Be Careful When You Bite Me novel Chapter 49

The elevator ride was silent and so was the car ride for the first couple of minutes. Finally, I broke the silence," where are you going to go?"

Damon peeked at me," I don't know yet."

I nodded," do you have an idea?"

"I have some friends in Europe, some in Canada, I'll make a few calls today and tomorrow."

"Europe," I muttered, taken back.

He smiled," you don't like Europe?"

"It's not that, I was just thinking you'd go maybe to Alaska, not-"

"Not so far?" He finished for me.

I nodded again, this time staring out the window.

"Vesto made it clear that if he catches me, he'll kill you. If I want to win this hunt against him, I'm going to have to disappear-"

"But Europe?"

"I'm not being chased by local law enforcement or the FBI Holly," he continued," Vesto has people all over the globe, if I could I'd hibernate underground somewhere for the entirety of the year, but I can't."

"I understand, I just...how are we supposed to-"

"How are we supposed to see each other if I'm 4,000 miles away?"

I remained silent.

"We don't," he said. This was the answer that I was expecting, but I didn't know why it was so hard to hear," it's not safe, they know about us, Vesto will make sure that you are under surveillance 24/7 the entire time I will be gone."

I kept my gaze outside, trying to stifle the tears that burned my eyes. The feeling of dread, having to live an entire year without feeling his touch, hearing his voice, or even being near him, it filled me with misery. I felt my chest clench and my heartache. I felt his hand grip my thighs and turned to look at him.

"You didn't ask," I said. The tears had overflowed now and flooded down my face but I tried to keep my expression somewhat neutral.

"What?" His forehead scrunched in confusion," ask you what?"

"If I could come with you, because I do, but you didn't even ask-"

"Holly, of course I want you to come with me," he replied, his gaze softening," but I can't let you do that, before we met you had a life, a family, you need to get back to it and when it's safe-"

"When it's safe?" I exclaimed," you mean if you don't get killed if I don't get killed, waking up every day for the next year thinking is this the day that I'm going to die if we somehow make it!"

He sighed out loud, turning his eyes to watch the road in front of him. I knew and he knew that was the stress and the anxiety talking. I couldn't help the fear that flooded me, it was almost paralyzing. It was getting harder and harder to breath.
