Love And Hate A Gideon Cross Love Story

Chapter 9

I sat in the car absorbing,  what Annalise had just said,  I mentally prepared myself for the storm ahead, I knew the media was going to make me miserable all over again. I decided that this was worth it.  I noticed Gideon walking towards the car and I wiped the tears away.

Gideon jumped in,  and I stared out the window,  hiding my face away from him, I didn't want him to see that I was crying,  instead I kept staring out the window,  not actually seeing anything.  Just staring at nothing in particular.  I know he sensed the tension,  because he tried to reach out to me,  and I hadn't noticed. The driver told us we had arrived at Gideon's place.  I almost ran out,  opening the door for myself, not waiting for Gideon or my driver. I ran into the building,  I felt Gideon's arms pulling me back and he saw my face,  he noticed I had been crying.  DARN IT!!.  I thought. He lifted my chin and kissed me , he whispered in my ear softly and soothingly, " I will make sure it's different this time " as if he knew exactly what I was worried about. We walked into his personal elevator that only he,  and his main bodyguard had a key to. I put my head  on his chest and sobbed,  I couldn't take it any longer.

We got to his penthouse apartment,  and I remembered this place all too well,  I wiped away my tears and waited for him,  he took my hand and led me to my old room.  I had a room here,  in case I didn't feel like sleeping next to him, instead of leaving he created a space for me, just me.  I walked in and it looked the same,  "but how? " I spoke my thought out loud,  "Corinne" I said,  he understood what I meant and he reminded me " I made this just for you" it looked exactly like my apartment bedroom in New York.  So I could feel more at home I guessed.

Gideon placed all the bags from the stylist in my room and I begun to unpack it,  he bought me a ton of jeans,  all my favorite  heels,  even socks,  he got a few t shirts and some formal wear for when I go to meetings straight from here,  and then I noticed he had 3 bags full of lingerie , all lace in different colors. 
"You wanna try that on" I heard him say,  as he leaned against the door frame.  I cleared my throat and responded " There's barely anything on this one,  it's sheer" he smiled.  "I know" he said in that raspy voice of his and winked at me. I laughed and packed everything away.  When I was done,  I walked out and looked for Gideon,  I knew where he would be,  in his home office,  I stood against the door frame as I watched his shirtless body clothed in a sweatpants and socks,  walk around talking on the phone.  I think he was on the phone with his publicist.  " Yes we are together again" . " Do what you can to make sure they only print the truth". "Okay" and with that note he ended the call.
" Hey handsome" I said,  making my presence known,  I wore grey track pants,  a white tee and a grey cardigan with white socks.
He walked up to me and kissed me passionately,  gripping my waist and pulling me towards him.  I smiled against his lips .
