The Genie's Curse

Chapter 40

Tsuru grabbed the bed sheets, crumbling them in her hands, "I do deserve it, I can take it and he can't do anything about it. I can make him see I was so much worth it. When he regrets ever making those choices..."

"One thing at a time Tsuru, as much as you want to take revenge. You've got a few memory issues to deal with first. We've got the tickets to Arabia, and you've got a date with historical places. After that, and only after that, will we deal with Keir, remember your health is more important." Allon was being the voice of reason in the situation, giving her that knowing glance and ushering her to take it slow, "So if you want any of that I suggest getting back in Keme's good side."

Tsuru clasped a hand against her thigh. Surely if she spoke to him he'd forgive her, "Where is he now?"

"Well, I left him in the living room." Allon said, seeing her look at the door with determination, "Go speak to him then."

Just as he said she got up and marched to the door, opening it and walking through the hall to reach Keme. Yet her ears filled with the sound of a car engine. It sounded so close she picked up her pace only to find the living room empty.

"Keme?" Her voice called out as her eyes searched around, puzzling together the car she heard and his disappearance. Far too late to see him leave when she walked outside, "Is he really that angry?" She questioned lowering her eyes to the phone she had kept in her pocket, "Allon!"

Moving back to her room she had also begun calling Keme's number and holding it up to her ear, "Answer me." She mentally spoke to herself, finding Allon right in front of her with a questioning glance.

Allon lifted his shoulders in question as she mouthed the words, "He's gone."

Hearing a voice on the phone, Tsuru spoke, "Hello, Keme, come back we need to talk... hello?"

Allon took the phone from her and heard it go to voicemail. Hanging up, he nearly threw the phone aside, "Go to your room I'll find the way to contact him."

"I'm not going-"

"Go to your room, I'll go get you when I've talked to him." Allon's eyes shifted back to the phone beginning to type as he walked past her repeating once more, "Go to your room, Tsuru."

Tsuru didn't really have a say and walked back to her room as Allon texted Keme to come back, or at least answer his calls. Man, it was like a couple texting one another crazy for being left on read.

Grabbing his own phone and calling him thankful for hearing him answer, "Keme!"

"Hello, Allon, what did she say? To go suck it?"

"No, in fact, she's going to Arabia, even started looking for you." Allon tried explaining, hearing Keme's hoarse voice.

"Oh goodie she's back in a good mood, I give it two weeks before she's moody again. No, I'm giving her too much credit, one week tops."

Allon pulled at his black hair rolling his eyes. "So what if she does. Weren't you going to stick by her side?"

The silence was heard on the other end for a while until finally, he spoke up, "I'll send you the tickets to Arabia... but I'm not going, maybe I'll go a few days after you two... I just... I just don't know..."

"Give it thought, I can't handle her alone." Allon looked toward the hall as if expecting Tsuru to be there. Hearing Keme laughing at the other end.

"You sound to be handling her fine, sure don't smash her head into anything again. Do that and you'll be a knight in shining armor for her." Hanging up on him after that not waiting for any type of response.
