《Trust Me》Chapter 53
Advertisement
My vision became blurry and I felt the thin sheet of paper trembling in my hands. Kal's runny nose on my hand made my sight a little clearer. The big ball of fur was shuffling around trying to get my attention but also trying to figure out what was wrong. Putting his paw on my thigh he tilted his head as he stuck his tongue out. The sight of him made me slightly chuckle and I gave his head a little rub. Only when my hand touched his rich fur did I realize how cold my hands actually were. I quickly rubbed my hands together, trying to blow hot air to them, but the letter fell from my waist to the floor and Kal was quick to snatch it with his mouth.
"Kal, give it back!" I mouthed at him, trying to chase him as he was running away, but I managed to tackle him, getting on top of the little bear and yanking the letter from his mouth. "Don't do that again!" I warned him as I scrunched up the letter and put it in the back pocket of my trousers and then gave Kal a little apology pat because I felt I was a bit harsh on him.
I heard footsteps coming closer before they reached a stop and a small cough, turning back I see Henry in just a white apron, his legs and torso were bare so I had a suspicion that he was naked underneath. Before I could even say anything Henry raised his hand which was holding a spatula and raised his brow "dinner's ready." And with that Kal jumped up and started running towards the kitchen, tongue out with saliva drooling all over the place. Both me and Henry chuckled at the sight before he came closer to me giving me a hand to get up. I grabbed his hand tightly and pecked his lips as soon as I got up. I felt him smiling as he wrapped his huge arms around my waist, giving me a small spin. "Hope you're hungry" he kissed my nose as he put me down.
"I am, is the table ready?" I nodded rubbing my belly.
"Shit, I forgot the wine." he gasped and quickly headed back to the kitchen, revealing his bare ass. I raised my brow and ran behind him pinching his bubble butt. He got startled and almost jumped up in surprise. "Hey, dessert is after dinner." he looked back at me raising a warning finger before he headed to the fridge, trying to find the wine.
"But sausage is considered dinner." I pouted, wrapping my hands around my middle.
"Not with whipped cream on top." He cocked his eyebrow up as he turned back to me showing me that on one hand, he was holding the red wine, while on the other he had a can of whipped cream.
"Well, I can't argue with that." I smiled naughtily as I snatched the bottle of wine from his hand, and then open the cupboard next to him, grabbing two wine glasses. I heard him close the fridge door behind me and I placed the glasses on the table, next to the plates filled with food. Henry got the bottle from my hands and made me sit down with just his authoritative look and then he poured the wine into the glasses before he took a seat opposite me.
"Fuck!" he hissed as soon as he sat down, trying to take off his apron and put it as a cover on the chair. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at his reaction, something that made Kal tilt his head at me in confusion. "It's not funny, that was cold." Henry was trying to contain his laugh as to sound serious, but that made me laugh even harder. "Oh, you're so gonna regret this later." he bit his lip, trying not to chuckle as he picked up his knife and fork and started eating.

I managed to catch my breath and rested my back on the chair as I grabbed the glass of wine, taking a small sip "Oh, am I?". Henry looked at me with lust in his eyes and just nodded as he chewed the food. I copied his movements and started eating as well. The dinner was quiet and we just kept exchanging lustful gazes, after we were done, I put the dishes in the dishwasher while Henry put some food for Kal. He got the opportunity as I was leaning to get the dishwasher door to slap my ass before he picked me up bridal style, leading me upstairs.
The night was long and it left us both sweating and gasping for air. Henry was too tired so he fell asleep almost instantly but my thoughts, on the other hand, were keeping me wide awake. I was staring at him sleeping so peacefully, his curls were still a bit wet as they fell on his face, I couldn't help but caress his few days old stubble and watching him smile in his sleep every time I touched him. Outside there was a bad thunderstorm and the lightning kept letting up the room, but that didn't seem to bother the man sleeping next to me. I tried to be as quiet as I could as I got up from the bed, trying to find my trousers, fortunately,a lightning stroke,and lit up the room once again, making me find them easily. I got the scrunched letter from my back pocket and then covered my nakedness with one of henry's white tops that was so huge for me. I got a lighter from my bedside table and headed out to the balcony, making sure I closed the window behind me. Despite the heavy wind and thunder, everything else was quiet, only a few street lamps were lit and the smoke from the fireplaces was dispersing in the wind. I took a deep breath, smelling the wet grass, as I unscrunched the letter, giving it one last read.
