“I like you.” he repeated this time I didn't have to think that something was wrong with my hearing.

“No you don't. You hate me.” I said in rejection and pushed back in my chair. It was difficult to look into his eyes.

“People change-” he was clearly messing with me.

“No, they don't. You can't just like someone you hate.”

“Eden- I'm not joking here.” he objected. My mind was arching and his lie saddled on there.

“Well I don't believe you.” I announced again with a fiercely. “I don't believe anything that you'll tell me right now Percy because you've always lied to me and then you want me to believe that you like me just when I caught you with your ex girlfriend which I remind you, you told me you'll never see if she even wanted to, and now you did-” I gasped trying to recover all my breath.

    Chapter 79Percy povIt was difficult to sleep, even after seeing her awake, it wasn’t enough to keep me from worrying. After I watched her have a full blown panic attack, I blamed myself for it. Now she laid peacefully on her side deep asleep, it had taken a while for her to go back to bed but she did eventually. I had climbed in the other side and had my back to the headrest, the soft rising and falling of her body calmed me down but it wasn’t enough to send me to sleep. The rumbling from outside held my gaze for a few seconds, it was dark and the flash outside lit up the sky. “Y-“ my eyes moved down to her face, her slightly parted lips moved with no audible sound and her hands curled into her chest. Her hair was beginning to loose out of the cage of the scrunchie. I brushed some of the hair away from her face and tucked it far away, she moved again and turned with her back to me making the blanket shuffle down her body. My phone vibrated on the night stand and I grabbed the de

    Chapter 80Eden povThe flight back wasn’t as gruesome as the one we had when we left, we had sat together and I in his hands, we watched a movie together and I fell asleep afterwards. When I woke up, Percy wasn’t next to me, I adjusted myself on the seat and was ready to stand when he returned with a bottle of water. “You’re up.” He nestled beside me placing a quick kiss to the top of my head. “We’re almost at our destination.” He added.Now there was a problem, Percy confessed that he liked me and it left me with so many questions. One; he never said how much. Two; was I supposed to tell him about how I feel about him? It was among the numerous questions that lived in my head. He hasn’t said anything about me telling him anything in return but it’s been a bit difficult seeing that he openly confessed his feelings. When I felt soft lips against mine, I was brought back to reality. My eyes fluttered shot and his warm hands cupped my cheeks before pulling away.“You zoned out a bit.”

It's been weeks since I've seen Eden, weeks since she came to me for help, the contract with Percy was the only thing keeping her. Why then was she here to see me?The door opened and she walked in, it was difficult to stay calm when she looked liked her mother. It was difficult for me to keep a straight face and talk to her without having to bear the guilt. Her soft eyes caught with mine from where she stood and with the way her lips were in a thin line I knew she was here for something. “To what do I owe this meeting.” I said leaning back in the chair, my hands rested on the side of the chair as she remained standing. “I can't remember sending for you.” “Thats because you didn't. I'm here to speak to you about something.” she replied calmly. I've known Eden to be fierce and sharp mouthed, just lik

You're going to keep on hating her like you have from the very beginning, let her hate you again and be reminded that this isnt real.” he warned with a stern voice.“I'm afraid it's not possible.” I objected. “I can't do that to her, not like this.”There was a pause on his end but I could hear his heavy breathing.“So what?
