Miranda's Pov After the unpleasant visit from the stranger, things continued normally between us. My health got better and Jonas is almost civilized. He still hasn't said a word to me, but I'm beginning to enjoy his silence. Our mornings usually start with us making breakfast together, then we go hiking and spent the rest of the day lazing around. My mom also calls regularly to check up on me. I picked up a course online for want of something to do and I have been busying myself with it. This morning was no different, I was busy at the kitchen making breakfast while Jonas stood at the doorway, watching me with his hands crossed. His huge body filled the small area and I suddenly felt claustrophobic. I glanced at him, a smile on my face. " Hey, why are you standing there? Won't you come to help me?" I asked, pouting. He chuckled, unfolding his hands as he walked closer. But instead of helping me out, he wrapped his hands around my waist, pull
Miranda's Pov. I woke up with a start the next day, a smile on my lips. It had been hard to fall asleep last night and when I finally did, it was to dream X-rated dreams with Jonas in it. Blood rushed up to my cheeks as I remembered the contents of the dreams. How I wish they could happen in real life! Unfortunately, I need my head to be clear today or I might be taking the first move as regards those dreams. I got out of the bed, trudged to the bathroom, and brushed my teeth. Then dropped by the shower, having a slow, thoughtful bath. These past few weeks have been the happiest day of my life and the reason couldn't be far-fetched. It was all because of Jonas. His presence in my life had turned a lot of things around. I didn't realize how much was missing till he showed up. I wondered I would survive if something happened to him... Or rather, if he got caught by those demons again. I resolved in my mind then, I was going to do everything I can to make
Jonas Pov I watch her as she busies herself in the kitchen, making breakfast for the both of us. Her hair is packed into a loose bun at the top of her head, her face tightened in concentration. Other than that, she's always smiling. She glances up at me and her face lits up in a smile and I smile back, a warm spreading all over me. She's so beautiful, I don't think she even realises that. She saved her life, if it weren't for her, I would have been dead the day. She also wasn't scared of me and I felt at at ease with her. She's through cooking the bacon and she turns of the cooker, plating it, making sure mine is always more than us. She never eats much. Wanting more than just staring at her, I walk over to her side, wrapping my hands around her waist as I placed my nose of her neck, inhaling her scent. She smells so sweet, it's intoxicating. She stiffens at first but soon relaxes, a small chuckle coming out from her lips. " Jonas, wh
Miranda's Pov The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed. I wanted to go to town to check up on my health and also buy some groceries since we were running low on them. Stepping out of bed, I let out a sigh, running a hand through my hair. A smile tugged my lips as I remembered my mother's visit. She had approved of Jonas and Jonas had been comfortable around her. It's weird that I got into a relationship this way but I wouldn't have it any other way. I quickly hurried to the bathroom, going through my morning routine. Once I was through, I stepped out, pat drying my hair and wearing some clothes. It didn't take too long for me to get ready. Once I was through, I walked out of the room to meet Jonas ready, a cup of coffee in hand. He greeted me and passed me my cup. Nodding my thanks, I collected it from him, taking a sip from the heavenly brew. He is getting incredibly good at making coffee. I sighed, my insides tingling. " That'
Miranda's Pov By dawn, the police had arrived and they were picking up the dead bodies and taking reports. When they asked what had killed the men, I told them they had been attacked by wolves. They didn't believe me but they took my words anyway. The woods were cleared and they promised to get back to me the moment they found anything. I thanked them and we left back to the cabin. The atmosphere was still tense as I watched jonas pace around the room. He looked like he wanted to rip someone apart. Not that I was any different. I had suspicions and I wanted to confirm it. I went for a quick shower and change my clothes, getting ready to leave the house but Jonas stopped me on the way. " Where are you going?" He asked. " Out. I want to see someone." I told him. " I'm coming with you." He said but I was already shaking my head. " You can't. You saw what happened last night. Someone is after you. It's not safe out there." " All the reason i shou
Miranda's Pov " His name was Dexter." She announced and my heart skipped a beat. Standing from my seat, I paced around for a while, running my fingers through my hair. " You lost your son twelve years ago?" I repeated, still finding it hard to believe. " Yes." She answered, more earnestly this time. I glanced back at Jonas, swallowing. " And he matched all of the descriptions that I put online?" " Everything. He's a bit of a special being, my boy. Please, are you with him?" " U-uhm... I'm not sure of how much I should tell you." I began but she cut me off. " Please, I really need to know if you have him with you. I can send you proof, anything. His picture, even his birth certificate. I just need to know that he's alive and well." Closing my eyes, I gripped the phone tightly, my heart racing. This is a lot to take in. " Can I call you later? I'll need those things that you earlier mentioned but I have to call you later
Miranda's Pov Stirring awake, I opened my eyes to see Jonas worriedly peering down at me. When he saw that I was awake, relief immediately flooded his features and he relaxed instantly. " What happened?" I muttered, my voice hoarse and my head hurting. " You passed out." He replied, his voice coated with worry. I groaned, sitting up on the chair he placed me on. Looking around, I realized wee were at a park and it was empty. The events of earlier came rushing into my head and I immediately gasped. Alarmed, I snapped my eyes open, glancing at him. " What happened!? Did we escape!?" I asked frantically. He held my hands as he nodded. That's when I noticed the blood on his clothes. " Did you get hurt!?" " No." He replied, just as calmly. I swallowed, my heart racing. Nodding my head, I tried to think straight. " That's good. It's good that you weren't hurt. But we need to find a place to stay. They might still be looking for us." I said. Something i
Miranda's P. O. V " Mom, you're being too loud." I groaned as I stared out the window, watched as the trees zipped by. " Sorry, sorry. " She muttered, her voice apologetic. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Glancing at her, I let out a small smile. " It's okay, I'm not angry. Just tired." I said. " And I know that more than anyone. Don't worry dear, we're almost there. You're going to love it here! It's so quiet not to mention how clean the air is. It's going to be such a great change for you due too.…" And just like that, my mum continued rambling. I couldn't get angry at it though, it was her way of coping. She always talked a lot when she was nervous. I stared ahead, my gaze unseeing. Here I am, a twenty four year old lady who's life is about to come to a standstill due to a terminal disease. I was diagnosed of pulmona
