Chapter thirty-seven-Apologizes

Lancelot Carter's Pov:

No one slept last night. I felt so guilty. This all happened because of me. If I didn't say those mean things to her, She wouldn't have left. What could I do? I was jealous. She defended Snow, that jerk. She was so confident about him and I did not like that even a bit. That should not be even an excuse for saying those things to her. How could I tell her she was cheating on me? How could I call her a cheater?

How could I tell her she lied? I was the one who lied. I lied about Snow Willson. I lied about me seeing him killing people whereas I never even saw him. I just heard about him. That was it. I should not have lied. I should have run after her and stopped her. I should have believed her. But if it was not Snow Willson, then who was it? Who was walking around our truck at that hour of the night? I cannot connect the puzzles.

I was driving. We were still heading towards the safe place. I didn't want to go leaving Adira knowing she could be in danger. But I have to. I can't put others at risk because of staying. Now, I have to reach the safe place as fast as I can and leaving them there I can come back for Adira. I just hope mom and dad and my brother were there at the safe place. They need to be there.

"Lancelot!" Emily called me touching my shoulder. I looked at her. She was sitting beside me. When did she come to the front?

"Oh sorry. I didn't see you there. What is it?" I asked her focusing again coming out of my thoughts.

"Adira picked up. She is okay. She is with that guy. Snow Willson. She didn't tell me about her location though. But she is okay. Don't worry." She said patting my shoulder.

My jaw clenched hearing the name Snow Willson. She was with him? I tried to calm my jealous ass down. I took a deep breath. At least she was safe. And that meant everything. But I need her with me right now. I stopped the truck at the side of the road.

"Check if her location is on. We are going to take her with us. " I told Emily pointing at her phone. Emily looked at me in understanding and started typing on her phone. She looked up at me with a smile after some seconds. "Yeah, we found her. She is ten minutes away from her." She said happily. I smiled to myself. "Found you, my darling," I whispered to myself and started the car again and headed towards my love Adira.

Adira Skylar's Pov-

We sat there at the restaurant like it was our own home. The owner didn't complain though. She even offered us to stay at her place knowing we didn't have anywhere to stay right now. I was hundred percent sure the woman was head over heels for Snow by now. She would give him gazes full of adoration which made me feel awkward. On the other hand, Snow didn't even notice the lady's gazes on him. He was in his world.

The man before me yawned letting me know he was not asleep.

"Being pretty must be tiring." I joked leaning against my hand. He looked at me with a smirk.

"Then, you must have been exhausted." He stated cheekily. I leaned backward seeing him leaning forward. My cheeks felt warm. I know I was blushing like crazy. I looked away from him. He chuckled.

"Finding nothing to talk about, right?" He asked looking at me.

"Yeah. I already feel sleepy. And if you don't talk, I will fall asleep right here." I told him.

"Let's see what can we talk about."

"Anything would be fine."

"Okay. What's the word for that infestation of tiny creatures over there?" He said pointing behind me outside of the restaurant. I turned to look at what he was pointing at. I turned back at him and looked at him in disbelief.

"Those are children. That's a school, Snow." I told him still in disbelief. He chuckled at my expression. "I know. I just wanted to see your expression." He said chuckling at me. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"So, do you ever had a girlfriend or boyfriend?"

"No."

"How? Why?" I asked surprised. I was genuinely surprised.

"Never asked. Never got asked." He said shrugging his shoulder.

"But you are so beautiful," I told him the truth.

"What?" He looked at me blushing.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Nothing. Keep going with your stupid questions."

"Hey, that was not a stupid question. Your one was the stupid one."

"Okay then. I will ask a good question this time."

"Go on."

"Why are you not afraid of me?"

"Seriously, I have worse nightmares about failing my subject and get stuck on that university forever."

Snow laughed at my answer. I smiled.

"Want to see what kind of trouble we can get into?" Snow asked me with a mischievous tone.

"Oh God, we are going to die. Aren't we?" I asked dramatically.

"It's a Tuesday. I know how to restrain myself." He said with a sigh. Oh God, he was so dramatic.

"You do not." I acted back earning a chuckled from him.

We were laughing but a voice stopped us from behind. "Adira!"

I turned to look at the owner of the familiar voice. It was Lancelot standing with the others outside the restaurant. He was glaring at Snow. I looked back at Snow. He was glaring back. I turned back again to look at Lancelot. He was now coming towards us. Emily pushed him aside and came running to me.

