A Chance at Love|✔ (Book One Of The Glass Shoe Series)

💗Chap 22💗

Zak woke up with his head hurting and his stomach growling, the head hurting from the accident yesterday. The room has gotten cooler but he was sweaty.

Next to the bed, the light still burned and the clock read seven-ten. Delancy was stepping on her side, his hand still clasped in hers. For the first time in his memory, he had allowed himself to be touched while he slept. When had he come to trust her so much?, he wondered.

Moving carefully so as not to wake her, he eased from the bed and straightened to a standing position. He brushed his knuckles against Delancy's cheek, then slowly bent to kiss the top of her head.

I love you, he told her in his mind. Then he went to the bathroom.

Zak went out of the room to the reception "Good morning."

"Good morning sir, how is your stay here?" the receptionist said.

"It's great, Please where's the kitchen?"

"You can just tell me what you want, I'll send someone to bring it for you."

"No, I want to take it to her myself."

"Okay, Just turn to the left there, the third room by your right."

"Okay, Thank you." Zak said and left.

In the room, Delancy woke up and looked around for Zak. She got up from the bed "Zak." She called but no answer. She took her nightgown from the floor and checked the bathroom. "He can't have gone far." She said.

"And he's here." Zak came into the room. "Good morning Angel."

Delancy smiled deeply "Good morning, you brought us breakfast, why didn't you call for it?"

"I wanted to bring it myself, that's why."

"Thank you." She kissed his cheek and collected the tray from him.

"Go take your bath, I'll set the food."

Delancy went in and took her bath, she came out in only towel wrapped around her body. Zak ran his eyes on her thighs "Ivory."

"I don't have any clothes to wear, I have only the wedding gown and you don't expect me to walk around in nighties."

"Oh-" There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Zak hurried to the door. "Yeah, Thank you." Delancy heard Zak say. Then he came inside with two big boxes. "What's in there?"

"This is for you and this for me." he pointed at the boxes. Delancy opened her box and saw a new dress, underwear and shoes for her. "Zak, you got all these for me." She jumped to hug him. "They're beautiful, thank you." She kissed his lips.

"Relax there, this things aren't expensive like what you wear." Delancy frowned at him. "I don't need expensive, dumbass."

Zak smiled at her "Go put it on, I don't know if I got the right size."
Delancy checked the clothes and saw the sizes "they are my size exactly and the shoes too. What's in your box?"

"Open it. Just a shirt, jeans and a pair of briefs."

Delancy changed her clothes and came out. "Perfect." Zak mouthed.
Delancy smirked "Let's eat, I'm hungry."

While they were eating, Delancy remembered about Nono and everything that happened the day before. "Zak, yesterday. I'll tell you when we're done."
"Okay."

They finished eating and packed the plates together. "Yes, tell me." Zak said.
They sat on the bed and Delancy started. "The person that tried to kidnap me was the son of Aunt Morti."

"Aunt Morti? Who's that?"

"The woman I saw talking to my mother, so I think the kidnap is involving my mother."

Zak furrowed his brow "Why would Avery want you kidnapped?"

"I think, the woman is hiding-" Delancy remembered France. "Wait, do you have your phone with you, I need to check my mail messages."

"Yeah, here." She collected the phone and connected to the Wi-Fi. She logged in to her email and checked the messages.

"Two days ago from francexxx@gmail.com. This is it"

Zak frowned "What?"

"I asked a friend of mine to help me investigate it, he has sent the results, I was so busy I forgot to check it."

"Open it."

Delancy clicked on the message and started reading, then she stopped "What?"

"What happened? What does it say?" Zak asked. Delancy gave him the phone to see.
"I need to go home now."
