Chapter 5

1463 Words
Kai’s POV : ‘It turns out i want more.’ Thats what the assh*le said at which my heart skipped a beat and started beating like crazy before i lost conscious and fainted, probably because of the injuries i got from being beaten up by Bert and Wern’s group. No lie, fuckers didn’t hold back at all, i can still feel the pain throbbing in my ribs. The last thing i remember before fainting is his slight cold frown and a hint of worry flashing in his eyes as he grabbed me in time so i don’t hit the floor. But that was probably my mistake because Hayden and worried? These two words dont go together. Specially when it’s conceirning me. "it turns out i want more"Is something i also didn't ecpect from him. More? What the hell did he want more of? "Pretty sure you know it quite well.”My brain mocks me and i resist the urge to slap myself. The kiss, the accidental, the wrong, the never should have happened kiss from that night rushes back to my mind and i feel utter disgust raising inside me along with a bile. Anyone else would have been thankful to him but i was brimming with disgust even at the time of losing consciousness because he was touching me. His hands were on my body, holding me up, holding me close. And i hate that i was so aware of it. So aware of his scent that was engulfing my whole senses. And that fills me with nothing but more disgust. "Feeling any better dear? Should i take you to the hospital ?"Grandma asks touching my forehead to check my temperature, i start to flinch from the sudden realisation of someone’s presence but stop when i realise it’s her. When did she come in? Was I so lost in thoughts? Fucker is messing with my head. "No, i am okay now.”I say pushing the thoughts of that night away and a snort comes from the door as it kicks open and the devil-i mean the angel of my life comes in holding a tray full of food that she probably made. Chestnut hair falls over Madelyns shoulder reaching her chest, her dark green eyes that she got from mom are glaring with a furosity as she almost slams the tray down in front of me and keeps her hand on her waist. Her five foot two figure almost comical as she tries to give me the sternest look she can. "Your term of okay seems to be different from everyone. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror once?" I flash her one of my cheeky smile as i take a sandwitch from the tray. "I know i am handsome, no need to remind me every day maddy." Her lips scrunch up in disgust and she shoots grandma a 'Can you believe this guy’ look. "I really dont understand what Winter sees in you." My sister says looking at me up and down in a dissing manner. Exactly i don’t understand what that witch sees in me either, sis. "Enough don’t start arguing again. Maddy your brother needs to rest."Grandma says and Maddy frowns with a scoff."He shouldn't have come home in that state in the first place. Do you know worried we were? Grandma was so scared that you were dead because you looked so bad." Guilt spreads through my chest seeing grandmas still worried and tired face from taking care of me for two weeks. Utter heaviness fills my heart and i actually regret not being more careful when i knew they would come looking for me. F*ck i am not supposed to make her worry at this age. i am already grown up but somehow i always seem to make her worry. I side hug her gently, making sure not to touch my wounds."I am sorry beautiful, it wont happen again, I promise. "You still haven't told us what happened that night. Who did you fight with?"she asks clearly worried that it will happen again. No joke, she even mentioned shifting somewhere else because she thought i fought with the local goons. Ahem, i did fight with them but i couldn't have avoided it since i owned them money. The beating was inevitable . "It was really nothing. I just fell down the stairs."I say without much expression and they both look like they dont trust me but grandma doesn't push it. "By any chance, was it the silver haired daddy who brought you back that night?"She asks curiously with her eyes almost sparkling . My eyes widen and my brain short circuits for a second as i choke on the sandwich. I process her words and frown hard at the realisation. "The f**k did you just call him?" Daddy? As in Daddy? Fuck why didn't i die before hearing this word from Maddy’s mouth. And that too for that bastard. Maddy rolls her eyes without fazing. "Duh, have you looked at his body? He was twice your size Kai. And those tattoos tainted over his neck and chest along with those muscles.. he was totally a daddy material. Not to forget he was so handsome." An uncomfortable itch takes over my body and i feel a strange irritation hearing all these from Madlyn. Specially from the dreamy look on her face as she talks about him. I want to beat this person up but i clearly cant since it’s Maddy. So i grab a pillow and hurl it at her with moderate force which is enough to take her down. Another reason my blood is boiling at the thought of Hayden is because fucker could have just left me alone in that alley to die or he could have dumped me in a hospital if he wanted to pretend to care that much but no, he had to drag my unconscious body to my home and dump me here. I am seriously doubting he knew that i would rather die on streets then worrying my grandma and this is exactly why he brought me back. So he can get on every last bit of my nerves. "Are you seeing this? This is why i said don’t let her read those rubbish romace books. She is only 15.” I say to grandma feeling irritated. Maddy springs up the next second and throws the pillow back at me which i catch instantly. "Excuse me! I am turning 16 this year which means i am almost an adult now." I snicker at her "Dream on." "So it was that guy huh?"she asks again and i fall silent before glancing at grandma and seeing her waiting for my answer. I groan and rub my face "It wasn't him. He saved me that night." As much as i hate that guy,i can’t lie to grandma. I never lie to her unless it’s necessary. "Oh my why didn't you say so before? We should have invited him over for a meal to thank him."Grandma says and I mockingly smile inside. Invite him over? As if that rich brat will come over in this shitty neighourhood and our small house for a meal. The scene where he gave money to Bern and his men surfaces again and i feel a tight slap of humiliation on my face. Who does he think he is? I didn't need his help. I didn't need his help at all. Nor do i need his money and mercy. Specially his. "i told you he looked like a good child Maddy. We shouldn't judge someone by their apparence." I snap out of my thoughts and hear grandma say. Good child my ass. More like the satan himself. What the hell was he even doing in this neighbourhood that night? I am pretty sure this is more than far the elite places he hangs out at. So what was he actually doing here? And how did he know my address? I start to get up and Maddy steps in front of me causing me to pause."Where do you think you are going?" I blink and lie with a straight face. "College." "Uh huh, you are still injured. You aren't going to college like this."She frowns and I sigh before grabbing her shoulders and pushing her to the side. "As much as i want to listen to you, i have a game coming up. if i miss practice today coach is gonna kick me out of team." It’s not entirely a lie since i have missed the last game and practice for two weeks now, the coach is already angry with me. Moreover, i have some answers to find. Answers only Hayden can give me.
