that means. Demon will die at the hands of Brandon and I’m brutally honest when I say that I’m ok with that. I know the average person outside of this life would be horrified at that, but after what I’ve been through and what Demon and his club did to me, I just wish that it could have been me to finish him off instead.
The next morning, Brandon is true to his word and gets Doc to check me over. The worst of my injuries are the cuts on my face thanks to Andrew. It’s not long after when Drew, Elise and Natasha pop their heads around the door. They run towards me and join me on the bed.
“God, I’m so glad you’re ok.” Natasha holds me gently.
“Grim was so angry while you were gone. “ Elise spills. “I was actually scared of him.”
“He wouldn’t hurt you.” I assure her.
“I know.” She nods. “He was just so upset. You should have seen how angry he was with Franky, he wasn’t the same without you.”
I think about what she says and it’s hard to picture a scary Brandon. Hopefully they won’t have to ever see him like that again.
“Was everything ok?” Natasha asks and I know she’s asking if it was like before. I let them know what they need to and leave out the bits they shouldn’t know.
“I can’t believe they took you.” Drew whimpers, a lone tear dropping down her cheek.
“Hey!” I tease her. “No crying remember?”
We catch up a little on the bed, but I know they’re being careful with me. They don’t seem to understand that I’m a lot better coming out of it this time around. I know I have my family with me now and it makes a huge difference.
“We ok to come in?” I see Baby by the door. Devlin is behind him, looking a bit unsure of himself.
“Sure.” I smile.
“Ooh, your face is looking pretty messy.” Baby jokes but Drew doesn’t seem to share his humour.
“Shut the fuck up, Kai!” She glares at him and he holds up his hands in surrender.
“Only joking, sis.” He winks and sits down next to me. “You know I’m kidding right?”
His suddenly serious face shows me how worried he actually is and I pat his leg. “Of course.”
He smiles and nods in relief, it’s then I spot Devlin walking in and he’s not his usual jokey self.
“You ok, Dev?” I ask him.
“I should be asking you that.” He scoffs. “After I saw what they did to you, I can’t stop thinking about revenge.”
“I’m ok.” I try to assure him. “Really I am, but I know I wouldn’t have been if you all hadn’t saved me. So thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank me.” He replies. “You’re like a sister to me, and I would do it again for you in a heartbeat.”
“Same here,” Baby adds and I smile at them both.
I sniffle through my threatening tears. “Shut up.”
Everyone laughs and I’m glad to see Devlin finally relax. Natasha though has tensed up and I remember that she had told me about that awkward kiss between her and Devlin. I haven’t heard anything else from her and she seemed fine. So, I didn’t think to ask but by her body language, there’s something there.
As I laugh at Baby and Elise kidding around, I keep my eyes on Devlin and Natasha. I notice Devlin’s eyes keep looking over to Natasha but I’m unable to see her reaction. She’s keeping quiet and that’s not really like her. Something is definitely up.
Brandon then appears with Franky, they had a meeting in his office and they both smile at us all.
“Nice to see you doing well.” Franky leans in and gives me a kiss on the head.
“Thank you.” I whisper, honoured that he would come and check on me.
“Ok!” Brandon declares. “Time for you all to go, I need some time alone with my woman.”
I laugh as they all grumble and stand. They each say their goodbyes and when Natasha leans in to give me a hug, I whisper in her ear.
“I need to talk with you.” She gives me a confused look, but when I raise my eyebrows she seems to click onto what I’m talking about and bites down on her lip. With a slight blush she nods her head and leaves. I do notice that Devlin watches her, but Natasha keeps her distance.
When they have all gone, Brandon locks the door behind him and grins. “Finally.”
