Chapter 19: Phrase 2: Warehouse..

.....

"You walk into the dark, you should be prepared....

You never know what you'll see, your wildest pain could just eventually come through, So what you gonna do?.....

....

"Ain't you coming in" He said, as I reluctantly hopped into the car, with the obvious frown still glued right on my face, before finally buckling in the seatbelts uncertainly...

I guess I'll never know, until I get there, I repeated blankly to myself, as my dull eyes slowly drifted outside the window, to brace myself for the uncertain ride...

....

"Why on earth have you brought me here" I asked, without wasting any more time, as I immediately hop out of the car, before staring blankly at him, with my already folded arms...

"Cause of my dad" He replied absentmindedly, as he kept on adjusting his black t- shirt, but I ain't got time to sit back and just watch him make himself all pretty again...

Not a chance, I thought frustratedly, before staring back at him with my already pressed lips...

"What exactly do you mean by that "Cause of my dad" I repeated with the most shitty voice that I got, but still I could see that he wasn't affected in the slightest, as all he did was stare back at me "Damnit"...

"He has a warehouse filled with so many of your mom memories, and likely we could find something useful there....

"Like her family's address" I replied almost too quickly, before nodding my head slightly, still trying so hard to waver the bitter thought that seems to be drowning me a whole deeper, but I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed it....

"What's wrong now" I could hear his faint voice whispering right on my ears, as I slowly shifted my gaze away from him...

"Why do you care" I mumbled frustratedly, looking away, as I could feel his eyes still glued on me

"I need to know" He blurted out, as his eyes finally caught up with mine once again, making me feel a whole lot suffocated and bitter, but all I could do was to heave sadly, before looking away once again....

"Let's just say going to a warehouse full with my mom's memories aren't just my thing" I said, still staring at nowhere in particular, trying so hard to hide how it hurts so bad...

"I really do feel suffocated, I might lose it completely" I whispered painfully to myself, but I guess it was loud enough to hear, as I slowly landed my gaze back to his unexplained expression...

Was he actually in pain too?, I thought for a brief second, before I was pulled on the arm by him, as he pulled me way so close to him, and the next thing I felt was his arms wrapped tightly around me...

Was this some kind of hug?, I thought with so much emotions racing through me, as my head laid helplessly on his chest, making my little nose catch the scent of his nice perfume....

"What are you doing" I mumbled confusedly, as I could feel his arms wrapped around me, He really wasn't letting go, even though I had tried pulling away....

"Shh and just keep shut" His voice vibrated, as my head wearily kept on laying on his chest uncertainly....

Trust be told, I've never got hugged before, not like I ever wanted to, like men, come at least three inches close to me and you're dead meat, fuck, if I haven't ever let aunt hug me for this long, then why him, I thought angrily to my confused self....

I should be suffocated by now and punch him right on the face, but no, my hands are shitty numb and I ain't doing anything...

My head racked with so much frustration and anger clouding right inside me...

"What happened to the three feet rule" I regained my strange lost voice back, as his arms kept on wrapped round mine...

"You already broke the rule when you decided to still stay with me all this while" His voice echoed, as my mouth slowly went dumb...

"I....

"Oh just forget the damn rule, you're hurt and I just couldn't resist" He said, hugging me tighter than before, as my shaking unsure hands slowly drifted up to his waist, before confusedly hugging him back ...

"Just save your damn sympathy to yourself" I mumbled quietly under his embrace, as he let out a soft laugh, as I kept on hugging him, still so unsure of what the hell I was exactly doing right now....

"Say whatever you want to, but you can't stop just me from loving you" He blurted out amidst laughter, slowly causing shivers down my spine, as I slowly let go of him...

"I think that's enough now" I mumbled, as I quickly shifted away from him uncertainly, before looking at nothing in particular, still so confused of what the fuck I just did...

"Are you alright now" His voice said, quickly bringing me back to life, as my eyes slowly caught up with his...

"Am better now, thanks" I blurted out, staring blankly into his eyes, as he smiled back at mine...

"Do you still want to go?" He questioned, still fixing his gaze with me, as I arched one of my eyebrows....

"What do you mean" I folded my arms, as my eyes kept on glued to his...

"I ...

"If we go, we may find the address and then BOOM!, sweet revenge" I whispered to him, with a little bitter grin plastered right on my face, as I kept on staring at him....

"You're a bad girl, I like it" He smiled back wickedly, as the grin on my face slowly grew wider...

"Whatever, Partner in crime" I said, as I could see the wider smile forming at the corner of his lips, before he quickly took a few steps forward, beckoning me to come along, as I slowly did, before heaving a soft sigh of determination....

"Revenge is best served cold, am coming for you all and I really don't care if I spend my entire shitty life in jail for this"....

I mumbled silently under my breath, as my eyes slowly glued back to his, before hesitantly placing my hand now on his....
