HYBRID GROSS 22

victoria

It's been a few hours, they finally finished repairs on the helicopter and said they will leave tomorrow as soon as the sun rises. I stand back and watch from afar as the four Hybrids dine on the dinner I've prepared.

I slowly move away and sit on my stool, the one I always sat on to look at the stars and consequently I cried, I observe the canvas with the painting by Gross almost finished, it is still in the same place, my eyes fill with tears but I don't feel plus that horrible emptiness from the beginning.

I still miss my mother a lot, it's been five years since she passed away, but the pain hasn't gone away. The memories of his death from freaking cancer come to me with the baggage of what happened next, which is when my freaking father sold me.

It was on that fateful day that everything started to go wrong in my life.

But now... With only a few days since I found a Hybrid in my backyard, I no longer feel like a depressed woman who wanted to cry myself to sleep, who let the ghosts of the past consume me, Gross has filled that void in my heart.

The intensity of my feeling for him in such a short time scares me, especially when the idea of him leaving without me makes my heart ache.

I stare up at the dark sky and a shiver runs through my skin, I'll give Gross the only answer I can but knowing they're leaving at sunrise reminds me of something that worries me, my job, I can't leave my coffee in my hand like this, suddenly.

I at least have a phone to tell my boss or Flora that I won't be coming anymore. This starts to worry me because I'm afraid that the others won't want to wait for me until I go at least to my boss's house, since he never goes to his own establishment and tells him that I'm leaving and if he wants I'll stay for a while. the day's work.

I could go now, at night, but it's almost ten o'clock, by the time I get there it will be half past ten. Maybe he's still awake and I can warn him and he can reach Flora. I massage my forehead, a headache of worry wanting to kick in.

- Are you okay? Gross's voice catches my attention, I look at him and give him a smile.

— I am and you? I answer and he crouches down in front of me.

- Me too. Your food was wonderful, the best thing I've ever had. His content, peaceful expression makes my heart ache in such a good way.

- Oh thanks. Glad you like my food. I stroked his arm.

"You said you weren't hungry, is that really okay?" You are quiet and tense.

“I'm just thoughtful and a little worried.

- With what?

— I have to inform the cafe owner that I won't be working anymore, so I have to get there at five in the morning for the day's work and I think it's a tremendous mess that I don't go more without any advance notice.

Surprise takes over her features.

— So, you... — he hesitates — Will you come with me?

- Yes, I will. I answer with conviction and a smile spreads across her pretty face.

- Yea? he repeats, smiling.

“Yes, Gross, a thousand times yes. — I throw myself into his arms.

He supports me, hugging my body.

"Are you absolutely sure?" You're giving up everything to go with me, I don't want you to feel regretful and unhappy afterwards, but I swear I'll make you the happiest female in the world, just like you make me feel.

— I have nothing to regret, I lived an empty life until I found you, I want to be where you are. — I'm totally sincere — It will only make sense from now on, with you, you gave me a new meaning.

“Victoria. — he grunts my name and takes my lips in a hungry kiss — I've never allowed myself to cry but I feel like doing it now, out of happiness. - confesses after parting our lips.

- What's up? It's all right here? a familiar male voice interrupts us.

Gross turns his head to look at Brute in the doorway and smiles.

“We'll stay together, Victoria will go with me wherever HybridFalls is . he reveals and the other hybrid doesn't seem surprised.

"So you're taking a mate?" The other male raises his eyebrows.

- Yea.

"No problem with that?" I mean, him taking me to live with him. I ask.

“I don't see the problem, something about our males are strongly attracted to human females, or something about human females. As soon as we got here we already knew they were involved, in addition to the smell, we noticed the way they look at each other.

"Do you no longer need to ask me questions to find out if I'm trustworthy or not?"

“I leave the report to Jack and Runner , if you weren't to be trusted, Gross wouldn't be involved with you. If he wants her as a mate, no one can interfere, we've learned many lessons from other couples: never separate a male from his female.

“I'm very happy about that. - Gross smiles, looking at me, his expression so beautiful - If I wasn't allowed to take her, I wouldn't go.

"Well, I'll leave them alone. Thank you for giving us blankets to sleep in and for dinner, it was really good.

- You're welcome. I'm sorry I don't have anything more comfortable than the floor with a few sheets covered.

"It's fine, we've slept in worse places." Good night and get ready to leave at dawn.

- Goodnight. I say and put my arms around my Hybrid . Definitely mine — Gotta pack. - I smile.

- I will help you. He gets up and takes my hand.

— Oh! I was about to forget. I need to let my boss know, my conscience won't be clear about this. Do they have phones? — I mean Zest, Brute, and Timber.

“Let's ask. — we walk towards the kitchen, the largest room in the cabin, where the three large Hybrids are lying down and one of them is precisely with a cell phone in his hands.

"Hey, can I borrow your cell phone?"

- For what? Zest asks.

— To let my boss know I won't be working tomorrow.

"Tomorrow and never again." - Gross complements.

— It's true, I heard the conversation, you go with Gross. Take it. He hands me the device.

I walk to my room, Gross is behind me, I look in my wardrobe drawer for a small notebook that I keep some contacts that I consider important, when I find it, I dial the number of my boss, Mr. Clovis.

After a few minutes, I hang up, with an inescapable feeling of guilt and irresponsibility. Of course Mr. Clóvis contributed to this when he cursed me with these names, but I couldn't just say the real reason for not going anymore.

"Am I a bad person for this?" For letting him know at the last minute that I won't be working anymore that he's supposed to let Flora know that she's going to take the full day shift until he gets me a replacement? I ask Gross, sitting down on the bed with my cell phone in my hands.

— You weren't that cold with words, you were kind and you just couldn't do anything. He tries to calm me down.

- IT IS. I take a deep breath. He has to understand. I shrug and raise my arms to my Hybrid .

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me to my feet, lowering his face to kiss my lips.

"Want to take a walk outside?" — he asks me and then brushes his lips on the skin of my neck — To a few meters from here, where I know their hearing won't pick up?

A shiver runs through my body, the desire for him starting to flow, making my breasts and my sensitive spot throb in need of his touch.

- I would love. Then I pack the bags.

The next day...

My hands are shaking, I'm anxious and sensitive. I couldn't close my eyes for a minute, Gross kept me awake the whole time too. It's time to leave.

I look at my bags on Gross's shoulders, in one are all my clothes and documents and in the other objects that I am attached to. There is also a box of my paints and the unfinished painting with his image on it.

After everything is ready inside the helicopter, Gross walks to me and takes my hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it.

- Everything is fine? You're not sorry you agreed to come with me, are you? The quick flash of pain I see in his eyes already breaks my heart.

- Never. I say with certainty. “I'm just looking at the cabin that gave me a fresh start.

- It is time to go. — Brute, who is apparently the pilot, calls out.

"There's a car approaching." Timber announces.

"Who can it be?" I question to myself, a little exasperated.

A bad feeling takes over my heart, a feeling of dread begins to settle in when I remember in whose presence I had that same feeling for the last time.

It was in the presence of bloody Maik.
