195 Falling into his trap.

Leilani.a

By the time we finished with our little Christmas lunch, it was already late into the evening. Gavin, just like Maya, was tipsy as hell, and this was mostly because she kept pouring drinks into his mouth, just like she did hers, and for some reason, he couldn’t say no to her.

I smiled softly as I walked over to the door and

held it open for them, laughing when they both stumbled out of the house together whilst laughing like maniacs as they did.

And goddess, I hated to say this but they sure did look so good together! They were like two pieces of a puzzle meant to fit… and it hurt to realize that I could never bring myself to experience what they felt for each other,

the fiery passion. The raw emotion. The bond. The everything.

I could never experience any of that and it made

me feel left out.

Shaking these thoughts out of my head- because that is where it is meant to be (out of my head)- my smile subconsciously widened as I listened to them talk over their voices; And then… Maya suddenly turned to me, beamed me a smile and screamed; “Thank you, Lani!”

Her loud voice made me wince slightly; And gosh, I had no idea what she was thanking me for, but seeing her like this… so happy… so fulfilled… so satisfied made a special kind of warmth slowly bloom in my chest. I felt great when I realized then and there that I loved to see her like this.

That I enjoyed seeing her so happy… even though it was mostly due to Gavin’s presence.

She pulled me into a hug and peppered sloppy

kisses on my face and head. And when she was probably satisfied with her craft on my face, she leaned away and pressed her lips to my ear, whispering under her breath; “I think he loves you. Like love loves you.”

I froze, my eyebrows scrunching up in confusion.

It took me a moment to grasp what she was talking about, and when I finally did, I whispered; “No, you’re just drunk.”

“And you’re drunk on your insecurities,” she sassed back, “…thus the reason you cannot see what’s right in front of you.”

Her words made me go quiet for a very brief second, and even though… even though I knew that the words she said were true, I didn’t want to be receiving any form of advice from her. Not yet. Not now that she probably has no idea what she is talking about due to how drunk she is.

I nodded slowly as she finally pulled away from

me and stumbled into Gavin’s waiting arms, waving at me slowly as she called out;

“Byee!”

“Byeeee!” I waved back.

“Merry Christmas!” She slurred as she stumbled

over to his car.

“Merry Christmas to you too!” I yelled back, waving despite the sudden hollow feeling spreading across my chest.

It was at that moment that Gavin finally turned to look at me, a grateful smile on his lips as he muttered; “Thank you.”

But I didn’t respond. Right now, I couldn’t bring myself to speak due to how shaken I was. And as they finally drove off, my chest began to feel even more hollow. I began to wonder if it had been right for me to be so pretentious in front of them.

I wondered if it was worth it to steal some of Gavin’s DNA during the process of ‘hugging him’.

I quietly shut the door behind me and went back into the house, and the first thing I did when I arrived back at the table was to pick up his fork, ignoring Jay’s intense scrutiny as I placed it into a transparent nylon bag.

I also put in the strands of hair I had been able to steal from him, and when I was done with that, I turned around only to gasp when I saw Jay standing right behind me, his eyes thinned into slits as he stared pointedly at the bag in my hands.

“What are you doing with that?” He asked in a

way that almost made me feel embarrassed for doing something like this.

My face burned, mostly due to the fact that he was standing so close to me, filling my head with images that were too R-rated to talk about. But

pushing off these thoughts, I shrugged, feigning nonchalance as I replied; “I’m taking it in for testing.”

“You still believe that they aren’t your real family?” He asked, but this time, I noticed that it wasn’t judgment I heard in his voice. It was pity. It was understanding… and compassion.

I nodded once. “I still do… and I know you think

so too.”

He didn’t say anything else because truthfully, there was nothing left to be said. He simply pulled me into a hug and pressed his lips on my forehead.

I do not know for how long we stood there with him hugging me, plus his sweet warmth seeping into my cashmere sweater, but by the time he finally let me go, I knew that I felt better.

I knew that I no longer felt like shit for going to these measures just to find out what secrets laid

behind my existence.

With a sigh, I let go of him and walked away with the intention of tucking the nylon bag into my bag… and as I did so, I couldn’t help but notice how the small box from yesterday was still hiding behind my large couch, away from public view.

In it had been a strange looking silver necklace with the letter ‘S’ written boldly across its pendant.

I had no idea what it stood for, but it had

managed to peak my curiosity and strengthen my resolve to go and meet with Darius.

And I would… tonight.

Chalice.

Just as I turned into a dark corner and Louis followed, I spun around and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him close to me with a smile

spreading across my face. I whisper- yelled; “I

need you.”

Louis’ eyes flashed with a weird maniacal glee as he looked me up from head to toe. I noticed the way he glanced around as if scared of being found out before he leaned close to plant a quick kiss on my lips.

His voice was low and sweet as he slurred; “I

always need you.”

His words made me blush and a weird sense of desire immediately filled my body. Pushing it off, slapped at his chest playfully before pulling him in for another kiss, moaning when my body trembled against his.

I cast another glance around us and when I realized that our time together was quickly coming to an end, I asked; “What about what I talked to you about the last time we met?” And at that, he frowned.

His brows scrunched together as he pinned me with an intense stare; but after a moment, he finally snapped out of his reverie and asked; “What is that about?”

“My sister!” I hissed, hating the way the words sounded on my lips, And hating myself more for still being associated with Leilani.

If only she would drop dead right this minute!

As if noticing my annoyance, Louis cast me a soft glance- one that I knew was strange coming from someone like him- and whispered; “You still

want me to kill her?”

“Yes,” I answered without hesitation, causing Lou to frown at me. “Will you do it or do I have to look for someone else to help me with it?”

He looked contemplative for a moment, but after a while, shrugged; “What else do you need help with?”

And this is why I love him.

This is why I’m always grateful that he’s my mate. I mean, who else would easily commit crimes just to make me happy?

I beamed a smile at him and drawled; “I need to send a letter to Makayla.”

He stilled. “The witch?”

“Yes, the witch.” I snarled, rolling my eyes.

However, he was just about to respond when the sounds of heavy footsteps suddenly filled my ears and I froze, fearing that we had been found out.

“Chalice!” A voice called out, causing me to freeze when I recognised it to be Zevran’s voice.

In my panic, I fell to the floor, pretending to faint just as soon as he walked in on us.

What I failed to notice however was the weird smile on his face, and the lack of emergency in

his voice as he turned to Lou and asked;

“What happened to her?”

“She fainted!” Lou answered dramatically.

Zevran didn’t even bother to check on me. He

didn’t even spare me another glance as he spat; “Pick her up then.”

And with that, he left without uttering another word, leaving me relieved yet suspicious as to why he didn’t seem surprised.

Goddess, I hope this man isn’t testing me! @
