Chapter 27 I’ll protect her
GRAY’S POV
” Collins, I told you not to call today, I’m quite busy right now “.
I turned back to make sure Luna wasn’t standing behind me, and when I didn’t see her, I heaved loudly and kept on walking further.
” What about the goods , did you get it safe to the warehouse? I asked wondering how the mission had gone.
” We did Gray, it’s safe but we kind of lost two men , I think we might have underestimate them a bit , they were quite stronger than we thought”.
” Alright, and what I asked you to find out? How far have you gone with it.
Collins cleared his throat a bit hearing such words from me before replying.
” I still haven’t found him yet, for all we know, he might have died or so, but I’ll keep on searching”.
I clenched my hands turning them into fist .
” Find that fucking bastard , and when you do beat him up till he talks , and when he refuses kill him slowly “.
” Gray , it’s been a week since that incident, and yet nothing else has happened since then , come over let’s talk , you wouldn’t want Luna to find out about this right ? I heard Collins say and I nodded immediately.
” I’ll be there soon , how about the Italian trader , how long do we need to keep awaiting them ?.
” They should arrive in a week time , contacted them few hours ago . I have it all under control, just focus more on finding out what the hell happened that night” Collins replied and instantly I ended the call.
LUNA’S POV
I was just a little distance darther away from Gray , and if I had stayed there, I probably would have been able to hear his conversation on phone , but I really don’t know what made me turn back .
Probably because I wanted to trust Gray more , I knew deep down that he wasn’t hiding anything from me , but lately he’s been acting all strange and really busy .
Well he’s a business man too, so what can I say.
I smiled and continued training hard , this time I was gonna use the bullets to break down the bottle on the table.
” Hey baby ” I heard Gray’s voice from behind and I smiled as he approached me.
” You done ? I asked and he nodded.
” Yeah , you hungry ? He asked me , and immediately I heard it , I smiled .
He held me by the waist and slowly dragged me outside.
” do you have something you wanna tell me ? maybe like something I should know ? I asked while he rested on my shoulders.
He looked at me , ” nothing, come on , let’s go eat okay , you trust I wouldn’t hide anything from you right ? Gray said , and I smiled happily at him making me believe him more.
” I’m sorry I doubted you Gray,. Hope I’m forgiven huh ? I said giving him a puppy eyes.
” It’s fine Luna , yunno eyes like that rarely works on me.
We held hands together, and walked down the stairs playing as we climbed down .
Gray made sure to ensure I sat down comfortably close to him , and then he went over to also take his seat beside me .
” Baby , do you wanna go out with me tonight? I heard Gray’s voice say.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
” Really, on a date ! I questioned trying hard not to make my cheeks turn tomato red.
” Date!! Yeah date , let’s call it a date” Gray replied making me give him a killer look.
.
” Gray , what’s wrong, if you’re going through anything, you can tell me okay ” I said trying to be serious, but he found it funny.
He chuckled holding my hands,
” Luna I’m fine, I didn’t just think of it as a date . I really wanted our first date to be quiet special, not on an ordinary day , but a special day …. but I promise I’ll make tonight special for both of us okay ” he replied.
Oh God, he really knows how to convince me so much.
I tightened his hands while smiling,
” Gray , thank you so much !!.
And when we continued eating and laughing together, his phone rang again .
This time he picked it up in front of me .
” Gray , hurry up , it’s urgent”
I really couldn’t hear what they were saying completely, but that was the only thing I was able to hear.
Gray stood up immediately the call ended.
” Baby, I’ll be back to pick you up tonight, I got an urgent call from the company , I really forgot I had an emergency meeting this noon . I’m so sorry love I’ll. make it up to you okay _ I promise”
He immediately ran upstairs, maybe to grab his keys and when he came downstairs, I was awaiting him.
” Be careful okay ! Drive carefully! I shouted enough for him to hear.
He came back towards me and kiss me on the lips.
” I love you ” he said and hurried towards his car.
As he sped out of the house I waved him goodbye and forcefully carved a smile on my lips as I walked back into the house.
Something’s definitely up with Gray,
I left my food , and walked the stairs , I just felt like clearing my mind at that moment , maybe I wanted to stop thinking about that night.
It still creeps me out a lot , but thankfully nothing like that happened again.
I opened the door to room and walked over to the bed to relax . As I layed on my bed , I began recalling memories of all I had been through back at home.
And later started thinking about my dad, I wish he could see his daughter now , all grown up , beautiful and well taken care of .
I really wanted to tell Dad about all I had been through during those period, I wanted to cuddle him tight and tell him I’m doing okay , and living fine with a man I truly love .
I wanted to hold his hands and tell him that because of all what my stepmom did to me , I was able to meet my destined man , I was able
to meet Gray , a man who had desperately been searching for me all along.
I really wanted to visit dad and talk to him about Gray, I wanted to have a daughter and father time together with him alone , and listen to every single details of how he had been living his life without me .
I wanted to know if he was actually having a hard time without me , I wanted so bad to know if he stopped drinking since I left home , maybe he changed .
As these thoughts filled my mind , I couldn’t help but cry , to free my tears and cry so much that I had to cuddle my pillow so tight for support .
GRAY’S POV
” what’s so urgent Collins ”
” Gray , I got a call from one of the Civella’s right now , saying to terminate the deal . But the problem is the object it’s in their custody and they have no plans of dropping the cash ”
” Worse part …. Johnny’s dead ”
” What the hell did you just say , what the hell were you doing when all these happened huh ? Waoh they wouldn’t dare do such ” I replied trying hard not to let my anger take a better part of me
” What about the rest , did they arrive safely? ”
” Yes they all did , but what are we gonna do about this ” Collins asked trying to calm my down but instead I smirked
” Wait … Are you joking around right now , this isn’t the right time for that Gray , it’s deep shit going on yunno right ”
” Enough man , they wouldn’t just get away like that ! We’ll make it really quiet when it’s time ” I replied him tapping him hard on the shoulder
” Gray , you sure about this ? ” I heard Collins say
” They messed with us first , so we should give them a payback don’t you think ? ” .
I took out two cigarettes from the glass table close to me , and handed one over to Collins.
” Still haven’t found that bastard ? ” I asked filling my mouth with smoke , also inhaling it out .
Handing over the lighter to Collins, I took a seat on the sofa
” Nah , not yet .. but Gray don’t you think you should tell Luna she might be in danger , she has every right to know man ”
I nodded even though I knew what Collins had said was true , but I can’t bear to tell Luna such a thing . I really don’t want to put her in an uncomfortable position
“Not now man , I’ll be able to protect her , she doesn’t need to know about it ”
” I think now that they know she’s my woman , you know what’s gonna happen next right ? So get ready Collins , you know I can’t lose her right ? I asked looking at Collins who nodded as we both continued smoking aggressively.
