Chapter 619 – Lucky In The Love Department

Jabi

"You need to talk to him, tell him how you feel and he will support you.'' 

I don't mean to eavesdrop but they are loud. 

He is talking about me?

What does he need to tell me? 

I am by the window of the house. The one that is closest to the entrance of the house. I can't see them but I can hear their words clearly. I never imagined Darrien as someone that confides in other people. He seems like such a loner—I am the only one that he used to talk to, so why is he talking to Rex right now? 

"I will, I am just scared.''

He is scared. 

Scared of what? 

Things have been good between us. I have been good, so what could he be hiding from me. 

There is nothing on my mind. 

I don't know what this could be about. 

But you do. 

My wolf pipes in. 

I don't. 

I take a step away from the door because I don't want to be listening to this. I want him to talk to me. I walk back to the room and sit down on the bed. my thoughts are stuck in the conversation. I try to think back, to see if there is anything that he could possibly be hiding from me. 

I know Darrien, a lot more than I know myself. Everything about him is familiar, so I should have been able to sense if he was worried.

Right? 

No. 

My wolf must really be against me this morning. Cause I don't even understand the attacks I am getting. I hear the front door open and I lie back on the bed and pull the covers over me. I don't mean to pretend to be sleeping but I don't want him to know that I was eavesdropping on his conversation. I wish he would talk to me on his own. I wish he didn't need to confide in Rex before me. 

I hear his footsteps outside the room but I don't know what he is doing and it takes a while before he enters the room. I close my eyes as I slow my breath. 

What the hell am I doing?

This doesn't even make sense. 

Then stop pretending to be asleep.

I feel him climb the bed as the mattress presses from his weight. He pulls the cover and I tighten my eyes. He can't know that I am awake. I have to act naturally. His arms reach for me and he pulls me closer to him. his scent fills my nostrils and I find myself inhaling a little too obviously. 

"Why are you pretending to be asleep?'' he asks me. 

His voice is calm. 

There is no undertone in it. 

"I am not,'' I deny immediately. 

This gets a laugh out of him. 

"I felt you awake a couple of minutes ago. You know you can't hide from me." he reminds me of the obvious. 

But you are hiding something from me. 

I don't say it out loud because I want him to tell me on his own. Rex told him to talk to me, shouldn't he want to talk to me on his own? 

"Why were you outside?'' 

My head is pressed to his chest, the rise and fall of it make me feel safe. Just knowing that he is here, next to me and I feel protected. He is my home. 

"I went out for some fresh air, bumped into Rex and we got to talking.'' 

I pull away from him slightly and his eyes are open. So, he has been watching me, which means he might know that I heard him. 

"About?" 

Suddenly, he lets go of me and sits up on the bed. I shake my head because I don't want him to detach from me right now. I want to keep feeling him close to me. "Don't pull away from me,'' I beg him with a desperation that I didn't even know existed. 

He opens his eyes wide from my words, the shock evident on his face. 

"I am here.'' 

I nod ignoring his words and sliding into him again. my head remains on his chest and this time, he wraps his arms around me. I don't know the expression he carries right now and I don't need to know. I just need him close to me—at all times. 

Yeah, I might be acting clingy right now but I don't care about anything but him. I don't care about what might be worrying him, because he is all that matters to me and nothing, he can tell me right now will upset me. 

Nothing at all. 

"You heard, didn't you?'' he mutters finally. 

I don't look at him but I nod. 

"Don't you have any questions?'' he adds. 

I shake my head "You don't want to tell me what is bothering you, I know you will when you are ready. I trust you enough to know that you would talk to me when you are ready.'' 

This is my way of telling him that he doesn't have to until he is ready. I want to be supportive. Darrien has been the most supportive in the relationship. He has basically been living his life for me and I need to reciprocate. I need to love him as much as he has loved me. 

With no expectations. 

"I want to talk about it, I want you to know how I feel." 

This time I look at him because he needs me to. I know this is hard for him but I will love him enough for the both of us. I will listen to him and give him exactly what he needs.

His eyes remain on mine and even though I am still resting on him, I can see him clearly. This beautiful man is all mine. 

I got lucky in the love department and I don't think there is anything that I could possibly ask for when I have everything I want in life. 

I am so lucky.
