He snuck out on me this morning, which meant he either regretted last night or he didn’t know how to process it. I feared the former, hoped for the latter. He whispered sweet and dirty things against my skin all night. His playfulness surprised me. The roughintensity made me shiver. I loved every side he showed me and couldn’t wait to learn more. I would not let him run away from me.No way.We would figure it out or die trying.
I dug through my bags from yesterday and found the little white box with the red bow around it. I read the little red hanging tag.
To: Caden
From: Amari
I had bought it for him a long time ago when I was in London over the summer. Before my birthday and before we stopped talking, I had bought it for his birthday in September, but it didn’t seem appropriate considering I couldn’t look at him without thinking of him and Jessica.
I shuddered.
The lying bitch.
I tucked the box in my jacket pocket. I grabbed my phone off the charger and put it in my shirt pocket. Zipped up, I donned my hat and gloves and headed out the door to get answers.
Caden owed me at least that much.
