Trey
After makinga run for Dimitri I haul ass over to Sabine's place. I wasn't sure what was going on but when I heard her on the phone I knew that something was off. She seemed a little down and instead of me being able to put that out of my head all I can think about is how can I make her feel better. I'm supposed to be looking for a way to get more information about the cartel and Dimitri but instead all I can think about is spending more time with her. I spoke with Marcel and he pressed me again about what I was finding out. I told him that I hadn't found out any more information. He's not happy with that answer but right now it's the best that I can give him. If I'm honest with why I don't know much more than the last time I went over to see him he's not going to be so forgiving. Honestly, instead of doing the digging here at the facility, I've been focusing more on Sabine. I've already had her sexually but it's done nothing to curb my appetite for her.
I make it to her house about ten minutes later than I say I'd be there, a buzz of excitement sparking over my skin. After only knocking once, her door opens, and she stands in front of me with a pair of painted on jeans and a blue tank top. Her long dark hair is comb to one side, and she's wearing a pair of fluffy socks. "Hey beautiful."
"Such a charmer." Sabine opens the door wider, and I follow her into her space. The last time I was here, we were all over each other. In fact, every time we're together, we can't keep our hands off each other.
There's a comfortable couch in the main living room and we take seats there. I pull her knee up and turn towards her. "I'm here, tell me what's going on."
She seems absolutely surprised that I'm here to talk to her just as she asked earlier.
"Oh, it's okay. I was just being overly emotional earlier." She flips her hand trying to dismiss the topic.
I put my hand on her knee and give a little squeeze, "Don't do that. You don't have to invalidate whatever it is you're feeling. You wanted to talk. I'm here."
"Too good to be true sometimes, you know."
I shrug, "I try."
With a sigh and the drop of her head I watch as the wall she was trying to put up comes crumbling down. "It's nothing bad, honestly. I don't know why I'm acting like this."
"Start from the beginning."
"The beginning is too long ago, but I can give you the gist. My family and I had a very strained relationship, for as long as I can remember. In fact so much so that I used to feel like the outsider." She starts.
"The black sheep of the family?"
She snorts lightly, "That's saying it lightly. Anyway, I owned up to that. I was fine with that but now things have changed."
With my background, I do have some information on the family already but she doesn't know about that. I can't tell her either so I nod to encourage her to continue.
"Now, our relationships are on the mend. They're including me in more things. They accept me and my quirks or at least they're trying to." She sighs.
I look away for a second trying to figure out what the actual problem here is. From what she's telling me, all of that sounds good.
"Okay. Then what made you upset."
Her eyes open wide before she talks again, " I don't know how to be that person. The one they're happy to see. I don't know how to talk about feelings and disappointments. My sisters all went out to lunch today, they hugged me, asked me for my opinion, included me in the conversations. It's bizarre." She throws her up letting it fall back down to her leg before she continues, "My sister just got engaged, and I was so happy I could've cried. That would have never happened to me before. I feel... like a fake." She turns her gaze on me and for a second I think she knows that I've been hiding from her. It takes me a moment for me to realize that she's only talking about the fact that she doesn't feel like she's being true to herself.
"Sabine, the kind of changes that you're talking about don't happen overnight. They take years and years to come to fruition and even then I doubt you ever not feel like you're out of place. They may not have said anything but I'm sure they all know that you'd do anything to be there for them and that you're trying your hardest to embrace this new way of being in their lives. Your family loves you more than you realize. In the heat of the moment they will be there when no one else will." I know that for a fact.
When Dimitri took both Tristan and Desiree, her family did everything that they could to find them. Even when they thought Tristan was dead they were still trying to find a way to avenge him. They never gave up. I know that it's the same for her, even if she doesn't believe it herself.
After a few seconds I see her get this strange look on her face, "What?"
"I wanted to tell them about you." She whispers and moves a little closer.
"Oh? What about me?"
She gets up on her knees and straddles my lap, "I wanted to tell them that I met a man who is literally driving me crazy because he's nothing like I've experienced before. I'm not used to wanting to be around someone as much as I want to be around you. I wanted to tell them I might be a little addicted to you." She leans forward and kisses me softly.
"That's good." I mutter and pull her in tighter to me.
"Is it?"
"Yeah, I didn't want to be the only one." I bite out just as she opens her mouth to me on a moan.
