The Tale Of A Pregnant Luna
Chapter Twenty One

Chapter 21:

Reese sat agitated next to me in the taxi. My mind still confused aboutwhat was happening. We were leaving in such a rush. What happened?the sudden force he had come bursting in through the apartment doorsaid it was not anything good. Just moments ago we had planned tostay for a bit and now this sudden change of events has taken a toll andhe's dragging me with no explanation whatsoever. Here we were in anawkward silence. His fingers tapping his knee in impatience. His handskept on going through his hair. His eyes focused on one spot as thoughburning a hole.

What in the goddess’s name was going on?

"Okay, that is it! What the hell is up with you?" I snapped. "First youdrag me with no explanation, then you blatantly ignore my questions.just what is going on Reese?" I questioned.

"We have to leave, He's here." he said. Yes, I know my father is here, butwhat more is there? What more is he hiding?

"Reese, you're not telling me something. Tell me exactly what's thematter. I know you're not only worried about my father, but you'reworried about something else. Tell me." I said softly as I held his face inmy hands.

his eyes locked with mine as he side, pulling away from me and lookingout the window. He opened his mouth to say something but nothingwas coming out. He looked speechless and baffled. He looked as if hewere battling whatever was inside him.

"Nothing." were his simple words. Did he not trust me? Or did he dosomething that he knows will hurt me? I couldn’t help but let an angerspark in me, knowing he was treating me this way. I wasn't some kindof toy.

"Do you not trust me?" I asked. He kept quiet looking out his window.He didn't reply.

He didn't even look at Me.

Makes me wonder if it was the right choice to give him a chance.

We reached the airport as Reese rushed out grabbing our small bagsfrom the taxi's trunk. He grabbed my hand dragging me to theterminal. I pulled my hand out of his, glaring at him. right now he hadno right to touch me. if there was no trust there was no need to be inany physical contact. realizing my anger he sighed as we continued towalk

"Yes, hello, I booked a ticket under Gold." he said. The man looked athim and looked down to search for the ticket.

"Yes, I'll print that out for now, you and you can head over there, till it isyour turn to board.” the man said as he then handed our tickets andstood as they called row after row.

when it was our turn, Reese ushered me forward as his eyes seemed toconstantly wander around. who exactly was he looking for? my father?we boarded and found our seats as we sat down. the pricingatmosphere quite suffocating.

"Reese, please, tell me what's going on.” I pleaded with him. I seriouslyhate being kept in the dark.

"Look, right now, Colleen, all you have to know for now is, it's not safe.We have to keep look out. For all I know he's still looking for us. I don'twant you stressing yourself or the baby." he said.

"But wouldn't he just kill me if that was the case, since he has a strandof my hair with him?" I asked honestly.

"That would be what I would expect too, not that I would let him, butHe won't do it. He's after something else and he needs you to achieveit. I just can't seem to pinpoint out what exactly it is he is aiming for.”he said bothered as his jaw ticked. I feel like a tool.

"Reese, You are hiding something else from and for some reason it'ssomething you don’t want to say, what did you do or more what did hesay. did you meet him?" I asked him.

"No, I didn't.” he admitted.

"So how do you n=know he's after us? if he really did have a strand ofmy hair he would kill me, so why isn't he. how did you know he wasthere?" I questioned.

"I-"he cut himself of

"Were you lying to me?”

He stared at me in disbelief. "No, I wouldn't lie about something likethat, why would you-" he cut himself short as if rememberingsomething.

"Why would I what Reese? What is it you're not telling me?" Iquestioned him.

He shook his head as he turned to me, looking me in the eyes. His faceturning serious. "Listen to me and listen to me good Colleen. Youabsolutely CANNOT afford to doubt anything I say. No matter howmuch you hate me or can't believe me, don't doubt me just trust me.Understand?" he said.

I nodded simply. But deep down I know it can't be. I've lost my will totrust him. I don't know why, but I can't. He can hurt me anytime; he cando anything. I don't know if what he told me was the truth, or whywe're leaving do dangerous. I honestly want to trust and to forgive him,but a part of male refuses to. And I don't know why.

I looked away from him with a sigh. He nodded and looked away as hemade a phone call. My mind began to drift away.

"excuse me." he excused himself. Soon he came back with a relievedface and the flight began and we were off. All I seemed to think aboutwas, why the hell all of this was happening.

The flight was freaking 11 hours long with no stops and when we hadfinally reached I couldn't have been much happier. We got off andheaded out of the airport. I guess I'm back. I'm home. Soon Reesegrabbed my hand and walked in a total opposite direction.

"Reese, what are you-" he cut me off.

"keep your head low and keep close. He's right there.” I turned slightlyonly to see the man I hated and still hate and will forever hate. Standingwith a smirk.

My father.
