Chapter 25

I feel his hands trying to hold me and I try to beat his arm away from me not wanting him near me not again not after the 11 years he left us, "ñet, ñet pèrèstan. Perestan pereyekhat delako,I don't want you near me leave me" I feel me cheeks starting to get soaked and I hit his arm more not wanting for me to hold me not after what he did,he arborned us, me. I hate him,I hate him with all my heart. (No,no stop.Stop,move far away)

"Kater,Kater" I hear a distant voice but I still try to force my way free from this man,he won't take me from my mother,he won't and when he will do that its when am dead. "Kater wake up" I hear the vioce again and a sob leaves my lips knowing its over and I can't do anything to stop what his going to do, "Kater,Kater its just a dream.Wake up tigru" I hear him again and thats when I remember its Quinn who calls me by that name.

I open my eyes seeing his beautiful face infront of me filled with worry and I throw myself to him holding onto him as if my life depends on him, "your here" I whisper my voice coming out unevenly as I feel tears rolling down my cheeks. "Am always here for you tigru...shuush am here its only a nightmare" he says in a soothing voice stocking my hair and I tighten my hold not caring if I will shock him death.

It felt so real,it felt as if he was coming for me and taking me away from my family.Its the same dream I occasionaly have of him and I never notice its only a fucking dream.Quinn pulls me to his lap telling me soothing words and I find myself starting to drift once again in darkness but I don't want to see him again, "its okey am here with you,no one will take you away" he tries to calm me down and I tighten my grip on him not wanting him to go anywhere.I don't care if he doesn't feel anything for me but he has grown in me and I always feel safe when am with him.

****

I wake up hearing the bird chirpping and singing from outside as the blinding lights from outside make me sqiurm my eyes shut.I stretch my body a little seeing am in Quinn's room and reach out to see if his still sleeping but find his side is empty. I frown a little wondering where he went this early and see a cup coffee at the nightstand besides me. I smile remembering how he helped me last night and that when it hits me he heard me talk in Russian,oh no my mother warned me from showing off my real identity and thats why she made us take american speaking lessons making us to remove the thick accent we had of Russian but now Quinn knows and I don't know what more I blabbed about.

I get out from bed seeing a figure in the other side of the tilted glass door that he usually goes to. I stand up immediately regreting it because of the soreness am feeling but I push the pain away and take the coffee heading to where he is.I slide the door open finding him doing pushups all his muscles ripping through his tan skin showing off the recent tattoe he had,I wonder what that tattoe reminds him off because the only tattoe he had was of the dragon that goes from his abdomen to his back, gosh how did I get such a hulk in bed and slept with him.I bit my lip loving the way his muscles are contrasting from his every movement.

I try to make myself as quiet as possible as I lean on the door frame blowing away the steam coming from the coffee and take a small sip as I watch him continue to do his pushups. This room has all kinds of machines for workout thats why he always comes here, "Are you done drooling over me?" He says in his raspy voice and I immediately curse myself for not being quiet,he wakes up taking a towel from one of the rails as he finally face me, a smirk playing on his face.

I look away feeling a little embrassed of being caught, "no I wasn't drooling over you,what is there even to drool at?" I say walking away from him and hear him laugh behind me.Why am I even embrassed? I was just looking at him not doing something bad. "Sure you were not" he says sarcastically making me to turn and scowl at him a little before settling in his bed.

He has already put on a sweatpant which is very dangerously hanging on his hips showing his v shaped torso,if I stay hear one more second I don't know if I will servive. "Am gonner get some breakfast" I announce ready to run out of here but he grabs my elbow before I can go farther. He gives me a chaste kiss on lips and I push him away," eew your all sweaty I don't want to be engrossed by your sweat" I make a silly a excuse making him to look at me more amused.

"You look cute when you do that" he says making me to stop scronching my nose and glare at him mattering he takes a shower before he starts throwing himself on me before I leave. I walk slowly downstairs still drinking my coffee before I yelp seeing a woman come my way,I try to contain myself because I have chocked a little on my drink. "Am sorry miss I never wanted to scare you" she apologises and I wave her off trying to get myself together.

I look at her seeing she is wearing somehow maids clothes,she has a high ponytail,short and petite which she seems at mid thirties, "um who are you?" I ask her a little confused because I have never seen here. "Am Hilda,I work for Mr.Linch" she explains and I nod my head still eyeing her, "how comes I have never seen you?" I ask her trying sound polite,she smiles a little before answering me "I work from morning to evening,I don't usually sleep here" she explains and my mouth forms an 'o' thats why this place is usually clean.

