Lost in Your Depths Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

The apartment felt empty when I was left on my own. Fortunately for me, work kept me distracted for most of the day. When I was making dinner, Hunter called and we talked

How scurried should I be about this Steel man?I asked him

He isn’t dangerous or anything. But he has the reputation of being ruthless. He only cares about winning, which is a good quality in a defence attorney, I guess,” Hunter told me. But he will not back down. He goes for the throat and will dig up every piece of it on a witness, discrediting them will get his client off 

In other words, if I get called as a witness I can expect to have all my dirty laundry aired in public,I summarised

Yes. I’m sorry. I know it’s not what you wanted to hear and I wish I could do something about it,he confirmed

It’s okay. You warned me that this might happen. If things get really had, should we think about you distancing yourself from me?I asked. I understood if that were the case, I just needed to prepare myself for it 

No! Why would you think that?” 

Your company is built on you and Jason being good people who take care of others. If this Steel fellow manages to make me look like a truly unsavoury person, it could affect your business being associated with me, I told hims 

Fuck that. If that makes us lose customers, then those are customers we don’t want. Jason would fucking kill me and place me in a shallow grave if I even considered doing something like that, I know who you are, sweetness. No one will ever convince me that you are anyone else but the amazing woman that doesn’t have an evil bone in her body,he told me. It calmed me down and we continued to talk on the phone for the rest of the evening until we both felt the need to go to bed. As I got ready I smiled knowing Hunter would soon find the postit I had left for him. I got in my bed and moved around until I found a comfortable spot. As I relaxed and waited for sleep, I had the feeling like I had forgotten something. The feeling didn’t go away. I got up and took a lap around the apartment. The door was locked, the alarm was set, the oven and stove turned off, nothing else seemed to be off. I shook my head and went back to bed again. I tried to find my comfortable sport again, and that’s when it hit me. I was missing Hunter. I was so used to being curled up next to him that the empty space in the bed felt overwhelming. I got one of my decorative pillows and hugged it. It wasn’t the same, but the bed felt less empty 

Each day it was a little easier to ignore the feeling of something missing. It helped that Hunter and I talked over the phone everyday. Often for hours. It was a good way to lessen the loneliness. When Friday came, I was excited and nervous all mised into one. Why I was nervous I didn’t know, but it almost felt like it had happened on our first date. The day went past at snail’s pace. When I finally could log off work I almost sprinted into my bedroom to freshen up. I knew it was a little ridiculous. Hunter and I had been living together for weeks, he had seen me in my cosy clothes more times than I could count. But I wanted to look good for him tonight. My phone dinged and I hurried to read the message

H: Come down stairs, sweetness. I’m going to take you out on a shopping spree

I looked at the message and wondered what had gotten into him. But I didn’t care. I took my purse and my keys and headed out. Hunter stood waiting in the lobby. He smiled as he saw me and drew me into a long, deep, kiss

I have been craving that for days,he told me

I missed you too,I said. He took my hand and we walked toward his car. What exactly is it we are going to do?I asked

I am taking you shopping,he said

I got that much from your text. But why?

Because I promised you I would,he told me. This just made me even more confused. I couldn’t remember that he had promised me to go shopping. But it was impossible to get him to say anything more. He just told me to wait and see. I gave up. I was sitting next to Hunter and he had his hand on my leg and I took it in mine. Here we are,he announced and parked in front of a giant store. I looked up at it and realised it was a pet store

“A pet store?” 

I promised you a cat. The rescue has an open house tomorrow. I have already submitted a general application in your name, so I’m thinking we should go and have a look. And if you are going to get a cat, you need things for the cat. I haven’t got you a housewarming gift yet, so this is it. I can’t think of a thing that makes a house warmer than a pet,he told me. I felt myself tear up, and I drew him into a tight hug

Thank you,I told him. And I meant it from the bartem of my soul. Thank you,I said again and placed a kiss on his cheek. Thank you.I placed another kiss on his other cheek and repeated the process until I knew I had covered all of his face in kisses. He chuckled and kissed me on the mouth

We haven’t started yet. Let’s head inside and see what you need and want, I want you to not think about the price or about getting too may things. This is for the cat so you are allowed to go crazy,he told me. I nodded enthusiastically and got out of the car

Chapter 90 

Can we get a cat tree?I asked as Hunter got a shopping cart

We can get five if you want 

No, I think I will settle for one. Maybe two, it would be nice if the cat had a place to stay in my office,I thought out loud

Sounds like a good idea,he agreed. We spent a long time in the shop. We looked at all different kinds of toys and since we didn’t know what the c cat would like, we bought some of each kind. There were wands and balls and furry mice and laser pointers and automatic toys and plastic things that looked like a hollowed out doughnut with a ball inside and tunnels for playing in. Then there were the different beds. Should it have a roof or not? Should it be furry? We ended up picking out a number of beds as well. I would have at least one bed per room and two that I could bring to Hunter’s place. Hunter was almost as excited as I was and insisted we buy things that he could have at his place as well. We bought a good, sturdy transport case for the cat. And we looked at trees for almost an hour before deciding on two for my apartment and one for Hunters. Then there was the food. We agreed that it would be best to wait so we knew what the cat would be used to eating. But we did buy treats and food bowls and water fountains for both apartments. Hunter even insisted we get the automatic litter box for both places. The cart was overflowing once we were done and had paid

Thank you Hunter. This was more than generous. Are you sure I can’t give you some money?I asked for the first time as we packed everything into his car

Not going to happen, sweetness. This is my housewarming gift, remember?After we got to my place and we carried everything up to the apartment, we collapsed on my couch

I never knew it was so much work buying pet supplies,I told him as I leaned against him. He chuckled

Neither did L. But I think we have got everything you need.” 

And then some,I added. It felt nice to be close to Hunter again. I hadn’t realised how much I had missed his scent. The spicy mix made me relax and it felt soothing 

If I help you set everything up, will you agree to let us order dinner?he asked. I smiled

I am willing to order dinner. I don’t see myself cooking tonight,I agreed. I insisted on paying for dinner and made the order to the now familiar Mexican restaurant around the corner while Hunter began unpacking things. As the food was delivered, we talked about which thing should go where and after dinner, we got started with assembling the cat trees. The two floor to ceiling structures were almost as taxing to put together as my office furniture had been. But this time we were enjoying spending time together. So instead of frustration, we broke into hysterical laughter every now and then as we needed to redo parts. When the trees were up and everything else had been put in its place, we went back to the couch

I like it. It feels more homey now. Thank you for the best housewarming gift ever,” I told Hunter and gave him a kiss

I agree, it adds a nice feeling,he said, and drew me in closer. Neither of us talked about how right it felt to be in the same apartment again. We both felt it, but neither of us wanted to talk about it. Things were the way they were for a reason. There was no use talking about it. We came to the silent understanding that we would just enjoy our time together
