“Not the ball specifically, but the chance to be together just us. You can forget about all of this crap and just enjoy yourself with me.”
I wanted that so badly. We were not like normal couples. We didn’t go to the cinema or go out for dates because we’d been robbed of that. I’d had a taste of it during the time Kit had made it his mission to take me on dates because he knew he wouldn't have the chance again. I wished I could go back to those times just for a second to feel that with him again.
“I know this is gonna sound so fucking shit, but we just gotta make the best of this until we have this figured out okay? I will figure this out.”
Again, taking on the world for me and I couldn’t give him anything in return. I wanted to help him. To be strong with him and figure this out with him but yet again I’d been reduced to the girl that needed protecting by everyone else.
“I’m going to Delta now, so I’ll see you once you’re home later?”
I nodded and smiled, hearing him referring to his home as my home too.
“I wish I could take you myself,” he sighed again, knowing Bob and Phil would have to drop me off at Lilly's house just like they had to everywhere so that we weren’t seen together. I made sure to wear my hair up in a messy bun everywhere so that I’d look less noticeable. It wasn’t a hairstyle I’d usually go for and I wasn't sure if it even worked but it made me look different in my mind. I already didn’t wear a lot of makeup and I’d thought about wearing more, then I realised I couldn’t manage to wear a load of makeup every day. I just wanted to look as unidentifiable as possible so I wore plain skinnies and hoodies everywhere I went and made sure to wear the hood up every time I got in and out of the car. It made me feel more invisible, even if it was all in my mind.
“Hey, Phil,”I said as I met him around the back of Kit’s house. The back entrance to the house had its advantages. It was a closed-off alley with three-story houses surrounding it, which meant Phil and Bob could survey the area before and whilst picking me up. Then Lilly's house had its own private road leading to her front door. As I got into the car, I looked up to see Kit standing in one of the windows with Jax. He had his arms crossed and there was something about the way he was looking at me. He was so serious and deep in thought. When he lifted his hand to wave goodbye I stared at him some more before I got into the car, so Phil could shut the door behind me. I shook my head feeling so confused and pulled my phone from my pocket when it buzzed, notifying me of a text from Lilly.
You coming?I’m sick of inhaling this food. I wanna eat and so does baby!
I smiled,although it didn't last long. As we pulled away my mind went straight back to Kit and how he'd been studying me there standing there with Jax. What were they talking about?

“About bloody time!”Lilly said once she opened the door.
“We’ll be outside, Eve,” Bob said and it made Lilly frown.
“No, come inside. You’re not sitting outside waiting for us to be done.”
“Thank you, but honestly, it’s fine.”
“You guys need to eat, so you can stay badass and protect my friend here, so come inside and eat my food.”
I eyed her, studying the accent she'd just taken on to invite them inside.
“Why do you sound like a gangster?” I asked.
“I have no idea…” she said directly at me, not changing her face at all.
I shook my head and smiled.
“You coming?” she then asked Bob again and it earned her a smile.
Once he called for Phil to come inside too, Lilly led me into the kitchen where she had food on the stove.
“Still hot dads…” she commented before taking four dishes out of the cupboard. We’d left Phil and Bob in the front room to eat as we ate at the kitchen table alone.
"What did you wanna show me?" I asked as I sat back in my seat, feeling full.
"Hmm, upstairs." She stood up and I frowned at her.
"This is weird," I commented as she took my hand and gently pulled me with her.
"Is it my replacement copy of Fifty Shades of Grey?"
My question made her pause mid-stairs.
"Honestly, Eves, I thought we were over this? I'm sorry!"
I shook my head and walked past her. I smiled once she met me at the top and she shook her head, placing her arm around my shoulder and walking with me to her room.
