Chapter 43 Colours Of Love

Finally. Finally something good.
He kissed me back instantly, his hands snaking around me, pulling me closer. Our bodies pressed against each other, and his warmth seeped into my skin, replacing the icy cold with a warm fluttering sensation. I no longer felt as though I were on the verge of breaking apart.
Amidst all the chaos, he was my sanctuary.
As we broke the kiss and pulled away, he spoke with a smile playing at his lips, "Well, if I had known you were missing me this much, I might have considered slipping some sleeping pills into your dad's drink," he brushed my hair strands away from my face, tracing his thumb over my flushed cheeks, "Your cheeks are flushed. Did you just run?"
"Practically, yes," I exhaled. "Your ex is a bitch."
"What did she do?" he asked, his expression cautious, "Did she say something to you?"
Well....No! I couldn't tell him the truth, not now. It just didn't feel right.
"Um, not really," I shrugged it off, "I just don't like seeing her around."
"Are you hiding something from me, Evelyn?"
"No, Jacob. I just saw her out there by the pool, and I hurried back here to ensure I didn't end up losing my temper with her," I fabricated a lie with practised ease, "That's all it is, I promise. Trust me."
"God, you scared me, Evelyn," he admitted. "Just ignore her, okay? She's not worth the trouble," Breathing a sigh of relief, he pressed his lips against my forehead, "I don't want you to get hurt by anything she might end up saying. She's never careful with her words."
Of course, she isn't. Nor is she careful with the people in her life. Or else, who in their right mind would ever let go of a man like Jacob? That person would have to be an absolute idiot, and that's Chloe. "I'll steer clear of her, but if she ever dares to hurt you again, I swear to God, I'll—"
Jacob didn't let me finish my sentence. He silenced me by pressing his finger against my lips. "No more talking about someone who doesn't matter. Besides, she won't get a chance to worm her way back into my life, so there's no way for her to hurt me."
"But-"
"Evelyn, be good and come with me." He grabbed my hand and began to lead me out of my room.
"What? Where are we going?"
"Somewhere."
"Jacob, don't beat around the bush. Where are the fuck are we going?"
