Sweet Addiction
Chapter 13; Are we in heaven?
I wake up groggily with a painful headache, also feeling pain from every inch of my body. I open my eyes slowly rubbing my temple.
I gasp looking around. Every part in this room is white, plain white with no color. All the curtains, the floor, the couches, the bed i am in and the walls are so white.
Am in heaven?
Did my time come?
Oh God, please forgive me if i was a bad kid. I really didnt mean to. All my intentions were meant to be good. And i pray whoever killed me may join me here in paradise in Jesus' name.
Amen.
The door opens and i close my eyes bracing myself to see an angel of God. I slowly open my eyes and gasp opening both of them widely.
Kyle
Kyle in heaven.
Kyle in heaven holding a tray of yummy food.
Kyle in heaven holding a tray of yummy food in a black outfit.
Wait, what?!
"Why are you in heaven wearing black?" I furrow my brows and he looks at me with confusion like i have lost my mind.
Have i?
"Are you feeling fine?" Kyle asks taking a seat on a chair next to my bed.
"I don't know. Are we in heaven? Did we die?" I ask rubbing my temple. He shakes his head in amusement,
"No. We didnt die." He says and all that happened in the last 24 hours comes crashing down.
Oh no!
My mam hitting me
Dad comforting me
Promising dad i would be home
Running into Kyle's gang murdering someone.
Dying.....oh wait! I just fainted.
I look up at Kyle and scowl at him pushing myself away from him, creating a distance even though it hurts to move.
What he did was wrong?
No one deserves that.
The trauma i had from yesterday is still present and i dont think ill be able to rid that image from my head.
"Are you afraid of me?" Kyle asks and i look up to meet his cold hard look he had the day he asked me that question.
"No, Kyle." I sigh turning on my side to look at him. I grab his cheeks and force him to turn and look me in the eye,
"I'm not afraid of you. Never have and never will." I say and his expression slightly softens.
I smile at him, "I just need one hell of a long explanation." I state lying back on the bed. I am still in pain from all the injuries from last night. And shock from what i saw yesterday. That image will forever haunt me.
He sighs and hands me a glass of water. I take it from his hands and take gulps of water, finally emptying the glass in a seconds,
"I'm in a gang, you know that." He starts and i nod. He grabs a spoonful of salad and feeds me.
"We kill people who deserve it. The guys you saw last night are bad people. They were involved in trafficking young girls then sexually abusing them. They deserved it." Kyke explains and tears fall from my eyes without consent.
Oh dear God!
"Fuck." Kyle mumbles leaning closer and wiping the tears off my face.
Such monsters in this world. Poor girls. This is so disgusting, heart renching to know such people do this.
Maybe even worse things happen.
Oh God!
"Don't worry. All the girls are safe." Kyle says wrapping his arms around my shoulder pulling me close to his body, that's now on my bed, embracing me in a hug. I cry into his chest and wrap my arms around his torso,
"Thank you." I sniff.
"For what?"
"For saving those girls and giving them happiness." I smile looking up at him.
"It's part of my job." He shrugs.
"Well, good job." I lean up kissing his cheek. He tenses, inhaling a sharp breath and my smile widens even more.
I love the effect i have on him.
"Why do you have fresh wounds around your body?" Kyle asks, his voice getting serious and deadly. I almost flinch at his voice but i dont.
"Mam wasnt happy i spent the weekend away." I sigh snuggling into his chest.
"Vanessa, this isnt okay." Kyle says in a cold tone.
"Dont worry about me, Kyle. Dad said he would handle all this." I say and my eyes widen,
"Dad!?" I say panicking. Oh God! He must be thinking i got lost or killed. He must be at the police station right now looking for a way to track me down.
Jesus!
"I called him last night and told him you slept over." Kyle states and i let out a breath of relief.
I look up at him smiling, "What would i do without you?"
"Nothing," he smirks and i roll my eyes hitting his chest playfully. He grabs my hand and lifts it up pressing his warm soft lips on it. My heart starts accelerating and my body suddenly grows hot,
Oh sweet Jesus
His lips!
"I'm glad you are in my life, Nessa." Kyle says after giving a kiss to my hand and staring at me intensely. His intense look giving me eagles in my stomach.
I smile, "Me too." I say, my voice shaky and coming out in a breath.
He lets go of my hand and brings the bowl of salad feeding me a spoon,
"Nessa, i don't like what your mother does to you. She is fucking hurting you and you are not putting any effort to fucking save yourself. I'm gonna do something about it." Kyle says in a warning tone with a deathly cold tone to it.
I chew and swallow the salad then shake my head, "No Kyle. Don't do anything about it. I'll handle it and so will dad. Don't do anything or she will do worse." I say, my voice sounding scared and vulnerable.
Kyle's hand goes to my cheek stroking it. I look up to meet his warm beautiful greyish brownish eyes,
"Nessa, I'll do everything i can to protect you. I'll always protect you and make sure you are safe." Kyle says, his eyes so full of care, and the eagles in my stomach resume their fun.
God, i like him.
I like him so much.
He cares about me so much. He makes me so happy and always wants me to be safe and healthy.
