Chapter Twelve

I hate the fact that I’m listening. Sitting upright in my bed, ears peeled, waiting to hear Reece return. Haven’t showered, haven’t changed my clothes. Haven’t done a single thing but obsess about what he might be doing.

What the fuck is he doing?

Reece is always upfront with me. No matter what he’s doing, he always tells me about it beforehand, though I’ve never made it a requirement. Now, I can’t help the nagging feeling that my suspicions about him are true. He is hiding something from me.

The moment I hear him, I’m on alert. I don’t move, not even a single inch. I just listen to him, silent. My chest tightens a little more when I realize that he’s heading toward me. Straight to my bedroom.

I will myself not to move when he finally arrives and just calmly stare at the door, watching the knob turn, the door open, and his beautiful face peeking through. A face that, in no way, shape or form, looks like the face of a traitor. But why the hell do I have that nagging feeling in my stomach that Reece can’t be trusted right now? And where the hell did he disappear to?

“You’re still dressed,” he says by way of greeting. “Dawn is approaching.”

For some reason, I expect him to look a lot different. Expect the deception to morph his features into something I can hate. But he’s still the same Reece. Still looking at me the same way. Still talking to me with a voice filled with calmness.

He comes into the room, closes the door with a click. Now, with the same soundproof walls surrounding my room, we’re cut off from the rest of the Academy, from the rest of the world.

I watch him as he comes toward me and sits on the edge of the bed. For the first time in … well, forever, I don’t know what to say to him. So I settle for the truth. “I was waiting for you to come back.” The words sound more like an accusation than anything else, but he seems to miss that in my tone.

Pleasure leaps into his eyes and the side of his mouth twitches into something of a smile. “That might just be the nicest thing I’ve ever heard,” he jokes.

I don’t smile. I watch his hand as he takes my feet and settles them into his lap, rubbing gently. Touching me with hands that do not feel like the hands of a traitor.

“I think I’ve said nicer things,” I say lowly.

Reece continues to rub my feet, smiling. “You really think you have, Mariella? We both know you aren’t the type to say nice things. But it’s fine. You have other ways of showing you care.”

I only stare at him, my mouth dry. But no matter how I try to read his face, I can’t tell whether or not his words were meant as an insult or not.

Reece’s eyes pay attention to my feet, a smile on his face as if he’s content with just doing what he’s doing for the rest of his life.
