UNFAZED - Book Three In The Unknown Identity Series

Chapter 11 - She's Here

"No."

He plead again.

I let out a defeated sigh, because he wan't gonna stop. "Fine!"

"Thank you."

I was about to hang up when a question suddenly came into my mind. "Wait a second..."

"What?"

"How'd you get this number?"

"Uh... the same way I get everyone else's I looked." His tone sounded bored.

"Oh..."

of course. I felt so stupid for asking that.

   "Well...Uh, I'll be down there in a bit, bye." Bennett stated awkwardly through the phone, and hung up. I seriously would have never expected this to happen. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I mean the fact that I'm actually trusting - well half trusting - Bennett. And the fact that I'm actually letting him see Jay after all that he's done to her terrifies me, though I think it might be good, but honestly, I have no idea if it's a good thing or bad thing to do.

   She would be here soon, and I have no idea how she's gonna react to me or him.

  Was it to late to change my mind about this? Was this a good idea in the first place? Was it?

***

   Knock. Knock. Knock.

   She's here.

   I was quick to get to the door, mainly because my mind is buzzing in anticipation to see her agin, though she probably dreading seeing me...and that was all my fault that she felt like that. If I just didn't lie...

   "Is that her?"

   "Yeah."

   Grabbing and unlocking the white painted door to the apartment, I let out a shaky breath, reassuring myself over and over that everything was going to be okay and that it was already too late to back out now. A big part of me wished that I just had said 'no' to Bennett when he called. I should have just trusted my instincts, but as we all know, it's way to late now.

   The door came free from the gold panel that was drilled into the wall, reviewing a short, blonde girl, staring up at me with sparkling green eyes, they were piercing. Jay stood, alone, in the vacant hallway, stepping forward into the threshold, she caught me off guard when she wrapped her arm around my neck, pulling me into an embrace. I did the same, but wrapped my arms around her waist instead and pulled her cold figure to my chest, relieved that she's back now.

   "I'm sorry." She whispered faintly, letting go and stepping back so she could actually look me in the eyes. "I'm sorry for yelling at you that night and acting like a child when I know I shouldn't have. I understand now why you did it...why you lied...and I respect that. I can't imagine how it felt to hide it all, all the time. And I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for acting out, it wasn't my place to."

   I just smiled down at her, wanting to hold her again like we were minutes ago.

  "It's not your fault, please...don't apologize. It was my fault because I made you do it, you don't have to apologize for anything." I leant down, pecking her soft lips and pulling her into yet another embrace, warmth raiding my body instantaneously.

   "Come on, let's go inside and get you comfortable. There's someone here to see you." At that, Jay's face turned skeptical, confused to the fact of what I said, probably wondering why there was someone here.

  But, I just hope that this goes well and doesn't backfire on me, because I don't know what I would do if I did.

  Probably something I'll regret later...
