Her Freezing Heart novel Chapter 30

I stirred in the bed to find myself restricted to move in a very dark room. Yup I freaked out and kicked everything I can touch. I heard a ‘umphh’ followed by a huge thud and the lights turned on. I found a very angry Steven glaring at me from beside the lamp after my eyes adjusted to the sudden light. I grinned at him apologetically and mad a dash for it but as soon as my feet touched the floor, my legs turned jelly and I lost my balance. I don’t think I have gained the feelings back in them completely yet. I readied myself for the face plant with the ground but it never came. Steven had already picked me up in his arms. My knight in shining armor who is very angry at the moment. I think I should make a run for it.

“You know you almost had a very interesting interaction with the hard floor right?” Steven said amused.

I nodded and hid my face in the crook of his neck, blushing madly. He laughed at my expense making me pout.

“You are adorable.” He said pecking my pouty lips.

I poked my tongue at him playfully but my stomach decided to screech like a dying whale in the very moment making my face heat up in embarrassment. Please mother earth, open up and swallow me whole. Steven gave a booming laugh and carried me to the living room and plopped me beside a very gloomy Austin. Austin looked to be besides himself. I looked at Steven for explanation but he just shrugged and left towards the kitchen. He did look a little worried though.

“Austin.” I called touching his hand.

He jerked out of his trance and looked around wildly, scaring the shit out of me. His eyes then landed on my hand and then me. He forced a smile towards me.

“Are you alright?” I asked him.

“Yeah.” He was lying. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”

“You don’t look okay.’’ I replied ignoring his later question.

“Just thinking. That’s all.” This time he smiled genuinely. “What about you? How are you feeling?”

“My limbs feel like jelly but beside that I am perfectly fine. I will be back to normal once I eat something.” I said grinning.

“Good. Now that’s the Amara I was missing.” He said playfully.

We heard a very prominent hiss from the kitchen. Yup! Loud enough for my non sensitive ears. Austin gave a very booming laugh.

“You have a very possessive boyfriend.” Austin said smirking.

“We are not dating.” I mumbled.

He haven’t asked me out yet.

“Yes we are.” Steven shouted from the kitchen.

“You haven’t asked me out yet.” I fired back.
