I dragged her exterior the place Cristo was ready. There was no hint of my father, which I used to be extraordinarily grateful for. As quickly as we have been up in my room and closed the door behind us, Jemma visibly deflated and sank down on the mattress. “I’m in bother.”

“In bother?”

She nodded. “He is aware of.”

I raised my brows. “What would he know?”

Jemma took a deep breath, then grabbed her laptop computer bag, stuffed her laptop computer inside, and confronted me once more. “If I present up lifeless in a ditch, it was him. Now pack your issues, and let’s get out of right here.”

I stared at her for some time till she went into my closet, pulled out a suitcase, and threw random garments inside. I seemed round in my room. There wasn’t something right here that I couldn’t reside with out.

So as an alternative of serving to Jemma pack up my issues, I stared out of the window, which Jemma had someway repaired, on the damaged department on the bottom.

I had gotten fortunate. And never solely as a result of Alex was there to interrupt my fall.

“I’ll get on my knees, inform you how a lot I like you, beg you to remain by my aspect for the remainder of our lives, and to come back house with me.”

I used to be fortunate as a result of I discovered a person prepared—or silly sufficient—to offer his life for mine, prepared to do no matter it took to maintain me secure and blissful, and who cherished me precisely as I used to be.

And now, it was time to create the lifetime of our desires.

Collectively.

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR

“Hey, sleepyhead.”

I opened my eyes and seemed up into Alex’s face, then realized he was carrying me. “We’re right here?”

He nodded and grinned. “You fell asleep as quickly as we boarded the aircraft.”

I narrowed my eyes. That was not one thing that normally occurred to me. In any respect. “Did you set one thing in my water?”

He seemed offended for a second, then raised a single eyebrow. “Why would I do this once I may’ve launched you to the mile-high membership on our flight over?”

I took a beat, then nodded. Fascinated about it, that might’ve been the extra Alex-like factor to do. “Then how did I sleep throughout the entire flight?”

Alex locked eyes with me, all of a sudden all humorousness utterly gone. “How properly did you sleep the final couple of days?”

I inhaled. Not good in any respect. I’d felt confused, anxious, and completely alone. So not good in any respect.

“That’s what I assumed,” Alex stated, then leaned ahead and kissed my nostril. “Add that to your stunt from this afternoon, and it’s no marvel you have been out like a light-weight.”

This afternoon. Me leaping out of the window, Alex catching me, and the tense state of affairs afterwards.

“What occurred after I dragged Jemma out of there?”

Alex checked out me, however there was a storm brewing in his eyes. I’d requested him on our means towards the airport, however he’d refused to reply. “Alex. You informed me you really liked me.”

He nodded.

“Meaning you’ll be able to’t hold vital issues from me.”

He nodded once more.

“So?”

He sighed, and if he hadn’t been carrying me, he in all probability would’ve used his hand to run it by way of his hair. “Let’s speak after we arrive on the hospital, so I don’t should repeat every thing.”
