My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

Shopping With Reece

“It’s so nice to be able to get out together without me hav ing to be your babysitter. Just having this girl’s day is cheering me up.” Reece says while grabbing a dress off the clothing rack.

“Oh, come on, Reece. You’re not fooling anyone. We both know what this is, you’re still here to keep an eye on me, but I just like to call it the buddy system. It’s safer with two than it is with one.” | chuckle as I shake my head, no, at the dress she’s holding up.

“I never really thought of it that way, I guess.” She ignores my opinion about the dress and throws it over her arm to go try on.

“I’m okay with it now,” I tell her, “In the beginning I was so annoyed, but after that last note, I’m really creeped out. I’m al ways looking over my shoulder.”

“What did the police say when you took it to them?” Reece picks out another dress, if you want to even call it that, and throws it over her arm as well.

“Pfft, they said they would put it in my file, but my dad says that nothing will be done about it.”

She stops searching through the rack and looks at me, “So, you’re supposed to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life?”

I shrug, “My dad hired a Private Investigator. He’s deter mined to find whoever is scaring his baby girl.” | smirk at my friend.

“Way to go Mr. Baxter! He’s hot, he’s got brains, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes! I’m so fucking jealous of your mom right now!”

“Yuck, Reece! That’s my dad!”

“What? Older men can still be eye candy!”

“Not my dad, gross!” | gag.

“Just think, Ella; when you and Jace have kids, they are go ing to say the same about the two of you!” Reece shakes her head and chuckles, “Then, Aunt Reece will have to tell them the story of how their mom thought the same way about grandma and grandpa.”

“Are you wanting to traumatize my future children?” I can’t stop laughing at this point and patrons are beginning to stare, “That’s it, I am banning you from ever being alone with my fu ture kids!”

“Like that will stop me from telling them things. It will be

a bit of an exaggeration,

Why do you think he’s laid off on the flirting? He’s disappointed that he can’t hate Jace,” she snickers, “because he can see that Jace is totally in love

believe it or not, Gabe even calls Jace for his opinion on things and if he needs help with something. I haven’t brought Jace to a game night yet because I don’t know if Deke can keep a filter on, knowing what he does about mine and Jace’s relationship. Jace knows about what Deke had said to me that night, and even though he isn’t happy

I turn and grab for the first top that I have hang ing there, but my hand misses it completely when I’m shoved against the wall with a hand over my mouth. A body presses into me, so I can’t move. At first, I think it’s Jace messing with me, but then the person whispers into my ear, and