"Adira, my baby! Are you okay? Are you hurt? I was so worried." She said with a worried tone and checking if there were any injuries on me. I smiled and stopped her.

"I am perfectly fine. Snow took care of me well." I said pointing at Snow. She looked at Snow and greeted him. She again looked back at me.

"Lancelot is really angry. And you are eating with this guy?" Emily whispered in my ear. I pushed her softly and said, "He should mind his own business. Why is he here anyway? How did you guys even find me?"

"You are my business. And I am minding that."Lancelot said coming and standing in front of our table. He looked at Snow and glared at him again. I rolled my eyes.

"We were so worried about you, Sky," Mathew said hugging me. I hugged him back. "I am okay, Mathew," I said softly.

Then Oscar and Valentino me and started scolding me."We told you to stop. And you ignored us back there. Do you know how that made us feel? Tell her Valentino" Oscar said trying to act angry. I tried to control my laugh.

"Don't you dare laugh at us? Oscar is right. You ignored us back there. And then when you just vanished, we felt we lost you." Valentino started glaring at me.

"I won't apologize for running away. But I will apologize to you for not listening to you. Sorry for worrying you guys." I apologized for making them worry. They accepted and again jumped on me. But this time they hugged me. Lancelot stood there maintaining his distance. Suits him better.

"Guys, this is Snow. Snow, this is Mathew, Emily, Oscar, and Valentino." I introduced them to each other except that rude red wolf.

"Snow is a great guy. You all will be friends in a matter of him." I said again. They all looked at Lancelot gulping. I looked at him too and saw him glaring at me already.

"Snow was with me the whole night. He made sure I was safe the whole time." I stated the truth. Don't get me wrong. I was not triggering Lancelot. I was just stating the truth. A loud thump on the table made us all flinch. I looked at the culprit. It was Lancelot Carter. He was fuming in anger.

"You come with me." He started looking at me.

"No, I won't." I simply stated.

"Come with me right now." He growled.

"No, I will not." I stood on my ground. I was still angry with him if he didn't know.

"You are coming with me right now," Lancelot started pulling my hand and dragging me with him. I tried to fight but his grip was too strong. Leaving the others, He came outside and cornered me between a wall and him. He still kept his grip on me. It was so hard. It was hurting me.

"You are hurting me, Lancelot," I said. It was hurting. His grip loosened. I took back my hand away from him and tried to move away from there. But he didn't let me. He still kept me cornered. I looked at him in anger.

"What is your damn problem, Lancelot?"I shouted at him.

"Snow Willson is my damn problem. We fought because of him. And you are here with him?" He stated angrily.

"A sorry would have been nice before anything. And for your information, Snow Willson is my friend for God's sake. I don't think you will believe me even if I tell you the truth. You are just so full of yourself. I am a cheater anyways. Why are you even wanting answers from me? Move! I don't want to have anything to do with you, Lancelot. I don't want to talk with you. Move, Lancelot!" I yelled at him. He looked at me in my eyes. His eyes were full of guilt, hurt. I instantly wanted to forgive him but I won't. Not until he apologizes and realizes his mistake. I looked away from him. I should stand on my ground. He should realize his mistake.

"I am sorry. I am sorry for being such an ass. I am sorry for saying those things. I am sorry for not trusting you. I am sorry that I didn't apologize first. Would you just forgive me this time? I am sorry for being such a jealous ass. Forgive me this once, please? I am really for being such a jealous ass, Adira. I just don't know what happened that time. I started speaking gibberish. I am sorry, baby." He said softly holding my face. I looked at him. He was crying. My anger was instantly melted down. I seriously should not look at people's eyes when I am angry with them.

"Hey, Don't cry. You are forgiven. Why are you crying? Just don't do this again. You are forgiven. Now, don't cry you jerk. But if you again call me a cheater I will be sure to cheat on you for real and leave you. " I said wiping his tears.

"I am sorry that we had to have this argument." He said kissing my hands softly.

"I am sorry too for not telling you about Snow earlier. But you need to know so many truths. I learned so many truths. " I told him softly caressing his cheeks. He nodded and kissed my forehead. I smiled at the sweet gesture.

I looked up at him. He was smiling at me. I pulled him down by his collar and pecked his lips softly. I moved away blushing. He looked surprised by my action. But he instantly pulled me in a kiss. He pressed his lips on me hungrily. I kissed back instantly. His lips devoured my own hungrily. He broke the kiss and said, "I love you so much." And again smashed his lips on me. I pulled him more closer. I didn't want to break the kiss. I didn't want to stay apart from this guy ever again.
