Chapter 309: His Answer

EMMA

~

We ordered pizza after my disaster, god it was super embarrassing that I kept blushing all the time, the cat’s outta the bag, speaking of cats where is my fur baby? I haven’t seen him for quite some time. I know cats are sneaky sometimes but Tiger Jnr was still little to wander around alone. What if he falls into the toilet or sometimes, or climbs high places he’s not supposed to? My anxiety kicked off at a greater percentage as I envisioned all kinds of things.

*Meow*

As if on cue I heard his cute little voice and he crawled to me before going on his back feet and raising his paws for me, his usual signal for me to carry him. A heavy amount of relief washed over me and I found myself sighing before a smile grew on my lips, just seeing him with those big eyes of his was enough to make my day better than ever and forget most of my problems, and here I thought Dace was the only one that can do that.

"There you are," I said sweetly to him as I picked him up, he always does that action whenever he wants me to pick him up and I would happily do so without complaining, he was just too adorable to turn down, especially with those hazels looking at me, the same hazels that reminded me of my boyfriend, ’boyfriend’ I haven’t spoken to for days or could be ignoring me.

I was getting edgy and confused, I internally knew why I haven’t heard from him, it was probably because of what happened when he unintentionally hurt me with his nails, but it wasn’t anything serious to me, the wound was all closed up because of his licks, but something tells me it was more than that to him, I know Dace...

He doesn’t like the idea of me being hurt in the first place not to talk more of him doing it himself, he was probably blaming himself right now to no end, or mentally torturing himself... I would have called him on the phone but something tells me I shouldn’t, I wanted to give him a little bit of space even though it was a hard feat for me, I have lost count of how many times I have picked up my phone and dialed his number but ended it before it goes through or how my very body felt like it was being tugged and twisting at the same time at the loss of not being next to him.

It was pure torture... like a part of me was missing, god it feels so frustrating! But it was now or never to learn and I think I’m doing the right thing because for one I knew something was definitely bothering him, I could see it in his eyes, something he didn’t wanna tell me and I don’t wanna push but I can’t say I’m not curious, because I am and worried too, super worried to the point I can’t even sleep right.

The only thing that helped me right now was Grayson’s presence in the house as well as Tiger Jnr, they helped me take my mind off things on some occasions... rather than getting lost in my head they come to me and something else occupies my thoughts, I was certain I would have gone insane without their closure.

"Emma"

"Hmm" I made a sound breaking out of my introspections as I turned to Owen hovering towards me with a smile on his lips.

"Hey," I said, taking my seat on the couch and placing Tiger Jnr on my lap who happily stays there and allows me to stroke his head and he gave off a purring sound in delight.

Owen sat next to me strangely amused as ever... watching me.

"What?" I mused because his look was getting intense like I was the only one in this room and no one else was there. I was the center of his attention, it was a little weird getting this look from him.

"Nothing," he shrugged. "You are so loving to him," he pointed out.

"Tiger Jnr"

"Hmm?"

I rolled my eyes. "I named his Tiger Jnr"

"Oh," he made a face like he was having thousands of thoughts in a few seconds. "Why though? Shouldn’t you have thought of a much cuter name?"

"It is a cute name and beside..." I shrugged. "It suits him perfectly"

"I’m guessing I should not ask why that name of all things" he mused and I blushed, Oh please don’t ask!

"So Grayson’s staying here now"

I nodded and was also partly glad he changed the topic. "Yeah"

"It’s great, how are you guys holding up?"

"Well it is a drastic change"

"Indeed..."

"But it’s all good, I’m glad he’s here, my mom is too"

"Of course, she will be, she has 17 years to catch up to"

My face suddenly dropped. "Yeah but that 17 years can’t just come back, she missed a lot of things without so much as a choice given to her, it hurts"

"I know," he conveyed to me softly.

"I just don’t get why anyone would separate us like that, it’s not fair" I mumbled, it was hard still grasping this fact and that strange man back at the hospital was still a mystery but I had a theory, something I haven’t quite said yet... I suspected someone, someone who was not in the picture since the very beginning, someone who was no doubt the culprit, I just had a strong feeling about it, I will have to discuss this with Grayson so that we could at least dig into it, even though we were all reunited right now it doesn’t mean we won’t find out the truth.

"Emma"

"Hmm?"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Said what?"

He sighed heavily and I noticed as his chest rose and fell, he leaned to me and I narrowed my eyes but more importantly, my heart skipped a beat and a shiver ran through me, I wasn’t cold so I wondered why that happened. Before I could register more of my thoughts he flicked my forehead with his fingers.

"Ow! What was that for?" I said rubbing it, it was a faint pain but it still hurts!

His smile broadened, "You were lost in your head"

I was about to say something but he came first.

"I said Grayson should probably join Night school, I mean he’s a half warlock and all and he needs better control over his abilities"

"Oh" I made a sound only, how come I never thought of that?

"Relating to that topic" at the voice we turned and found Grayson leaning on the wall with arms folded across the room. "My answer is no," he added with a stern look.

"Grayson," I said.

"I have no intention of doing magic"
