Amazing date

Rhea's POV

"My hands have been tied down, and my eyes can no longer see the difference between right and wrong. I don't really care what the truth is anymore. All I see is you, and all I think is you. How could I have made such a great mistake? I don't want to fall in love, but my heart has other plans…" Kayden played the guitar beautifully.

With each lyric of the song coming directly from his heart, it was almost like he wrote the song himself.

"You sing beautifully " I complimented him.

"That's one good thing you have said about me. I think I should write it down somewhere " he chuckled.

"Very funny" I gave him a forceful smile, taking a deep breath.

"I can't believe that you took me out on my first date" I had a big smile on my face.

"Date?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"Yes, this is a date isn't it?" I asked him.

"Yes, I guess," he responded reluctantly.

"You didn't plan for it to be a date, did you?" I chuckled.

"Actually, I just wanted to apologize. All this is Eliza's idea,"he replied.

"I could tell" I responded and we both fell silent all of a sudden.

"Are you tired? Do you want to go home?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"Yes please" I replied.

He helped me out of the seat, and held my hand to the car.

I couldn't stop staring at him, and thinking about how special I felt.

Maybe, it was a good thing that he spoke to me the way he did at the hospital. He would never have been this nice to me.

Kayden would have made such a great husband if we married under normal conditions.

"You think a lot. You should stop it" Kayden advised as we drove him.

Had he heard my thoughts again?.

The remainder of the journey back to the packhouse was very silent.

We arrived at the entrance of the packhouse, with the guards rushing to open the gate for us.

I wasn't used to this kind of treatment. I never knew people could be so bothered about other people that they didn't care about.

I walked to my room, twirling around before I eventually tossed myself on the bed.

"I have the most romantic and handsome husband in the world. I'm a luna" I smiled at myself, staring blankly at the ceiling before I eventually fell into a deep slumber.

Kayden's POV

"Did she like it?" Eliza walked into my room without my permission.

"Yes," I responded.

"Did you like it?" She asked me.

My eyes widened in shock as I snapped my neck in her direction.

"Why are you asking me that?" I asked her, and she chuckled.

"Because you also have a smile on your face" she gave a faint smile.

I took a deep breath, staring blankly at her.

"Don't even let that thought cross your mind Eliza" I shunned her.

I knew exactly what and where she was driving at.

"What thought? I haven't even said anything yet" she laughed at me.

She had a weird smile on her face.

"You like her, don't you?" She finally voiced her thoughts.

"I dont. I don't have a heart to love , remember, "I reminded her.

"I know you don't, which is why I used the word "like" and not love. You can't love her, but you do feel something for her. I mean, you don't let anyone speak to her anyhow or treat her badly. You went through so much trouble just to make it up to her. I know you Kayden, you don't care about anyone else like this" she said.

"You've risked your life so many times to save hers. Just admit it Kayden, you feel something for her" she continued to pressure me to speak.

"Eliza,  stop it. I don't want to think about anything right now. "I cautioned her.

"Fine, I will. But, don't come to me when it's too late for you to realize it and she will be far away from you by then" she told me.

"Rhea isn't going anywhere!" I screamed, suddenly becoming defensive.

What the hell had come over me?

"I hope so too, because you will become a mess" she laughed at me.

I clenched my fist, at a complete loss for words. I didn't know if I was expected to feel angry or just horrible. Either way, I wasn't happy with the thoughts of Rhea leaving me. She would eventually leave me though, just like the rest of them have.

"So, when will you tell her the truth?" Eliza snapped me out of my thoughts.

"What truth?" I became confused.

"The truth about us and the relationship we really share. Are you just going to let this charade continue?" She asked me.

I lowered my eyebrows wondering if something had come over her.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you asking me this question?" I was lost.

"Because, I cannot tolerate the pain I see in her eyes when she remembers that her husband married another wife without telling her. She's hurt, tell her the truth" she caressed my face with her palm.

"And risk your life in the process? I have lost you once and I cannot afford to lose you again "I refused.

"She is not going to tell anyone the truth. I don't think Rhea is that type of person" she continued to beg me.

"Why have you taken so much likeness in Rhes?" I asked her and she shrugged.

"Because, you like her and that means I like her too. Plus she is very sweet and I think you make a great couple" she responded.

I glanced at her and shook my head slowly.

Grabbing her by the wrist, I showed her to the door.

"You can leave now Eliza" I tried to slam the door, throwing her out of the room, but she kicked the door with her leg.

"I will not go until you say yes to my request" she was too confident in herself.

"I will think about it" I responded quickly, knowing how dangerous it would be for me to even start an argument with her. It would not be worth it.

She eventually left, giving me the alone time I needed.
