasn't joking. "You think I would't have done that if my dad died infront of me? I don't care if I was 16 or 10 I would have gone after them too. For all I know right now you're so brave and I never thought Kat could do that either" I let out a little giggle whipping off some tears with my hand. "I mean you guys walk around the place like little angels but... woah!" His last expression was meant to make me laugh..

I don't want him to think I'm this strong girl who is so independent that she doesn't need anyone in her life. "But Kayden...." How am I suppose to say this. "It hunts me, Every time. I still want to be that little angel. I still want you to think I'm that innocent little girl you met years ago. Like I need to be protected even if I can handle myself. I want you to kiss me before I fall asleep every night. I just-"

He slammed his lips against mine. I slowly stood up kissing him back. Our lips kept moving against each other until we both completely ran out of breath. Our lips still against each other. We broke apart, our foreheads still touching each other and we smiled breathing heavily.

"Anything you want princess. You're mine anyway." He said with his beautiful deep voice.

A comfortable silence fell in and I place my hands over his shoulder and he pulled me closer. Not that we had much space left.

"I assumed by your movements earlier by any chance did those guards punch you in the ribs?"

"Yeah." I breathed leaning my head against his chest.

"That must hurt a bit."

"Hm..." I was getting drowsy by the minute. I might fall asleep standing, he was soo warm and it felt soo safe.

"You should get some sleep love." I nod. "You wanna come to my room or you want me to stay here?"

"It's basically the same thing babe." I smiled looking at his face as he effortlessly lift me up the walking to my bed. He lay down next to me and I moved closed to him snuggling into his chest.

"I love you~" I whispered with my eyes closed. I felt his slight kiss on top of my head.

"I love you more!"
