Chapter 280: Loved until the end (3)
Annalise could clearly see Rafael’s disappointment in her not saying what she really wanted to say. Time and time again, she continued to make him wait, and he did not state how made him feel. He didn’t argue that she should be more open to speaking with him.
They slept together, yet she could not open her mouth to tell him who she was. She had never been so afraid of what was on her mind before. She wished he knew that. It was so hard to possibly witness someone you cared for looking at you differently when they learned something shocking about you.
"We’re going to have the person outside thinking we are doing something bad," Annalise said, continuing to smile as she pushed his hair out of his face. "Tell me what you need to be packed, and I will get everything for you. Please let it be your swords and armour."
"If I tell you to pack my swords and armour, you will just play around with it and not get much done," Rafael said, standing up from the floor.
"Guilty," Annalise honestly answered. "Are you certain you don’t want to give me one of your old armour? My friends might not believe that I was around the well-known commander. Your armour is darker than everyone else, so they might know it is yours."
Rafael had a better idea in mind. "Why not invite me to see where you grew up and they will have no reason to doubt you or were you just trying to scam me out of armour."
Annalise frowned, annoyed that her plan failed. "You’re no fun."
"Scamming it was. I will give you your own armour, Annalise. I treasure all of my armour even if it cannot be used anymore. Each tells a story," Rafael said as he walked to the door. "You can put together some clothes."
"Again, you are not fun," Annalise muttered.
