NovelEnglishChapter 0380 "Just givea day...a day to check everything. I will take you to the beach tomorrow myself." I couldn't particularly argue with that can I? He just wants to make sure everything is to his liking, that the borders are secure whilst we are here. A day without swimming in the sea won't hurt me, I can swim in the lagoons instead.
However, I don't want him to think I'm so easy to comply to his demands. This was my family pack, this would be Jace's pack in time...and I was his sister.
"I'll spend today catching up with the pack members, how does that sound?" I pretend to compromise when in fact he has already won the argument.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sounds like a compromise.." He smirks satisfied as he bends down and places a lingering kiss upon my lips. "Hmmm." I respond, feigning irritation.
"Letfreshen up and I'll be back down." He calls out over his shoulder as he moves out of the room.
When Knox is out of ear shot I turn to Auntie Alora and Ezra, keeping my voice low.
"Can you doa favour...can you keep Knox and George apart as much as possible. I don't know if George is on border patrol over the next few days but just make sure it's somewhere you know Knox isn't going to visit." "I have the perfect spot." Ezra smirks out, a mischievous wink in my direction. I know that look.
"It's porter at the hospital is it?" I wouldn't give that job to my enemy, it's the most boring job at the hospital. "How did you guess?" "Because it's the worse job going, when do you ever need a porter here. Besides, I was going to visit the hospital today.." "Why?" Auntie Alora places her cup back down before picking up a pile of paperwork.
"I don't know...see what's changed." "In a hospital that has no patients...ever. Sure knock yourself out. I'll be certain to keep Knox away." Ezra chuckles out as he takes a seat next to my Auntie. Her eyes widen at him as he sits closer than usual, his hand moving around her shoulders. ""Ezra!" "Josie knows, Josie doesn't mind." "Yes but still..." Her eyes dart to mine for a flick of a second before she returns to concentrate on the papers on her lap. I can only see her by profile view now, but I can hint the slight blushing of her cheek from his smallest display of affection. To them it is a huge step and I can understand why after all this tshe might want to keep things on the low down.
She's been keeping this secret for so long...it must be odd to suddenly flaunt your relationship in the open.
She shouldn't give a care of what others might think...but if Knox and I weren't mates, if I hadn't of pushed for more...would we still be as we were. If we weren't mates, he would have left...and I would be nursing a broken heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt just goes to show we don't know what is around the corner. We can plan but fate has other plans.
So she should enjoy this, enjoy the love and affection Ezra wants to shower her with.
"I just want you to be happy Auntie Alora, don't worry about what others You two are clearly might think and made for one another." It's the truth, I just want my auntie to be happy.
It seems to work, she leans into his side and they settle into acomfortable silende as they read the pack documents together. They really do make the perfect team. My mind falls back on the hospital. If I saw George so be it, but I just knew Knox would react similar to what he did last night.
George has a way of purposefully antagonising people, and I just know he'll be able to flip Knox's switch Best that for the duration that we are here, that they don't see each other again. That I keep my visit to the hospital on the quiet also.
