COLLATERAL CORA

Cora

"Baby"

I heard a whisper.

I arch my brows in my sleep.

"Baby wake up"

The very familiar voice whispered again waking me slightly.

My mind is playing with me again.

I shifted on my bed, my eyes still closed.

"Baby? It's me Hunter"

Opening my eyes the minute I heard his voice loud and clear, I see him right in front of me looking down at me with a smile.

I can't tell the excitement in my heart right now.

"Hun.... Hunter?"

He nod smiling at me. "Yes baby. It's me"

I couldn't help but smile as I look around my surrounding. I am in my room.

Nadia is still asleep and letting out snores as usual.

And he is right here?

How?

With furrowed brows, I look back at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"How did you....?" I asked

"Don't worry about that baby. What matters is, I am here and I am taking you with me"

My heart fluttered with excitement hearing him say that.

"I have missed you so much beautiful"

My cheeks heat up hearing him call me beautiful like he always do.

"I missed you too Hunter"

He smiled at me as he caressed my cheek.

"Come on let's go" he said taking hold of my hand.

I get off the bed and on my feet. He led the way, walking around my bed and then Nadia's bed. I stared at her as she slept.

She hasn't made a move or anything but just sleeping soundly.

Geez she sleep so deep.

I wish I could say goodbye. She has been nice to me. I am going to miss her.

Iris too.

But I have to go. I don't want to stay here anymore. I am finally leaving with Hunter.

Thank you so much God.

Reaching outside my room, something struck my mind.

Sky!

Oh no I forgot about him.

"What's wrong?" Hunter asked the minute I held back.
