“Oh, thanks” I never even thought about having their numbers. I only used the phone to take pictures and in case the preschool needed to get a hold of me.
“You should bring him over sometime,” Ty said.
I bit my lip to keep from saying anything. There was no way that I would bring him here, I wouldn’t make Eli lie about me to Max.
I’d told enough lies for several lifetimes and I wouldn’t subject Eli to that. I didn’t want him to become like me.
I looked away and pushed back on my chair.
“I need to-” My pad and pen slid down the table.
I looked to Ty, this time butterflies swarmed as I watched him smile. His eyes flicked down to my lips. He was thinking the same thing as me.
How my lips felt against his. How I didn’t know if I could forget the way they made me feel. How that one kiss could have possibly just turned my whole world upside down.
Chapter Eleven
I trained with Evan almost every day since that first time. It was always the same, me punching the pads but the only difference now was that I had gloves.
I was getting better. At least I thought I was.
As far as I was aware nobody knew what we did, and now that I was avoiding Ty I had an excuse to escape him and go and take my frustrations out on Evan.
It had been a week since the ‘bar incident’ and I’d successfully avoided him and all of his attempts to talk to me.
I didn’t want to face him, I didn’t want to listen to what he had to say or the rejection that he was going to give me. So I avoided him instead.
Evan had arranged for us to do some training before everyone else came into work. We normally did it during the day when everyone was out on jobs but he said that he wanted to start and do it before everyone came in, I’d asked him why but he fobbed me off.
I parked in my normal space and went into the warehouse. The lights were already on.
That should have been my first warning, I gasped when I lifted my head.
Ty stood in the middle of the training mats; feet apart, arms crossed and a fierce look on his face. I couldn’t stop my eyes flicking down to his arms and the tattoos that mesmerized me.
“Ty?” I croaked.
“Kay.” He nodded.
I moved closer, my brow furrowed.
“Ready for training?”
“What? I don’t-”
“You thought I didn’t know?” He chuckled. “Sweetheart, I know everything that goes on around here”
I stared at him in confusion, Evan had promised me that no one knew about our training.
“But-” I stumbled at the edge of the mat. How had he known? And more importantly, why was he here instead of Evan?
“Where’s Evan?”
“Out,” he grunted. I looked around, sure that Evan would come in any second now. I couldn’t trust myself around Ty. One touch and I’d melt into a puddle.
“I think I’ll…err…”
I felt him move closer and I lifted my head to meet his eyes.
