With Love
When I opened the door to the bathroom, a small cloud of steam rolled out of the bathroom door. I held my hand to my towel to hold it In place while I walked over to my dresser and pulled out some clothing. I quickly discarded my towel into the same trashcan as my old clothing in the bathroom and made my way back to the bedroom and pulled on a black tank top, black skinny jeans and a pair of spike heels I pulled a brush through my tangled hair until it no longer pulled. I stared at the ground as a shadow crawled across it and leaned against the door.
"Did Charlie finally call you?" Nahuel asked.
"Not exactly. But he's... sick." I simply replied distantly continuing to stare at his reflection.
"Do you want to pay him a visit?" He replied.
"I want to, but I'm just going to be putting him in danger. I don't care about everyone else. Only Charlie."
I was being honest. I didn't care what happened to anyone else. Only Charlie. And the rest of my enemies would know that. He'd be the first person they'd hurt to use against me.
"If we can survive here for 2 years and go unnoticed, I'm pretty confident could handle a couple days to visit your sick Grandfather. " Nahuel said. His voice calm.
"I do believe you owe him that. He's the only person you owe at the moment and I think he deserves to have, if his last dying wish to see you, his wish should be granted. Its not too much of him to ask." he continued. I could sense dread in his voice.
"Then I guess I should go see him..." I said. Mostly to myself. I finally rose my eyes to Nahuel.
"I guess I'll get the car packed." He replied. His response surprised me and slightly angered me.
"You're coming with me?" I asked.
"The alternative? You haven't been trained very much. You'll need my assistance, in case something does happen. You probably wouldn't have the ability to handle it yourself." He stated with a mixture of hidden concern, only I could sense.
Nahuel had a way of sounding and acting as if he didn't care but deep down I knew differently. I'd seen him display awkward affections towards me countless times. But right now, it was honestly annoying me. I wished he cared as little as the way he spoke to me sometimes. I could have much more freedom.
I shook my head and looked up at him with an icey eye, sighed and stood. "Fine. It's not like I could sneak passed you anyway. Get out of my way." I said coolly. I shoved passed him through the bedroom door and walked slowly down the hallway and followed to the living room. I was actually impatient. I could purchase new clothing if I needed to.
"I just want to go already. I don't need anything packed." I said. My annoyance was obvious but I didn't care.
"Then lets go." Nahuel replied, calmly as he appeared at the end of the hallway.
I used the green light to head towards the front door, I opened it quickly and walked towards the black CRV that was parked directly in front of the house. I opened the driver side door and crawled into it. I gave Nahuel about a second to follow behind me, or I'd leave him. But to my disappointment, he caught up. He appeared in the passenger side seat and adjusted himself comfortably.
"Let get this show on the road, Ms. Warpath" he teased.
