The Other Side of Silence

V is for Venom

-2 Hours Ago-
~Wyatt's POV~

She rushed into the bathroom with her phone in hand. Prolly wants to call her mom or something.

I instantly heard a voice I cannot forget in my life even if I try to. It was boss' voice.

"Hey baby, how are you? I'm missing you so much. How was your flight? I hope nothing went wrong yesterday? I had a bad feeling yesterday but I couldn't tell what it was, I hope you're fine right baby? And yes, I just remembered, I got a notification on my phone that the mini knives built into that lace heels of yours were ejected last night. Are you aware" Boss' voice was so loud I could hear it all the way on the bed. Soon after, Ava reduced the volume a bit to spare mine and her ear drums.

I could hear them mumbling words at each other. I didn't want to eavesdrop, so I got up from the right side of the bed which is my side, took of my sweatpants and put on a cargo denim trouser and quietly opened the wardrobe and took out one of my T-shirts.

I put it on and sat back on the bed, crossing my legs and resting my head on the board, updating Boss on everything that happened yesterday, but kept the part that Ava was lesbian very clandestine.

If Ava wanted her parents to know, she would've told them herself. I get it honestly. If they were my parents, Big people in the business, and I, their son, was gay, I wouldn't think of telling them. I don't want them to be disappointed in me, and that's probably how she feels too so I respect her decision.

I told Boss about how one of Ava's former classmate tried harassing her yesterday and how she used the knife in her shoes to save herself.

I knew Boss was on the Phone with Ava right now, but I know Ava wouldn't tell her mom what happened because she doesn't want her to be worried. And it's literally my job to keep Ava safe and inform Boss about Ava's whereabouts and if there has been any compromise whatsoever.

After a while I could no longer hear a conversation. They weren't talking anymore, so I figured the call had ended. Immediately all the messages I sent boss marked read.

She texted me and told me to take Ava out of the hotel, in case the person decides to swing by later. She is a very sensible and smart boss. She was able to analyze that Ava's date of yesterday was planted just to lure her out so THEY could harm her, and so I have to find out information about who her date could've been, and I think I already have my suspect.

Soon after, Ava walked out of the bathroom and her eyes instantly landed on what I was wearing. Last she saw me I was in sweat pants and a white inner wear but now, I'm fully clothed in something completely different.

"I know what you're thinking and I have an answer." I said, literally reading her mind before she could say anything.

"I woke up 2 hours before you did and got ready. I just came back to the bed to pretend a bit. I was completely awake." The look on her face was literally priceless. She looked like I just betrayed her or backstabbed her.

I know why she responded like this though.

While pretending to sleep, I may or may not have intentionally placed my head between her breasts, so I get why she looks like that.

"Where are you going then?" She asked curiously.

"Nowhere in particular. I just want to go sightseeing. Maybe visit the Eifel tower." I said, trying to work with the plan. I could literally see the glint in her eyes. She looked very excitement.

"Can I come with you? I don't want to stay in the hotel doing absolutely nothing. And by the way, it's tomorrow we're going the art museum so I'll be bored if I'm alone here." She whined.
