Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Tokyo's POV

"Nope. No matter how long you two show your bunny teeth in front of me, I won't give in." I cringed as I heard Demo 's response, tapping his feet on the ground, his arms crossed over his chest while he eyed us both in a very suspicious manner.

My eyes went wide as I frantically pull Grey by his sleeves, wishing he would do something.

When Demo saw us earlier, Grey was so quick to pull him away, especially since Zanaya was so angry because little mochi got startled by the loud noise made by the deafening sound of the shattering of the glass.

And we all know how Zanaya had been these past few days.

And so we fled, like some coward earthlings, though we're still a little thankful that because of it, we won't have to explain to Zanaya why Demo acted that way.

"Demo, just this once, please. Keep this a secret from everybody," Grey once again pleaded and I'm not sure if it is because he was basically like a little brother to Demo, but his eyes softened at the sight of his younger member pleading before him.

A long sigh escaped his lips, his eyes moistening a little while his hands dropped to either of his sides.

"Since when? When did this all happen?" he asked and my glance dropped to the floor before us. I was standing beside Grey, the three of us standing along the wooden pathway on the lake dock.

My hands started playing on the hem of my shirt, my heart beating so rapidly. The fact that Demo caught the two of us about to kiss scared the heck out of my system.

What would he think of us?

Truthfully, I am also scared of how our members will accept our relationship. Like, I think I may have declared before that I won't ever like SHADOW's youngest member.

Neither of us spoke and I am sure we're hanging on a thin thread that is Demo's patience but as much as possible, I don't want to share what we have.

But then we have no choice now, do we?

"Ahm, around six months ago?" Grey muttered, his voice strained a little, testing the waters, how Demo would react.

As expected, his eyes widened, his hands covering his mouth along the process.

"Six-" he exclaimed as if the news of us dating is a big shocker. "Six months and nobody knew about it? Are you kidding me?!"

By this time, he was so frantic and for once, even I understood where he was coming from.

"You were always bickering, were you two acting all along?" he mumbled, more to himself.

"That one wasn't acting. He really does annoy me sometimes," I offered to explain which earned a scowl from my boyfriend.

"Anyway, that's not what's important right now. Please keep this a secret first and let us tell them ourselves, okay?" Grey pleaded and Demo raised an eyebrow at the both of us.

"Well, I am okay with that, but what I am so curious about is how the two of you manage to hide this for six fucking months," he asked, a little baffled with the situation and I'm not blaming him. or was he actually alarmed? He seemed to be in deep thought.

To my surprise, Grey scooted a little too close to where I was standing until his hands snaked around my waist, my breath hitching along the process.

Demo 's eyebrow raised even more and as much as I enjoy the close proximity with Grey, the awkward stare Demo is giving us made me question if what Grey is doing is actually right at this moment.

"Grey, not now,” I mumbled, hoping he would catch on the current situation. To my dismay, Grey did not release me from his arms and even pulled me closer, so my back is pressed on his broad chest.

And oh boy, it was so hard.

"Demo, WHISTLE stayed here in Australia, of course you wouldn't notice," he answered and Demo scoffed at Grey's words.

"Rude," Demo snorted. "But I still think it's not right for the two of you to keep this," he added and as much as I hate to admit it, he has a point.

"Sorry, it was my fault. It was my idea." I told him and for once, his eyes softened at the sight of me. "I asked him to keep it a secret."

Whether Demo was confused or taken aback, he made sure to keep his face blank.

"May I know why?" my eyes widened at the sudden question.

I gulped.

What now Tokyo?

Should I tell him that what I truly feel?

Should I tell him that even though Grey assured me how much he loves me, there's still that small part of me screaming for me to hold back?

And this isn't just about that, it's more about myself, the problems that I keep getting involved with especially within my family. And the fact that Grey isn't even aware of the trouble that I am currently into, and he unknowingly involved as well. I bite my lower lip in guilt.

"Tokyo, is there something wrong?" Grey whispered and I did not respond. Demo raises his eyebrows, probably wondering why I was hesitating. After a while, I felt Grey arms stiffen and I bite my lower lip, my hands landing on Grey's hands.

Grey never once questioned my decision about keeping us a secret. That's why Demo asking why made me stop and think about it.

Is being together the best decision after all? I mean, all the shits that I am involved with, Grey doesn't deserve to be a part of my complicated life.

If you think about it, I haven't been truthful with him. Ever since the news about me and Alex, I never once told Grey about it and right now, I know I am being unfair.

He will surely hate me. I told to myself.

When I thought Grey was big muscle twat from two years ago, all he did was prove me wrong, that there is always something that meets the eye.

Sometimes, you can't judge someone easily. What the eyes can see isn't always right. Sometimes, behind every action is a reason that one may disagree but gives a whole lot of different meaning to the situation.

"Nothing," I whispered. "It's just that we've had enough drama in our team and I don't actually like the fact that you guys might be concern about me and Grey once you found out." I added.

"Well Tokyo, actually, I think it is more concerning that we didn't know. You and Grey and the youngest members of the group and I'm sure the older members and everyone wouldn't exactly be smiling if they ever found out that they've been lied for six months. Remember when we found out about Seth and Zaya's secret marriage?" he questioned and my heart dropped on the floor.

He has every right to question my decision. I understand that he's just concerned with our well-being.

"Yes. Sorry. I will fix this. Just-" I puffed an air from my mouth. "Just let Grey and I tell them. We just need a little time," I told him and an understanding smile was showing all over his face.

I felt Grey relaxed, before pulling me tighter, his face resting at the crook of my neck.

"Eww," Demo gagged and Grey chuckled. "Just because I know you two are dating doesn't mean that it's okay to act all that when it's just the three of us. I've had enough of Seth's dirty deeds, I don't want to see another couple acting all sweet in front of me," he frowns and I chuckle.

Just then I remember that time Zanaya and I saw him with Mara.

"Well you have a girlfriend, and I-" before I can even finish, Grey covered my lips in instant and my eyes went wide when Demo 's face turned serious.

"Ahm, we'll go." Grey muttered, pulling me away from the other.

Once we're a few meters away from him, Grey turned my body towards him.

"Don't ever mention her to again." he whispered and I pouted.

"Why?" I asked confused.

Grey shake his head as if the answer should be obvious. And then my eyes widen as the realization hit me.

"They didn't!" I exclaimed covering my mouth but Grey nodded.

"Why?" I whispered. They look good together. Even though a lot of misunderstanding happened before, I still ship the two.

"Mara...." Grey whispered. "She feel out of love."

My heart clenched at his words.

The two of us...

We won't end up like them right?
