One More Mistake
Chapter thirty-four

❱ He was different from the others, he looked at me differently and he also made me feel differently.

My eyes wondered down to his lips for a second and when I did, I wanted to do something so badly. Though, I didn't do it and kept my distance from him.

I noticed he wanted to do it too, we both did, but I guess we were afraid.

As the cold wind brought chills on our skins, we stood next to each other while looking at the scenery in front of us. I realized that he inched himself closer to be and soon I felt his body heat.

"I was fired" he said out in the cold night. I looked over at him confusedly but some part of me knew what he meant. He didn't turn to look at me, his face was emotionless and I didn't know what to say.

"Your uncle fired me and he wasn't pretty nice about it" he said but he seemed pissed off and I knew who was at fault.

"He didn't only fire you, he hurt you" I said and I didn't think he was expecting me to say that because he tensed up. If he thought I wouldn't bring it up he was wrong.

"That's why I'm here with you because nothing is stopping me now. I don't have to listen to Bruce anymore and it feels so freeing" he ignored my comment but maybe it was because he didn't want to talk to about it and I was okay with that.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask and I see him nod his head but he still wasn't looking at me.

"Where are you going to live now?" I asked quietly, afraid he'll get angry with me.

Since Kace was a security guard he had lived there with us, in his own chamber with the others but now since he got fired so he had to leave.

"I actually don't know, yet, I don't even have any friends who'll let me crash nor do I have damn job" he said and I've felt like he just realized he didn't have any where to go. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind but I soon shook it off. It was too risky for him.

"I would've offered you my room but somehow Bruce would find out and it would go worse for you" he nods his head, understanding.

"But I do have a friend who has a spare room, they could maybe let you stay there for a while?" I say not really thinking this through. All I wanted to do is help him out, I was the reason why he got fired and now I have to help him out.

"No, I wouldn't want to bother your friend. I could stay in car, I'll be fine"

"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer and plus, this friend owns me big time" he only then looks at me with eyebrows furrowed but I don't say anything else and pull him with me.

I wasn't sure what I was doing or how this was going to work out but right now I couldn't think about that. We were parked outside my friends house and Kace was still arguing with me.

"Have you even asked this friend of yours?" When he asked me that, I didn't respond which gave him the impression that I didn't ask.

"Kace, please, I'm trying to help you out because I'm the one who caused all of this and now I need to get you out of this mess. Look, just do this for me please" I asked quietly and from his silence I've knew I've got to him.

"Okay but only for one night" he demanded but I didn't say anything and we walked in through the gates.

As we made our way towards the front door, my heart started to pick up. For a quick second I wanted to stop and run away from here but I looked over at kace and I knew he needed this.

"Stay here and I'll talk to him" I said as I left him a few feet away from the front door but before I left I've noticed his face furrowed.

I sighed heavily before ringing. As I was about to hit the button again, the wide door finally opened and we locked eyes. They stared at me coldly as always, but by now I was used to it.

"Thea" he said my name smoothly and unsurprised.

"Rory" I say back but with a smile on my face.
