Chapter 29

*** Akali POV ***

I wake up early, lifting myself with a hazy vision. I glance over to my side to see that (Y/N) is still in a deep sleep. I drag myself over to him as I rest my head on his shoulder, speaking in a whisper.

"I kind of don't want to wake you up but also want to tell you that I am going to have to go and talk to Ahri today," pressing my lips together as I wait. No response.

 I then lift myself as I press a kiss against his cheek and then roll out of bed, walking to the kitchen I notice that Conrad is sitting at the counter with shut eyes. I then walk past him towards the kettle as I ask.

"Is the water still-" feeling the tips of my hand being burned off, "Tch... never mind."

"Oh, good morning."

"Sleep well?" I ask as I make myself a cup of tea.

"Kinda. Feel like I have been sleeping the entire time," he yawns, "And you? Didn't think you'd be up so soon."

"Got to go and talk to the girls," I state, "Got a lot to talk about considering everything that has happened."

"Does that include dating someone younger than you?"

"Why does that need to matter?" I ask him.

"No reason," he yawns again, "Just wondering if that is something they would pick up on and ask questions about."

I then nod as I sit across from him, "Fair enough - I almost thought you were going to start trying to tell me about how much I am leading him on, that I am just using him because I want attention and that I don't really love him."

"I was looking out for him," he states, "Dudes that are starved for love don't care how they get, just that they get it."

I lift my shoulders, "I like him. End of story."

He smiles, "I know. I am happy for him."

"Sure you aren't jealous?"

"Why are you tearing into me?"

"Kind of feel like getting revenge."

"Because I was looking out for him?"

"Because you were a pain in the ass."

"You don't like pain in the ass?"

I narrow my gaze at him, he snickers as I clearly know what he was talking about, "Watch yourself, I might go back to ignoring you."

"Sorry. Crude jokes are my bread and butter."

"Does crossing the line with someone's girlfriend also fall into that category?"

"No," from his voice along I can tell that makes him a bit angry.

"Just making sure," I am being hard on him, mainly because I expect that from him.

I don't care if I am being hard on him but this is mostly just to keep him in place. The last thing I want is to be friendly with him and play along with his stupid jokes only for it to make (Y/N) jealous. Maybe I am being too aware, maybe I am overthinking it.
