My Heart Was Wounded Deep
Chapter 52's

Rey's mother came closer to the pool. "I tried to call you" said his mother.

Her mother's haughty tone of voice offended Rey, as if she should be able to be contacted by her mother Continue for twenty-four hours a day, 7 days a week. "My phone's inside, at the table."

" What are you doing swimming in clothes?" his mother looked at Rey more closely.

Rey imagines Kikan slowly submerging himself under water that looks like ink, or at least under the edge of the pool, avoiding being seen. "Jason dumped me a few minutes ago, right before Tristan stopped by to pick him up."

" He's gone?"

"Yes, they're going to Ambar's. Tristan wants to take her to a farewell party and needs a matchmaker."

" Whose amber?"

Fortunately Rey managed to shift her mind to other things. "Davin's son, maybe I don't know the family.What's up?" ask Rey to repeat.

" I'm new to Logan's parents' house"

Trying to resist the urge to catch a glimpse at Kikan. It's just going to get Kikan away, and if it's done by Rey, Kikan's going straight home. Although he doubts Kikan will allow him to touch her again, especially where he touched her before, Rey is not ready to end the night. They were having fun, much more fun than he had felt for months. Besides, they'll still be watching the movie.

" And?" ask Rey.

" Logan wants to talk to you. He asked us all to come together, who knows we can find a solution."

" There's nothing to deal with" Rey said. "As long as he leaves Kikan alone, everything will be fine."

"He killed Lori, Rey. It's not that simple."

Rey doesn't like to discuss this in front of Kikan. He no longer believed that Kikan was capable of such a thing, but he did not know what kind of rude comments his mother might say. The quickest way for his mother to leave was to agree to a meeting with Logan's family. "When?"

"Monday at 19:00? "

"Where?" ask Rey.

"the Logan family, wants to be home. His mother said he'd cook dinner."

"I'm not going to take Jason." Rey said.

"Why not?" ask mother.

"Because I don't want him to hear what's going to be discussed."

"Maybe he should hear it. He needs to be prepared if he's planning any relationship with his mother."

Finally, after feeling safe to let her mother see the rest of her body, Rey lifted herself out of the pool. "He's ready enough."

"Rey, whoever's involved with Kikan needs his head checked."

Rey hardens her jaw. "It's cold out here. Let's go in." Rey takes her mother to the house, where her mother finds a salad Kikan has brought for dinner.

" It looks good. You made that?" asked his mother, grazing the rolled vegetables and putting them in his mouth.

" Yes, I made it" Rey said.

" Mom can find anything on the internet."

Helen pointed to the three dishes they had brought to the sink. "Who did you and Jason invite?"

" Tristan was here, remember?" answer Rey.

His mother looked at Rey suspiciously. "You said he just stopped by."

" For dinner. Was wrong?"

"No. Of course not." said his mother

" By the way, I need to clean up and sleep. I'll come to the meeting the Logan family held for Monday's dinner. Is there something mom wants me to bring? Maybe a little meal?"

"I don't think it's necessary" said her mother, and Rey escorted her mother to the door.

"Thank you for stopping by." Rey.

Ma Helen looked at me with a funny look. "You're mad at me."

"I'm frustrated with all the affairs related to Kikan."

"We know inevitably have to face this one day, it's a pity that he has made the situation difficult for us."

Rey could not react to hearing her mother's words. He wanted to get her out of the house immediately, and that's what he did. Rey withholds the remark, agreeing with her mother that it would be easier if Kikan lived elsewhere and eventually her mother left. But when Rey returns to the backyard, Kikan has already disappeared.

.

" What have I done? What have I done?" Kikan muttered to himself while walking home, soaking wet and trembling due to the falling air temperature along with the coming night. He shouldn't have let Rey touch him anywhere. He was just... carried away the atmosphere and long-serving feeling. She is a healthy woman at the height of sexual desire. Of course he craves men. Not that he wants any more. Kikan's been broken charcoal with that guy. For seventeen years he tried to take Rey off. There was no way he would let himself fall back into the same dark hole, which he painstakingly climbed to get out. He swore and avoided it.

Car lights appear behind him, Kikan also tried to hide himself among the hoard of plants that grow on the side of the road. He doesn't know what car Helen's mother has been driving lately, but Brio's passing car seems to be a good candidate.

The main hope is that Rey's mother doesn't see her leaving the man's house.

But Kikan was glad that Miss Helen had come. Who could have foreseen what might have happened if the woman had not shown up and made her rediscover common sense? It could be that he'll end up in Rey's bed.

When he returned to the street, Kikan hugged his body. He was cold, but where Rey touched him just now he felt like he was burning, as if the heat of the man's hand did not want to disappear either.

" Forget it!" Hard on himself, very embarrassed to remember how he had held Rey's wrist and pushed her to continue what she was doing.

Now Rey won't believe that Kikan's meeting isn't about rekindling their old love, so what's the impact of those few minutes with his chance to get to know Jason better?

Her tears were hot when Kikan imagined Rey mocking her weakness. Did that guy test it? trying to figure out his true intentions, which Rey might think, to re-establish a relationship with him?

What if Rey forbids him from meeting Jason?

" Please don't let that happen" Kikan prayed. "I'll stay away from him. I'm not gonna do that anymore."

Another pair of car lights appeared behind him, and Kikan stepped back into the bushes by the side of the road. He is not too far from Rey's house and does not want anyone to recognize him, especially since he is not sure how to explain his soaked body and smell of chlorine.

But this car does not continue to pass.This car actually swallowed and stopped not far in front of him.
