Ending Silence

Chapter 41

Morgan's POV

I walk down the hallway, excited to see Sage and tell him about the bird that flew into my window this morning.

"Morgan!" I turn, seeing who could be calling me. I curse when I see Luna running over to me.

"Shit, shit, shit.." I mumble, trying to think of an excuse to run but she's now in front of me and I'm too late.

"What?" I mumble, and she smiles. "How have you been?" She asks instead, and I shrug. "Amazing" I mutter. "Well, I wanted to say hi". "Okay, bye now!" I smile, turning but she grabs my arm.

"Wait-" I groan. "I'm sorry about what I said" Luna mumbles. "Okay," I nod. "Okay?"

"Okay, I'm acknowledging the fact you are apologising," I tell her, and she frowns. "But do you forgive me?" "Of course not".

Luna frowns, looking down at the ground. "Jess broke up with me" She chuckles sadly. Now it makes sense why she's talking to me. "How heartbreaking" I gasp, and she rolls her eyes.

"Come on Morgan, don't be dramatic. It was a little fight" Luna scowls, and I scoff. "Look! Jess is coming over!" I gasp, and she snaps her head around. I run.

I don't stop till I get to Sage's office. I accidentally slam the door closes, pressing my back to it as I pant, out of breath.

Sage looks up from his work, confused and a bit concerned. "Ran into Luna" I explain simply, and he nods. I push off the door, walking over to him. "Jess dumped her. So naturally, she came running back to me. Had to run for my life" I say, and he smiles a bit.

Standing behind his desk, I grab his face in my hands before leaning in. I stop just before our lips touch, grinning as I kiss his forehead instead.

I go to pull away, but he grabs my hips and pulls me onto his lap. Laugh, I cup his face again and kiss him properly this time.

I smile at him once we pull away, while he stares at me blankly. His hands slip under the back of my shirt, and he started gently rubbing my back.

"You tired?" I ask him, and he nods a bit. "Did you get much sleep?" I ask next, and he shakes his head. Frowning slightly, I lean in and kiss his forehead. "Stay with me tonight," I tell him, and he smiles a bit, nodding his head.

I stand up off his lap, about to go head over to his couch instead, but he turns me and pulls me back onto his lap, so my back is against his chest.

"Sage you need to work" I laugh while his arms tighten around my stomach. He rests his head on my shoulder, turning and placing a gentle kiss on my neck.

He stretches an arm out and grabs his computer mouse. He clicks a few things before an image of a big house pops up.

It's a gorgeous cabin house, surrounded by tall green trees. It's massive, so I think cabin mansion is the better term

"Who's house is that?" I ask him, wondering why he's showing me this.

"Potentially ours. If you want it" He whispers in my ear, before placing another gentle kiss on my neck.

"What?" I mumble, not believing my ears. This-..gorgeous house could be ours?..

"You like it?" Sage asks, and I slowly nod my head. "Of course- Of course, I love it- it's fucking massive" I mumble, and he laughs quietly into my neck.

"It's secluded" Sage whispers. "Has a big lake just outside it. The house is quite big, but we can easily add to it if we want. It's surrounded by trees..nobody nearby..just us" Sage mumbles, and I smile. It sounds like a dream.
