"Am I getting predictable?"

I nod.

"Even so, the offer stands."

"I accept."

Joel and I spend the entire day watching Harry Potter movies. We only get up to make dinner, or maybe it's a late night snack.

We're in each other's arms the entire time, but when I go to bed, he doesn't invite himself.

He stays on the couch.

And I toss and turn…

Until I give in to all that desire racing through me and stroke myself to orgasm.

That knocks me out.

I sleep like a log, but when I wake up alone, I feel… well, alone. My eyelids flutter closed. I want to go back to bed.

But my phone is ringing.

And it's ringing in the main room.

And it's a familiar song.

The one I set for my dad.

Shit.

I get out of bed and find my cell charging on the floor. Joel stirs from his spot on the couch.

I grab the phone and bring it back to his room.

Call from Chase Home. It's the landline.

Fuck.

I bring the phone to my ear. "Hello."

My dad's voice booms through the speakers. "Isabella, who the hell is this Joel Young you've married?"

14

Bella

My stomach drops. Already, my legs are wobbly.

Dad knows.

I'm going to throw up.

Or maybe I'm going to fall down first.

That would be a hell of a rock star wife way to go, falling face-first in a pile of my own vomit.

I press my back into the wall, but it doesn't give me the stability I need.
