Chapters (20)
“I don’t like using phones at all, I don’t text.” He says seriously and I try not to giggle but I’m sure he heard me.
"Can you drive out here? My truck is playing up; I can borrow someone else's if you want." He says in a clipped tone. I must have pissed him off; the thought only makes me want to laugh a little more.
"No I will drive, it's cool," I say.
"See you Winter," He says in a more annoyed tone before putting the phone down. I chuckle thinking I've at least improved in his mind from just putting the phone down, I now get a 'see you'.
I put on my black yoga pants and just a sports bra today because it's boiling outside today. The weather forecast a heat wave, in England is rare but nice. It's a shame I can't just sunbathe all day.
I decide to pull into a local bakery on the way and I walk in to look at the selection. I choose some brownies and blueberry muffins. I get a few of each so I can give everyone some when I give Jaxson his brownies. Hopefully chocolate will make him forgive me for laughing. I know I would accept chocolate as a sorry. Hell, Jaxson would probably like a chocolate covered daggers but I don’t think I can find them in a few minutes. A warm hand on my back stops my inner rambling and I turn around in the queue I’m waiting in to pay. Dabriel is standing behind me, looking like a normal college kid. His lovely hair is covered up with the basketball cap he has on backwards and he is wearing a normal top and jeans. I can’t believe how much hotter he looks like this, my eyes literally can’t stop looking over his body. His arms are out and there are weird white symbol’s tattooed like bracelets around his wrists. I swear that they are glowing white for a second but a quick shake of my head and they disappear altogether. I really think I need some more sleep today.
“Winter, you are looking as stunning as ever.” He tells me.
“Dab,” I smile at him and he pulls me into a hug, as he whispers in my ear.
“I’m not allowed to be here, to warn you, but you need to trust me. You cannot go to the party. I don’t know which party but death is chasing you. Be safe for me Winter.” He says and let’s go. I watch in confusion as he walks away.
