Hellbound With You (WN)

Abi ’s eyes immediately flew to Zeke ’s face and there it was. An expression finally broke through his normally unfathomable face but before Abi even had the time to decipher what it was, it had already disappeared, as if it was only a figment of her imagination. At that moment, she felt like she was reaching out for an intriguing paper plane that was finally falling closer towards her. She was so close to finally grasping it but a strong wind suddenly blew it away from her reach before she could even jump to capture it and all she could do was watch it disappear from her eyes.

The next moment, a chuckle echoed inside the car. It was soft but it sounded like a rolling thunder from a deep, endless abyss. That was the first time Abi saw and heard Zeke laugh. It was a strange sound because she just couldn ’t tell whether his laughter contained any buried emotions or any meaning in them. This man was still such a mystery even after he saved her life, even after she teamed up with him to try and get Alex ’s memories back. She still couldn ’t quite figure out what his real agenda was.

”You don ’t sound like you ’re really thinking about it though, ” he said once his laughter faded. He opened his eyes and stared at Alex through the rear view mirror. ”You sound like you ’re hoping for it to be true, Alex. ”

A small smile played on Alex ’s lips and his expression became unfathomable as well.

Abi and Alicia eagerly waited for what Alex would say next but unfortunately for them, he didn ’t say anymore and just continued smiling, as if he was amused at some private joke inside his head while Zeke simply shook his head.

Abi and Alicia both felt a little disappointed that Alex hadn ’t rebutted Zeke ’s comment. They were both really curious about the relationship between these two so they had wanted the conversation to go on so that they could maybe find out something, anything that would give them an idea on why Alex seemed to listen to Zeke.

The car halted in front of an inn. Alex looked out the window, narrowed his eyes as he zeroed his gaze through the open door.
