Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 52

　　The next morning Theo went off to work, leaving me with Tobias. I told them I didn’t need a babysitter, but they ignored me. I could tell they didn’t trust me. I had no intentions of running again after what happened the last time. Sitting on the couch, Tobias came over handing me a hot cup of coffee.

　　“What’s the plan today then?” I asked hoping he would have some idea of what we could do that doesn’t revolve around the TV. This place was boring sometimes, especially with its lack of internet and there weren’t many books left on the shelf I hadn’t read, and I had no intentions of ready the dictionaries or geography books that remained on the shelf.

　　“I don’t know, what do you want to do?” he asked rubbing my leg.

　　“Well, that’s why I asked you. If I knew I would be doing it. What do you and Theo usually do out here?” He shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing. Work, have sex, and that’s about it.”

　　“And I thought my life was boring.” Maybe living in my car wasn’t so bad after all. I pondered. At least I could walk down to the beach or to the park or something. There was nothing to do here unless I wandered around the bush which I won’t be doing.

　　“Hey, we aren’t boring, we did stuff just things you can’t do.”

　　“Like what?” I instantly regretted asking. I could feel through the bond what he meant through the bond.

　　“Bianca,” he said. Bianca? Who the fuck was this Bianca and why was she out here?

　　“Who’s Bianca?” I asked.

　　He stared at me blinking a couple of times. “What did you just say?”

　　“Only the name you just told me, so who is she? Who’s Bianca?”

　　“Imogen, I didn’t say her name out loud.” I was mystified, I could have sworn I heard him say the name Bianca. But if he didn’t say this woman’s name, why does it sound like he knows who I’m talking about?

　　“Who’s Bianca?” I asked again hoping this time for an answer.

　　“No one you need to worry about, Imogen.”

　　“So, you did say it and you know who I am talking about?”

　　“I didn’t say it, you must have picked it up through the bond. I thought it, didn’t say it, Imogen,” before walking out of the room. Who is this woman for him to have such a strong reaction to her name? I got up and followed him up the stairs. Just as I got to the top step, he shut the door and locking me out. I banged on it. “What the fuck Tobias, who is she?”

　　“Leave it be, she isn’t an issue now go away.” I felt nausea build up in my stomach, why was he acting like this. Does he love her is that why, who is she to him, to them? And why did he instantly think of her when I asked what they got up to?

　　I wasn’t the only one and that realisation, made my blood run cold. I wasn’t naïve I knew they probably had been with other women before me. But why so defensive over this woman. I felt tears build up and I had to swallow down the lump that formed in my throat. I turned suddenly wanting to get away from him, I knew without a doubt this woman meant something and more than he was willing to tell me. I turned and walked down the stairs; I had a million questions running through my head. If I didn’t find out who she was I knew It would eat away at me.

　　Opening the front door, I walked out toward the garden. There was no point in leaving they would track me down. Sitting next to my mother’s plant I cried. I couldn’t hold it in any longer. Everything was moving too fast, my life moving out of my control and now they were keeping secrets from me. I don’t know how long I was out there for when suddenly Theo sat beside me. I wiped my eyes embarrassed to be seen crying. He placed his hand on my shoulder before pulling me to him and wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I felt him kiss my head.

　　“Why are you here?”

　　“Tobias,” He simply stated. I shook my head and stood up.

　　“I want to go back to the apartment; I won’t put up with you keeping secrets.”

　　“Secrets?” he asked, his eyes brows furrowing like he didn’t understand. “Who’s keeping secrets?”

　　“You and Tobias.” Theo looked up toward the top floor of the house standing at the window was Tobias watching us and listening in. I rolled my eyes; he hasn’t got the balls to tell me so instead sends for Theo the bloody coward.

　　“Take me back to the city,” I said sternly.

　　“Imogen you know we can’t do that.” I shoved past him, walking back towards the house deciding to head to the shed I detoured the house. I could feel him following me. But I could also feel his confusion, well I am not explaining shit he can speak to his other mate. I opened the garage door. Only to find both cars not here. I slammed the roller door down. How was I going to leave with no car?

　　“I want to leave, let me leave.”
