Chapter 159: They Had Been Kind To Me

Replying back to Riccardo's message, I suggested a time in a few hours and asked a place we could speak in private. My phone vibrated in my hand just second after I had hit send. We can meet at one of our places or in the meeting room at Pleasure Palace. It is entirely up to

Deciding that going to one of their homes would be too private, I agreed to meet at the club.

"So?" Andy asked.

"I am meeting them tonight." I said and he picked up on my lack of enthusiasm and reached out to squeeze my hand.

"Are you sure you want to go back to your apartment today?" His brows knotted in apparent

worry.

"We could have a movie night after you have met up with them and I will get lots of ice cream and a bottle of red. What do you say?" Shaking my head, I smile at him sincerely. Albeit stiffly, I didn't feel like smiling.

"I appreciate it but I will be fine. I think it will be good for me to be alone and sort out my head."

"Okay, but promise to call me if you need me."

"I will," I agreed.

like I was something precious. I began looking forward to each day with them because they made every day exciting. And I realized just a little too late, like the dumb fool I was, that they didn't just take care of me, they cared for me. Those little tells that should have tipped me off but I had been too blind to see in my hurt. The way Kingston shared his kitchen with me when I suspected few- if any-had the pleasure of saying the same. The way Marshall truly listened to me and remembered what I said. I had made me feel heard. The way Riccardo showed me his vulnerable side by opening up about his childhood, it had been a difficult topic for him to talk about. However, he had still done it just so I could get to know him better. My eyes burned as I forced my gaze from the ceiling, this wasn't time for regret. Checking the the clock, I I saw that it it was too early yet to get ready. I should have probably started on the assignment from school and read through the notes u had gotten from my classmates but I wasn't feeling it. I could hardly concentrate as it was, how could I possibly focus on economics? My studies were something I usually excelled at, I was a good student, submitted any work before the deadline and was attentive in my classes. I love my major and worked hard to get good grades and now, here I was with days of classes missed when I hardly used to miss any and with a mind too focused on everything else around me to manage to have even a tiny bit of motivation for school. I moved to sit down on my bed, staring blankly ahead of me and heaved a sigh. I had spent days feeling shitty and now, I had to feel scared too? I couldn't quite comprehend how so much had changed in a few moments, it was surreal and I wasn't sure if I had fully realized how messy my situation actually was. My brain couldn't grasp the sudden shift of it all. The time went by as I simply sat there, probably still in shock. I was jarred away from my gloomy thoughts when my phone rang. My heart stopped as I reached for it afraid
