Chapter 57

Storm made her way to his room and wanted to talk it out with Chase. Although her response to him had upset him, he still walked with her.

He did not say anything, and when she talked to him, he would barely reply, and that made her very anxious.

Storm wished she had lied, but he could read her easily, and if she refused to answer, that would have been the same thing. Not answering is an answer in itself.

She went to the living room and sat close to him, "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For saying yes."

"You told me the truth, I asked and hate being lied to, at least you were honest and that is great for our relationship to be built on trust."

"But what does that help with? If you're so mad at me."

"It hurts, but why would you think I would get bored of you."

"When we did break up, you went to other girls and I thought you had grown tired of me."

"I never broke up with you just because I was bored."

"Then why go to other girls?"

"I needed to forget, thinking about you was torture, and knowing that you were with Jeremy drove me nuts and crazy."

"Why not get back together?"

"Kelsey, I was preparing for when Kelsey would arrive."

"Oh, how many girls did you sleep with when we had broken up."

"None."

"Huh?"

"None, anytime I tried to kiss a girl all I could see was you, I missed your scent, lips, eyes, smile, everything about you."

"Me too." She replied, Chase looked very vulnerable and could see that saying all that had taken a lot for him to say.

"Besides, I watched you all the time, even though you could not see me at times."

"You did?"

"I told you, that your safety is my priority."

"At times I don't know what to think."

"About what?"

"One minute you're sweet to me and the next you're cold to me."

"I know, I'm trying to figure out this whole relationship shit."

"Let's go with the flow."

"What flow? I have never been in such a situation and not knowing drives me nuts."

"We can take it easy and work it all out, you do have to start someday."

He groaned, "We can't ever break up, I never want to start all of this from scratch."

She laughed, "Really, you can't find a better reason not to break up."

"Is it not good enough?" He replied, he seemed to be a deer with headlights.

"Chase!"

"What? What's wrong?"

"You have to be kidding me right now."

"About what?"

"You're right, dating is not your forte, I want to kill you right now for this crap of an answer."

"I knew it, I want us to have a nice relationship unlike the first one we had, we have to be lighthearted, everything that makes you happy."

"I never thought I would be seeing this side of you, why not show this to others?"

"It's one thing for me to open up to my girlfriend, and another talking with my friends, this is why we have intimacy."

"Wow, so much for a playboy."

"You tell anyone and I will deny all of it."

She laughed, "I don't, the most I would tell Meghan and Paige."

"If it's those two then it's fine, I don't want this to spread like a wild fire, I'm already under heavy scrutiny after rejecting Kelsey."

"Is it very bad?"

"Yes, especially with the elders and my father is coming soon to see me and I have to see Kelsey's father too, whilst I'm at it."

"Oh wow, that is bad."

"My father wants to meet you."

Storm's eyes widened, "Does he want to scold me?"

"Don't worry, I will be with you."

"That does make me feel slightly better."

"You will be fine."

"What must I get to impress him, first impressions count."

"Anything is fine really."

Storm's mind was churning, and Chase pulled her in and lay down with her.
