Chapter 51
The small party lasted for a few hours. We had lunch, and boy, was I happy to taste food other than that from the hospital.
I think I must’ve had the most that day, like a teenage boy with an insatiable appetite,
Zach and Anna had some wine, they made jokes about the time the three of them used to hang g out and Gabriel used to
third wheel them.
I didn’t talk, but they filled the silence enough.
I was tired when Gabriel kicked them out. He does that a lot these days, I realised. It wasn’t just Sam. Any time I felt drowsy. he didn’t hesitate asking any company we had, to leave.
Zach and Anna didn’t mind his bluntness. They were used to it. They were his found family.
It was early evening when we went upstairs and Gabriel c*cked an eyebrow at me. “Where are you going?” He asked.
I blinked, confused. “Room?”
He smiled. “You’re cute,”
I knew he was just teasing me and not complimenting, but my checks heated. Oh, I really was in trouble. “What?”
“I asked Luna to shift some of your things to my room,” He replied nonchalantly. “Only some, because I didn’t have space for all of it. Once you’re feeling better, I can call in my interior designer who can help you make changes to the room to fit your wardrobe needs.”
I just stared at him for a second too long, flabbergasted. “What?” sounded like a broken tape recorder.
“What?” He repeated. “You didn’t think I was going to let you live alone at the end of the hallway, did you?” An eyebrow was raised again, and then his lips lifted to reveal a smug smile. “Besides, we’re husband and wife. Don’t you think we should start acting like it?”
Had he forgotten the whole Lily thing that happened just before I left? It was two weeks before, but the sting that I had been trying to ignore still felt fresh when I thought about it.
“Gabriel. Reluctance must clear in my voice, because he sighed
“Just come, please?”
I stare, sigh, and then nod.
He leads the way.
Once we’re in his room, I see it. The pastel pink throw over shifted from my room to his, a stark contrast to his modern furniture. An emptied wardrobe which originally had his business suits was now lined up with shoes and bags, and I’m assuming my clothes were in the added wardrobe.
