Chapter 38: Especially tonight
KENDALL 'S POV -
After fullfilling what he had come to do, he pushed me out the door. His voice reverberated in my head, as he sprinted down the hallway," Remember...no one should even get a hint of what we are planning."
The memory again flashed in my mind as I faced the empty hallway before me, after escorting Miranda back to her room. All after spending some hours with Samarah and her. I internally convinced myself by thinking," It's the only option I have. I can't risk all this." Opening my closed eyes, I found Ken before me as he looked at me with wild eyes.
I had never seen the usually calm and composed Ken look so feral before so I froze like a statue as his wild eyes searched mine. Fastening an iron grip over my wrists, he dragged me straight to his room. Upon entering, he almost flung me on the bed while standing a few feet away, his back tuned towards me. I nervously muttered," K.. K..Ken"
Still facing away from me, he slowly uttered," What do you think are you doing?"
"What?!" , I exclaimed genuinely shocked on whether he was aware of what had happened earlier. After taking a long drag to calm himself down he spoke slowly," Do you really love me?" Immediately I replied with a sharp yes as if on instinct.
Then the later words shook my world," Do you want to be my mate Kendall?", his eyes were burning as he spoke his sentence. His expression seemed wild but yet afraid that I would not consent. But seeing him all crazy over me as he proposed to me in a loose t - shirt and sweats, his hair plastered to his face as a right after shower look made my heart do weird things and my silence lasted a little too long.
He finally turned to face me. His cheeks looked red and his face covered in sweat as his features fell immediately.
Immediately I went to cradle his head in my arms so I spoke in a softer octave," Baby, what happened? Are you Ok?" He immediately melted in my arms as his head rested on my chest.
With half lidded eyes he gazed upwards , longingly at my lips and I closed the distance between us. He took me hungrily in his mouth. Then with a serious tone he whispered," I fear what's coming towards us. I fear how much time we have together. I fear whatever 'he' has planned this time is gonna be big and I fear it is gonna break us apart." His voice broke at the end.
Seeing the always distant and icy glazed man crumple like a child in front of me provoked something in me as I bit sharply," Even death can't seperate us now baby, for we are not connected by a bond. We are connected from our spirits." He seemed to ease at my words as he made us both fall softly on the soft mattress beneath us.
Gripping an arm tightly around me, he clutched the hem of my shirt with his free hand as I landed soft kisses on his lips, foreheads, nose basically over all which I could get access to, until we both fell asleep in each other's arms like an old couple.
3rd person POV -
A mysterious shadow lay hidden in the darkness silently observing a sleeping Samarah hug her pillow while her water fall hair covered most of her good facial features. The shadow somehow seemed to get annoyed by the previous fact as it stepped closer to the blissfully sleeping brunette and brushed the hair nestling her face, out of the way.
Then a lone finger traced Samarah's soft cheek as he groggily croaked out," Damon... I....i. Is that y....y?" , the voice died down before ending the sentence. But nevertheless, it startled the mysterious shadow enough that it hurriedly left the room albeit glancing a last longing look at her.
KENDALL 'S POV -
I couldn't help but break into a smile on being met with the sweet face of a peacefully asleep Ken in my arms. A ray of sunlight trickled through the blinds landing directly on Ken's face. One of my hands rested on Ken's back while the other Kay beneath his head to act as a support.
I tried blocking the sunlight with the hand in top of him but instead he scooter closer to me while cradling my hand back to his original face. I hugged him tighter vowing to never let go.
Especially tonight.
