Chapter 147

Lola's POV

“Wake up, beautiful”, a voice said and I swatted in the direction I heard it from. “Wake up, Lola”, the voice said again, deepening than it

initially was. I wanted to swat in the direction it came from again but I couldn't quite pinpoint it. The sound was everywhere in my head and

my eyes shot open in panic.

I took in my environment and saw that I was in our room. I turned to where Adrian was sleeping and he was already grinning at me

mischievously.

“I should have known that you're the one. I don't know why I was panicking”, I huffed and faced towards the ceiling with a roll of my

eyes.

“I'm hurt you still don't know my voice in your head after all these while”, he said and I turned to glare at him. “I was sleeping”, I

snapped.

I didn't mean to snap but I was on edge. The look on Rose's face after we told her what happened still breaks my heart and I felt bad that

I was the cause of her heartbreak.

“Are you still worked up over what happened with mom in the morning?” Adrian asked beside me and I sighed deeply. “We were

responsible for her pain. How are you not bothered about that”, I said before sitting up and turning my back to him so that he won't see the

tears in my eyes.

Fuck, I'm not supposed to be so weak, I thought to myself.

“You're not weak at all, baby. You're one of the strongest people I know”, Adrian's voice rang in my head and I smiled a little.

If only he knows.

“I should go and see her”, I made a move to stand up from the bed when my stomach decided to growl in hunger. “And I should get you

fed”, Adrian said from beside me. I turned crimson red to which he chuckled.

“You should go and freshen up, I'll whip up something for you to eat real quick”, he said as he stood from the bed and started to pull on

a shirt. My eyes did not miss the way his muscles contracted and Jasmine purred in my head.

“Down, girl”, I teased her and felt her rolling her eyes. Adrian gave me a kiss on my forehead before he stepped out of the room.

I went into the bathroom to clean up. While doing so, I tried to see what Adrian was going through our mindlink but I couldn't see

anything.

At some point, I felt agitation, pain and sadness that wasn't mine. I hurriedly finished up with what I was doing and threw on the closest

piece of clothing that my eyes landed on.

The nearest clothes happened to be one of Adrian's T-shirts. I grabbed one of my shorts and threw it on, rubbed my hair with a towel

and left it down to dry.

I quietly left the room and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but it stopped almost immediately. I moved slowly and hoped to get

anything from what was being said but I couldn't hear anything. I wanted to know what triggered Adrian but I couldn't hear anything.

“You know it is rude to eavesdrop, don't you?”, Adrian's voice came through our mindlink and I froze where I was. Of course he caught

me, that's why everything suddenly became silent.

 â€œI was just wondering what make you agitated and sad”,

I said, revealing just a part of my reason. Truth was that I wanted to know what he was discussing with Rosa so that I could know how to

approach her also.

I stopped at the entrance to the kitchen and I could almost cut through the tension in the air with a knife. Adrian's body was rigid and

Rose had puffy eyes and looked like she didn't sleep a wink all night.

“Hi, baby”, Adrian said and I waved at him shyly. “Hi, Rose”, I said and almost bit my tongue with how lame that sounded. She nodded

her head at me in acknowledgement and I sighed deeply.

“I want to go and take a shower. I'll be back in a minute ”, Adrian said to nobody in particular and left the room before I could say a

word.

I cleared my throat and moved closer to where Rose was stirring something on the fire. “Do you need help with anything?” I asked but

she shook her head.

It felt like I had been slapped across the face and I tried not to cry again. I can't keep crying at every little inconvenience.

“I think I like it better when you lash out at me”, I started, “this silent treatment is killing me, Rose. I'm sorry that we did what we did but

we had to do it”, I finished.

She turned to me so fast with a fire blazing in her eyes that I took a step back.

“You had to do that? There was no other thing to do apart from that? You guys knew the consequence and still went ahead with it”, she

said and tears rolled down her eyes.

Looking at her swollen eyes, knowing that she's going to lose both of us after a while, my tears cascaded down my cheeks and I went to

pull her in for a hug.

“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It was something I had to do, that we had to do. I'm so sorry, Rose. You wouldn't have agreed if we told you but

it is a necessary evil”, I whispered in her ears as I kept hugging her over and over.

“We could have found a way. I'm sure there would have been another way if we had searched deeper”, she said defeatedly.

She knew we had to do it too. She just didn't want to admit that. She hugged me tightly and sobbed into my shirt as I rubbed her back

and tried to keep my own tears in.

“The food on fire is going to burn”, I said after a while and she hurriedly put off the fire. I looked around properly and realized that she

was cooking up a feast.

“Are we expecting visitors? Let me guess, the gang wants to come over?” I asked and she nodded with a smile.

“Lyla has been constantly claiming that her baby wants to see her godmother and you also refused to pick her calls. She threatened to

bring down the house if she doesn't get fed when she comes visiting”, she said and we both laughed.

“You should have called me to help you then”, I said, “this is a lot to prepare by yourself”. “I was angry at you and besides, this is

therapeutic for me”, she replied to me.

I was about to counter her when the doorbell rang. “I'll get it”, I told her and skipped to the door. I was expecting to see a grumpy Lyla,

smiling Avianca and laid-back Nathan but I was met with a completely different person.
