New York

Well, I'll miss you.
Text me when you're back, and we can hang.
Blake
Okay.
Kass
And if you need someone to help you get off while you're bored in the hotel room at night, you know who to call. ;)
Blake
Haha. We'll see.
Something seems off,but I can't quite place it. Everything went fine at the farmer's market today. We had a good time, or so I thought. Toward the end, I was pretty distracted by my contemplation over letting Jade see Clover. Did I miss something that happened then?
Shit. Maybe she wants to see other people while in New York. We never talked about being exclusive. I didn't want to scare her off. How would I feel if she hooked up with someone else on her trip?
A wave of nausea rushes over me, and I have to sit on my bed before I lose my balance. It's not the thought of her sleeping with someone else that bothers me. It's the thought of her sleeping with someone else and never coming back to me. What if she's done with me? What if she got what she wanted this weekend, and now she's readyto go off on another work trip and do what she always does—ghost and move on.
Absolutely not. She's too far under my skin and in my bones for this to be over.
I'm not going to let her run away from this.
Chapter Twenty-Two
B
A knock on my hotel door wakes me from a sleep that I'm pretty sure could have lasted all day, had I been left undisturbed. I grumble as I throw the duvet off me and slowly get up on my feet.
"This better be important. I was sleeping."
I open the door and see my boss, Daniel, standing there with Fia. "Good morning to you too, sunshine."
I panic a little and grab Daniel’s wrist to check his watch. "It's only 10:00. I thought we didn't have to be at brunch until 11:30?"
Daniel shoves his way past me, Fia following behind him. "Well, if you had answered my calls, you would have known that brunch got pushed back to noon."
"That doesn't explain why you're barging into my room two hours early."
"We're going to grab drinks before, now that we have a little extra time. I’m desperate for a bloody mary after last night."
I grumble. "I’ll pass. You guys go without me, and I'll just meet you at brunch."
"You'll pass?" Daniel steps toward me and places his manicured hand on my forehead. "Are you unwell?"
I swat his hand away. "I'm fine. Just tired."
"Did those Wonder Woman shots get the best of you last night?"
"No."
"I think it was the hot bartender she brought home with her last night that got to her,” Fia teases.
