A Soft Devil (COMPLETED)

Chapter 61

After a restless night of sleeping on the hard wooden floor in handcuffs in a corner, so we wouldn't run, morning came. I probably got two hours of sleep as I was afraid Gabe was going to come in the middle of the night, and do something to us. Bobby woke us up and un-cuffed us saying breakfast was ready.

We stretched out before walking in the kitchen where Veronica was flipping pancakes. Owen was to the side of her drinking coffee while Gabe was at the table reading something. It looked like a newspaper. He looked like the last person to be reading. Bobby stood at the doorframe.

We all sat at the table and waited to be served, but there was a change of plans.

"You guys can get up and get your own food. I'm the only person being served from now on in this house," Gabe spat at us before going back to his reading.

We brushed off his attitude and got up to make our plate. I smiled as I remembered making Grayson's plate in the morning. I missed him. I missed hearing his voice though it's been less than 24 hours since we've been held captive. I hope he was doing well. I prayed on his health last night as well as the other guys. I prayed Lina's baby was doing well. I looked over at Lina whose stomach was just now slightly popping, but you could never tell if you hadn't seen her before the pregnancy. She looked like the rest of us. Tired and ready to get the fuck out of here.

I stood next to Veronica as I made my plate. There was a bruise forming from when Gabe had backhanded her, but other than that she looked the same. She looked over at me when she saw me staring. I looked away, but it was too late. She had already seen me. I heard her clear her throat.

"How's Grayson?" She whispered to me.

I was taken back at how she was talking to me, but I responded. "Great."

She nodded her head. "How long have you guys been together?"

"Around seven months."

"Around the same time we broke up," she slid in, but I ignored it. "Did he tell you how we-"

"Broke up?" I finished for her, and she nodded her head. "Yea. He said you cheated on him."

She sighed, "sadly."

"Yea he was pretty sad too," I told her before grabbing my pancake and walking away to join the girls.

Veronica served Gabe shortly after our conversation. She stood back once his plate was down, probably so he wouldn't force her to sit in his lap. He began to put away his paper before cutting up his pancakes.
"Lily and Kayla you two should thank Owen and Bobby for finishing your work last night."

"You guys did that?" Lily asked looking at the both of them.

"Did you think I was fuckin lying?" Gabe shouted at Lily.

"Yo it was a question no need to cry about it," she said back.

Gabe stopped eating his food to look at her. "Watch the way you talk to me," he warned.

She didn't say anything, but when Gabe looked away, she rolled her eyes.

"Thank you," Lily and Kayla both said after Lily's eye roll.

It lightened the mood, but only slightly.

After breakfast, Gabe ordered us back in the room. Him and Owen followed us in there while he ordered Bobby to take Veronica with him into the city to run him an errand. Gabe sat on the end of the bed while we sat in the corner. Owen stood in front of the closed door after cuffing us expect Lina. Our only way out was through the blocked door since there were no windows in our small dirty wooden room.