My mind was racing as to whom could have sent it,
maybe a crazy fan? But how could they know his address? Well,it's not like he's really secretive. Many people could tell from his surroundings in the videos he posts where he is. If it is a crazy fan, did they do for all of his other exes as well? Is that why it never worked out? Will it keep happening or is it just an one-time thing? Should I be scared, if let's say whoever it is keeps their word am I going to get hurt or something?
I don't want to let Henry know, not yet at least, I feel like I'm overthinking it and it probably won't happen again. I look at the letter again and the lighter on my other hand and I slowly put the letter on fire, watching as the ashes get carried away by the wind. After it was fully burned I felt relieved and sighed loudly as I rested my elbows on the railing. I closed my eyes, feeling the cold rain hit my body when I felt two warm hands wrapping around my middle, kissing the back of my neck softly.
"Can't sleep?" Henry murmured, with his face still buried in the nape of my neck.
"Not really." I softly caressed his bulky arms as I got more comfortable in his embrace.
He now turned to look at me with worry in his face, still holding me tight. "Is it nightmares again?"

I turned around to face him, resting my hands on his naked abs as I shook my head in disagreement. "No, I just love this weather." I motioned at the sky.
"Babe, I don't know if you've noticed but we're in the UK, and I'm pretty sure it rains most of the time." He replied sarcastically chuckling.
I playfully punched his biceps "it's not the same dickhead" I chuckled. "It might rain, but it's a drizzle or just some showers. Not thunderstorms like that, where you literally feel the rain hit the windows, when night becomes day from the lightning, or when the walls rumble from the thunders." I turned away from Henry, resting my hands on the railing again, letting out a small sigh. "It's not the same."
Henry's big yet soft hand wandered on mine, holding it gently and making me turn around to face him "let's take advantage of it then."
"What's on your mind Cavill." I cocked my eyebrow at him as my hands rested on his cheeks.
Wrapping his hands around my waist he brought me closer to him so our bodies touched "dance with me." His voice was soft yet raspy.
"There's no music." I joked as I gently bit my lips.
"There's no need." he started humming an unknown melody as he guided the way with small circular steps. I followed his slow rhythm as I buried my face on the crook of his neck never getting enough of his smell of freshly leatherbound books. He was softly caressing my hair as he was humming sweet lullabies in my ear, his sweet baritone voice brought me quickly to sleep.
The next morning I woke up snuggled up next to him, he was on his phone scrolling through Backstage probably trying to find some new roles. He didn't realize I was awake so I bit his nipple so he would realize that I was awake.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed in pain "what was that for?" he rubbed his nipple trying to soothe it as he put his phone down.
"I'm up!" I exclaimed innocently as I lift my arms in the air joyously.
"I can see that." He cocked his brow at me before he climbed on top of me smothering me with kisses and nibbles. His arms wandered around my body staring to tickle me and making sure I stayed put and didn't try to escape.
"Stop it!" I was out of breath from laughing and trying to get him off of me.
"Apologise." he pinned my hands and legs down giving me that authoritative look of his that you couldn't possibly say no to.
"Fine, I'm sorry." I tried to sound serious by burying my chuckle under my breath and his face immediately softened, giving me a soft peck on the nose.
"Goodmorning then." he gave me a smug smile as he got up from the bed and gave me a hand as well. When I got up I saw that Henry had put our wet clothes from last night on the radiator to dry, I moved towards it and grabbed the white top, still feeling its heat, and put it on. I didn't bother putting any trousers on because the top was already long enough that was almost covering my knees, but I did put my black fluffy socks on just to be even more comfortable. Henry rushed downstairs to make some breakfast and as soon as Kal saw the bedroom open he stormed in to greet me, tongue sticking out and almost jumping on me before I told him to stop. As soon as I gave him enough rubs, I moved over to the balcony window and opening the curtains. The air had knocked over some plant pots but thankfully not breaking any, I opened the windows so I could clean up and got greeted with the unusually sunny weather of England, it was still a bit chilly outside but nothing I couldn't handle. The slight breeze was bringing up the smell of still-wet grass as I cleaned up the rest of the dirt and found the lighter from yesterday.
How come Henry didn't notice it?
