A/N: I Hope y'all enjoyed the last chapter, I'm hoping you'll enjoy this chapter as well. I'll be jumping ahead a bit in the story because I really want to make this a Christmas chapter. Don't forget to vote and comment. With that lets begin shall we.
Destinee's POV
I can't believe it's Christmas already. I thought to myself as I moved about the room, we (Colson and I) we're hosting a party and he insisted it be at his place. Which I suppose would be best considering his place was by far bigger than mine. As I stand in the doorway to the kitchen watching Colson, Slim, Dub and Ash I couldn't help feeling slightly out of place. I felt so small, so fragile.
Suddenly, I felt someone tap on my shoulder causing me to jump slightly and upon instinct my hand flew to my chest.
"Rook you about scared me half to death." I said as I spun around to face him.
"I couldn't help but notice the worried expression on your face. Anything you want to talk about?"
I nod slowly, biting my bottom lip as I now often did.
Rook nodded toward the patio and I slowly followed....feeling as if my legs may give out at any moment.
Once outside Rook slid the door shut and sat down on the patio steps, patting the place beside him.
"What's wrong?" He asked, concern in his voice....never the less he smiled. Although it never reached his eyes.
"I'm worried about the party tonight...." I replied slowly. As if this might anger him. Even though I knew Rooks temper was nowhere near Colsons.
"Destinee, I completely understand your concern but you have learn to trust Kells. (Everyone else doesn't dare call Kells Colson.) I know it isn't easy given his reputation...."
Rook let the sentence drop and softly patted my knee as if this were to bring me some comfort. However, All I felt was this pit in my stomach.
Rooks POV
I feel like such a dumbass sitting here with Destinee patting her knee but to be honest I have no idea what else to do. How do I comfort someone that looks so afraid of what may happen tonight. I can't say I blame her, although I'd never in a million years bring it to Kells attention. I felt as though Slim would have to be the one to bring it up.
