“Coming over?” I breathed out, my heart pounding hard against my ribs. Right now, I’d be lying if I claim to not be shocked out of my mind. I was just settling into the hotel I checked into when I started getting calls from Zane. The first call I got from him made my heart flutter hard, cause at that moment, I had been thinking of him. Then I felt irritated causes he literally bailed out on me, so I ignored all his calls till he texted me.

And now, he was apparently coming over.

“B- but why?” I asked, my voice sounding high pitched to my own ears as I sat up even more.

“Do I need to have a reason?” He shot back and I swallowed emptily, my heart pounding against my ribs. It was at the tip of my tongue to ask him to get lost. When I needed him throughout today at the wedding, he was nowhere to be found, but now he was calling me and saying that he was coming over.

However, after all that I went though today, I wanted a hug so bad. I wanted a lot more than that, but a hug would do wonders. I might refuse to admit it: I might still be mad at Zane, but I couldn’t deny that I wanted to see him right now. Just listening to his voice had managed to calm my unsettled thoughts a little.

“Bunny?” He called out and I swallowed emptily as my heart jumped right into my throat, and I had to get to my feet and start pacing around as I gripped the phone tighter.

“Don’t call me that anymore, we’re already done with our pretense, remember?” I mumbled, my voice sounding weak to my own ears.

He hummed and spoke again. “Where are you? Still on the island?”

I shook my head as I responded. “No, not anymore,”

“So, where are you?”

“In a hotel.” I muttered and he hummed again, the sound making my heart race. I had gotten so used to that sound that I was so certain I’d recognize it in my dreams.

“Give me the address.”

He didn’t even sound like he was begging a little, it was like an order, and I ended up rattling it off before I could stop myself.

“I’ll be there in a bit.” He said then the call disconnected, and I was left gaping at the phone while my heart raced hard.

I felt extremely shaken to the core, still unable to believe that call just happened. I had thought that
