Chapter 145: Worry

Jules pov

I was currently pacing around the bedroom, because I was currently feeling extremely nervous.

It started since the moment Kim dropped that bomb on us back at the cafe. Even after he had left, I still kept thinking about it.

How could I not?

Apparently I’m supposed to be getting captured tomorrow. Of course I’m literally having a panic attack.

The only reason why I’m not completely breaking down is none other than Blaze. He had convinced me that he had it in control, and I had no doubts about that. I trusted him wholeheartedly and I knew he’d keep to his words. I just couldn’t help but feel worked up is all.

After we returned from the cafe, Blaze began to come up with a plan, and I gave him some space to avoid distracting him. Which is why he’s currently in the sitting room on a zoom call with Roy and someone else, while I remained in the bedroom, feeling like I might vomit from how worried I was currently feeling.

I was still pacing when Blaze arrived, leaning against the doorway and looking extremely good looking in his shirtless state. He stared at me for a bit from across the room, and then he motioned me over with a come hither motion.

I closed the distance between us and once there was barely any gap between us, he cupped my face, thumb gently stroking my cheek as he spoke.

"I thought I told you to stop worrying your pretty head off over this issue?" He asked and I bit on my bottom lip as I peered at him, feeling a little bit of guilt inside of me.

I exhaled slowly and shifted my weight around as I responded.

"I didn’t mean to, I just can’t help it." It’s the truth, I really can’t help it no matter how much I try. Perhaps it was because he wasn’t here with me, which left me with more than enough avenue to start overthinking.

"I know, bunny. But you trust me, right?" He asked and I nodded without hesitation. At this point, he’s the only person I trust.

I used to think the only person I could trust was Andrian, but that was before I got to know that he was a snake. Right now, the only person I can trust is none other than Blaze and no one else.

Taylor should be on this list but after our tight, it made me start to question a lot of things about him. The very top of that list being if Taylor and I were ever actual friends to begin with.

"I do. I trust you." I responded and he hummed, thumb stroking my cheek again.

"Good. So, trust me to take care of you and keep you safe, okay? I told you I’d always protect you and that’s what I’m always gonna do." As he spoke, I felt something start to swell inside my chest. A lot of emotions were currently swirling inside my veins, it was making my heart flutter over and over again.

I bit on my bottom lip, unsure of if it’s a great idea to bring up the exact thing on my mind right now.

His brows furrowed as he kept staring at me, and then he tilted my chin upwards.

"Do you wanna say something?" He asked after a few seconds and I hesitated, still feeling unsure.

"It’s nothing." I ended up responding, an obvious lie. And then I instantly backtracked because I really didn’t want to lie to him any longer after the series of lies I told him in the past, and after he informed me that he had always been aware whenever I lied.

"What about your father?" I finally asked, voice tentative and careful, breath bated.

This is a very slippery slope. Blaze never talks about his father, except for a couple of times. I know I wasn’t supposed to bring it up, but it has been on my mind since the moment Kim broke that news to us back at the cafe.

Blaze’s face didn’t give anything away. He remained silent, and so I inhaled slowly and continued.

"I- I’m worried, because your father is the one who wants me captured, like the principal said in the past. I’m worried that it won’t be easy to out-smart him and that- and that, well... you’re his son so I don’t think you’d want to go against him..."

I ended up trailing off, feeling extremely uncertain of all that I was saying.

Blaze still didn’t say anything in the next minute, and when it might like my lungs might explode because I had been holding my breath, was when he finally spoke, while the side of his lips twitched.

"Bunny, I don’t give a fuck about my father."

A long breath whooshed out of my lungs just as he continued.

"Tell you what, my father is undoubtedly a scary man, and people should rightfully be scared of him. But, I’m not scared of going against him if he messes with something that belongs to me. I’ve never been." His voice was low and filled with so much conviction as he spoke that it sent shivers down my spine.

"Oh." I whispered, feeling winded and unsure of what to say next.

Blaze however, had mirth dancing around in his eyes as he brushed my hair out of my face.

"That’s the truth." He affirmed and I got the sudden urge to do something spontaneous like pull him down into a kiss or go on my knees and ask him to let me duck his cock.

I was seriously considering doing the latter when my phone began to ring in the next second.

Blaze let out a groan as I pulled away from him to go answer the call and I giggled as I picked up the phone.

The sound dried up as soon as I noticed the caller ID.

It was Andrian.
