My grin is bright and wide as my kill cam pops up, displaying my last kill of the night as I take a bite of one of the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies Georgia made for me this morning.
“I needed this…” I sigh, spinning around in my seat to look at Oscar.
He’s running around the cage slower than normal, taking his time instead of being the weirdly overactive ferret that he is.
Hmm…I wonder if he needs a break, too.
I’m about to walk over and check on the poor albino ferret when simultaneous dings from my phone, laptop, and watch alert me of a new text.
Checking the time first, my eyes widen.Whoin their right mind is texting me at 3:00 a.m.?! Matter of fact…why amIup at 3:00 a.m.?!
It isn’t until I read the text for a second time that my eyes almost fall completely out of their sockets.
Heart
So…
How was the date?
Before I can reconcile with the fact that Hades himself is texting me about a date that he should in fact have zero knowledge of, my phone rings.
It fucking rings!
What kind of sick psychopath calls their ex-lover—if you can call me that—at 3:00 a.m. to talk about boys?!
I shriek as my phone clatters against my floor, jumping back from the sparkly case on the ground.
Just breathe, Sienna.
Think about what this could look like.
If I don’t answer, he’d get the wrong impression and think that I was with Aric…
But if I do answer, I look like a lonely sap who doesn’t sleep and can’t keep a date going—which I kind of am…but that’s besides the point.
Making up my mind, I decide that texting Jace back instead of calling would be the smarter option.
Me
I didn’t peg you for a stalker, Eros.
But then again, you rearranged my entire schedule so what would I know?
How’d you know about the date?
Heart
Answer the call
I’m craving to see the kind of guy who doesn’t give a fuck that you’re texting another man right now
Me
No.
Heart
So he’s a poly guy…
