I say, feeling a little nervous as I take it.
His hand is still on my thigh, and I’m unable to focus on anything, watching as leans back against the sofa again. I clear my throat, moving my leg slightly and only then does he lift his hand, allowing me to breathe once again.
Goddess…
I sit back, crossing my legs as I lean on the armrest once again, resisting the urge to brush my fingers over my thigh where his touch lingers. We’re silent as we continue watching, and soon I’m fully immersed in the moviemy heart racing as the woman, Beth, goes to meet her friend at the park.
In the middle of the night, yeah, that’s smart when you know there’s a psychol loose in town.
“Are you ok with this movie?”
Zade asks me, making me glance over at him.
I cock a brow, as the woman gets out of her car and walks into the woody park.
“Janet? Janet, are you there?!”
“Yeah, it’s not like I’m alone,”
I say, shrugging as I place my now empty cup down.
He says nothing and I stare at the screen, the suspenseful music building.
“Oh, she’s going to get killed. The killers are going to be right there waiting for her.”
I say in frustration, my heart pounding as I watch in anticipation as the woman steps into the woods, a branch cracking under her foot.
There’s an ominous sound behind her and I tense as she turns, but there’s nothing there.
I let out a breath of relief as the woman sighs in relief and hurries down the path.
“Wrong move…”
Zade murmurs. I’m about to question him when suddenly the masked killer springs out at her, knife in hand.
I flinch, grabbing onto Zade’s knee, and turning away from the screen as she tries to fight off her attacker.
“She’s as good as dead,”
he murmurs, running his fingers through his hair.
“She’s one of the main characters. She won’t die.”
I say, not wanting to admit. what looks like an inevitablity coming. She won’t die.
“She ignored her initial instincts, plus without a doubt, it’s her brother,”
Zadesays.
“No, it won’t be. He’s got no reason to be the killer, plus he’s done nothing suspicious.”
“And if I’m right?”
Zade asks as the gory sounds of stabbing stop, the woman dead, and the scene changes. I look into his eyes suspiciously.
“You’ve watched this movie before, haven’t you?”
I ask.
“No. I don’t really watch movies,”
he replies.
“Well, stop making everything a challenge. I’m pretty competitive.”
I state.
“As am I.”
Our eyes meet, and there’s that tug again.
“Well… I’m afraid Zade Toussaint that I shall not entertain you tonight.”
Iwhisper, leaning closer to him and slapping his thigh before I turn back to the movie, I think I see a flicker of a smile on his face, but when I glance at him, it’sas stoic as ever.
I must have imagined it.
VALERIE.
An hour later, it’s over and, as he predicted, the killer was indeed Beth’s brother. The very same guy he had said it would be, but before he could say anythingcocky, my phone rings and I pick it up quickly.
“Zaia! How are you?”
I say, not missing the way Zade stiffens.
“I’m great. You sound happy today, good day?”
she asks.
“Kind of, not too bad, I guess. I visited the hospital and seems like I’ll be quite busy. How are my little nieces and nephews?”
I ask.
“They are all great, and they are sending you all their love and kisses.”
Zade stands up and walks away, giving me some privacy and I appreciate it although I know he’ll probably be able to hear everything, anyway.
“I got your text earlier, and I was a little worried… What’s wrong hun?”
Zaia’s voice softens and I close my eyes, wishing I hadn’t replied when I didn’t feel great. Zaia notices everything and she’s obviously picked up on it.
“I didn’t even say much. Why would you think something’s up?”
“Exactly, your message just wasn’t how it would be usually. What is it?”
I sigh, leaning back in my seat. “Nothing, I just had a bit of a low moment.”
“Jai?”
she whispers knowingly and my heart clenches.
No…
“No,”
I say, feeling guilty almost as if I’m betraying him.
I am, aren’t I?
“Talk to me, what’s on your mind? I wish I was there.”
Zaia’s soft voice comes.
I close my eyes, “It’s nothing, I was just wondering how I ever was chosen as one of the Blood Borns, I mean I’m the weakest, I was the weakest even then and now too… I mean there was a huge gap in my capabilities in comparison to the rest of you.”
“Val, you were still healing when the war happened. Don’t ever think you were the weakest.”
She’s being nice, typical Zaia.fingers through my hair.
She laughs in disbelief. “Make you feel better, Val? Tell me when one of us was injured, when we were in desperate need of a doctor but could trust no one, who did we go to?”
Me….
“You. When we needed operating, without even having everything we needed for the procedure, who pushed through and bravely did their best?”
Me?
“You. When I was sick during pregnancy and didn’t know what was happening, who figured it out and got me an antidote?”
Me.
“You. Who was there looking after my children and keeping the place together when we were preparing for the final showdown? You. Goddess Valerie, you are so incredibly strong. You have always been strong. I admire you, I always have. You were always the no-nonsense Doctor Scott who took nothing from anyone. You are my hero, Valerie, all of ours. I wouldn’t be here without you, and neither would Zion or Sia.. and the others… you helped so many of us, Valerie. See the you that I see and you’ll understand.”
She means it and although I see that… I’m still lacking.
“Those aren’t what I mean, I mean as a Blood Born, not my doctor skills,”
I answer quietly, remembering Zade’s words. The weakest…
