Part 4:7
What he said was true!
“Are you a bit under the weather?”
I slipped the wallet back into his pocket, sizing him up.
He had a tall, slender frame. If he wasn’t so out of it, I would only be able to see his chin from this close.
His skin was tanned, and his nose was straight. He was really drop–dead gorgeous. “No, I’ve just been tricked,” he said.
I stopped in my tracks, helping him toward the bed. Was it too late to leave now?
As if he could read my mind, he suddenly grabbed my arm, pulled me close, and threw me onto the bed.
“It’s too late now,” he said.
I sprang up from the bed, but he pushed me back down.
“If you’re not planning to call off the wedding, could you do me a favor?”
What should I say??
I wasn’t planning to call off the wedding, but being with a guy I had just
mel…
“Great, you’re staying,” he said.
He waited for a bit, and it looked like he was sure about how I felt. Then
he didn’t waste a moment kissing me right there. Two hours later. I was rubbing my wrist, my eyes a bit red.
The guy who started all this was sleeping like a baby. What a jerk!
I grabbed the pillow, about to hit him, when there was a knock at the door. Then Freddy’s voice came through. “Samuel.”
