Chapter 23

Bexley

When I came out of the bathroom I didn't see Kai but I saw the office door was closed so I assumed he was using it to change or something. I walked to the giant mirror and began looking at my back to see how I can hide the scars on my upper back, the ones on my upper back we burn scars and cuts from the knife and whip. I didn't hear when Kai opened the door to the office until he appeared in the mirror infront of me, his eyes slid from head to toe stopping directly to the scars on my back and belly and legs.
"Who did that to you?" He asked his eyes looked almost black with anger. I dropped my hair quickly to cover what I could, I kept my eyes low but I knew I couldn't ignore him for long.
"As I said, he was worse than people imagined." I said as I turned to walk outside. Kai didn't say anything as we walked outside but I could feel as his eyes examined the scars. He had seemed upset, I honestly don't know much about him but he seemed to know a lot about me. Before I could climb into the pool, Kai grabbed my waist lifting me into the pool and I accidently squealed a bit causing him to let out a laugh. When he climbed in, I splashed him.
"That wasn't funny." I said smiling.
"Oh yeah, what about this?" He said as he swept me off my feet and dunked me under. I happened to catch his hand yanking him down with me, we both laughed as we came up from under the water.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked as I swam around. He looked at me curiously.
"I guess why not." He said while he shrugged and swam around.
"Actually I have a few. If that's okay?" I asked. He nodded.
"Why are you nice to me? Why do I trust you?" I asked. He stared at me processing what I had asked.
"I don't know why you trust me. I mean you no harm, my job is to protect you. So maybe, just maybe you trust me because you know you can. I'm nice to you for more than one reason. One you're nice to me. Two you're a good person. Three you deserve to have someone who is nice to you." He said.
"Why do you care about me and what happens to me? What will happen when I have to go back?" I asked without responding to his answers, I don't want to get side tracked.

"I know you Bexley. You're an amazing person, I know if you weren't Veyron wouldn't hangout with you. As for when you go back, I am working on a plan. I don't want you to go back and as long as I'm alive you wont go back but I really need you to trust me because to prevent you from going back I may have to make you question if you can trust me. I can promise you can always trust me." He said sincerely.
"What do you mean make me question the trust I have for you?" I asked curiously.
"You may have to go back just so you can come back, I don't know if that makes sense. I am going to hit him where it hurts but it will take time and knowledge." He said slightly scaring me.
"Okay so how about this. You know me, you seem to know me well. Do I know you? Tell me something about you." I asked curiously.
"You do and you'll figure out how soon enough. I'm complex. I prefer solitude and have a deep sense of loyalty but I often catch cues that others may have missed. My favorite color is orange." He said smiling. I now knew five new things about him, at least if I didn't know him then I'd get to know him. We swam for a few hours laughing and horse playing when we both heard something. A strange car pulled into the driveway at just that time and Kai quickly pulled me out of the pool and had me hide inside the garage while he dealt with it. I waited until he opened the door and let me know it was safe.
"I ordered something but didn't know who would bring it so this was more for your safety just in case Declan where you were or something." He said with a small smile.
"What did you order?" I asked, I was definitely curious now.
"Go throw on some clothes and I'll show you." He said smiling so I ran to the bedroom and started looking for clothes. I had a new set, the top was a rose-burgundy colored half button placket crop top and the bottoms were rose-burgundy colored drawstring straight ribbed pants. They looked so good on me and I didn't know why but I wanted to feel like I looked good infront of Kai. I went to the bathroom and ran the brush through my hair before flipping it twice and then walked back to where Kai was sitting in the kitchen.

Kai turned on the chair as I walked into the kitchen and his eyes traveled my body which made me feel like I might explode, I thought I was going to burn inside out.
"Want a drink? I got whiskey, that is really all. I have five different types of Crown Royal. Apple, Vanilla, Peach, Salted Caramel, and Blackberry." I said smiling. He whistled and smiled real big.
"Whiskey? I definitely knew I liked you. Can I get some that Salted Carmel one?" He asked with a wink. I laughed a little cause that is my favorite one. I walked to the hutch and pulled out the box that held the bottle and two glasses before turning to Kai.
"Can you grab some ice from the freezer?" I asked with a smile and he nodded. I began opening the box and took the bottle out of the bag when I felt Kai's breath on the back of my neck as his arm reached around me brushing my skin and he dropped ice into both glasses. He lingered behind me making every inch of my body prickle but not in a bad way, I poured the whiskey into both and downed one before poring myself another and turning around. I held out the other drink to Kai, his hand lingered on mine before he took the cup and we both took a drink.
"So what did you order?" I smirked when I asked. His smile stretched across his face and he turned to the bag on the counter and pulled it to him on the edge of the counter. He started pulling things out of the bag first cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, vegetable oil, butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, white vinegar, red gel food coloring, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. I examined everything carefully trying to figure out what it could be for then it clicked, I glanced at him quickly. How did he know that? How did he know red velvet is my favorite with cream cheese frosting. He smiled and shrugged as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Bexley?" He said as if asking if I was listening.
"Kai." I said staring at him waiting for an answer.
"Would you like to make red velvet cupcakes with me?" He asked with an innocent smile but I could tell the innocence was faked.
"Well.. I don't know.. I might not.. well of course I do." I finished the last sentence with a smirk. We make the batter talking about the book I was reading, Cruel Obsession. He was super interested in the book for some reason, I answered the questions anyways cause it was just a book.
