Stone’s Hearts

Chapter 6

Jaden and this Derek guy showed me to my room. It's right next to the bathroom. It's a spacious room; A large flat screen TV hangs on the wall, an Xbox and several games sit on an entertainment center under it. A large bed with a black silky comforter, sits in the corner of the room. A small love seat and a dresser finish off the room. It's nice, the more I look at it, the more I feel like it is too good to be true. 

“There are clothes in the dresser and closet, I had my assistant pick out for you. Xbox, TV the room is yours.” Jaden said opening his arms gesturing at the room. 

“Don’t get too wrapped up in it, we can afford it.” Derek said. Wow he speaks.

“Yeah, if you’re going to be working for my company, I need you to dress the part and since you didn’t have time to pack anything..” Jaden trailed off.

“Okay, okay I get it.” I replied. Wondering if he did this for Kaycee too.

“Sweet, we will let you get situated.” Jaden said, heading for the door. Derek exited but before Jaden did I asked.

“Did you do this for Kaycee too?”

“Yes, of course.” He replied instantly. 

Knowing she is getting taken care of made me finally feel like it wasn’t all for nothing.

“Thank you.” I said. Not liking handouts. I wasn’t a complete d**k I am grateful he is helping us. 

“Don’t mention it.” Jaden said. 

Not mean, not rude, just emotionless. He then left the room, my room. I’ve never had my own room. 

I still am not sure about these guys. Doesn’t make sense, the only thing that keeps me level with it all is if they wanted to harm her or do anything to her, they could have but instead they gave her, her own room and rescued her brother? Pacing the room trying to figure things out. I mean if they are just trying to win Kaycee over I get it. She’s beautiful inside and out. The perfect girl and she has no idea. Which is why I have to protect her and her innocence. Well what’s left, I squeeze my eyes shut angry that any was taken at all; then wince at the pain from my swollen eye that my good ol’ pops gave me yesterday when I wouldn’t tell him where Kaycee was. Oh how much has changed in 24 hours.

Then there’s this Derek guy, he hasn’t said more than two words all day. He just stands there, either his arms folded over his chest or he’s leaning against something. I can tell he’s gocking at Kaycee and I don’t like it one bit. He’s got heartbreak written all over him. Wearing shirts way too small, trying to make his muscles look bigger I guess. He looks like he could be wearing Kaycee’s size shirt. He’s not a bad looking guy, not being in to guys in any way shape or form. I still can tell an ugly guy from an okay guy and unfortunately both Derek and Jaden are okay guys, and I am sure Kaycee was the first to notice.
