Torture In Silence (Kellic)

Half

{Kellin}

After I kissed Vic in front of Damien, I went to my room and tried to find the two guys that were at the secret window. I made sure my door was shut and no one was in my room except me. I peeked through my window and knocked on it, signaling the two people to come to my window instead. I'm a little surprised they showed up here. I slightly cracked open my window.

"Kellin," Alex started, "Where's Vic?"

"He doesn't talk, remember?" Jack said, flicking Alex in the arm.

"Is he here? He's not at home," Alex blurted.

I nodded my head and pointed at my door, letting him know that he was here but not in my room.

"But he is here for sure, right?" Alex continued.

"Would you cut the crap and just tell him, Alex? We might get caught out here!" Jack shoved him.

"You're right," he directed towards Jack. "Kellin, we have a plan that just may or may not work in order for everyone in this brothel to be saved. It's a way for everyone to get out of here safely."

My eyes widened and my heart started to beat really fast. I wanted immediate details of their plan as quickly as possible. I listened in on what they had to say.

"So we wanted to tell you and Vic, but since Vic isn't with us at the moment, we'll just tell you. But you have to understand something. Not everything we tell you will be shared with Vic and not everything we share with Vic will be told to you. We're taking into consideration yours and Vic's safety, which is why we can't tell you everything. In his situation, we can tell him all he needs to know, but with you, we just can't because of the position you're in. Understand?"

So whatever they're telling me, they're not gonna give me full details because I'm technically under Damien's supervision. They'll tell everything to Vic because he's safe outside of the brothel, but since I'm in here, they're only thinking about my safety and well-being.

I nodded my head.

"Good," Alex breathed out. "Here's the plan..."

{Vic}

"He's mine, Fuentes," Damien said to me.

I felt anguished and shattered, but also content and radiant. All these mixed emotions filled my head.

He...he kissed me...in front of Damien? What does that even mean?! Is that supposed to be an apology towards me because he took Damien's side after all that I've done for him? Was it because he just had to have one last kiss from me? Or was it because he was hinting that he did love me, but knowing if he walked over to me, Damien wouldn't actually let him go. But...he...winked at me...just before heading off to his room.

A kiss.

A wink.

What does it all mean? Were those gestures signs that I wasn't picking up on?

I felt the cheek that Kellin touched. It was warm. My lips were tingling, wanting Kellin to kiss me again. Maybe the kiss, the wink, and him touching my face was him implying that he knew something I didn't, that he had a trick or some shit up his sleeve. He did those things for a reason. For now, I'll just go with it.

"You're right. He's yours, Damien. You can have him. It's clear that he doesn't love me, so I guess I won't be a burden anymore," I faked my sadness. I slowly headed for the door.

"Fuentes," Damien uttered.

I turned on my heels and faced him.

"I always win," he smirked. "By the way, don't show your face here ever again. If I find you snooping around here or if I find out you're telling other people about this place, I have a bullet with your name on it waiting for you."
