All Chapters of The chaos of him: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Welcome to my humble abode.” Jesse exclaims with a flourish. His arms wide as he gestures to small, farm house like home far from the rest of the team. It’s a quaint, wooden cabin with a wrap around porch, the kind you live in when you are seeking a small, quiet family life. Not the type you would expect from someone as obvious as Jesse. “Did you steal this too?”He pouts, arms falling to his side.I look away from the pout. It is incredibly distracting. My new, and solid resolution is to keep my head screwed on tight around him. He is just a mission.Between duty and desire, I choose the badge.I would always choose the law.Yet, every time our eyes lock, I forget which side I’m on. That has to change.“The only thing I want to steal, is your heart, so be ready.”Jake snorts, reminding me of his presence and our plan. The very one he had been skeptical of, but I promised to do my part, since everything is riding on this. My part is simple, keep Jesse busy enough to be distra

I toss and turn on the bed.Not that the bed was uncomfortable, it is not soft or hard, it’s just right.My body is thrumming with nervous energy. It’s been days since I last went to sleep, my body is exhausted but my mind keeps going to the man that wouldn’t let me sleep on the sofa. I sit up in bed. Eyes falling on the extra long pants he had given me to wear to bed, with the matching shirt. My face had flamed when his eyes roamed my body, even more so when he nodded in approval. Why was he happy his clothes fit me? Tentatively, I bring the sleeve of the shirt to my nose, it still smelled faintly of him. Catching myself, my arm falls to my side. “What are you doing? Tomorrow might need all your energy, go to sleep.” I mutter to myself.Falling back against the bed, my eyes are glued to the ceiling. I do a mental check of everything that needs my attention at the moment.One, two of my team mates are in the hospital, one is looking for Jesse’s hideout.It randomly hits me tha

I wake up alone.Not the first time. This time however, there are two very obvious differences.One, I feel very refreshed, like I spent the entire day in bed. Something I haven’t done myself, but I hear it’s quite refreshing. I feel exactly the same. Very energized. And it was a few hours of sleep, considering the rays of the sun coming in right now.Which is weird since we went to bed pretty late last night, cramped in a sofa together, no part of me hurts. That brings me to the second difference. My neck swishes left, right, and every corner of the cabin, searching for the man that had shared the bed with me. Slept next to me! Nothing more! I quickly correct myself.There’s sound coming from one of the rooms I am yet to explore.Climbing out of the sofa, I notice covers sliding off my body, they weren’t there when we went to bed. Did he….?That’s when I notice he had been busy, the covers on all the furniture had been removed. Everything is in the wood brown color. In the sunlig

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something hot, painful and makes me feel like I’m choking, in my chest. With my palms against his chest, I shove him away.He stumbles, eyes confused as he looks from his chest to my face. “What do you know? Huh? What do you think you know about me?”“I said I know everything about you…”“And who are you to be disappointed in me?” I cut him before he could say any more.Taking a step towards him, I feel something unravel in my chest. It pushes against everything they taught us back at the academy; the how to treat stubborn suspects. “Who are you to criticize my job?” I let out a small mocking laugh,“Did you really think freelance art curator was your job?? You are a thief, and I am an officer!”His eyes harden again. But I am way past worrying about what would happen if I wasn’t tolerating him. I want to pound his pretty face until the feeling in my chest had smothered to nothing. “Is that what you tell yourself to make you feel better?”“No

“How did he move from a suspect in a stolen item case to harming the prime minister?” I ask into the phone.Kelly sighs like he had been wondering about exactly that as well. “Everything is a mess. I had no idea they knew who our suspect was until now. Mave is getting antsy.” We all hated antsy Mave but right now it’s something that’s the very least of my concerns. How could they splash his face everywhere for something he had no idea about?? “Do you know who is behind this??”“No. But I know they are trying to fish him out.”Fish him out. They are making it hard for him to be outside, and the reason is this item. Whatever this item is, they are ready to toss the prime minister under the bus for it. Nobody is out there looking for him. Our mission still continues, unless our client is declared dead.I can’t let them fish him out.For the sake of our mission of course. Not because I have no idea what they would do to him if he wouldn’t tell them where the item is. “Are you well
