That is where I spend the rest of the evening, even eating my dinner there while we watch Extraction, and I drool over Chris Hemsworth.
However, Seb spends the majority of the film claiming, ‘that would never happen’ and moaning about how over the top it is, but surprisingly enough, he also claims what a great film it was by the end. Jay and I crack up at his total hypocrisy.
* * *
The next coupleof days are quiet. Jay visits Natalia determined to change her mind. Personally, I think he likes her, but I don’t call him out on it.
On Wednesday we visit Blue and Cam, and while I go googly-eyed over the baby, Blue and Seb go to the bar below, shoot some pool and have a few drinks.
I begin to feel like my life is normal and I don’t have a threat hanging over my head. If I’m honest with myself, it feels too comfortable and a familiar voice, that’s also been quiet of late, begins to whisper in my ear again. Only this time it’s not of doubts about Seb, more like a sixth sense. A warning that slithers beneath your skin, or the hairs on your body standing on end or the ghost of breath on the back of your neck when no one’s there.
I dismiss it, instead thinking about how this dinner with my dad and Marcus is going to go on Saturday. Dad called me earlier today and told me that he’d spoken to Marcus, and I held my breath, hoping that Marcus hadn’t mentioned where he’d seen me because I’m almost certain Dad would have heard the rumours about Tempest.
Thankfully, if he did say anything, Dad doesn’t mention it, merely giving me the details of the time and place. When I ask how mum is, he tells me that he’s staying at the house with her, and I’m more than surprised by that. Seb said he was going to try and get her to tell him who this guy she had an affair with is, but I wasn’t expecting him to move back in. I’m not daft enough to think it means they are getting back together, but I can’t lie and say a small part of me doesn’t feel a little bit of hope at the idea. I tried to ask him more about what’s happening, but he either dismissed my questions or ignored them altogether.
Whatever they are hiding from me, and definitely from the guys, will come out soon, and they’re crazy to think otherwise. Let’s just hope that it’s before one of us ends up dead like Alex. And Noah.
And yeah, he might have been the director of a company that looks likely to have been involved in trafficking, but it’s not like he was the owner. Seb seems think he was just the front man. Being a friend of Jasper’s also puts a black mark against his name, but sometimes we don’t know the people we are friends with, and trust, as well as we’d like to think.
