from the start

chapter 27: Autumn

I was laying down on my bed about to take a nap when Kai walked in. I did not bother moving.
Not because I was angry at him but because I didn't know if I should.
"Darling?"he said shaking my shoulder lightly to see if I was awake.
"Yes?" I didn't face him but he stopped shaking.
"Let's talk" he sounded soft almost pleading.
"I don't want to right now"I say stubbornly.
"Please" I wasn't looking but I could feel his sad gaze on me.
I sigh,"tomorrow please, I want to sleep"I lie. I did want to talk to him, I wasn't ready. I still had questions.
Who sent Ellianna to him?
Why?
What is there business with him?
Who was this person?
He silently agreed and played down next to me,his hand grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to his body, I could feel his body frame on mine.
"I am so sorry" he says after a few minutes, he kisses my neck slightly and goes to bed.
...
The next morning I woke up to Kai pacing back and forth in my room.
"Finally you are awake" he jogged to my side and sat on the bed "did you meet Ellianna yesterday?" That was straightforward.
I hesitated not knowing why he cared, "yes"
"I don't want you to meet her again" he orders gently.
"Why?"I spoke with a hint of irritation.yhe only reason I was even talking to her was for him but he didn't know that.
"See it from my perspective. Would you like to see me with Augustus" he said rubbing my shoulder.
A ball slid down my throat at the mention of Gus, it prevented me from speaking so I just looked at him blankly.
He took his hand and brushed it through my hair "please" he begged.
"Fine"I spat finally, I jad gotten all the information she could offer anyway "how did you know I went there." I asked not entirely curious.
"I was... Told" he said simply.
I didn't push it and left the case. Our relationship started feeling strained and tiring.
I will set it right as soon as I find out who that old lady who meet Ellianna was.
"Autumn can I... Hug you?" Kai asked vulnerable.
I nodded,"of course sweetheart you can always hug me when ever you need to,come here"
I knew I was not the only one facing things I couldn't tell him in this relationship and I also knew they I would be there for him no matter what.
He pulls me close to him, wrapping his hands around me in a tight embrace,I might have needed the hug more than he did,he strokes my hair softly as he rest his head on my shoulder.
"I am sorry. I would explain everything to you once I understand what is going on"he whispers in my ear. And all I do is not not wanting to let go of him.
I felt comfort when I was with him,like all my troubles melted away even though it was temporarily.
