The sound that escaped his throat was rough and husky "You are definitely stuck with me."

"What have I done to deserve this fate?" I asked dramatically while looking up at the roof like I was pretending to ask a divine force.

He shot me a glare which I ended up laughing at. His narrowed eyes then turned soft as he listened to the sound of my light laughs.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, so I turned away from the amused giant and looked down at my phone.

Brennan was calling me.

I brought the phone to my ear and spoke up "Hello?"

"Lana told me you were feeling sick." The silky sounding voice belonging to Brennan sounded amused as he spoke the words "I hope you are okay."

The words did not sound like something Brennan would say. I was expecting a punchline or some other form of a joke.

"Thank you, Loverboy." I replied.

"Hope you feel better soon." He chuckled before adding "Say hi to Stone for me."

"Okay." I answered absentmindedly before I turned to Stone and told him "Brennan says hello."

Then it clicked. I had a moment of enlightenment and noticed my moment of stupidity.

Stone also looked baffled by the omniscient Brennan that knew I was with him.

Brennan was laughing as I remained stunned into silence.

The giant who was busy driving flicked between looking at me and the road.

"You didn't tell him you were with me?" I asked Stone, already knowing the answer by the look on his face.

"No. I didn’t." He replied, a softer expression taking over his face "I didn't want to tell him about..."

I understood. He did not want to tell Brennan that I had a breakdown. He did not want to share something that was not his to share.

"Thank you." I uttered quietly.

"You never need to thank me for anything, Medusa."

The question of how Brennan assumed we were together still played on my mind.

I brought the phone back to my ear and asked the man on the other end of the line "How did you know?"

"Call it a feeling." Brennan hummed.

"You are so annoying." I spoke into the phone "I want to give you a feeling in your face by punching you in the jaw."

Brennan let out a laugh.

"Enjoy English without me." I taunted "You won't be able to copy my answers."

"I miss you too, Little Ella." Brennan chuckled again before he mentioned "I don't always copy from you. There is Stone as well. He is just as much of a smartass as you. That is why you are perfect for each—"

"Bye Brennan." I cut him off before ending the call.

Stone continued stealing glances my way.

"Brennan is annoying." I huffed.

"Try dealing with him for years." Stone grumbled.

"Where did you two live before?" I questioned, curious to know more about him "I don't think you have ever said."
