ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Kathy Pov

“I am going to get myself in trouble,”

I thought as I woke up, with Cross’s hands around me, once again I am the one who left my side of the bed, why can’t I just stay where I am, why do I always want to hug him in my sleep, I gently tried to remove his hands from around me but he pulled me closer and held me a little tighter, making it impossible to move without waking him, thinking about it now, it was totally not my fault alone, even if I move from my side of the bed, did he have to hug me so close, he could just push me off.

“Both of us are sick,”

I muttered trying again to get off his arms.

“Yeah, I agree, that would be the only reason why I like waking up with you in my arms,”

He muttered back, great he was awake.

“You are awake? Now let go of me,”

“No, it’s not yet morning, why are you such an early riser?”

“It’s past five am already,”

“Still too early, not like we are going to work or anything, lets sleep for a little longer,”

He said pulling me closer.

“Okay, five more minutes,”

“Good,”

He replied, pulling me closer, we stayed like that for more than two hours, I had so much to think about, what I wanted to do, it was fun being with Cross like this, he was so not what I expected and I think I am getting used to being with him, not that I was catching feelings in any way, but I felt he was becoming my friend, I hope we don’t go back to quarreling and disagreeing. I already applied for a change of course and I will be resuming classes as soon as I got to New York, and my life will be busy, I wonder how it would be like living with Cross in New York, will he be the way he is now or will he change, I know we talked about not meddling with each other’s business, but when I heard what he said to Anna I admit that I felt somehow, I couldn’t describe how I felt, but it was enough to make me sad, and also the kiss we shared, I know he apologized after but what does it mean, does that mean our marriage is going to be a real one, with the stuff related to marriage and all, or did he do it just because he wanted to, and now I was laying in his arms, what does this mean too? I wanted answers but I didn’t want to ask and also didn’t want to overthink, laying in his arms I couldn’t go to sleep, one week ago if someone had told me we would be like this, I would have shut the person up for being a blood liar but here we were as if we have been like this for a long time.

“Enough Katherine, stop overthinking,”

I mentally scolded myself, closing my eyes and wishing the moron will wake up, I considered pitching him but decided not to, I don’t want his troubles as early as it is.

“Good morning beautiful,”

He muttered, finally waking up.

“You think I am beautiful?”

“Of course you are,”

“Wow, that’s a first, you surprise me every day,”

“I have something to tell you about, but it will be later when we get back, for now let’s go have some fun,”

He said getting up from the bed and lifting me with him, my hair was messy, I tried to fix it while wondering what he was on about, what did he want to talk about.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Where are we going to today?”

“Cat island,”

“What? Where is that?”

“It’s around here somewhere, so go take a bath and we can eat and be on the way,”

“Yes sir,”

I said getting off the bed, and going to pick up my toiletries.

“And Kathy,”

“Yes,”

“I like the way we are now, can we keep being friends?”

He asked and I stood there looking at him, he didn’t look like he was joking, even I love the way we are now, no bad blood between us.

“Will you apologize for leaving me on my own that night?”

I asked.

“Sure, I am sorry Katherine, I was angry that night and something came up that further ruined my mood, but I shouldn’t have left you there,”

“Can I ask what came up?”

“No, please, I am not ready to talk about that just yet,”

“Okay, then I accept, so friends?”

I asked stretching my hands out for a shake to seal our new friendship, he took my hands and dropped a kiss on the both of them.

“Now we are good, so go brush your teeth you have horrible morning breath,”

He said, I perceived my breath, eyes him, and ran off, here I thought we just became friends and he is getting on my nerves again, he will remain a moron for that.

When I got back from the bathroom, he already ordered breakfast, I waited for him to take his own bath and we are together before leaving our hotel, we boarded a taxi that will take us to the other island, as we made to leave the hotel, I suddenly felt like I saw someone I know, I turned around and yes indeed, I saw someone that looked like Louis, no that was certainly him.

“Stop the car, stop right now, stop!!”

I said and the driver came to a hurried stop, I got off the car.

“What’s going on? Where are you going to?”

Cross asked but I didn’t reply to him, I just ran off in the direction where I saw Louis, but when I got there, he was no longer there, I looked around the area but I couldn’t find him.

“Hey babe, what’s going on?”

Even with my distorted thought, I couldn’t help but think of what he just called me, he called me babe, wow, but then the reason I came out Dawn in me again.

“I saw him,”

“Who?”

“Louis,”

“Who is Louis?”

“My boyfriend, I mean my ex-boyfriend, I am sure I saw him, I need to just look around, I am sure he is still here somewhere,”

I said looking around, but I couldn’t find him.

“Hey, calm down, are you sure he is the one? It could be someone else that looks like him, besides what do you want with him? You are already married,”

He said. I stopped looking and faced him.

“I know I am married, don’t worry that’s not why I am looking for him, he fucking stole from me, I want my eight million back and also I wanna kick him in the dick, that’s why I am looking for him, forgive me if doing that means I am forgetting I am married,”

I let out in anger.

“I am sorry, that’s not what I mean,”

He apologized but I didn’t listen to him, I just walked off back towards our hotel, I didn’t feel like going out again, if only I had seen that bastard earlier, then I would have acted fast, he is here in the Bahamas eating my money, he got away this time but next time I will make sure he doesn’t.

“Where are you going to?”

Cross asked walking up to me.

“To the room,”

“I thought we are going out?”

“I don’t feel like it going again,”

I said and walked away leaving him there.
