Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 815

Chapter 815: 815-Unrecognisable

Helanie:

However, instead of walking, he decided to sit me down in the passenger seat of the car. "Um, okay, what are you doing?" I asked. I did not know they were planning something so elaborate that we would need a car ride for it. He rushed over to the driver’s side and sat down, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"They did not ask me to collect you. While they are preparing whatever they are doing, I decided to spend some time with you. Please tell me you have little time for me," he said, pouting, and I started to smile. I did not realize he desperately wanted to spend time with me. I mean, it was nice. I should have known. Considering he came all the way from home to the Athendel.

"Of course, I have all the time for you, Kaye. You don’t have to ask. I just wanted to know what was going on. Anyway, how are you?" I asked softly, smiling at him.

He looked so comfortable just staring at me. In fact, he was staring a little too hard.

I could tell the weather was going to get bad. I just hoped and prayed it wouldn’t get so bad that by the time Norman was done, all his preparations would be wasted. That would be awful.

"I wasn’t fine. I’ve been missing you so much," Kaye mumbled softly.

I gave him a weak smile and nodded in understanding. "I’ve missed you too," I said, watching him smile.

"So, how is everyone back home? I hope Emmet and Maximus are doing well too. How’s the academy? Is everything going okay there?" I kept asking about random things because I was too shy under his constant stare.

"They’re fine, and they’re taking care of everything. Now can we talk about us?" Kaye insisted.

I laughed shyly. "Sure, what do you want to know about me?" I mumbled, blinking rapidly.

"Did you miss me?" he asked the same thing I’d already answered. But I guessed he just wanted to start flirting, so I nodded and placed a hand over my chest.

"Of course I did," I replied.

"Did you think about me? Did you imagine Kaye coming back, looking at you and saying, ’Wow, Helanie, you’re so beautiful’?" he asked.

I frowned. What kind of flirting was that? He wasn’t usually this bad at it, so what was going on? Was he just anxious?

"Yeah, I knew you’d come and call me Helanie. What else would you call me?" I laughed, and he slapped his forehead.

"It’s okay. You don’t have to try. I like you the way you are," I murmured, trying to give him some peace of mind and a little relief from feeling like he had to compete with the others.

Kaye had his own natural way of flirting. But today, he just seemed off. Maybe it was the long flight.

"This is what I like about you. You make me feel so comfortable," he said. But his tone was off, as if he were forcing the words out.

I wanted to tell him to rest, but I worried he’d take it the wrong way. He could sit in silence and I’d still feel so much for him. But Kaye was sensitive, so I didn’t want to risk saying something he might misunderstand.

I started noticing something on the dashboard.

"What are these?" I asked, and he grabbed them.
