Breaking The Grey [Book #2]

Chapter 24

North

I wait by my fax machine in my office. Sherry is faxing some important papers through.

During the middle of night Allie rolled over and grabbed me. I was half asleep, but she cuddled the shit out of me and kissed my neck a few times. We woke up in that same position this morning and I've never been in a better mood.

I've been looking into some private investigators for Allie. I don't think her parents will be hard to track, but if they haven't moved in these past five years then I won't need to invest in any private investigators. We'll go to them ourselves and that's what I'm afraid of.

Allie has a lot of emotions that are running wild and I'm afraid if it's that easy to find her parents, she'll really just snap. Before, when she was normal carefree Allie, the topic of her parents didn't get to her as much.

Some nights she did have nightmares, but her emotions toward them were never this intense and it's kind of scaring me. Why does she feel so much now when she has no recollection of these things? I keep asking myself this question and I haven't come up with the answer.

Has losing her memory changed her ways? I feel like it has. It's not just her reaction to things, but it's the way she acts toward me. She's more lovable and attached to me and that's something I've always wanted.

She looks at me now like I'm some sort of goddess even though I'm far from that. I'd be lying if I said I'm not enjoying this. Who doesn't enjoy feeling loved?

I'm interrupted by my office phone that's ringing obnoxiously. I walk over to it and pick it up.

"Ms. Millian speaking."

"Ms. Millian I miss you." Allie said.

I chuckled, "What're you doing calling me? You're in the middle of therapy."

"Uh, Maliah and Jax may or may not be arguing outside."

"Oh my god really? How long have they been at it?" I asked.

"Probably about three minutes. I got bored so I figured why not distract you for a bit."

I sit down in my office chair and smile. It's only been a few hours without her and I miss her already.

"Well lucky you, I'm not really busy right now."

"What're you doing?" She asked.

I sighed, "Just getting faxed papers. There really isn't much to do today."

"That massage last night really helped my back. It almost feels like I never got hit by car in the first place."

"I guess I should start massaging your back more often." I responded.

"You should because I feel great and your hands feel really good."

I chuckled, twirling my fingers around the wire of the phone, "I love you."

"I love you too. I miss you."

"I miss you too," I replied. "Hopefully they're not arguing over something serious you know."

She scoffed, "Yeah, been there, done that."

"Yeah I know, but no couple is perfect. Arguing is natural."

"It's natural, but doesn't seem necessary."
