Chapter 28- A voice like him

Athena

Later that evening,

I keep my eyes closed, my breathing slow and even, pretending to be asleep.

I hear my bedroom door open slightly before clicking shut.

A few seconds later, I hear the soft click of the main door locking.

I wait.

Then another click..

The door closes.

He's gone.

I sit up immediately, my heart pounding from the rush of victory.

Sleep in, my ass!

I practically launch myself out

of the bed and rush into my bathroom, kicking off my shoes as I rush to the

shower.

Stripping off my exam-

color.

sees my drunk face on tomorrow's gossip news.

I step back, admiring my curves in the mirror. If I'm going to break Alex's stupid

rules, I'm doing it in style.

Satisfied, I grab my purse and head toward the door. But the second I step into the living room, I freeze.
