But Fox said that was what he wanted. He wanted to get out of the MC thing and have a wife and kids someday. He said that, and he said he wanted those things with me.
And that he loved me.
I just had to trust in him, and I’d be fine.
People changed. I knew they did.
My phone rang for the millionth time in the center console, and I groaned looking down expecting to see Maddie or Blaine’s number again. They had called basically nonstop since I left.
But this time Fox’s name popped up. I hesitated, knowing he’d hear the emotion in my voice if I picked up, but I didn’t want him worrying about me if I didn’t.
“Hello.” I said, turning my music down and rolling my windows up.
“Where are you?” His voice was deep and commanding, I shivered as it ran down my spine.
“Driving around. Why?”
“Where, Delilah?” He snapped, and then sighed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Blaine just stopped by the club, screaming at me for-.” He groaned and I imagined him walking around with his hand tousling up his hair over and over. “He said you took off, upset and that he hasn’t been able to reach you for hours.”
“I’m fine, I just wanted to clear my head.”
“Where are you?” He asked again, “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I don’t know, Fox. I guess I just wanted some… space.”
“Space.” He whispered, sounding pained by it. “From me?”
“No.” I shook my head and hit my fist against my steering wheel. I was so exhausted from the emotional turmoil, and I needed to go back home and go to bed, but I didn’t want to face my brother just yet.
Not after what he said to me.
And not after what I said back to him.
“Let me make this better for you, baby.” He said softly and I groaned, wanting to give in to the comfort he offered.
“Okay.”
“Go home, and I’ll meet you there.” He said quickly, like he was excited I was letting him in.
“Do you think that’s best? With him so mad?”
“I don’t care what he wants, you’re a grown ass woman and he’s not your daddy.” He grumbled, “He’s going to have to get used to the idea of us together, because I’m not fucking going anywhere unless you tell me you don’t want me. And even then, I’m probably not going to just give the fuck up on you. I love you.”
“I love you too.” I sighed and laid my head against the headrest. “Okay, I’ll be home in about an hour.”
“I’ll meet you there.” He hung up the phone and I tried to ignore how angry he sounded when he talked about Blaine.
I hated that I may have been the cause of a rift between them, they’d been friends for years, but I wouldn’t lie and say Fox wasn’t worth a little disturbance to our everyday life.
When I got home an hour later, Fox wasn’t there. But Maddie was.
She flew at me the second I walked in the door and wrapped her arms around my neck. “I’m sorry.” She whispered and sighed as I hugged her back.
“I know.” I replied heavily. “He deserved to know, just not like that.”
