Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 155

The paper target less than five metres a 

away stood intact. 

“Um.‘ Kira tried to look around for the bullet. 

Did she hit a tree? 

Laughing, Damian took the Glock from her. “The gun’s not loaded.” 

“What?” 

“There’re no bullets in it. What you did was dry firing.” 

“Uh, why?‘ 

‘It’s your first time handling a weapon. I’m not going to give you a loaded gun. We’re just learning how to hold the gun and pull the trigger. If you want to learn how to shoot at targets, we’ll need another lesson.” 

Damian pulled back on the slide and showed her the chamber. ‘See? Empty.” 

“What about blank rounds? Kira asked. ‘You know, like the kind they use in movies. A lot of bang, but no 

damage.‘ 

Damian shook his head. ‘Like you said, blanks still create quite a bang. You’re not wearing earplugs. I want you to walk out of here in one piece, including your hearing.” 

“Oh, I see.” Kira nodded. 

“Now, show me how you pick up a gun.‘ Damlan set the Glock down on a long wooden table covered with handguns and pistols. 

Kira tried to recall what he taught her earlier. 

The sun was out in full force today. 

Kira was soon sweating 

Damian noticed Kira fanning herself with her hands. ‘Let’s take a break‘ 

He led her to a shady spot under a majestic ginkgo tree, where a table and two chairs had been set up. 

An attentive waiter served drinks and cut fruits. 

“Thank you” Kira nodded at him politely. 

be slaked her thirst with a glass of ice–cold lemon juice. 

“Miss Hewitt, Damian spoke when she put down the glass, ‘do you know a person by the name of Gideon Garner?” 

Kira’s hand froze mid–air 

There was a buzzing in her head. 

Did she just bear Gideon’s name? 

The lemon juice worked too fast, sending a chill into her bloodstream. 

The motion jolted her back to reality. 

She forced out a smile. ‘I don’t know what you are talking about.” 

Demian kept his eyes trained on her face, which had gone pale. 

He offered a smile. “Never mind. It was just a random question. Forget I ever asked.‘ 

Kira tried to forget it, but couldn’t. 

She was suddenly thirsty all over again. 

She licked her dry lips. “May I ask why you wanted to know?”

Damian leaned back in his chair, twirling the unloaded Glock around his trigger finger like a cowboy. ‘I know a guy called Gideon Garner. I happened to see a photo in his wallet once. It was of a young girl, taken some years ago. The girl bore more than a passing resemblance to you, and Gideon seemed to cherish that photo a lot. So I got curious.‘ 

Kira’s head was whirling. 

She gripped the edge of the aluminium table. ‘Maybe I just have one of those faces. You know, Miss Average.” 

Damian handed the Glock to the waiter standing nearby. 

He stood up. ‘Austyn must be getting impatient now. Let’s go.” 

“Sure.‘ 

Kira followed him, her mind a mess. 

‘Where’s Giana?‘ Kira asked. 

Austyn was leaning back in his chair, sans sunglasses. 

He didn’t look at Kira. ‘She left.” 

To go where?! 

Austyn shrugged. ‘She didn’t say. She left after getting a phone call.” 

Kira frowned. “Why didn’t she tell me?” 

She had her phone with her. 

Giana could have called. 

“You were having fun,‘ Austyn said. ‘She didn’t want to intrude.‘ 

Kira narrowed her eyes. “Did you tell her not to 

Austyn looked up at her. 

She was standing with her hands on her hips, with the sun over her right shoulder. 

Her face was bright red, with a sheen of sweat on her forehead.. 

Thinking of what Giana said earlier, Austyn stood up. 

He towered over Kira, who had to raise her head to look up at his face. 

She stared into a pair of dark, fathomless eyes. 

Kira inched back half a step. 

Before she could say anything, Austyn raised his hand and poked a finger at her forehead. ‘Silly girl.” 

Silly for not telling him about her plans and for keeping everything to herself. 

If not for Giana, the misunderstanding between them would have continued to fester.
