Chapter 26 Chapter 26
Kieran’s POV
We walked over to Bridget’s room and Jess stopped before opening the door.
“Ok now this chick is not going to be able to get to me and kill me, is she?” she asked
I had to hide my smirk, did she really think that I would allow any harm to come to her while she was with me? I told her that she would be fine and that she just didn’t like other females. That was kind of true, she just didn’t like other women with me. I held my breath as Jess opened the door and walked in. I saw the way that Bridget looks at her before turned to me and smiling like we were close. It made my skin crawl, and I knew that Jess was about to get hurt and I could not protect her. Bridget made a comment about Jess been a snack I had brought her and all I could think was that I would be the only one eating her. Jess did not let the look or snack comment faze her as she introduced herself. Bridget made some comment about her name been plain just like her and then came the comment I knew would come.
“My name is Bridget. I am sure that Kieran can tell you all that you need to know about me. He knows me inside and out” she winked at Jess when she finished.
I saw the small flash of pain cross her face before she composed herself and looked at me asking if Bridget and I used to be an item. Of course, Bridget could not let it go and had to dig even further asking if I had told Jess how Bridget ended up getting locked up. I sighed as she asked Jess if she would like her to tell her the story. I knew Jess would say yes and I knew she was about to get angry at me. Even though Bridget was being a bitch, girls always stood together, and I knew what I did to Bridget was shitty. But I had to do it, one because it was an order and two because she was killing innocent people.
Both girls turned to look at me as Bridget started to tell her the story of how we met and how I got her captured. I tried to read Jess’s expression, but she kept a blank poker face, and I hated it. Once Bridget finished her story Jess glared at me. She was pissed at me for leading Bridget on and told Bridget she is sorry she was treated that way. Like what the fuck! She was killing innocent people and Jess is mad at me for pretending to like her and fucking her? Men do that to woman all the time and for lesser reasons.
Jess stormed out of the warehouse, and I quickly chased after her. Did she forget that I drove her here and that I would have to take her home? She was so pissed at me that she did not utter a single word the whole drive home and it pissed me off. I was doing my job and keeping the humans safe, why could she not see that? We arrived at her house, and I climbed out of the car like I usually do. I asked if I could come in and she said no. She was so angry at me for doing my job that she didn’t want me to spend the night with her. Well fuck that, I pulled her towards me and kissed her. She needed to get out of her head, and I knew one way to do that was to get her horny. My mission worked and soon We were moving towards the door while still kissing. I quickly locked my car with my remote before taking the key off Jess and opening her door. I locked the door behind us and quickly carried her up to her room.
I woke up to my phone ringing at 4am. I groaned as I reached over and saw it was Grahams.
“Boss?” I groaned as I quietly climbed out of bed, so I didn’t wake Jess.
“I need you to come to the office now”
“But Jess is still asleep” I sighed “I don’t want to be the guy who leaves before she wakes up”
“Leave a fucking note” he yelled “You will see her when you pick her up after school. Now get to the office now” He didn’t wait for a reply and just hung up.
“Fuck” I groaned as I found some paper and quickly wrote Jess a note before getting dressed and heading to the warehouse.
As soon as I walked in Grahams came out with three girls who looked about Jess’s age. One was even wearing the same school uniform.
“What’s going on?” I asked as I looked between them.
“These girls are friends of Jess’s, and they have some information that we need to hear”
“What?” I asked as I followed them into an office, and Grahams shut the door.
“You know you have an accurate gut instinct” he asked once he sat down.
“What about it?” I asked as I sat down opposite him while girls spread out next to us.
“You thought that Jess would have a skill to get the Alien to talk” he told me “Well it turns out that she had a gift that she has managed to block. That’s why she rebelled and started to hang around with the street kids and pushed her true friends away”
“What are you talking about?” I sighed “I am sure that Jess would have told me if she had another gift”
“She can read people” the girl who was wearing the uniform told me
“What?” I sighed
“If she focuses on someone, she can read them and find out anything she wants to know” the goth looking chick smiled
“That’s why she ran” the red head chuckled “She found out what we really are”
