Chapter 21 Mixed feelings

“Gideon

“Can you give me directions? So I can come here.”

You won’t need that, I’ll get you a driver who will bring you here and wait for you.”

She looked out of the window for a second.

“Gideon, you don’t need to care about that. I can come here on my own. You spent enough on me.”

“Alice, first, I promised I would do that, and I don’t mind. Second, I won’t let you travel nor drive or wander alone in Los Angeles. That is dangerous.”

I instantly regretted my last sentence, because she looked at me with a sudden move.

I pretended I was focusing on driving instead of responding to her. What she told Lily about escaping was still in my mind. I didn’t want to let her go. It wasn’t just 1 wanted her to stay with me, but it was also about I would have broken if she would have ended up in Riccardo’s hands.

I knew I shouldn’t hold it back. I should have let that happen sooner than later, and maybe then it wouldn’t be so painful. I might have gotten over it sooner and in a few years 1 would forget her completely. But it didn’t matter how much I fought with my feelings inside me. I wasn’t able to let her go yet.

She slowly turned her head back to the window, and she took a deep breath.

It was lunchtime, and I decided, I’m going to take her out. My dad’s words were in my head. I had to show myself with her. I knew she ate healthy food. Actually, I preferred that too, so I drove to a restaurant where they only made healthy, organic food.
