Hunter

For once, I respect Jordan’s privacy and knock on my own bedroom door before going back into the lioness’ den. She was livid and losing control when we were trying to explain all that had happened since the hotel. I’m sure she’s not used to feeling all of her emotions since she used to medicate to keep them locked away, but now that her body is cleansed, this has to be a lot for her handle all at once. Not to mention the fact that she still has to get over what Monte and I have done to get her to here.

“Come in, Hunter.”

“How’d you know it was me?”

“Because Monte ran out of here so quick I thought he was going to trip over his own two feet.”

“Oh, he seemed to be gone for a bit.”

“Don’t treat me like I’m a moron. I know he told you everything we discussed.”

“You’re not a moron, and I’m sorry for making you feel that way,” Hunter says apologetically.

There’s an awkward silence between us. She’s looking up at me, waiting for me to say something, so I speak the first words that pop into my head, “May I?” I ask nodding to sit down beside her on the bed. She gives me another nod, so I take my place beside her, keeping one foot on the ground when I turn to face her, bringing the other leg up in a lying bent position. We continue to sit here, just staring at each other. Neither really knowing what to ask or say next.

When I left the room to get Jordan her water, Monte had her tray ready and convinced me that she needed to be left alone, that’s why I brought her cell phone with her nourishment, and let her be. Now, here we sit.

“Hunter, why is it that you said you liked me the way I was and that you wouldn’t change me, but yet, here I am, waking up from a week-long detox that I never asked for?”

“I don’t like you Jordan. I’m in love with you, and I want you around… for a long time. If you continued down your path, I feared you wouldn’t be.”

His words were spoken from the heart and they throw me for a loop. He loves me, but why? There isn’t anything but a shell of a woman to love.

“Is that the last secret that Monte couldn’t tell me?”

“Secret? There’s no secret about how I feel.”

“Then what is it that you need to tell me? Monte wouldn’t give me any other information other than I needed to get whatever it is from you.”

“Are you going to stay with me?” Hunter asks bluntly.

“Why?”

“Please answer the question.”

“It depends.”

“On?”

“What else you’re hiding.”

“I’m not hiding anything else. I told you everything and then some.”

“Then what else is there? I know there’s more. I see it in your eyes.”

“Are you going to stay with me, Jordan? Will you be—mine?”

“Jesus! What is with all the pressure? I just woke up from a week-long sleep and found out I’ve been kidnapped.
