NOW YOU SEE ME.

Chapter 27.

Hands intertwined, stolen glances , secret kisses and nightly chats, that's been us in these few days passed. I can't describe how I feel, my heart feels lighter and I find myself automatically smiling for no reason when I see him, it's almost like we have known each other for such a long time but are still able to learn something new from each other, each day that passes.

Vicky hasn't said much concerning the two of us, but she gives off hints of where she might be at, with me catching her glancing our way and giving off a smile, making me a bit at ease with she being happy for me.

The thing with knowing her so much, I've learnt to see beyond that smile of hers, that's why I didn't miss the concern in her eyes, the same concern that I sometimes have and not only about Connor but my mom.

The same mother who had visited me a few times but even then, I never told her about Connor, I don't know. For some reason I feel like my relationship with Connor is my secret to keep but for how long, when she has picked up on ' my changes ' as she puts it out there.

I can't help that I find my thoughts travel to what Connor had done or said, the way I feel almost feels too unreal to make sense out of and at this point, I could care less about what makes sense at the moment.

Trying to read in silence should be enough for me but no, it isn't, you know why?

Oh yes, Connor has been twisting and turning like he has ants in his pants , and right now it's beyond annoying that I want to smack him with the book but I can't do that to my book.

" Connor?" I finally say, having had enough.

"Hmm." He says in the pillow.

"Please just sleep and stop moving so much." I try to say calmly, not wanting to let him know of my annoyance.

" Okay then, switch off the lights."

Is he kidding?

No way ,the book is too good to put down.

" But I'm still reading." I point out.

" And I can't sleep with the light blinding me." He says and I can sense his annoyance rising.

" Well get under the covers cause I need to finish this chapter." This makes him to turn to look at me.

" And burn from this heat?....Heck no, just continue reading tomorrow morning."

"No way, this is too good to put down." I argue .

" And I'm sure it'll be just as good tomorrow morning, now come on , sleep." He says, grabbing my book and throwing it somewhere on the floor.

I'm too jaw struck to speak, how dare he?

" Did you just do that?" No, I have to ask cause I'm too shocked for words.

He rises from the bed and nods at me before heading off to switch off the lights.

" Don't you dare." I warn before he can even reach the switch.

" Bailey come on, it's late." He whines.

"Do I look like I care?....No. Now you are going to give me back my book after finding my lost chapter and wait for me to finish, then we can switch off the lights."

" I'm not doing that, cause you are being unfair."

" How am I being unfair?!" I raise my voice up a notch.

" Are you seriously asking me that right now, in the middle of the night?" He says, looking at me like I'm being ridiculous.

" Connor a little patience won't kill you."

"And a little consideration won't hurt you either." He shoots back.

This won't end any time soon, I figure.

"Oh so I'm inconsiderate, is that what you're saying?" I ask, shooting a glare his way, daring him to say it but for some reason, he seems unfazed by this .

" You're the one who said it, not me." He mumbles, shrugging his shoulders.

" Wow, unbelievable. Men." I bite off the last word.

" And women, geesh, can't get through to them." More glares are shot his way and before I can say anything, he beats me to it. " No, I am not getting into this gender squabble, not now when I need sleep." I try to talk but he cuts in again. " In the dark."

" Well if you want to sleep so badly ,why don't you sleep somewhere else then?"

" Oh you're right, yes. I have a room of my own and you know what, I'm leaving."

" Fine, go." I say, shrugging like I don't care.

" I will," he says, not even moving.

" Shouldn't you be on your way?" I say cheekily, before looking away.

I hear a sigh come from him before he opens the door. Glancing his way again, the annoyance I had disappears and now I kinda regret this.

Once he's out, I make my way to the door to lock it , but before I can move away from the door, I hear him tell me that he loves me.

With that he's gone, moving away without a response from me and now I feel really bad. Not feeling up to reading anymore, I switch off the lights and jump into bed, where I'm staring up the ceiling.

Slowly, a smile forms on my lips because even though I feel a tad bit bad, both relief and gladness washes over me at us having this argument.

Wow our first argument, it feels good and is a big relief to actually get a taste of us having an argument, its not that nice because I don't like fighting with him.

I love him, but an argument and even a disagreement makes us human and gives me insight of the different phases we can pass through together.

Well now I can scratch the argument out of my list, which has to do with our relationship.

1: First heart reaction. Check.

2: First kiss. Check.

3: First argument. Check.

All my first's have been ticked out except for one big one, which is more intimate and I'd rather not go into that because honestly, I'm not ready for that, neither are we, since we are still new at this together.

There's so much I can say I'm looking forward to but for now, I'll just take in what I can get.
