Till Death

Chapter 8

Fourth pov:

I feel Gem eyes on me as I stir the porridge I was making he has been quiet since we arrived not that I have spoken any too. The heated eyes following my every move even when I finished and setting the pot he didn't alter a single word

"Babe are you ready to eat now?" I ask Gemini I take some plates but was stopped

"You are holding a bowl" he says making me look at my hands to see indeed I was holding a washing bowl

"Oh"

"Fourth baby what's wrong?" he asks taking the bowl from my hand before pulling me to him "did something happen? Did I do something wrong?" He stares at me his eyes searching mine

"Nothing's wrong, you didn't do anything"I say looking everywhere but his face.

I don't think am ready to talk about him yet it's has been years but the wounds still there,the memories.

"Bab-"

"Gem please" I say cutting him off pushing him away closing my eyes before sighing "please not now"I finish opening my eyes to see him looking hurt as he puts his head down. I'm so sorry

"Okay" he whispers

I walked away rushing to the room feeling guilty not being able to stay in his presence. This shouldn't be a problem I have to be able to tell him right I need to tell him he's my boyfriend we shouldn't be keeping things from each other especially things like this,I just can't bring myself to say his name or even talk about him. Why does he has to come now why here of all places and why does he even still have this type of effect on me.

I run my hands through my hair in frustration as I sat down on the bed. I need to talk to mom. I take my phone out of my pocket putting mom on call

"Ma he-" I cut myself off as I look at the screen to see Jim "oh hey Jim"

"Fourth child,how are you?"

"Am fine how are you?"

"Good"

"Where's mom?" I asks

"Oh she's in the bathroom" he says making me raise my eyebrow in question. He looks everywhere but my face as his face turns red answering my question

"Ewww" I say making a gagging noise. I didn't want to imagine that "so is it official?"

"Am still waiting for your mom to de-"

"Jim is that my phone?" I heard my mom from the background

"Yes fourth's calling" he says as he pass the phone to mom

"Fourth baby it's not what it looks like" she says looking at me in panic with towel wrapped around her head while I hum smiling

"Sure" I say nodding my head

"Forget that,how are you?"I sigh frowning when I remember why I called "what's wrong?" She asks

"Ma I saw him" I whisper looking away from her closing my eyes "I saw HIM"I say drawing the Him as I open my eyes to see her looking at me with wide eyes before walking away from Jim going outside

"Baby are you okay?" She asks softly looking at me with concern eyes

"I should be but am not"

"It's okay I didn't expect you to be but Does Gem know?" She asks

"No" I say laying down on the bed laying on my side "he's being asking but I can't bring myself to talk about it,I didn't expect to see him and guess what he's in my faculty" I say chuckling bitterly
