Hunted 164_Burn those who burned me!

Gracie’s POV: 

 I opened my eyes just as the sun was rising. The room was still slightly dark. The television must’ve been turned off. I could see the light pink colors through the huge ceiling to floor window just over Kai’s shoulder. It couldn’t have been no more than 6AM if the sun was just rising…still early.

 I looked up at my sleeping fiancé, he had me wrapped in his embrace. No wonder my dreams became peacefulst night. I never dreamed of the fire whenever I was with him. The thought made my heart smile as big as my lips. I wasn’t ready to disturb this moment. I snuggled my face info his chest and decided to go back to sleep.

 “I love you Kai.” 

 The words came out quietly as my eyes shut. It felt good to say aloud what my heart had been feeling across two

 lifetimes.

 Kai’s POV: 

 When I finally woke up, Gracie’s head was <iying on my chest. She was woke and watching something on TV that was making her giggle lightly. I’d never get tired of that sound. Unaware I’d waken up, she slightly jumped when I kissed the top of her head. I couldn’t help but <iugh at her nervousness.

 “Good morning.”

 I beamed brightly at her as her eyes widen with hints of guilt in them. 

 “Good morning. Did I wake you?!” 

 “Not at all.” 

 She gave me one <ist look of skepticism before rxing. It was the truth, however, she hadn’t waken me up.

 “How long have you been up?” 

 She scrunched her small nose as if trying to think about her answer. 

 “Emm…maybe about an hour now.” 

 I nced over at the nightstand; the clock showed the time was just after eight. 

 “What are you watching?” 

 9:45 Wed, Sep 10 

 “This movie called ‘Eternal Love,”

 “I don’t think I’ve heard of that one. Is It any good?”

 Gracie giggled slightly before responding.

 “Well…it depends. If you like those cheesy overly dramatic dramas…then definitely.” 

 I was a little shocked. Gracie always seemed mature beyond her years so hearing she liked those typical romance dramas was rather interesting.

 “I’m surprised you like this type of stuff.”

 She giggled again.

 “It’s okay to have a guilty pleasure every now and again.” 

 Guilty pleasure. 

 Was she mine? 

 Before I could respond, my phone began to ring….Ka.

 Annoyed, I answered with irritation in my voice.

 “What is it Ka?” 

 “Oh, don’t what is it me you grouch…are you guys hungry? Breakfast is being prepared in the grand dining hall.”

 I tapped Gracie on the shoulder to see if she was hungry. Her face instantly lit up. Guess that meant yes. 

 “We’ll down shortly.” 

 After getting dresses, Gracie and I made our way down to the dining hall. She was wearing this pink sundress that hug her body in all the right ways. My thoughts went from dark to envious to panic as I thought about the fact others would be able to ogle over my fiancé while she was out with Ka today. 

 As we entered the dining hall, it looked like just about everyone else was up. 

 “Good morning children.” 

 My mother beamed brightly as we made our way to the table. 

 “Good morning everyone! I hope everyone slept good.” 

 9:45 Wed, Sep 10 

 Gracie smiled brightly as she hugged my mother and aunts.

 “Not as good as Kai I bet.”

 Tyler’s face had a mischievous grin on it. I wanted to punch that grin right off. Luckily, Gracle missed hisment, I stared a thousand daggers at him as Cameron tried his best not tough. 

 I’d kill them both </iter on.

 While we all ate, everyone started discussing their ns for the day. 

 “Gracie I nned a girl’s brunch for us four!” 

 Ka beamed as leaned on Gracie’s shoulder. I could tell Gracie was excited but there was a hint of guilt in her eyes once she looked at me.

 I smiled lightly; she wanted to make sure I wasn’t upset about her leaving me. Always so considerate. I kissed her head and whispered in her ear. 

 “I want you have fun doing a girl’s day. While you’re out, buy something you think I would like.” 

 Her eyes widen as her face began to turn light red. I <iughed inwardly knowing she was probably trying to decipher what that meant. I’d give no hints, however. Let’s see how creative you are Gracie.
