Fated

Chapter 6

AMBRA

I slept all night, thanks to the medicine, but when I woke up I got a panic attack, everything came back to my mind, I didn't even register when Ezra started to draw little circles on my back to calm me, and he was whispering shooting words and after a few minutes, my breath was steady and I was able to talk. 

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...-

-You don't have to worry about anything, you are safe here, I'm not gonna anything happen to you ever again-

- How can you promise something like that? It's not like you are always with me and we aren't even a thing- I was almost screaming again. 

- Please don't scream, I know we are not a thing, but I saw that you were living by yourself, and at your house, you are more vulnerable, so I thought that maybe if you want and if that makes you feel safe you can come here, at my house, we are a small community, more like a family, maybe I can show you, let me talk to the doctor.-

 He rushed out, and he left me there, and I started thinking, I knew that I wouldn't be able to get back to my house neither to my job, I wouldn't feel safe, so I was considering his offer, and I always feel safe with him. When he came back he told me the doctor said I could go out for a couple of hours only if I felt comfortable with that. I could use a few hours outside so I agreed, but then I remembered I only had my hospital gown, I couldn't go out like that-

- Ezra, I'm ok with that but I have nothing to wear, I can't go through your community in my hospital gown-

- Give me a few minutes and I'll be back with something for you to wear-

And like that he was gone for the second time in 30 minutes; but true to his words he came back with something for me to wear, nothing fancy, a baggy t-shirt and leggings, and a pair of converse. After I went to the bathroom to clean up a bit and get dressed. When I was ready he held his hand out for me and I don't know if it was out of fear, but I accepted his offer and interviewed my fingers with his. When our hands touched it felt like sparks were shooting from our hands and it spreads all through my body, and it was such a beautiful feeling. I didn't realize that by now I was almost hugging him. 

EZRA

She was willing to come and look at our pack, I couldn't be happier than that. We went to see the packhouse, where she will be staying if she agrees to come here. On my floor, I had some spare bedrooms and if she agreed to that one of these would be hers, this way she could stay close to me but we will still have time to take things slow, now more than ever. 

Once in the pack-house, she started to look around and she was mesmerized. The first thing she saw was a massive living room, on the right, there was a conference room big enough to accommodate 80 people. On the left, there was the dining room, there were 30 round tables, and then there was the kitchen a huge one, with an island and 5 stools.

-Ok, this house is huge, how many people live here? -

- We are quite a lot, most of our community lives here, the other has their own house-

- Do you live here? I mean obviously, you live here, but do you live inside the house?-

- Of course, I live here, let me show you my room and then yours if you decide to come here-

We went upstairs on the fourth floor and I can tell she didn't expect me to have a full floor to myself. 

- This is my room, quite basic if you ask me, but I'm not the kind of person who likes interior design-

- Pretty basic indeed, but I like it, it's neat and it smells like fresh-cut grass and rain.-

- Do you like it?-

- I do, a lot-  and she flushed, she is so gorgeous.

- Why don't we go take a look at the room over there?- I showed her the room just across mine, so we would be close, and I could keep her safe.

Once she opened the door her mouth was hanging open. I could tell she was impressed. 

- Wow this room is fantastic, but I can't afford it, I have college to pay for...- She looked sad, extremely sad.

- You don't have to pay for it, nobody in this house pays for it, we have a big company and with the income, we provide a house and we pay the bills. So all I am asking you is to come here and be safe.-

- Why would you do something like this for me?-

- Simply because I care about you, and I can't be alright not knowing if you are safe.- She blushed again, it is one of my favourite thing about her. 

- Ok, I agree, I don't feel safe in my house or at the diner anymore, Sooooo, When can I move in?-

- Right after you get a clean bill from the doctor, then we will go to your place and bring your things over here, and you can style your room the way you like it, what do you say?-

- It sounds like a plan-  While she said that she threw herself in my arms, I hugged her tight forgetting for a moment about her ribs. When she hissed I quickly let her go and apologized, I got carried away from her enthusiasm. After that, we went back to the hospital. Hopefully, we will move to my floor soon.
