THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 17

I gave him  'what the f*ck look' when the moment he halted his bullet in front of the wrecked building which exactly looks like a castle for all the zombies who were laying in the graveyard in the morning and would come out at night. No way in the hell I'm going to enter inside, I will rather die than take one step ahead.

"Come inside." He grabbed my elbow and dragged me inside the so-called library like a goat which was brought here to sacrifice his life. No... I don't want to be a goat. I wiggled from his grip and ran away screaming and yelling for help.

"What are you thinking?" He snatched me out of my terrible thoughts.

"Nothing." I shook my head weakly before entering inside the library with him having a second thought of running away. "Don't be afraid. I'm with you." He gave me an assuring smile that brought something spirit inside me.

"Hmm.. yeah!" I nodded my head. "Say something except the Yeah." He teased. "I won't." I smiled sheepishly. Ahh!! Reil, don't spoil your image.

"You go right. I will start from the left." He said as we are here to play hide and seek in our friend's house. Can't he see we are in the wrecked building!! I pulled his arms when he was about to leave me in the middle of the huge hall. "Why don't we search together?" I asked nervously.

He raised his eyebrows at me and muttered, "I thought you are a brave girl." sure enough to hear me. I pretended like I didn't hear him because I'm very well aware that it is not the right place to let out my pride.

That's how we both started to search the book named "The Hidden secrets." until 2 O' clock but the damn book nowhere to find.

Hunger knocked my stomach frequently begging me to eat something although I reminded her that we are here to search the book, not for eating, but couldn't able to control myself I asked him shyly, "Why don't we eat and resume our searching?" but no response.

"Blake, I'm hungry." I turned around and whined like a baby but the place where he stood before was empty.

Where the hell he went? All my sensing nerves got alarmed. "Blake?!" I called out but my voice echoed through the room that brought me a goosebump in my stomach.

"Blake! it's not the right time to do any prank. Please come out." I almost yelled but again the silence from the other side answered me that he left the place. He left me all alone to suffer with my own benefits!

He.. he left me. Tears started to prick in my eyes but even before it could fall down through my cheeks I saw him walking towards me with a giant box in his hand through my blurry vision.

"Where the hell did you go?" I snapped him angrily hitting his chest frequently until my pounding heartbeat reduced.

"Sorry. I went to bring this box. You must be hungry." His voice held an apology.

"Who said I'm hungry, huh?" I yelled at him. "I don't want your food." I folded my arms against my chest and turned around. Yes! I'm hungry but I'm not going to let him know.

"Come on!!" He turned me around by grabbing my shoulder and wiped my tears that I didn't aware of when did it roll through my cheeks.

"I'm really sorry, okay? I should have informed you." He apologized once again but the bitterness in his tone was telling me that he hadn't had sought anyone's forgiveness in his entire life. Such a difficult man.

I remained silent for the whole time looking at the floor not knowing how to react. He lifted my chin and made eye contact with me. His dark eyes shone with armor that put the smile on my face.

"Do you know how beautiful you are when you are smiling?" He complimented, most probably would have said those words to gain my forgiveness but I'm not the easy person like he thinks.
