Silent Lovers

Chapter 8

Felix

Hours have gone by, at least four and a half hours. I was waiting anxiously for any news. My legs bounced with anticipation as I sat on the seat outside of the surgery room.

I don't know what it is, but fuck. I'm scared.

I've never been scared like this before so what the hell is happening to me. There was a tightening pain in my chest. Get your shit together Felix.

I gripped my own arms, not feeling any pain, I ignored the red scratch that was forming under my fingers.

Nothing bad will happen. Rues is good at what he does, things will be alright.

"Relax, she will be fine." Arden saw the tension in me.

"You don't know that." I mumbled back.

"Arden is right, just have more hope in Rues." Sebastian said.

Maybe I was just overthinking the situation. Overthinking? I never overthink, I know what's right and what's wrong. But right now, I can't decide whether things will go right or wrong. I just want to see my little flower.

The double door swung open and walking out was Atlas and Rues. We were all waiting for an update, I sprung up and walked towards them.

Rues pulled down his mask and began speaking. "The surgery was unsuccessful...I'm sorry."

At that moment, I wanted to punch him. I clenched my fist in anger. But I didn't know why, it felt like I was drunk and not thinking straight.

"What's going to happen to her now?" Arden questioned, sounding calm, but I knew he was just as angry as I was.

"We are rectifying the situation right now. I'm not sure how it will go but we will keep you updated soon, I have to get back to surgery after I put away this paper." He said as he pulled his mask back up.

"Get your ass back into surgery." I seethed as I blocked him from walking any further into his office.

"Felix." Atlas warned.

"You can put that paper away later, go back into the damn surgery room and finish so I can see my little flower." I continued to glare at Rues as I noticed the slight fear in his eyes.

He nodded hesitantly and turned back around and into the surgery room with Atlas. I plopped back down on the seat and continued my stress.

"How long is this going to take? I want to see her..." I mumbled.

"A couple more hours, you're not the only one." Arden answered my question. He sat down beside me and rested his head against the wall.

"Now I see why you three are so obsessed with her." Sebastian chuckled. "How far have you gotten with her?"

"Cuddling—" I was cut off when Arden started speaking.

"I kissed her." He said.

"You what?!" I called out, I looked over at him, my eyes wide and mouth agape. "When?!"

"This morning." He answered, a smile forming on his face.

"You didn't force yourself on her did you?" Sebastian questioned.

"Of course I didn't, I'm crazy but not that crazy. She wanted to...she wanted us in control..." Arden's voice began to grow deeper. "She likes being praised and a natural submissive. Fuck, she's so easy to read." Arden groaned and crossed his legs to hide the growing bulge in his pants.

"Fuck you." I mumbled to him as my jaw clenched in jealousy. I wanted to be her first. I planned on kissing her this morning on our walk earlier today but I held back because it was too early. But I didn't think Arden would make the first move.
