Give Me Life

Chapter 8. Conscientious

"Is that anyone you know?"

Katrina didn't dare look to see, she cleared her throat. When she mustered up the courage to look out the window it was nothing good, Tyrone was waiving at
her and yelling her name. The whole group stopped what they were doing and looked at the truck.

Including Devlin.

Thankfully the light turned green and Bryce drove on.

"Seems like a nice guy." Bryce mumbled, Katrina slowly breathed out, she needed to stop acting insane, she was in a car with strangers, Bryce's daughter gave her a curious look. "That is your boyfriend huh?" The little girl said smiling at her. "The man that was giving the tour is..." Katrina shyly said. Bryce smiled at her.

"He seems like a wonderful guy then."

"Yeah he is..." Katrina softly spoke.

Her phone went off in her hands.

She expected it to be Devlin, surprisingly it was Jacopo.

"Hello Mr. Morichatto."

"Hey, I just wanted to let you know that Jared's not doing good at all..." He cleared his throat and sounded like he was crying, he didn't want Katrina to panic, so he cleared his throat again and changed the subject. "Um... We're in Yerevan... It's really beautiful out here; Anyways I called because Anthony wanted to speak with you, but he stepped out to use the men's room, so when he gets back, I'll.. Have him call you from my phone." He murmured.

Katrina stared at her hands, and sighed. "Yes of course.."

"I'll talk to you later okay?" He softly said.

"Okay." Katrina murmured.

When she was done, there was a silence in the car that didn't sit well with her, it seemed like they heard her whole conversation. "They must think I'm a mad woman." Finally they were in front of her house.
"This is your house!" Trinity yelled, smiling wide.
Katrina smiled at her. "Yes this is my home."

"Can we have a tour!"

"Trinity..." Bryce barked down at her.

"I'm sorry.. We just have never seen small town homes like this."

"Katrina gave them the best smile that she could.

"No apologies... I hope you guys love your new home." She honestly said, Trinity gave her a wink. "We love our new home.." Bryce opened his door and got out grabbing her things; Katrina opened her door, and held her arms, her knee-caps hurt all of a sudden, she gripped the handle, Trinity grabbed her by her waist. "Here you go, I'll help you." She exclaimed.

"Thank you." Katrina gushed, and then placed her feet on the ground, Bryce rushed to her side and wanted to touch her, but stood still. "Are you okay? Do you need help putting your things in your house?" He said worried, Katrina thought about the reason why she left her house and then nodded her head. "Yes I think I could use the help." She blushed.

"Great!"

They headed to her front door, and Katrina paused. "How long have you been gone?" He asked her. "For about five weeks." She lied, so that he could help her. "Okay... Do you want me to look around? Make sure no one has broken in?" Katrina gave him a weak smile, and he laughed and nodded his head, he took her keys and slowly opened the door.

The sound of Trinity slamming the car door scared them both.

"I'm coming too! I want to see the inside of her house!" She shouted.

When he opened the door, Trinity tried to push past him, but he grabbed her shirt and pulled her back. "Daddy's always first." She nodded and immediately grabbed Katrina's hand, Katrina felt exhilarated, and then wondered what she was doing with these two. She was also thankful for Bryce's help, without him, she probably would have been scared to death to go inside by herself.
