Chapter 27

Kincaid~

While Fox was on the phone with his dad, I called mine. However, it wasn’t for him to help me. It was to confess and let him know that everything had been taken care of.

Apollo’s been avenged.

“Honey, I got your text,” he said as soon as he answered. “Are you okay? Were you stranded long?”

“Long enough, Dad,” I replied, and he must have heard the truth in my voice because he got really quiet on his end. “Dad?”

“What did you do, honey?” he finally asked.

“Everything’s been taken care of,” I told him. “It’s over.”

Choosing his words carefully, he said, “I’m glad to hear that. I’m just…upset that you had to deal with that on your own.”

“Luckily, you taught me well,” I replied. “I’m fairly certain that the car is completely fine now.”

“Maybe I should just get you a new one,” he replied. “Once one thing starts to go wrong on a car, everything starts to go wrong.”

“It was just a flat tire, Dad,” I pointedly said. “And it was fixed by roadside assistance.”

“I don’t care,” he bit out. “I’m getting you a new car. End of story.”

“Dad-”

“I’ll be there tonight,” he continued. “We can go shopping in the morning for a new one.”

“Okay,” I quietly agreed, knowing there was no point in arguing. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Kincaid?”

“Yeah, Dad?”

“I love you,” he said, and my eyes started to water. “Nothing on this earth is more important to me than you and your mother. So, don’t feel bad about me rearranging my morning to get you a new car, okay?” I had to take in a deep breath to steady my emotions. “Okay?”

“Yeah, okay,” I replied. “Thanks, Dad.”

“I’ll see you in the morning.” He hung up before I could say anything more.

Tossing my phone on the bed, I went to the drawer to grab some underwear. I’d rather not fight with Fox while dressed in only a towel, so I needed to get dressed. However, since I was in for the night, I’d opted for panties and an over-sized night shirt to complete the look.

Grabbing my phone again, I sent Saxton a text.

Me: Since ur 1st class isn’t until 1, want 2 go car shopping w/ me tmrw morning?

SaxyV: Car shopping?

Me: Yes, w/ my dad

SaxyV: Can’t wait

I let out the deep breath that I’d been holding in, happy as fuck that Saxton could read between the lines.

Me: Call u n the morning

SaxyV: (thumbs up emoji)
