Chapter 14
Ella's POV
Rayn was shocked at my respond, he was dazed so I just neared him and enveloped him in a warm hug .
" Ella, thank you for being here " he said while crying,his voice was shivering.
" No problem" I put my hand gently on his head and felt his soft hair.
He hugged me back and I must say, it felt nice .
I looked at the car and glanced Veer, standing there, giving me a funny expression like it says ' I know what you did there' so I just glared at him with a small smile, he giggled back.
After that I parted myself from Rayn.
" Hey Rayn I think we should... um go see your father, he has been waiting for us this whole time " I pointed out looking at his direction.
" yeah we should " he replied, then we walked toward Veer.
Veer laughed at us and the first thing he said was " You guys seem pretty close huh" with a wink.
I felt awkward didn't know how to reply but then Rayn remarked
" so? does is it bother you if we were
close? "
To tell the truth Veer and I were surprised at his reply ,I was very shocked, so we remained silent and stunned at his words.
" Are we staying here the entire day ,it's already 6:30 p.m, come on lets go back home ,I'm hungry " Rayn confirmed then opened the driver's seat door and ran the engine, so we got in, I sat in the back seat and Veer in the front seat.
I looked at Rayn from the middle mirror and I saw that his face was calm yet his eyes were red from all that crying, and I like it when someone cries their suffering for me because that shows that they cry not because they are weak, they cry because they were strong for too long .
After a couple of minutes of me staring at Rayn, we arrived home .
" Welcome home " Kevin said while standing next to the fridge, pulling the dinner that he just made.
" hey Kevin, how can I help you ?" I asked him then washed my hands
" You can sit and start eating cause dinner is ready " he announced.
" Kev, you're the best " Veer said that then sat on the corner of the table and started eating.
" Dad... did you even washed your hands? " Rayn asked him while wiping his hands from the water.
" it doesn't matter when you're super hungry ,am I right ? " he replied.
" You are disgusting"
We sat on the table and began eating.
I peered at Rayn for seconds until our eyes meet, I couldn't avert my eyes because I have this rule and that's
' never avert you eyes even for your enemy ' I know it's corny but when you have been living with a father as a detective, you will understand what I mean.
" Ella, do I have something on my face? " Rayn questioned me.
" No, I was just... oh yes where is Lucy ? " I changed the subject yet still staring at him.
" I don't know, and I don't wanna know " he said with no interest then continued eating.
" by the way you guys, I'm leaving tomorrow " Veer out of no where said.
" what do you mean ' tomorrow ' , why you didn't tell me ?" Kevin pointed out.
" yeah, you should have mentioned. earlier " I said .
" I didn't want to trouble you . I will leave first thing in the morning so you don't have to wake up. "
" oh no of course we will wake up, right Rayn! " I remarked
" depends, how early? " Rayn asked with a fork in his mouth.
" 4 a.m" Veer replied.
" oh hell no, tomorrow's the weekend, I want some rest " Rayn said then grabbed his plate and put it near the washer .
While we were arguing I got a call from mom. But that call changed my mode completely.