"Breakfast's ready!" I hear him shouting from downstairs and I quickly got up, putting the lighter back on the bedside table, and then both I and Kal ran downstairs. Henry just put one last dish on the dishwasher before I jumped on him making him give me a piggyback ride. "Someone's hungry" he chuckled as he put his arms under my knees, lifting me further up before he put me down by the kitchen counter. I let out a small hiss as my butt touched the cold surface of the metal kitchen counter but Henry was quick to rub me, making sure I was warm enough. And he instantly brought the plate in front of me, a plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, cherry tomatoes, and some sausage cut up. He didn't put beans on my plate just because he knows I hate beans. I grabbed the plate from him as I sat cross-legged on the counter eating the delicious food he made and taking small sips of the filter coffee.
Henry ate his breakfast quickly because he had a meeting with Amanda, his agent, in half an hour so he had to rush. He had his light blue jeans on with his black and white shirt as he was trying to put on his black sneakers. He quickly checked his phone, giving me a small peck before he left the house.
"Love you and I'll see you later." he shouted closing the door behind him.
Mia decided to text Anya and Freya just to see if they could go out shopping because she knew Anya could never say no to shopping, but she also wanted to find out if they had been getting some hate messages or anything similar. She didn't want to worry them yet, cause after all it was nothing right? That's what she thought at least, but the voices and demons in her mind wouldn't stop telling her that there was something more, and she felt like she knew who was behind it. But her logical mind wouldn't accept the fact. And then her phone rang.
Wow! Do my eyes see correctly? Mia-the-going-out-shopping-is-boring-Hall is asking us to go out to shop? HELL YES!
Is this your subtle way of telling us that you're getting married?!
What? No!
OMG Freya you're so right! She wouldn't ask us if she wasn't. We're becoming bridesmaids !!!
: Guys I'm not getting married, just Henry just gone out and I wanted to spend some time with you.
: You're forgetting we're the actors here, you suck at lying.
: Litlle one's right. See you at Nouvelle in an hour, I know the perfect wedding dress shop!
Mia put her phone down as she shook her head, chuckling on her way upstairs. Kal followed straight behind her. She put her hair red in a messy ponytail and headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Looking at herself in the mirror she realized that she had bags under her eyes from the insufficiency of sleep. After she was done with her teeth she looked under the sink cabinet for her makeup bag, trying to find her concealer. She couldn't find it at first and it was starting to make her distressed so she sat cross-legged on the marble floor trying to find it. Apparently it was at the bottom so she made a big mess trying to find it, but as soon as she did she put on her mouth so she wouldn't lose it, trying to clean up the mess she made, huffing anxiously during that time. When she cleaned everything she got back up and put some concealer under her eyes, blending it softly with her fingers as she couldn't be bothered to look for the brush. She took her hair out of the ponytail and saw that slight waves had formed over her hair last night since she slept with wet hair. She didn't mind because it looked nice, she just quickly brushed it, making sure It wasn't tangled and then moved to the walk-in wardrobe. She picked up her light blue jeans and woolen mustard turtleneck and headed downstairs along with Kal who was watching her every move. She got to the hall and put on her black sneakers along with her black coat and then got Kal's leash. She couldn't leave him alone, especially when she didn't know how long she would take. She messaged Henry to let him know that she was out with the girls in case he got back home before and then both she and the big ball of fur got out of the door.
Getting to Nouvelle she saw Anya with a grey shirt and matching grey trousers along with some black heels, while Freya was wearing a long thigh-high leather shirt accompanied with a brownish belt and open-toed heels. Mia got closer to them looking them up and down "now I feel underdressed." She exclaimed as she looked down at her clothes. Kal was ecstatic to see the two girls and he couldn't stop jumping and trying to lick them. After they gave him all the hugs he wanted Anya quickly got my left hand, inspecting it closely.
"Where's the ring?" She looked at Mia with her eyebrow cocked up.
"I told you there was no marriage going on." Mia had a smug smile but both Anya and Freya seemed disappointed.
"Well, I guess we need to have a talk with Mr. Cavill then." Freya wrapped her hands around her middle while she lifted her brows mischievously at Anya.
"That, we do." Anya gave the fellow blonde a little wink and then they all started roaming the streets aimlessly. The three girls along with their fury guardian went around through most of the shops of central London, even though Mia had to stay outside while the other girls were inside shopping because some shops didn't accept dogs inside, she swore ay herself for forgetting to get his emotional support collar, but at least that gave her more time to think about how she would break the news to them about the letter, or if she would even bring it up at all.
