Breaking Point || on hold

Chapter Twenty Two

"Naomi, slow down" Tatara calls after me and I speed walk to my room.

I knew some shit was gonna happen.

"Will you quit being so loud!" I hush him as we finally reach my room.

"You're being loud right now" he whisper yells as he trails behind me into my room. I shut the door closed after him, making sure to lock the door in case someone tries walking in. I turn on my nightstand light and plop down on my bed, waiting for him to tell me something.

"So," he starts off, walking around my room is circles. "What did he say to you?"

I'm taken aback by the question but nevertheless I sigh out and answer "nothing I guess. Just wanted to apologize for something"

"Was that all? Nothing else?" He pushes, looking as if he knows something.

I squint my eyes at him, trying to read what he was implying before finally a lightbulb goes off in my head

"You were listening! You little shit!" I accidentally exclaim loudly, throwing a nearby pillow at him.

"Ah! I didn't mean to I'm sorry, it's just I went up to the roof and I saw you with him and I remember you telling me about how he makes you feel and well my curiosity got the best of me" he picks up the pillow from the floor and carefully hands it to me "I'm sorry"

I roll my eyes as I snatch the pillow from his hands, instantly covering my face with it to hide any kind of blush I felt coming to my cheeks.

I feel the bed dip next to me before I hear him speak again "So what are you going to do Naomi?"

"Nothing. Just meet up and not say anything" my voice comes out muffled before I sit back up and remove the pillow from my face "and you're not going to say anything either, right?"

He looks conflicted for a moment before signing out and relaxing. "I promise I won't say anything. But don't you think eventually you should tell the King?"

"As if now and in the foreseeable future, I will not be saying a word to him about it. Nor Kusanagi or anybody for that matter"  I sternly say, making sure he understand how big of a deal it was to remain silent.

It's not that I enjoy keeping secrets, it's just a number of things could happen; they could get mad, they could go after Fushimi, they could go after the Blues. They could cause more rivalry or even worse, they could completely stop talking to me. I can't have that happen, especially when they're all I got now.

"Okay," Tatara scolts closer to me and grabs one of my cold hands "I promise I won't say anything at all nor pressure you to say anything. But I need you to promise me one thing" he says in a serious sincere voice

"What?"

"That you'll tell me everything that happens. I just don't want you to get hurt or for anything to happen to you two"

I think it over for a second before nodding at him "okay, deal."

He gives me a warm smile and squeezes my hand before standing up and yawning.

"Well I'm tired and I'm sure you are too. Get some rest Naomi, good night"

"Night Tatara and thanks" I return the smile as I walk him out my door and lock it behind him once again.

I make my way back to my bed after I turn off the light. I take off any unnecessary clothes before wrapping myself up in my blankets and shutting my eyes.

Short chapter bc there's lots of flooding in my city (I live in Texas) and so I've been busy with trying to stay safe and dry.
Hope this wasn't too bad, I'll try to update the next few chapters soon.
To anybody who is being affected by the tropical storm like myself, please stay safe and don't leave unless you have to. Be careful going through the water as there can be snakes and fire ants and other stuff
Love you all, thanks for being patient ❤️
