Helloooo! I'm sorry for not updating so long. I was really busy. Anyways, I give you chapter 4! Ding-Dong! First Silke and Stone moment! (kinda weird moment) Enjpy!
CHAPTER FOUR
"Ok Stone I appreciate the security system but I'm sure I don't need a sixteen-year old to be my bodyguard! I can take care of myself!", I shout to him.
"Ok Silke, calm down", he says and turns to Lily, "Can you please give us a moment? Please?", he asks her as he points to the door.
She gets up from the seat and storms out the room.
"Jeez, couples", she mumbles as she rolls her eyes.
"What?! Ok Stone, explain yourself right now!" I command.
"Look with everything that has been going especially with the…you know…", he says.
"No Stone. I don't know. Use your words." I say to him.
" The blood exchange." He spills out.
A chill goes down my spine as the words come out of his mouth.
" I'm sorry for mentioning it. But we're not sure what could happen. You may have one of your…moments, where you're vulnerable and weak. And there are still people hunting us down. You could be captured or hurt or something. I don't want that to happen to you. That's why I hired Lily."
I look into his eyes and see that he really meant it. He had a really worried look. I think about it for once before screaming my head off at Stone.
"Maybe you're right." I say with regret.
" Finally you understand. I just want you to be safe ok?" he says as he, surprisingly, holds my hand.
I take his hand off and say, "Thanks for the security, but really? A sixteen-year old?"
"I know but trust me she is really good", he says convincingly and then asks, "Just at least try and work with it? Please?"
"Fine", I reply with a I'm-going-to-get-you-back look. Stone lets out a little laugh and opens the door for Lily.
" Finally! Did you guys solve your love problems?", she said with disgust."Cause if you two are a 'thing', I'm going to need a bucket to puke in.
"No need to. We're not dating", Stone says with a laugh.
A smile quickly spread across Lily's face.
"Oh great! Cause the last time I was hired for a couple...ugg! It was disastrous! I suddenly became a relationship consultant instead of a bodyguard", she says.
"Yeah well if you're looking forward to it again anytime soon, contact Stone. He might have some problems", I say with a laugh.
"Aghh, Silke. We are not together. Why are so obsessed about us anyway?"
Uh-oh. If he found out that this was a way to put a stop to my little jealousy issue things might be way uncomfortable between the two of us. Not that I like him of course. Maybe a little. No...Ah! Silke really snap out of it!
"What makes you think I'm obsessed with you two? As if I didn't have anything better to do. No offense", I say, rolling my eyes.
"None taken. Glad you're not though", he says with a sigh.
"Ok…if you two are done with your little chit-chat can we please get going? I need to check up on the cameras", Lily says with a bored voice.
"Cameras!?" Stone and I both shout-ask, exchanging surprised looks.
"Nooo…Lollipops! Yes cameras. What do think? You can't have your own business without security cameras especially in your office? Jeez, you two are way behind. Can we please get going?" Lily replies, obviously annoyed, and leaves the room.
"Gee Stone. Some bodyguard you got there", I say.
"What? I didn't know she was like that! Let's just get going", he says.
Suddenly, I felt like if a brick was thrown straight to my forehead.
"Ah!" I shout and grip my forehead.
Stone immediately turns around and asks, "Hey you ok? Want me to go and get Trace?"
I look up to him to see the worry on his face. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a slight headache", I say.
He moves strands of my hair out of my face and looks at my forehead.
"You sure you're ok?", he asks.
I nod with annoyment. Gosh was he hard to fool.
For some reason, and I don't know how long, but we stood there facing each other, my hand on my forehead and me looking into his eyes and Stone moving the strands of hair and looking back into my eyes. Ok. This. Is. Definitely. Weird. But kind of nice. But then an annoyed voice suddenly breaks the silence.
"Hey, you two coming or not?"
We quickly return to our normal positions but Lily was too fast for us. We turn to see her by the door raising her eyebrows.
"You two better hurry", she says.
She turns around, pauses, then turns around, looks at the two of us and says with a scoff, "So much for not a couple huh?"
And then she left the room with a half-smile.
Stone and I look at each other and roll our eyes.
"She'll never give up with that", Stone tells me.
"You know", I reply. "We better get going for real now", I say.
Stone nods in agreement. I know that I had to forget everything that just happened. We both did. But I also knew it was impossible to do so.
And for what reason, I don't know.
