Chapter 670 - Are You Afraid Of Me?
I instinctively traced my body cam with my fingers as I slightly let off on the gas for a bit, but I quickly stepped on it before everyone else at the back would notice. The engine continued to roar despite a brief pause and we continued on our way back home.
However, glancing at Kaley told me she was curious to see the whole thing.
Usually, I’d be also curious to uncover what exactly happened in those three days where my body was moving on its own, but I can’t help but be afraid that she’d look at me differently. In some way, I was partially in agreement with what Alvarez said in our previous meeting.
It’s just that I’d still do the same nevertheless.
‘They’ll be having it easy if I just killed them outright…’
After some time, we reached the borders of our territory and we made it to the crematorium to process Mrs. Benitez’s remains. It would take some time to completely turn her remains into ashes so we let everyone else either go home or go someplace they’d like.
It was still a few hours before sundown and they’d only need to restock before doing a quick run.
Artem and his group obviously took up the offer and went back to get a refill but to my surprise, Oscar and Matthew stayed behind with us. Our vehicles were just parked right next to each other but Matthew was the one who came up to me.
“Kid, come with me for a sec.”
“Hmm?”
“Just us two. That house by the corner is enough.”
Kaley interjected, “Why do you–”
Oscar cut her off, “Lass, just let them do their thing. It’s gonna be fine…”
I just let out a smile, “We’ll be back soon.”
“O-Okay…”
Kaley just sent us off with her eyes as Matthew led the way but I couldn’t help but notice that Matthew kept sighing heavily as we walked further and further. When he finally stopped walking, he just pulled out a cigar and lit it in front of me.
Before he managed to utter a word, I pulled out my phone and took a picture.
“Wha–”
“You’re not supposed to smoke, right?”
“You fucking snitch–”
“I’m not snitching on ya, this is for blackmail–”
“What?! That’s even worse!”
I chuckled before I secured my phone, “Anyway, why’d you have to bring me here? Is there something you got to tell me that Kaley shouldn’t hear?”
Matthew’s expression immediately changed as he paused for a moment, “That… I just… I just wanted to tell you to please… please take care of her and don’t ever, ever hurt her… She loves you and–”
“You know, I’m already doing–”
“Let me finish.”
“…”
“Where am I… As I was saying… She loves you dearly but– don’t take this the wrong way… but as a father, I’m fucking terrified of you being with her… So please, don’t… don’t hurt her… she’s… she’s already been through a lot… even before all of this… Just–”
“W-What are you saying right now? Terrified? You’re terrified of me? Why? Why would I hurt–”
“It’s fucking complicated, alright? At first, I was afraid you won’t be able to protect her but now… I’m just afraid you’d do the opposite thing. I’m just scared that–”
“Stop.”
“What–”
“I said stop.”
“…”
“I don’t get where this is coming from but if I ever do what you think I might do, point a gun at my head and pull the trigger. Keep pulling that trigger until you ran out of bullets, and you could either dismember my body and throw it in the river or burn me to a crisp and piss on my fucking ashes if you aren’t satisfied. I’m not hurting your daughter, not now, not ever. This conversation is over.” 𝗇𝑶𝓋ℯ𝑙𝓃𝓔xt.𝑐𝒪𝐌
I just looked at Matthew’s face wearing a complex expression before I turned around and walked back without waiting for him to follow.
I was shaking my head and wearing a disgruntled expression as I walked back, and I just looked for a wall that was away from everybody else and leaned on it while ignoring everything. I was so fucking mad and confused about what Matthew just said to me, I couldn’t help but curse on each breath and wish that someone would just come at me so I could break their face in.
‘Me, hurt Kaley? The fuck is he– he just had to pile on at the worst fucking time…’
At some point, I just saw Oscar’s SUV backing up and leaving the area, only leaving me and Kaley at the same spot.
