Chapter 159: They Had Been Kind To Me

Replying back to Riccardo's message, I suggested a time in a few hours and asked a place we could speak in private. My phone vibrated in my hand just second after I had hit send. We can meet at one of our places or in the meeting room at Pleasure Palace. It is entirely up to

Deciding that going to one of their homes would be too private, I agreed to meet at the club.

"So?" Andy asked.

"I am meeting them tonight." I said and he picked up on my lack of enthusiasm and reached out to squeeze my hand.

"Are you sure you want to go back to your apartment today?" His brows knotted in apparent

worry.

"We could have a movie night after you have met up with them and I will get lots of ice cream and a bottle of red. What do you say?" Shaking my head, I smile at him sincerely. Albeit stiffly, I didn't feel like smiling.

"I appreciate it but I will be fine. I think it will be good for me to be alone and sort out my head."

"Okay, but promise to call me if you need me."

"I will," I agreed.

If they could tell it was forced, they didn't comment on it but even while I wasn't in the best of moods, I listened and gave answers when needed.

Good luck with the talk." He said the last part all dramatically before he spun around and started walking down the stairs.

empty apartment after getting those pictures was scary and I kept my I went through both rooms, the main room containing my bedroom, living room and kitchen and bathroom. I scanned each corner and Very hidden place with a hammering heart. It was as if I expected someone to jump out

the door and locked it. I locked the door bolt in place afterward, thank goodness, my father had it installed when I moved in. It helped me feel just a little bit safer. It was strange being back at my place after everything that had happened, my eyes went to the spot on the ceiling where I once had a hole that leaked. My money was on Riccardo, seeing as the temperature fluctuations were also fixed. He was the only one who knew about that and I never thanked him for it. They made one major mistake and it had been so big that I hadn't been able to do the same, the tiny kindness they had done towards me until now. Each of their kindness stood out to me now when I could think more clearly about my time with them. They had fixed my ceiling and my water tank, they had lifted me up with their praise and made me feel confident in myself. Their sweet gesture after a scene as they took care of me, teaching me how to cook and treating me like I was something precious. I began looking forward to each day with them because they made every day exciting. And I realized just a little too late, like the dumb fool I was, that they didn't just take care of me, they cared for me. Those little tells that should have tipped me off but I had been too blind to see in my hurt. The way Kingston shared his kitchen with me when I suspected few- if any-had the pleasure of saying the same. The way Marshall truly listened to me and remembered what I said. I had made me feel heard. The way Riccardo showed me his vulnerable side by opening up about his childhood, it had been a difficult topic for him to talk about. However, he had still done it just so I could get to know him better. My eyes burned as I forced my gaze from the ceiling, this wasn't time for regret. Checking the the clock, I I saw that it it was too early yet to get ready. I should have probably started on the assignment from school and read through the notes u had gotten from my classmates but I wasn't feeling it. I
