Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Gracie’s POV:

Kai and I decided to sneaked out of the room as the family fussed over the wedding. We chuckled at being able to sneak away without them even noticing. As we made our way to the elevators, Kai had a humorous yet apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry about all of this. I know they can be a little overwhelming.”

I smiled brightly; to be honest, I was happy they were excited. It made me feel like I was truly apart of the family.

“It’s okay. I’m glad they are so happy. Plus, I don’t know much about weddings so I’m glad I’ll have help.” Kai looked at me with an expression I wasn’t familiar with. Smiling warmly, he grabbed my hand gently. “As long as you’re happy. I want this to be the greatest day of your life. You deserve it.”

I blushed slightly as my eyes averted from his; if I stared at his gaze any longer, I wasn’t sure what I might do next. Wanting to change the subject I inquired about what he had planned.

“So, where exactly are we going?”

“Do you like ice cream?”

“I love ice cream!”

“Good. There’s an ice cream shop not too far from the hospital, I thought we’d have some.”

My eyes widen with excitement; I absolutely loved ice cream! It had been awhile since I’d last enjoyed some. As we made our way to the exit, I could see Cameron standing in the waiting area.

Kai walked over to Cameron shaking his hand. Cameron had a bright smile on his face.

“It’s so good to see you sir.”

Cameron shook Kai’s hand with a warm gaze. I could tell he was happy to see Kai had finally waken up even with him playing it cool.

“It’s good to see you too Cam. I’m sorry I worried you.”

“Think nothing of it sir. Ms. Teagues, pleasure to see you.”

“You as well Cameron. Thank you for coming to get us on such short notice.”

Chapter 151

“My pleasure ma’am.”

Cameron dropped us off at a parlor called “Cream of life“. As we walked into the parlor, Kai held my hand while we made our way to the front.

“They have every type of flavored ice cream you could imagine here; and in every style.”

Kai whispered to me as he pointed to the menu. As I looked over the menu, a memory of a time my mother and I went to get ice cream flashed in my memory. We’d gone shopping and on the way home, she decided to stop at an ice cream shop and ordered us soft–served vanilla cones with rainbow sprinkles. I could still see the smile on her face as we laughed and ate our cones together. That was one of best days she and I had. As we made our way to the front, I could feel my eyes swell. Not wanting Kai to notice, I quickly wiped my eyes. I didn’t want him to think I was unhappy; it was quite to the contrary, this day gave me that same feeling of happiness.

“Figure out what you want?”

“I did.”

I smiled brightly at Kai as we made our way to the counter. A young woman with a bright smile greeted us.

“Welcome to Cream of your life, my name is Bri-”

Suddenly, the clerk paused as her eyes began to widen.

“OMG!!! Your….Your…..Your Kai Christiansen!!!”

The entire parlor was quiet as the customers and workers all turned towards us. Suddenly, a customer chimed in.

“Oh wow!!! It is him!”

“What! I thought he was in a coma??”

“He must’ve waken up!”

“Wait…who’s that girl with him???”

Suddenly, everyone began to make their way over to us with excitement and curiosity in their eyes. I knew the Christensen family was famous, but I hadn’t expected this.

Just as I was about to panic, Kai held his hand up indicating for the crowd to quiet down.

“Everyone, please. I appreciate that you all are happy about my recovery…I truly appreciate the well wishes. But…I’m going to ask that you all please keep this amongst yourselves.”