To my surprise, Kaley was fuming mad as she sent them away with her eyes and she instantly ran up to me with an apologetic expression. After that, she just extended her hand to touch my face but little did I know that it was to wipe the single tear that was flowing down my cheek.
“A-Are you okay? S-Sorry, I should’ve known that– Argh! He’s so stupid! Why can’t he understand that–”
I cut Kaley off as I looked at her, “Are you afraid of me?”
Kaley never looked so flabbergasted, “W-What are you– What?! I’m not–”
“Are you afraid that someday… I might hurt you… even unwillingly or not to my knowledge?”
All of a sudden, Kaley just grabbed the back of my head and gave me fucking headbutt. Furthermore, as soon as our heads collided, she just stared at me with watery eyes while her mouth was pouting while it was keeping a bit of air on the side of her cheek. Her face would exchange between glaring at me and almost being about to cry.
“D’you really think I’d leave you for that?! You fucking doofus! I-I hurt you more than I– That’s not the point but even after all that, y-you stayed with me! Why can’t I do the same for you?!”
“So, you think I still might–”
“That’s not the point! What I’m saying is– W-Who gives a fuck?! Can’t people make mistakes and own up to it?! Besides, I know you wouldn’t do it but– E-Even if you do, I won’t blame you for it because there’s gotta be a reason why it would happen… or… I told you to do it… you k-know…”
“Kaley…”
“I-I’m just g-giving an example!”
“Okay, let’s see then…”
“Hmm?”
Before Kaley could blink, I just pushed her away before I made negative thoughts rush through my head. My body jolted as my blood boiled, and I was basked in a familiar feeling when I was about to kill somebody. Everything I was seeing just slowed to the point as if they were completely still, but my hand quickly reached for my blade.
In a fraction of a second, I was in a drawing stance but once it came in at extreme speeds straight for her neck, I forcefully stopped myself at the last second.
My blade was just a millimeter away from lopping Kaley’s head off but before I managed to look at her expression, a burning slap came for my face.
It just came at an insane speed and forcefully stopping my draw made me a vulnerable target. As soon as it made contact, I instantaneously felt the burning sensation but Kaley lost feeling in her legs and she fell down. However, her face was red and she was fucking mad.
“WHAT THE FU– YOU SCARED ME, YOU DOOFUS!”
“Ah–”
“ANYONE WILL BE FUCKING AFRAID OF YOU IF YOU COME AT THEM LIKE THAT! I THINK I ALREADY SAW MY HEAD ROLLING DOWN THIS ROAD! DID YOU EXPECT ME TO LAUGH IT OFF?! IT’S GONNA BE FUNNY LATER BUT I’M NOT LAUGHING NOW!”
“I was just–”
“YOU WERE JUST WHAT?!”
“Did you just pee yourself?”
“Wha– I d-did not! It’s–”
“So, it’s squirt? You just came from–”
“Wha– I–”
“You’re a different kind of horny compared to everyone else, you know that? Tatiana wanted to get fucked even when she’s injured and Cynthia not only gets off when she’s watching other people do it, she also likes it when I’m extra rough. And you… you’re about to get killed and–”
“ARGH! I PEED, OKAY?! I PEED! D’YOU WANT EVERYONE TO HEAR?!”
“It’s just the two of us here and the guy inside the–”
“THAT’S NOT THE POINT! Hngh… I c-cant stand up– Wha– Wait! Wait! Where are you–”
“I’m getting your bag to clean you up. Let’s just use the house across this place.”
“H-How about the–”
“That’ll take a few hours… We got a couple give or take.”
“Then…”
“Then what?”
“What if I need… something m-more?”
“Oh~ that. I’m not gonna give you that. We’re gonna wait till we get home and someplace comfortable compared to an abandoned house in front of a facility where we burn remains of people.”
“B-But!”
“What? You let me yesterday? Hah! That’s a clean hospital at least! Do you want to lay down comfortably or do you want dead people’s ash on your buttcheeks? You’re really a different kind of horny….”
