Chapter 445

"Are you jealous?" 

He wrapped his hand round me, and despite my anger, I allowed him do so.

I've really missed his warmth on me.

"Who says am jealous?"

Far from it that i will admit something like that to him.. I rather cut off my tongue than admit how jealous I was, and still is.

"I love it whenever you're jealous. It shows you really love me. "

" Love you? " I scoffed as if that's the funniest thing I've ever heard in all of my existence, and it sure is.

"You love me too much to admit it," he turned me to face him. "You don't have to hide your feelings because I feel the same." 

He kissed me.

It wasn't a hurried one. It was a passionate one. One that's filled with the promise of love and so much more.

I held on to him. Tugging him closer to me as he deepened the kiss.

"Ehem," Fern coughed.

The sound made us separate.

Blondie turned towards his brother with a glare. His eyes narrowed to slit while I hid my face in his shirt to prevent others from seeing how pink my cheeks are.

"I've always had my suspicion," Fern smiled. " You three were so close it was really suspicious to believe you're friends."

" We didn't hide it well. Anyone who wanted to know would have seen." Blondie said.

" I can't believe you didn't confide in your cousin. I heard it from Kwofo." Blondie's aide said.

Cousin?

I was jealous of his cousin?

" Kwofo?" Fern looked at Blondie's aide. " You know him?"

"Of course I attended the same Academy as he did." Blondie's aide looked at Fern a if he's some sort of an alien who came to out planets.

Ije and the girls that were standing a bit far off from us walked closer to where we stood.

"As much as I would have loved for a little rest and some chit chat, we can't have that now.

We might have escaped the walls, but it will only be a matter of time until the wolves at the gate know they've been tricked.

We need to be on our way now before they find out. " Ije said.

Her face as serious as it was the first day we met. 

With a face like this, one wouldn't know the kind of person who lives in her. 

No one will be able to associate her with the kind girl I've gotten to know.

Ije acts serious when necessary.

"That's true, " Fern agreed. "I know the best place for us to rest. It's not too far from here." 

Fern and the aides carried the heavy looking bags.

" What's in this?" I touched the one Fern was carrying on his back.

"Human parts." He smirked, his eyes sparkling in humor.

"What?" I widened my eyes in horror. 

"Stop whatever it is you're doing Fern." Blondie glared at him. " Don't you know He's easily spooked?"

Fern shrugs " it's not my fault your mate can't take a joke."
