LOOK AFTER YOU

8

I was awakened by a knock at the door, it was only when I opened my eyes to the dark blues walls that I noticed I wasn't in my room.

I started to panic.

"Kylian, we're leaving for Katherine's appointment now." Mrs. Williams said.

I was full on panicking now but Kylian just groaned giving my hip a squeeze with his hand.

"Yeah mom," he half shouted

"Good morning Leigh-ann." Mrs Williams said, my eyes widened.

"G-Good morning Mrs. Williams." I said stammering.

I heard her chuckle. I looked at Kylian my eyes wide as I started to panic even more, he was grinning at me. I felt like there was an inside joke that way flying right over my head. I covered my face with my hands, I could hear the footsteps retreating.

"Oh my G-God. She's going to...she thinks..." Kylian just laughed turning on his side to look at me, I wanted to slap the stupid smile from his face.

"Calm down, I told you... I talked to her." He said shrugging before I could ask him what about he rolled out of bed. He walked to the bathroom and soon after I heard the shower turn on, I groaned and went to my own room to wash myself.

I tried not to think about what last night meant, since I don't even know where we stood. And then there was the secrecy around the talk with his mother. I groaned as I lathered soap onto my body, I was sure this was going to give me a headache, so I shut off my thoughts and focused on not getting my hair wet.

After dressing, I made my way downstairs where I made us breakfast. Loading two omelettes with cheese and making toast and bacon.

When I was pouring myself some coffee Kylian padded into the kitchen bare foot with damp hair, he was actually wearing a shirt today and it looked weird to see him not shirtless.

"Hi" he said smiling at me while he slid into the stool at the counter, I handed him a plate and poured him his glass of milk.

"You spoil me, I'm probably going to have to force my migraines just so you can treat me right." He was grinning but I know that it was coming from somewhere.

I sipped my coffee deciding I needed to eat before I discuss whatever needed discussing.

I didn't make sense when I was hungry.

After breakfast though Kylian padded upstairs.

I sighed, washing the dishes to buy some time to sort out what I wanted to say. I wasn't sure how the talk would go, it wasn't something I'd done before. And I had no control over the situation, or have any idea how it'd work out.

If my shaking hands and throbbing pulse wasn't  a clear indication. I was nervous and it showed.

When I was done I made my way upstairs, I stood in the hall for a questionable amount of time, just staring at the white door.

I finally pushed it open.

Kylian was playing some sort of video game he only glanced at me for second before going back to his game. I pushed the door closed behind me huffing, I had a feeling this wasn't going to be easy.

I sat on the sofa beside him pulling the open bag of gummy bears from between his thighs and dropped few in my mouth chewing while I looked at the ceiling, after a while I sighed.

"Kylian, I want to talk." I said lifting my head to look at him, I wasn't sure if he heard me or was just ignoring me.

But then he paused his game, pulling off his headphones slowly as he turned to focus on me. I wasn't fully prepared for his undivided attention, his eyes still captivated me, even though they were blank of all emotion. I hated that I couldn't read him.
