Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

177-Planning Fun Time With Akin

Beatrice’s POV:

I heard him gently knocking on my door the whole night in intervals after he finally got the hint and left

for his room. He messaged me a bunch of angry stuff and even called me many times, but neither did I

open the door for him nor did I respond to him on his phone.

I knew he would be angry with me, but I had an excuse prepared for that. Last night was a bit difficult

for me. Maddox had texted me many times, so I decided to meet him in the morning. And while doing

so, I didn't want to spend the night with Flynn.

It was not easy for me to shut out the memory of how he fucked me the other night, making it seem like

I had a choice. I was angry at Flynn, but the only reason I hadn't cried was because I wanted him to

help Colt.

I woke up with a massive headache. A warm shower really helped my aching muscles. After donning a

brown long-sleeved, belted shirt and black tights, I was ready to be at school.

The instant I was in the kitchen; I saw Flynn with his mother. They were whispering about something

and stopped when they saw me.

"Good morning," I greeted without putting much thoughts into it and sat down to eat the freshly made

pancakes. Lady Varisha attended a call and excused us. Now that it was only the two of us in the

kitchen, I found Flynn hunching over the island from the other side and spreading his hands apart while

staring at my face from his eyebrows.

"Why didn't you answer my calls last night? I came to your door, and you didn't open it either. What do

you think you are doing, Beatrice?" He asked, blinking hard to display how angry he was.

"I wasn't feeling well last night," I whispered, stealing my eyes from him.

"Really? What happened to you?" The carelessness in his voice and the constant, fixated glare were

making me uncomfortable.

"I didn't remember to take my pills. Even after I took my pills, I was still in pain. I wanted to text you

back, but I knew you would get worried, so I chose to ignore you." In a dramatic and sad tone, I said.

"Hm! Okay,* he shrugged his shoulders, "There is always a night we can enjoy. I will land in your room

tonight," he stated in a threatening voice, almost.

"Good morning!’ Akin's arrival was like a fresh air of breath. He entered the kitchen and passed a brief

glance at Flynn until he made him move to the side.

"How is school going, Beatrice?" Akin asked me, eyeing Flynn to get away from me. He was taking part

in the conversation so that Flynn could walk away and leave me alone. Flynn did just that. He indeed

stepped away when Akin took over.

"Is he bothering you somehow?" Akin asked me, moving his eyes in the direction of the door.

"He annoys me, that's true." I tried to finish the conversation. The wedding was in two weeks, and Colt

would get executed on the wedding day. I didn't have much time to waste on complaining about Flynn's

behavior to anyone, so I drove him away from me.

"I will see what I can do about that as well," Akin said, but before turning away, he paused and looked

my way again.

"Have you spoken to Helel? He woke up early morning and left, telling me he will be busy in the

library," he informed and my mind instantly recalled that girl Jessie.

"He said he was helping you with some assignments." Akin asked another question, trying to see if our

excuses align.

"Yeah, he is helping me a lot." I didn't want to expose Helel for lying, but he was not helping me with

anything. I guess he liked what Jessie was doing in the library. It sucked to see him fall for it so quickly,

but then again, I had no right to be mad at him for wanting to live his life the way he wants.

"You can ask me for help when it comes to study though," Akin's voice held a hint of complaint, "I have

not heard you talk to me after that night. It's been months since everything, and where you have gotten

more comfortable with the others, you don't even seem easy around me anymore," he said, talking and

preparing coffee to avoid making eye contact with me.

It surprised me because I never thought he gave a damn what I thought about him. The fact that he

was not even wrong was what made me feel guilty. I have kept my distance from him after that night

when they yelled at me for Gwen.

"It is not like that. It is just that so much is going on that I am unable to focus on anything." I didn't have

a better excuse to give him. He is a nice guy, someone who I respect a lot.

"Maybe we can plan something together? Like a book reading or--a carnival?" He went from zero to

one hundred really quickly.

"We hold spring carnivals everywhere. I might need your creative ideas to make this carnival amazing

this year," he smiled sweetly, making my heart warm with the way he wanted to include me in this

project.

"That is a good idea. I would love to be a part of it," I agreed with him, but it didn't take him long to get

distracted when his phone rang and he had to excuse himself.

"Yeah?" Akin mumbled, "What?" The way he gasped and expressed shock made my skin feel like it

had goosebumps. Something terrible must have happened for him to look so devastated.

"But how did it happen? Where were the guards?" Akin asked furiously, "Keep looking around and

make sure you contact me the instant you find him," he aggressively warned the caller and hung up on

him. He was nervously rubbing his face in his hand until he looked my way and stopped moving for a

minute.

"What happened?" I asked, gulping in fright.

"Colt escaped!" he mumbled, watching my face for a reaction since he knew my reaction would be

different from others.
