ON THE RUN

Thoughts

MONTY’S POV
Last night seeing Cassie screaming like that made me sad. Am glad that I slept with her cause am not sure what could have happened if she had been alone. She kept on screaming uncle uncle and there were tears on her face even though she was asleep.
When I woke her up, I just had to hold her as tight as I could. I wanted her to know that she is safe with me. I know there is something she is not telling me but I don’t want to force her to tell me things that are too painful for her.
She slept in my arms for the rest of the night and I liked it but I didn’t go back to sleep. I had so many thoughts in my head.

When she wakes up I pretend to sleep to see what she is going to do. Am surprised when she reaches out her hand to touch my face.

The feeling was amazing. Her hands are so soft, I like it. I let her take her time with my face. Not to brag but I know am cute, girls can’t resist this awesomeness.

I’ve been around a lot of girls but being with her here is different. I open my eyes and her cheeks turn red with embarrassment for being caught in the act. She tries to talk but she is just stuttering; I think that’s cute.

“Good morning.” I say just to save her the trouble of talking. She answers me but it’s almost inaudible. I look into her eyes and gosh those eyes are amazing.

CASSIE’S POV
The way Monty look at me is just breathtaking. Am sure I could stare at him all day.

“wanna go down for breakfast?” he asks in a very husky voice and damn that’s sexy. I just nod my head.

“But I should take a shower first.” I say “I don’t remember the last time I took a proper shower.” I continue and he chuckles.

“okay, you can go have your shower. You will find some clothes laid for you on the bed.” He says “I think there is an extra toothbrush in the bathroom.” He finishes.

I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom on the other side of the room but I can feel his intense gaze on me.
his eyes could even pierce through my back. With that kind of staring I could surely fall. The bathroom is very large; it has a bathtub and a shower.

I go for the bathtub, am glad to see some lavender bubble bath. I strip my clothes off and get. The water feels so good on me. I could stay in this tub forever but because am hungry I won’t. I finish my bath and walk into the bedroom.

As promised Monty left some clothes for me but am surprised to see that they are his clothes. I thought he would get me some clothes from Sage.

Anyway beggars aren’t choosers so I put on his sweatpants that he laid for me and his black shirt which is overly large for me. I chuckle when I look at my reflection in the mirror. I look hilarious.

I decide to plait my hair a bit, it’s been loose for a while now. then there is a knock on the door. I answer and Monty walks in. I notice that he has also taken a shower, I take a look at him and continue with plaiting my hair.

“let me help you with that.” He says

“Uhm ok.” I reply though am curious.
Since when do gang leaders know how to plait hair. He sits on the bed and he makes me sit in between him.

“who taught you how to plait hair?” I ask the question that’s been on my mind.

“my little sister,” he says “I used to plait her hair all the time.” He says softly.
That’s so adorable, I didn’t expect him to have a little sister but I think it’s cute.

“where is she now?” I ask. He doesn’t reply for a while and I have a feeling that it’s a touchy subject.
Dang it I shouldn’t have asked so maybe now he is going to burst out on me again.

“she died.” He replies after some time

“am so sorry.” I say slowly.

I have a feeling that there is more to his sister’s death but I can’t push him to tell me about it so I just let it go.

“it’s ok,” he says “am done now let’s go have breakfast.” He finishes with a smile.

“I should take a look first,” I say while walking over to the mirror “hmm its better than I expected.” I say while giggling.

“I know am good at this.” He says with a smirk. Argh there he goes again smirking and it gives me butterflies.

I hear some noise as we approach the kitchen that means everyone is there.
Am sure that’s Jake and Rex arguing over silly stuff. When we walk into the kitchen they all quite down and look over to us. Yikes I hate those stares.

“Good morning my favorite person on earth.” Xander says while walking over to me

“Good morning my favorite person in the entire solar system.” I reply then I hug him.

He pulls me to go sit next to him. Sage is sitting on my other side.

“hey douchebag.” Sage says while slapping my shoulder playfully.

“hey dunderhead.” I reply then smack her even harder.
She yelps in pain; we all laugh at her.
