Belonging to Him

Fourteen- Secrecy

Chapter 14- Secrecy

Silence; that’s what was happening in the car as Kael drove us forward. Right after my lunch, my shift ended and he insisted on driving us somewhere. I wasn’t sure where, but I knew the road was familiar.

“Are you going to tell me where you’re taking us?” I asked, leaning forward, observing tree after tree as we passed them

“No,” he replied

I leaned back, “Okay,” I pondered on that thought “where are we going, then, Kael?” I looked in his direction, smiling slightly

He chuckled, “I would answer your questions,” he said “except that one. Be patient, witch”

I sighed at that, “Please stop calling me a bitch”

“I never call you that, Jaymes” he said, his eyebrows furrowing

“You call me a witch” I retorted

His frown stayed, “I thought you knew”

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued “That?” I asked, when he didn’t reply, I spoke again “You thought I knew what, Kael?”

“That you enchant me” he looked at me, his eyes serious “the same a witch does”

“Do witches exist?” I asked

He turned his head back to the road, his eyes far away. I dragged my eyes back to the road, wishing that I knew what he was thinking.

What was he thinking?

“What are you thinking?” he asked

I grinned, “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked, referring to his shifting abilities

“These…secrets aren’t supposed to be talked about, Jaymes” he said “You didn’t tell me you disliked it when I called you by your- by the name ‘witch’”

“I don’t know why…but that name…I guess, it just fits me” I said, looking at nothing in particular

“Don’t worry, we’ll get there” he said. I could have sworn he meant more than just our destination

“Are you afraid of heights?” he asked, stopping the ignition on the side of the empty road

I frowned “No, why?”

I grinned, “Good. Follow me”

He led the way forward, past trees, and rocks and bushes. It took a while until we stopped. I pushed a branch away and walked forward to be greeted by the sight of a wide spread out body of water in front of me, the huge spread of bright blue clouds decorated the beautiful background for the green shade of the trees.
