"Will you reject me?" I ask, ignoring the lump that was forming in my throat. I fought the tears that were threatening to fall. Don't cry, please Hannah, don't cry.
His green eyes looked like orbs of ice that stared straight through me. A sadistic s...

I got up from staring the ceiling when I caught Ian's smell. In no less than a few minutes, the cabin's door opened with Ian carrying a picnic basket.
He met my eyes and stopped by the door. "Good thing you're awake. You should be hungry, let's eat." he said, letting himself inside. He put down the basket beside me and came nearer.
To my surprise, he scooped me into his arms. "Wh-what are you doing?" I demanded, shocked with his gesture.
He doesn't answer first, instead he took the basket and put it on top of me so I held it securely.
"I forgot to bring you shoes, so I'll just carry you outside." he explained as if it made perfect sense and that it didn't bother me. As I was about to protest, he lifts an eyebrow. "Non-negotiable, I'm not letting you walk barefoot."
It was my turn to sigh. I tried to calm my nerves down. Being this close to him was difficult for me. Our bodies in contact, the familiar electrical shocks worked their magic. His smell seemed to entice me some more, making me inch closer to him.
My heart was in a frenzy, and fortunately I was able to have more control over it, taking deep breaths just to slow it down.
I wondered if Ian felt the same, but I ignored the thought. He probably didn't.
I held the picnic basket tightly so it wouldn't fall as he carried me to who knows where.
As he stepped outside, the sun made me squint my eyes instantly. I haven't been outside for a day ever since the attack from two nights ago. I have healed completely, good as new.
Ian and Alec didn't believe me when I said that I was completely fine, they weren't convinced till I showed that there were no more bruises, no bleedings and I didn't even have scars.
Still, they told me to stay in the cabin for now. I'm guessing they didn't want me to see the Delta for now and to be frank, I didn't want to meet her yet.
I started recognizing the path that Ian was leading me to. He was bringing me by the waterfalls.
After a few minutes, we arrived and he put me down. Ian took the basket from me while I walked near to the water, appreciating the view and loving the serenity. I took a deep breath. The smell of the forest around and moist earth beneath enveloped my surroundings, but Ian's scent overpowered it.
I turned back to look for Ian when I collided against somebody, none other than Ian of course. "Ow..." I rub my forehead.
"You're so clumsy," I heard him say, followed by a chuckle. My head looked towards him so fast, did I really just hear him laugh? A laugh that's free of intent to kill, free of mockery? A real actual laugh? The world must be ending soon. "Eat first." he said, turning around and walking towards a tree. Under the shade of it, I saw a neatly spread picnic blanket and food.
