Her Heart (1/3)

Chapter 28

A few years later

"You guys are legit always eating." I say to Elijah and Mike who had all the groceries laid out before them on the table.

"Patrolling will really teach you to appreciate food." said Mike.

"But I doubt you have to eat this much." i chuckle. "Anyway where is Kate?"

"Oh she's outside with some dude, can you imagine that? He probably has bad breath or something." said Mike.

"Ohhh Mikey, is that a hint of jealousy?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

"What? Oh come on, see this is why I don't like it when you two are together. It's just a mess." then he got up and went to go sit in the tv room and started playing a video game.

Elijah and I erupted with laughter.

"But seriously though you need to take her away from that poor guy. If her brother finds out about this, he will break something, and it will be one of this guys bones." he said.

Then I took a look at Mike. "He likes her doesn't he?"

"You didn't hear it from me but she rejected him." said Elijah as he was slipping on his drink and moving to Mike "twice." he added.

"Uhm Katie, can I borrow you for a minute?" I said, purposely disturbing their little conversation.

"Luna." the person Katie was talking to bowed his head as a sign of respect.

"I'm so sorry but I have to steal her."

"No problem Luna." he bowed his head once again and he gave Katie a hug.

"And? What was that about?" she asked.

"I don't need Ryan killing your boyfriend."

"Agg, did he see us?"

"No, he is up in his office occupied."

"Great, well let me head over to mom's. She wants us to go some shopping for their new house. Would you like to come?"

"No thank you. You go off and spend some time with her. But do send my regards."

"Will do, see you later."

I headed back into the house as i thought about how much I missed Ryan. And i saw him a few hours ago.

I knocked slightly and walked in anyway without waiting for a reply. Why do you always do that?

"Hey guys." I said to the most yummiest person in this room and Elijah.

Ryan looked like he has been at it for hours, his hair looked like he kept on running his hands in it. His eyes weren't bright blue anymore but a tone darker indicating his exhaustion.

I went over and sat on his lap and scanned Elijah who was sitting opposite Ryan to check if he looked the same way, but he looked like he just walked in and was ready to work.

"You look tired babe." I said thrusting my hands into his hair too.

"I'm not Princess." he said squeezing me reassuringly.

I laughed. "You always say that but I can see that you're tired Ry. How about you get some sleep?"

"I gotta finish this paper work."

"Well how about you take an hour nap at least, please?"

He let out a deep sigh while putting his head on my chest. "Alright fine, a few hours won't hurt."
