Chapter 37
Jared Pov
Abi was too tired, I could tell. But no way was I going to tell her what I was going to do to save Fang.
In the vision, we would verse Anisha and Parker and all the other betrayers. I had a plan that would involve, me dying. That was fine by me but Abi would disapprove it. She always wants to risk her life not mine. This time I would risk mine without letting her know.
She was too stubborn onto finding out my plan. She took a very good guess which I hope my expression didn't give away too many things. I hoped.
I knew another distraction which she would probably not do anything. It was my only option to do, even though she hasn't told me her decision yet.
While she was staring off into space, I slowly closed the space between us and kissed her.
She was startled so I did the best I could to keep her from pulling back first. As usual she waited to see how far I would take this. At first it was like any kiss I've had with her. I put my arms around her waist.
Something in Abi's mind changed right there because for the first time she actually kissed me back.
Apparently I was the one startled now, so I pulled back.
I looked in her eyes but I got nothing out of them. Maybe…
"So I guess you've decided at this point," I asked her.
She smiled and rested her head against my chest, "I guess I have."
I put my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me. "What made you decide at this moment?" I asked her.
She shifted in my arms so she could look up at me. "It's really stupid," she stated
It probably wasn't, "You can tell me. I won't laugh. Promise," I told her.
She shook her head, stubborn as usual. Hmmmm…I wonder.
I picked Abi up bridal style. She clung on to me tight which made me wonder if she was afraid of heights.
"Jared put me down, please," she begged me.
"Are you afraid of heights?" I asked her.
"I don't like falling onto the ground. Not one of the best experiences I've had," Abi replied looking away from me.
I put her down gently and I lifted up her head so I could see her eyes. She was trying to hold tears back.
"I'm sorry Abi," I started off saying, "What did I do?"
Tears started dripping down her face. I brought her closer to me so she didn't have to feel too bad. She was able to speak, "No, it just reminded me of something. I'm sorry Jared."
"Never be sorry. Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her.
She shook her head against my chest. I better have a better plan to get things out of her next time. I should to keep her happy. She always needs to be happy when I'm still around.
