Eden’s Complex: Part 4.5

We sat at the breakfast table silent. I declined his offer and he has been silent ever

since, but I could still stay if I wanted to. I watched Cody eat his breakfast and we made eye contact. He stared at me for awhile, he then did some gestures with his hand. I looked at him confused "Mm",he swallowed his breakfast. "So you don't know sign language?", he asked.

He smiled "Sometimes I feel lazy, I either don't want to speak or I take my hearing aid out, so I suggest you learn it if you want to communicate with me".

I smiled back at him out of kindness, he also flustered me with his light Australian accent.

Lucas cut up his eggs silently.

He stared back at me "I might have some people watching me, so I suggest you only stay here or leave with Cody with at least some sort of disguise".

I disregarded everything he said "some people?"

Cody intervened "That stupid senator used taxpayer money to pay for Lucas's... service. There's been some guys following him.. so don't know if it's FBI or CIA or....

"Stop that Cody", he gave him a glare.

Cody immediately stopped them remainder silent eating his breakfast. They didn't remind me of those gay couples on tv, they had their fights, not petty ones either and they seemed like they were both dominant and masculine only sometimes would one choose the submissive role.

"I understand ", I ate some of the kids cereal they had lying around instead of eggs and bacon.

I then looked back at Cody as he had peaked my interests "Could you teach me some sign language... like the basics?"

He looked surprised "Yeah, sure".

"So putting your hand to your chest and sort of rubbing it in a circular motion means please. I mimicked his gesture, Lucas stood up suddenly "I'm going to work".

"Okay, are you meeting me for lunch today?"

"No", he kissed Cody sweetly.

Cody smiled as he closed the door behind him.

"Somethings telling me you want to go with him", Cody looked at me.

I looked at him "No. Maybe later".

"Are you sure...I know he's not going to work today, which means it's something else".

"What about those men?"

"Hm. I don't think they exist, I think it's an excuse for you not to follow him, I just played along".

I impulsively charged out the door.

Cody's POV

_____________

After a few minutes passed, I was about to enjoy myself with a glass of wine and some cheese. But I heard a knock on the door. I opened it with caution but I saw no threat even though he held a gun in one hand.

He pointed it at me "Where is she???"

"Hm, Eden?", I asked calmly.

"Don't play dumb with me! You were the one who seduced her weren't you?"

"Sure".

I walked towards him taking a good look at his face "What a beautiful man", I grabbed his face.

He was about to shoot, but I disarmed him and grabbed his chest... that's when I realized that he was a woman.
