Chapter 152

I stir a little when I start waking up and for a second, confusion takes over me. I look around me and smile a little when realization dawns on me. I'm in Silas's arms. We're back together. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I'm glad that I'm his girl again. Everything feels right and just being held by him makes me feel like I'm home. All the worry that had my heart under its control has vanished and I feel safe. I was the stupidest person alive when I let go of him and I'm never repeating this mistake.

Silas

I stare at him for a couple of seconds and kiss his cheek before trying to get out of his embrace without waking him isn't a light sleeper, but he's not a heavy one either. Luckily, he doesn't wake up when I manage to get out of his embrace.

I I walk inside the bathroom to freshen up, then make my way to the kitchen to make him some breakfast. When I had a sleepover with the girls, it was my first time having breakfast in ages. When I first told them that I hadn't had breakfast in a while, they didn't judge me acted like it I was all right. They didn't comment on my tremendous weight loss or anything. However, they sneakily tried to get me to eat by asking me to try things out and before I knew it, I was eating as we chatted about the most random things. I guess being surrounded by the right company has its positive effect on me.

I look into his fridge and replace some eggs, so I decide to make some scrambled-eggs. I also replace boxed pancake mix, so I make some. I put on some music and hum quietly as I move around the kitchen. It's been a long while since I felt happy like this and I'm grateful that I'm finally feeling better.

I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you," I sing along as I turn on the coffee machine.

"I missed this." I squeal as two strong arms haul me up, making me laugh. Silas puts me on the kitchen island and gives my lips a quick kiss. "Hey there, gorgeous."

I smile like an idiot when he calls me that and I wrap my arms lazily around his neck. "Hey there, handsome." I beam, letting my hands play with the back of his hair. "Slept well?" *Perfect." He steals another kiss. "I miss your breakfast," he tells me, and I smile.

you, cupcake," he says. I hop off the counter and pour the coffee into two mugs before we both sit down. I'm still not used to eating breakfast like I used to, but I'm trying to work on regaining my healthy eating habits.

My phone dings and I reach for it to check if there's something important, but when I look at the message, my heartbeats increase.

"What's going on?" Silas asks, probably noticing the change in my facial

"You're not as safe as you think you are. Who would send you this?" Silas's tone shows anger.

"I don't know," I whisper. I'm scared. I don't want what happened last night to happen again.

"Listen, cupcake," he turns his full body towards me and I also turn to face him, "I swear, I don't want to control you or anything, but I want to ensure your safety. Please, until we're sure that you're safe again, don't go out on your own. Last night, you almost got kidnapped and now you've received this chilling text. Somebody is targeting you and until we replace out who he is, we need to be careful.

"I understand. I don't want anything bad to happen. Í have had my fair chair of drama already and I just want a peaceful

Why does my life have to be dramatic? I just want a normal life. finally have my memory back and Silas and I are okay again, so why does something need to appear out of the blue like that and make me live in fear? After finishing breakfast, Silas and I pack some of his belongings since we're both going home. We head to my apartment afterwards and pack some of my things.

I head to my bookcase to pick a couple of books to read while I'm home, but Silas stops me and says, "Why don't we pass by the bookstore instead? You can leave those here and read them when we're back."

My heart warms at his words and I'm instantly reminded by Everest who used to make fun of my love for books.

"You're perfect,'" t," I mumble, wrapping my arms around his torso as I stand on my tiptoes and kiss his cheek.

After leaving our stuff in his car, Silas takes me to the bookstore, and he doesn't get me two books only. He ends up buying me six books, bookmarks, and tabs.

"The special edition is coming next month, right?" he asks, making my heart swell.

"Yes, would you like to pay for it in advance and have it reserved for you?" the cashier offers, and he agrees.

"Silas, we don't have to get it now. You've already bought me so much," I tell him, but I guess he's not having it, because he hands the cashier his credit card and tells her to reserve a copy.

"I want to pamper

he wrapping his arm around shoulders.

"You've already pampered me." I giggle as I point towards all the things he has bought me.

"Then let me give you extra pampering, because you deserve it. He kisses the top of my head, making me smile.

As we walk out of the bookstore, my phone screen lights up with a new notification. I gulp as I take a look at it and take a heavy breath. Another message that makes me want to crawl into a shell and hide forever. Enjoy spending time with your lover boy, because there's a e's a high chance you'll be taken away from him'

"Another text from that unknown number?" I nod at Silas's question and frantically look around. I can't see anything abnormal in the street. My breathing quickens as I look around. Am I about to have a panic attack? "Rosie, deep breaths, cupcake," Silas says as he brings himself in front of me and places both of his hands on my shoulders. "Breathe like me, yeah?" I slowly nod and try to do the same.

The wind is strong and although I now get cold easily, I can feel my body burning up out of pure anxiety. I'm trying to blur out my surroundings and focus on Silas's voice, but it's hard. It's hard to do that when I know I'm being watched.

"Nobody is going to hurt you, Rosie. That's a promise," Silas whispers, closing the space between us. I close my eyes as t place my head on his chest and take a shaky breath. I know that Silas is not the one to break promises, but I'm scared that

may be the first one he breaks. I'm aware that if this happens, it will be out of his hands.