"What can I get you?" She asks me,her eyes taking in Quinn's shirt and I blush remembering what am wearing, "um let me go and change-" I try to escuse myself but she stops me, "no don't feel uncomfortable,I don't really have a problem being this is the first time Mr.Linch brings a woman here" she says and my blush deepens,am sure I look like a red tomatoe right now.

"Hilda are you pestering Kater?" Quinn asks coming to my side and that only makes my cheeks hotter, "no sir am only asking her what she would like to eat" she says innocently smiling cheekily to me,I feel like putting my head in a freezer right now. "Mmh I hope so" he says circling his arm around my waist and I see Hilda going to the kitchen, "tell me love,why are you blushing so much?" He asks brushing his fingers on my cheeks and I slap them away.

"Am not blushing,thats how my skin is" I say confidently as he takes us to the kitchen where Hilda is preparing our breakfast, "that not what your cheeks are telling me" he persist and I hide my face in arms. "Oh please stop it" I mumble not able to stop all the embrassement am feeling, "no need to be shy around me" he chuckles removing my hands from my face as he kisses both of my cheeks. "Quinn we are not alone" I gasp pushing him away as I see Hilda place our breakfast infront of us trying to supress her smile which she miserably fails.

"Mmh sure" he says cheekly kissing my cheek again making me to slap his arm.Hilda has prepared scramble eggs with toast at the side making my mouth water from how its smelling wonderfully,I take my first bite humming how delicious it.She cooks wonderfully just like Matilda, "this is delicious, Hilda" I moarn out making Quinn to slide his hand in my inner thigh squeezing gently.I shut my legs pressing him inside throwing curses to him in my head, "thank you Miss,am glad you like it"

"Please call me Kater" I tell her taking another bite, "Hilda get her another drink,she doesn't drink orange juice" Quinn orders her and she nods taking my drink to exchange another. "But you will be wasting that one" I whine and Quinn sends me a glare daring me to try complain.Hilda hand me apple juice and I thank her noticing Quinn remembers my acidic problem which warms up my heart just thinking that he cares about me.We eat in silence and I remember about the dream I had yesterday night, how do I ask him about what he heard?

"Uum.." I play with my fork not really knowing what to say, "you can ask me anything" he encourages me and I look at him immediately regreting it so I look away trying to gather up the courage. "Uuum about the dream...last night" I shatter not knowing what to say, "its not really a must you explain" he says calmly and I shake my head wanting to get this over with,I see Hilda busy cleaning up the living room making it able to continue with this conversation.

"What did you hear?" I ask him and he looks at me confused, "I heard what you were mumbling about" he confirms making me to become more tensed, "uuh about that-" I mutter not really knowing how this will go. "Kater I know your Russian" he says making me to gulp scared he knows my true identity, "did you know before...before the dream?" I ask him remembering that he had investigated me. "No I had my suspicion" he says and I look at him urging for him to elaborate, "your features,when your drunk you can hear the accent and finally the dream that finally ended my suspicion" he elaborates making me to curse myself for having loop holes and how I tried so hard from the training my mum gave us but atleast he doesn't know everything about me.

"But to calm you down,you are very good at hiding that your Russian if it wasn't for your dream I would still be out cold" he says making me to chuckle a little, "yeah can you not tell anyone about that and please don't ask why because I can't answer you" I tell him honestly and he nods taking my hand. "Sure what will I even gain by telling anyone" he says as if its no big deal and I thank him for not pressuring answers out of me because I really can't tell him why."So you can hear Russian?" I ask him noticing he knows everything I said, "yep,I talk four different languages. Russian being one of them" he says making to be more curious, "what are the oyher languages?" I ask him plopping the cherry. "Aren't you curious. I speak Romanian,Russian,Italian and American english" he say wiping the corner of my lip and I blush seeing him suck his finger.Now is no time to think of sleeping with him when I know am already sore.

I head to my car after breakfast thanking Hilda for it and Quinn gives me a passionate kiss which I cower a little knowing someone else is in the house. I reach the apartment finding people shouting at the tv as they play a game, "yooh Kater I missed you girl" Mace calls out jumping over the chair making his way to me and gives me bear hug, "Mace we see each other at my brother's place" I say chuckling giving into the hug he has engulfed me in. "As if,when we graduated you left us cold with this terrible world" he scoffs making me to laugh from his lame excuse.

