Chapter 46

The Actual Truth

“That’s like the 100th time he’s called” Max grumbled, seeing Connor’s name flashing up on Gemma’s phone

Picking up her phone, Gemma answered before it went to voicemail again. She sat down on the bed in their room; her body stiff and feeling anxious.

“Hey Con”

“Hey? Hey? Are you kidding me?” He shouted, his voice loud through the phone “I’ve been calling for a week where, at first you were ill and then apparently sleepy due to meds and I kept missing you!”

“I’m sorry” Gemma said as she sat cross-legged on the bed, her manicured toes peeking out.

She felt the bed dip as Max sat beside her, his presence and angry mood radiating out from his body. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes before sighing. Using hand gestures to tell Max to go out, she frowned when he shook his head, folded his arms and stayed on the bed.
