Hey...it's you (Completed)

Chapter 8

Reign's POV:

I lay awake in bed staring at the sealing. The clock says 9am but I'm not making a move to get up. I've been trying to figure out why I invited Akieno into my room last night. I have a boyfriend so it probably came off weird and wrong. Shit, I'm so embarrassed! When he was so close to me to ask why I invited him in, I felt tingles all over my body like electric sparks...

I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. I really don't wanna leave my room today cause what if I bump into him? Would we be awkward with each other now? Would he ignore me? I swing my feet off my bed and head off to the bathroom to take a shower. After cleaning myself up, I dress up in a cute blue spaghetti strap sundress and black sandles with my pitch black hair in a ponytail.

After one last check in the mirror, I sit back on my bed and realize I'll be bored the entire day if I stay in here. Why not check up on Blake? It's been two days since I've been in Paris and I do miss him. He answered on the 3rd ring as always. "Hey babe, how's it going in Paris?", he asked cheerfully. " It's okay, just miss you." I could hear the engine of his car, his probably on his way to work. "Babe I'm driving to work right now, can I call you later?". I flipped back on my bed. "Yeah sure, love you", as I was saying 'love you', I suddenly heard a female's voice in the background mimicking the way I said "love you". I immediately sat up. "Blake, who is with you?", I asked. "No one baby, it..it was just the radio haha", he rushed out. "Blake tell me right now who the fu-", "sorry baby gotta go, I'm driving remember, okay bye babe". He hung up. He fucking hung up. The room felt like it was spinning and my blood felt like it was boiling. Is he cheating on me? I really don't want to believe it but what proof do I have that his not cheating?

After overthinking the 6 years I've been with Blake and the voice I heard in his car, I started crying. This was too much for me. A knock suddenly came from my door. I hurriedly wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and opened the door. "Hey, sorry for bothering you so ear-", Akieno stopped talking when he saw my face. "Why are you crying? Are you okay, did something happen?", he asked me all those questions at once. I just shook my head. "No I'm okay", I lied. He came inside and closed the door behind him. "Reign I can see you're not okay. If you don't want to tell me what happened then you don't have to but, let me at least be here to make sure you're okay". I just nodded my head as consent that he can stay. We sat on the edge of my bed as silent tears still escaped my eyes and I hastily wiped them off.

"I...I think Blake..is cheating on me", I uttered. I was looking at the ground as I said it. I felt Akieno's finger under my chin tilting my head up. "His clearly a fucking idiot". I gave a sad smile at his words. "I...I just don't know what I'm going to do without him. He has made me cut off my friends, my aunt and uncle that raised me after my parents died, and every other person that he felt was going to manipulate me". I started sobbing louder. Akieno stretched his arms out to me and made me cry into his neck as he held me. "Reign...you're not gonna like hearing this, but its obvious that his been the one manipulating you this entire time, that he went so far to cut you off from everyone else so he can be the only person you go to and rely on". After he said that, it's like a light bulb switched on inside my head and I just realized the truth. "Fuck, your right. I've been so stupid!"I shouted and slammed backwards into the bed with my hands covering my face. Then I felt him move my hands away. "Hey, You're not stupid, you were just blinded by love", he said softly. My tears has stopped now and his hands was still on mine, softly rubbing my knuckles.

As he was looking into my eyes which felt more like he was looking into my soul, I lifted myself up from my bed and smashed my lips to his.