"Kater I hope you don't mind that have invited them" Cam says on Zayn's lap and I shrug it off, "no problem,hey Brad" I greet him fist bumping our fist making a sound of explostion at the end, "hey" he says ruffling with my hair and I slap his hand off glaring at him. I look at what they are playing and squeal loving this game, "lemme change so that I can kick your asses" I tell them making the boys snorts and scoff at me. When am about to go upstair my door flies open revealing Chloe and Macy carrying beers in both their hands, "Kater finally your here,at least I will have someone to bit Mace's ass off" Chloe squeals and Mace scoff mattering in her dreams.

"Hey Macy nice to see ya" I greet her knowing its a long time since I saw her, "hey Kater missed you too" she says throwing a bottle for Brad which he takes easily. I run to my room changing the clothes from yesterday putting on my sweatshirt with a sweatpant,I put my hair in a messy bun but immeditely pull it down seeing I have hickeys all over my neck going to the collarbone and knowing my brother he would want answers for that plus I don't want anyone seeing themm it can be so embrassing when people know you recently had sex.

I run downstairs ready to make them wipe off my ass when I beat them.We play for an hour having a yelling competition at each other while we are playing Mace even throws his bottle of beer to the wall which I immediately scold him and even throwing things at each other when the other wins, I really missed this. "Screw you" I curse out seeing Brad killing my ninja and he laughs killing me repeatedly, "you're so gonner pay for that" I yell at him making him to laugh harder when the game tells me I lost,I don't know what I did wrong. "And you two get a room for Christ sake" I say shoving my brother off the couch making him to fall down, "aw Kater its not my fault you lost" he say rubbing his butt making me muffle a laugh.

"You know what his the reason I failed,he was sucking the life out off my bestfriend" I whine making Brad to shake his head laughing, "no no,there is no rematch" he refuses making me to huff and stomp my foot seeing Chloe take place and compete with him. I down my beer sitting next to Cam who is still blushing, "now its when your blushing" I tell her giggling and she slaps my hand, "don't be mean" she mutters locking some of her hair.

"Where is Alice by the way?" I ask knowing she can never be too far from Brad,they are inseperable. "She's travelling,she will be back next week" Brad answers being kicked off his ass in the game with Chloe,thats my girl. "Where were you last night?" Cam whispers at me narrowing her eyes for me, "having fun" I shrug taking some popcorn from the bowl.

"Yeah I can imagine the fun you had" she says sizing me up, "what? Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask pointing her face, "because I can practically see the hickeys that you have.Yeah next time try to hide them much better" she huffs making me to pull my hair against my neck trying to hide them. "What hickeys are you talking about?" Zayn asks obviously hearing our conversation, "none of your business" I say standing up making him to scowl at me, "what? Your bae whats them" I say making my way to the kitchen trying to avoid their questions which worked because Cam is blushing so much from the instense gaze my brother is giving her.

"Lets get this party started" Mace shouts coming in with Macy carrying in two large speakers, "yaah!" Chloe yells doing her victory dance beating Brad in the game making me to jump up happy someone put him in his place. Mace connects the speakers so that the music can me loud enough as I give out more beers,now this is the life. We stay yelling at each other, others dancing to the music as we play for the next two hours.

I hear my door being knocked at the sound being swallowed by the loud music inside here, "is anyone gonner get that?" I ask sitting up straight everybody mumbling a no making me to hump getting up from where am sitting,this people are lazy asses. I open the door finding my next door neighbour Mrs.Cole wearing her usual knitted fluffy sweater and a long skirt, she has her grey hair tied up in a bun and she pats the back of it waiting patiently for the door to open,did I mention she is a chatter box.

I groan intenally not happy for her rediculous comments, "Mrs.Cole its so nice to see you here,do you want to join us?" I ask trying to sound polite. "Thats so sweet of you dear but don't you think am a little too old for such things" she says giggling a little looking over my shoulder and I block her view smiling, "none sense I think you will fit in perfectly" I tell her pushing her buttons a little. "Oh Kater aren't you funny" she says waving her hands infront of me and Mace comes stumbling a little to my side looking over shoulder, "oh dear" she mutters lowly and Mace winks at her making me chuckle his so cocky when he wants to.

"Kater baby lets go you are wasting time" Mace says circling my waist making to giggle by the way Mrs.Cole has scrunched her face looking at us as if we are doing something bad. "Ofcourse,Mrs.Cole what were you saying?" I ask her trying to seem geniune but I know we are scaring her, "please turn down the music old me needs some sleep" she says sizing us up and I nod closing the door right in her face,I don't have time for her shit. "Your welcome" Mace says as we settled on the couches finding Chloe stealing my fries, "thief, you already ate yours" I accuse her making her to plop it inside her mouth before I can do anything.
