CHAPTER 15
âYou told me he was the bad guy.â I climbed through the window, put my hands on my hips, and shot Fernando my most disapproving glare. âNow youâre hugging him?
I wasnât surprised, really, or even disappointed. It wasnât Fernandoâs fault he had a soft spot for sweets. This entire situation was Silasâs fault for tempting him.
âAnd you,â I said, turning my ire to Silas. âWhat exactly did you read about Fernando? And how did you know we were here? Have you been keeping tabs on me?â
âI knew you were here when I heard you banging around on the ladder and then saw you spying through my window,â Silas said. âItâs difficult to see how that would lead you to believe I have been spying on you.â
âYou couldnât have heard us. We were quiet,â I said, knowing it was a pathetic response.
âAs quiet as a herd of elephants.â
âImpossible.â
He shrugged. âThin glass.â
âThin excuse.â
âAs to where I read about Fernandoââ
âYou managed to get your hands on my book,â I said. âI must admit itâs deviously impressive. But now I have something to hold over you. I can simply tell the bossââ
âNot everything is about you, Lily,â Silas said.
My stomach hardened into a knot. How dare he. âYou certainly seem bent on making it that way, constantly inserting yourself into my life, now not just professionally, but personally as well.â
âI didnât read your book, Lily.â
I opened my mouth and snapped it back shut. The wheels turned in my head, trying to figure out how he could have gleaned information about Fernando otherwise.
As if reading my mind, Silas said, âI read specifically about Fernando in the Compendium of the Undying.â
I glared at him. âWell, if thatâs true, why not just tell me that to start?â
He smirked back at me. âAnd miss out on your wild accusations? Never.â
Fernando loosened his grip on Silasâs leg and looked back and forth between the two of us. He looked like a confused and lost child caught between two fighting parents. Of course that was ridiculous, as Silas meant nothing to him beyond a means to receive chocolate.
âEverything is all right,â I told Fernando. âItâs always like this with him.â
Fernando smiled at me.
âThis place is supposed to be shut down,â I said to Silas. âHowâd you manage to weasel yourself into a room? Blackmail the owner?â
âA favor,â he said. âIf youâll excuse me, I need to get dressed.â
I turned to Fernando and said, âSounds like blackmail.â
âYes.â Fernando nodded.
Ignoring us, Silas grabbed a set of clothes from his bag and headed into the bathroom. I watched him go, unable to look away from his muscular calves and back dimples. What did he think he was doing sitting around in a towel anyway?
As soon as he clicked the door shut, I took advantage of the opportunity and did a quick scan of the room. Silasâs tan trench coat hung on a hook by the door, the coat that was supposed to have been mine. Iâd called dibs. What kind of monster didnât respect dibs? Silas freaking Huxley, thatâs who.
