Still Stuck Out in the Same Old Storm ~ sokeefe story

Chapter 15

Sophie's P.O.V

We slept out at Callas tree. I honestly sleep way better when I have Keefe beside me.

He was still fast asleep. Edaline had come out and set us up with some blankets and pillows last night after we spent the rest of the day just talking and the more he talks the more I worry. The council will probably question him today and I'm scared how all this is going to effect him.

He's still asleep, he has his arms wrapped around my waist. It's still early and I know it won't be long before Grady will be out on the pastures. But I'm just so tired. So I cuddle in further and lean my head on his chest and let myself drift back to sleep.

*Time skip*

"Biana, I'm not doing this."

"You are."

"I'm not."

"Me neither."

"I'm definitely doing it."

"Thank you at least someone knows how to fully appreciate when your ship s-."

I stir as I hear voices. "Uh....hello?"

I remove myself from Keefe and sit up. He starts to wake up and rubs his eyes sleepily.

Biana, Fitz, Tam and Linh were here. I flush pink.

Biana and Linh were smirking, Fitz was slightly awkward looking and Tam.....Tam was just himself.

"Hey Soph." Biana and Linh make their way over to me.

And the boys start poking a half asleep Keefe as he just groans sleepily.

I resist the urge to laugh.

"Sophie!" Grady was coming over, with Bronte right behind him. "Bronte wants to talk to Keefe."

"Already?!"

Keefe was sitting up now, he was pale and looked like he was about to get sick.

"Well," Bronte interrupts "I'm afraid it's not about your father at this minute, that might have to wait till tomorrow depending on how everything goes."

I glance at Keefe, confused "take what?" I ask

"There's been some developments, you could say and Keefe has to be the first we tell."

"Developments?" his voice was shaky "what do you mean?"

"Mr. Sencen I'm afraid questions are going to have to wait. We don't fully know ourselves yet so we can't just give away information we're not sure about."

Now I'm even more confused. "I'm coming too." I say immediately.

"Ms. Foster with all due respect. No your not."

"It's fine Foster." Keefe says, his ice blue eyes meeting mine.

"It's not fine. I'm coming."

"Foster," he says gently "it's fine. I'm fine. Honest."

He stood up. We hadn't got changed out of the clothes from yesterday so he brushed them off and ran his hands through his hair.

"See you guys." He flashes a forced smile.

He leant down and placed a quick kiss on my forehead. "Bye."

"Love you." I reply softly.

"Love you too."

He walks over to Bronte, Grady gives him a quick pat on the shoulder.

We all watch confusedly as they stepped into the light.

"What the hell?"
