Chapter Two: Red silk and bittersweet feelings

I walked down the hallway towards my bedroom. Holding my phone in my hand as I looked down at the screen. Worrying my lower lip with my teeth. How was going to tell my boss that I needed time off?

Charity had told me what he was and I was worried that it would make me act weird around him. That he would know that I knew what he was. Sure, he was hot and I would be lying if I said that I had never thought about sleeping with him.

over to the white wooden nightstand beside my bed, I flipped the picture face down so that I didn’t have to look at Jake and me. It was best not to think about things like that. If I did I was never going to get past not knowing for so long and I didn’t want to be