"Ugh, my legs are killing me, why did I agree to this?" Freya exclaimed in pain as she got out of the shop along with Anya and she started rubbing her ankles and heels, and Kal came to her rescue as he understood she was in pain and started licking her on her ankles, where her hands had been seconds ago.
"Suddenly I don't feel so underdressed anymore." the redhead wrapped her arms around her middle giving the two friends a smug smile.
"Well, we thought you were getting married so we wanted to look nice." Freya said with a pout as she scratched Kal behind his ears.
"Well, I never said I was so whose fault was that?" Mia cocked up her brow at the pained blonde before Anya stepped in the way.
"Well, I think what she means to say is that we may have overreacted a little bit. So who wants food? My treat." Anya interlocked her arms between the two girls elbows and led them towards their favorite coffee shop, Nouvelle.
Mia decided to go with some grilled halloumi cheese and vegetables, while Anya chose the smoked salmon and asparagus and Freya got a tuna mixed salad. The store owner seemed to love Kal so he brought him as many leftovers as he could find, and of course, the big furry ball devoured it in seconds. All of the girls were taking their time eating and Freya even took off her heels so she'd rest her feet and Kal occasionally licked her, making her chuckle.
"So Joey texted me the other day, he wants me to go around his studio next week to record some stuff. He thinks I've got this really nice voice. But honestly, I can't see it." Anya spoke with her almost full and Mia and Freya just looked at each other.
"But you do have a nice voice." they both said in unison, not even thinking about it.
"So do you think I should do it?" She was having second thoughts but both of the girls encouraged her to just go and Freya even wanted to go with but the raven-haired turned her down because that would make her even more nervous.
"So how have you guys been taking the criticism from the fans?" Mia decided to break her silence and just ask them the question that has been burning her neck for the whole day.
"Well, obviously many die-hard fans of the games are like this is not my Yennefer. But it doesn't bother me much cause I'm actually really proud of what I've done, and it came out amazing, so I don't have the emotional capacity to deal with people like that. I just prefer to take the good, improve my acting if it needs improving, and that's it." She took a sip from her water before continuing. "I'm not gonna say that when I first got cast and people went furious that it didn't make me feel like shit, but seeing all of my work finally paying off has made all of it worth it and wouldn't change it for anything" Her lips formed a proud smile, as her cheeks reddened.
"To be honest, the most I've had was she's too old to be playing Ciri and why are her eyebrows non-existent? And to be honest, I've been asking myself the same, what was up with that?" the blonde-haired raised her brows chuckling.
"Well, I think what they were trying to do was show how Ciri was really innocent since they couldn't cast a younger actress. And probably they'll want to show how much she's maturing and how she gets tougher over the witcher training. So I think by season two you'll have your normal fierce eyebrows. But that's just all a speculation, so don't come for me." Mia raised her hands in surrender playfully.

Embrace the Blade [Drafts 1&2]
James Ransom grew up unable to do the simplest of life’s tasks. Legs were malformed; he was in a wheel chair as long as he could remember. Suffering from a severe form of muscular exhaustion making him unable to use his hands for long despite his resolve to fight through it. All the challenges facing him he still was able to enjoy reading and video games; but a tragic car accident will change his life forever and perhaps he will be given the opportunity to reincarnate into another world. Special thanks to Mikaelle for the Synopsis. This is my first book/fic so constructive critisism would be very nice. Expect a lot of grammatical errors but hopefully not too many spelling errors. Explanation for the tags; Action/Adventure/Fantasy: These don't really need an explanation, Comedy: I'll try to be funny hopefully I won't fail miserably, Romance: I like romantic sub-plots, LitRPG: No explanation needed but I am using my own system, Reincarnation/Summoned Hero: Not sure which one applies here I'm inclined to think both so I put both, Reader Interactive: I put this one here for my own amusment I'll allow everyone to help create the MC's love interest and maybe a few other things we will also hold a few contests.. Male Lead: self explanitory, Magic: Also easy, Strong Lead: Think of this as more of a weak-to-strong tag the MC will be OP but not till later in the story. Warning: Since this fic is labeled as 'Strategy' I believe that the readers should know as much as possible about the situations presented in the story so they can reach their own conclusions about how a fight could have been won or lost. That means: there are a lot of information dumps early on. I don't know how long I'll be able to write this fic but I promise to keep my few readers informed in case I decide to drop it or something.
