THE HIDDEN SECRETS[?]

Chapter 13

"Ahhaahhan! This how you welcome your..your big man, huh?" his cheeks flushed with red.

"Come on--" before I could finish the sentence a throat cleared that made me look at the doorway. This time he was glaring at our joined hands like he is going to rip off something, something what?

"Mr. Hunter? How may I help you?" I asked flashing him a smile but my heartbeat accelerated heavily for an unknown reason like I did something wrong behind his back.

"Hoo! nice to see you, Mr. Hunter. Reil has told a lot about you. Whenever we talk she brings your name that made me kinda jealous to the core, sometimes." He smiled stretching his hand towards him.

Arghh! Does this man have any shame? I looked at him with open mouth. Please don't tell him that I used to call him--

"And yeah! she often calls you Mr. Walking stick." He spilled the beans indirectly writing my death will.

"But now I realized why she gave you that name." Shut the fuck up, Fed. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. He is not here to see me instead here to write my death will. I cried internally.

"Nice to meet you. By the way your name?" Mr. Hunter asked, his hands were tucked inside his pant pocket. I at least expected a glare from him but no, his mind is somewhere else. And Stupid Fed!! he fed unwanted information to him like he asked and forget to give his name. I cursed him.

"Opps! Sorry, my bad. I'm Federick Stone." They both shook their hand but I didn't fail to notice the unpleasant look on Mr. Hunter's face. Huh? am I saw the same look on Fed's face too. Nah! he is so sweet and friendly type.

"Okay, see you later then." I thought he is going to leave my cabin but he turned towards me and hooked his hands with me. "Shall we?" He asked.

"Where?" I asked, my eyes didn't leave his face.

"Surprise!! He sang before dragging me out of my own cabin where Mr. Hunter stood there with a blank expression, huh?! may I say bitter expression on his face?

"So, where did you guys go?" Emiem asked once we all set up around the dining table for dinner.

"Nothing special." I shrugged my shoulders. "He just took me for shopping and bought me some dress." I informed when they all gave me a 'We need more details.' look.

"That's it." Dacy slummed her shoulders in defeat as she expected something big.

"Hmm.. yeah!" I bit the large bite of my chicken burger which Federick insisted to take along with me.

"This tasted divine." Natasha moaned. "Please ask him to visit you often." Chole added chewing the portion of her burger.

Fed knows the matter very well that If he buys me one, I would share a bite to my colleagues and a small piece won't be given to me at the end. So he bought ten burgers, five sandwiches with two large size pizza.

Lately, He acted so weird like a schoolboy wandering around the empty street at night. "Come soon." He lingered a wet kiss on my forehead one last time before the flight to Bangalore took off. Huh!! I missed him already. I sighed.

"Reil, when I heard Mr. Hunter's screaming I thought it was you again brought him a trouble but thank god! you are saved. The poor man almost lost his life." Emiem shook his head sympathetically.

"What are you saying?" I placed the burger on the plate and looked at her intensively waiting for her answer.

She gave me a defeated look like I failed in my math subject and said, "He hit one of the plumbers just because he touched his bullet."

What? Is he real?! I looked at her with wide eyes. "Seems he already was in a bad mood." She emptied the glass of water. He hit the man for plain reason?!! Unbelievable!!!

My appetite was long gone and I felt guilty. Why? Even though I didn't do anything wrong I have a feeling that because of me that poor man suffered.

"Aren't you eating?" Nichole asked once she saw my plate. "I already ate with Fed." I stood up ready to leave.

"Good night." I whispered, my mind was in front of the scene where he hit the man mercilessly. Even a thought gave me a Goosebumps all over my body.

"Good night." They said in chores.

I slipped under the warm bed sheet once I entered into my room and my eyelids closed instantly. Today is a very hectic day.

After a while I fell asleep and felt someone from behind me hugging my small frame followed by a soft kiss on my forehead and the voice in my dream whispered possessively, "you are only mine."

A grin formed in the corner of my mouth as the voice calming my inner soul, it held the truth and promise. 

I turned around, my eyes were still closed. I placed my head on his chest then wrapped my hand around his waist. It's been few days since I started to fall into this dream and I liked it.

"Now sleep well." He stroked my hair. "So smooth.." I sang before fell into the complete darkness.