"Thank you, Kyle." I smile and lean against his chest sighing happy.
He continues to feed me as we lay in a comfortable silence, both enjoying the moment alone.
"Did they have to be killed?" I ask in a soft voice.
"Yes."
"I dont think they deserve death. Only God has the right to sentence one to death." I say smiling.
He grabs me by my waist and lifts me up, turning me around to straddle him, his hands then go to my neck and his eyes gaze my face.
"You are so fucking pure and innocent." He whispers, his fingers roaming my face. His thumb then goes to my bottom lip running across it.
His eyes stay on my lips then he bites his bottom lip. If that is nkt a freaking turn on, then i dont know what is.
Sexy
Hot and sexy!
He sighs and leans his forehead against mine, "He was a very bad and dangerous guy, Nessa."
"My point still stands." I whisper and he sighs again closing his eyes, his fore head still against mine, me straddling him and his hands cupping my neck
Then i suddenly grow hot.
Oh dear
I am not even complaining about this position. What has seriously gotten into me?
The real question is supposed to be,
What is he doing to me?
The door opens and a loud growl escapes Kyle's throat and i giggle at his annoyance.
"Boss, a call." Martinez's voice says from the doorway, the same time Valentino says,
"Oooooohh, i see youuu." He says mischievously. I shake my head at him and look up to see Kyle not looking happy at all because of the interuption.
You are not alone, buddy.
Kyle lifts me up from his lap and turns me around placing me on the bed as i lay. He leans down and kisses my cheek and i grin at him as he gets up and leaves with Martinez leaving Valentino in the room with me,
"Hi Val." I smile at him and he smirks walking over and taking Kyle's position on the bed.
Ummm......does he want himself killed or something?
"Hello chipmunk." He hugs my shoulders sideways and i giggle into his chest.
"What have you been up to?" I smile pulling away from his chest but he keeps his arm around my shoulder and i roll my eyes at him.
"Ya know. Getting girls and messing around." He shrugs like its the normal thing in hjs everyday schedule.
"Euu."
"Oh come on, at least I'm not the one getting into my boss' pants." He smirks down at me and i gasp hitting his chest.
Euuuu
No, no and noo
"That is not my intention, sir. Your boss is my good friend." I state firmly glaring up at him.
"Ouch, friend - zoned." Val says with a fake wince and i roll my eyes again.
"Why does he have a soft spot for you?" He asks like its something so hard to believe or come to terms with.
That is a question i always ask myself.
Why me?
"We are friends." I shrug, sounding not sure of my answer.
"Naa, i think it's something more than that." Val mumbles and a mischievous smirk forms on his lips.
"What do you mean?" I ask, my voice breathy and hoping for a reply I desperately want to hear.
"First, he is whipped when it comes to you. Second, he is a normal face expression around you which i havent seen unless its with his abuela. Third, he cares about you so much." Val says rubbing my shoulder blade and i smile,
"He likes you," Val says and my insides grow jelly as my heart beat accelerates.
Could it be true?
Does he like me like me?
Oh sweet Jesus.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask furrowing my brows at him and narrowing my eyes.
"I just told you, chipmunk." Val says. I still find it so hard to believe. I mean i like the guy but how can he possibly like me?
Me
Me of all people.
"Anyway, are you okay?" Val asks referring to the incident i walked in on last night.
I sigh, "No."
"Its still traumatising, you know. I have never seen someone being killed in real life. It only happens in the movies so seeing it in real life hits differently." I say and he smiles hugging me sideways,
"You're such a sweet and innocent kid." Val says in a soft voice and i smile,
"I know."
"I hope you know we shall always be there to protect you. Especially the big guy." Val says and i smike widely at him.
"I know and thats why i love you guys."
"You are so adorable, chipmunk." Val says squishing my cheeks and i slap his hand away.
"Ill castrate you." I warn and his brows lift up in amusement then he smirks,
"Feisty, i likey."
I roll my eyes at him and thats when the door opens and Kyle steps in. He sees Val's hand around my shoulder and sends a deathly glare towards him.
Val rolls his eyes and whispers into my ear, "Jealous mother fucker."
"One," Kyle starts to count and Val rolls his eyes again getting up and heading outside not before receiving a punch on his jaw.
Kyle walks up to me and takes his position on the bed. He pulls me by the waist and i land on his warm comfortable chest. I sigh and rest my head as my fingers trail up and down his chest,
"I'll take you home after you have a nice nap." Kyke says in a soft voice unlike the deathly tone he used towards Val.
Bipolar much?
"Thanks Kyle for everything." I mumble against his chest. Im really grateful for him being in my life and for everything he has done for me.
He nods and his hand goes to my hair playing with it. He kisses the top of my head then,
"We missed school today Kyle." I say,
"I know."
"Its not okay."
"I know."
"Why did you miss school, Kyle?" I ask
"To take care of you." He says and my heart aches in awe as my chest starts to feel heavy,
I almost blurt out i like him so much but i dont. God, how i want to kiss those soft lips of his and make out with him.
I like him so much,
"Thanks Kyle." I mumble hugging his chest with a huge smile on my face.
"Anything for you, Nessa."
