“how much?." I asked.“So much that any scale that tries to measure it would break." I chuckled.He pulled away from me and held the blanket open for me to crawl under.I snuggled in tight and he joined me, he pulled me so that our bodies were pressed against each other and the last thing I remembered was his fingers grazing my lips.“Wake up." A very soft voice said, I smelled the minty scent of toothpaste and I opened my eyes to see Blue standing on the bed.I almost jumped, she spread her legs so that each one of her legs were on each sides of my body, she was leaning in and holding the headboard for support, if I had jumped I would head bump her.She giggled.“You sleep so peacefully." She said jumping from the bed like a ballerina.“Where is Gabriel?." I asked her seeing that the bed was empty.She walked to the window and opened the curtains, sunlight almost blinded my eyes.“Sorry." She said walking over to me and soothing my closed eyelids with her fingers. “Gabriel and his a
We reached the beach, it wasn't an open beach as I was expecting, it was a private resort.“You should have painted a better picture in my head and I would have been so fucking excited to come, I would have dressed up faster." I told Blue.I inched closer to the window and I looked out. The entire place was like out of a movie.“Ryan owns the resort." Blue said and I felt impressed.“That's impressive." I told him and he turned to give a short smile.“Thank you." He said and he drove into the parking lot, we all exited at the same time." Cody." Blue called softly, there was no ounce of emotion in her voice and her face was plain.Cody turned around, he had very black hair, it was short and shaggy. He had thick dark lashes hooding his icy blue eyes, he was strikingly handsome, he had a well chiseled jaw and when he smiled, he had an amazing set of teeth. He was wearing a shirt but it was unbuttoned from top to bottom. His face brighten up and his smile stretched to both ears, he prac
“She's not picking up." I told Kylee.“Please stop panicking, I can't keep calm if you're panicking, I've never seen you like this, I don't know what to do." Kylee said.She was sitting on the couch and staring at me.“I need to go and find her."“Where?."“I don't know, anywhere, I can't get this sick feeling off my chest that she's not fine, why did I leave her."“Gabriel, you know that she would have wanted to stay with Blue, that's why you left her, don't blame yourself for her disappearance."I turned to Kylee with a glare." Wrong choice of words. If anything happens to her you're not to blame." She said putting a picture in my head, it ignited the flame burning in my chest. It made things worse. " I'm not good at this, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm scared... Gabe she's with Blue, we saw her this morning, we'll see her tomorrow morning." “She didn't see me this morning, she was asleep when I left, now both Blue and Cristela's phone are ringing without a reply."“Calm down Gabe
I looked from the bouquet in his hand to his face.“What are you doing?." I asked him trying not to hold too tight to the door handle.“Uh, this is an apology to Cristela, my dad grows a very impressive garden and women like flowers so I just wanted to say I'm sorry for leaving her unsupervised and for her being so drunk."“Jesus, Ryan you weren't meant to supervise me, I'm an adult." Cristela said from inside. I turned to her but I didn't give Ryan enough space to see her in only a towel.“It seems like someone is awake enough for a scolding." I told her and she dropped the empty cup on the table.“You don't scare me Mr Gabriel." She said raising her chin in the air. “I'll probably spank you too, maybe next time you'll be a good girl." I told her and she turned to me with a half frown and half smile. I turned to Ryan and took the flowers from him.“Thank you Ryan." I told him with a smile.“You're welcome, I mean, she's welcome." He said with a full smile “I'm sorry for yelling a
It was more of a sentence but the way she rushed it, it almost sounded like one word.I chuckled and watched her fall asleep, I stood up and turned off all the lights, I was about to climb the bed when I saw the bouquet on the table where I dropped it.I picked it up and got dressed, with my pyjamas I left the room, I made sure to close the door gently.I went downstairs to the living room, the entire house sounded dead.I opened the door and walked outside, there was a big trash can in sight, I was about to walk over to it when I saw the flash of a headlight in the gate.I halted to see who was coming in. The security opened the gate and I watched two figures emerging.“Blue." I said finally realizing it was her. She was drunk, so drunk she could not walk, she was clutching onto a guy.“Hey." He said in acknowledgement but his eyes held suspicion. I walked over to the trashcan and threw the roses inside.When I turned around the guy was still standing there, he had clear blue eyes th
I turned away from him and turned to look at Blue, her eyes were on her phone. I slipped out from under her arm and sat up from her laps.I turned to glance at Cody and he was still staring, this time his eyes had grown colder, wtf did I do?.“He's staring at me in a funny way." I told her and she turned to me but her eyes didn't turn to his direction.“He and my brother got into a fight this morning. I overheard..."“What was it about?."“Well, my brother wants to start up a new project, he wants to start up a software company that would program games and make animations... That sort of thing and he needed someone to finance it, he already has a blue print though but those things would cost hundreds of millions to start up. Cody was supposed to be my brother's number one investor, the interest return is huge but since you boyfriend is loaded, my brother decided to make him the top investor. In my opinion, Gabriel is a more stable option, this made Cody very mad and angry and he proba
Gabriel turned towards the stairs and for a moment I thought he had forgotten about me, but when didn't hear my footsteps following behind him, he halted and turned his head.I couldn't go, could I?.No, in my head I was wondering what all these people were going to say when I was out of ear shot, they would eventually talk, yes, but I wanted them to talk another day, not when I'm still in the house. My anxiety level rose higher and higher and I stood there, frozen. And also, my heart was ramming in my chest as I imagined all the things they'll say.“Cristela." Gabriel's deep voice shocked me from my thoughts and I almost trembled, almost.My legs started working out of uneasiness and I ran to him and ducked my head so that the others wouldn't have any more things to talk about. They wouldn't say my face was ash as I walked towards him, they wouldn't say my expression was sour or contented, I had no expression right now, except for that of anxiety. Gabriel held my hand, it felt like
“I love it, it's beautiful." I said shaking the box, it was reflecting light from the sun rays.“Give me a minute babe." Gabriel said and he went into the bathroom. I heard the tap come on and after a moment it turned off, when he returned his knuckles were no longer stained with blood.He pulled out his phone from the drawer beside the bed and he went to the closet.I heard him talking on the phone, I didn't pay any attention to it until I heard him call Cody's name.“Cody Hoffman." He said.I stood up, the earrings fell from my hands, I picked one up but I was in a hurry, I couldn't pick the other one.“The hospital wouldn't do, it won't be a clean job, leave it until when he gets home."My eye brows were raised in shock, my head was telling me what this was but I was refusing to believe that Gabriel was really going to send a hitman to take out Cody.I know he hurt me but the aspirin was working fine.“Find his address first, and I want this done in less than a week, do a clean job
