Interesting. I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand what he meant. I started typing, but another message from him appeared on my screen.
Do you really think I never noticed that you had a huge crush on me?
My cheeks turned red. I hated how cocky he got and still managed to make my heart do stupid little flips of joy. I bit the inside of my cheek and typed in a reply.
I wasn’t being that obvious.
Obvious enough to make me sense it.
But I’m glad you were so determined with your crush. Now you’re mine.
I laughed softly. Maybe I wasn’t as smooth as I wanted to be. But it wasn’t easy to look away whenever he stepped into a room.
I miss you, sweet girl.
My smile grew bigger as I read his last text, and for a moment, I forgot about all the things that were fogging up my mind. But I still needed time, and he knew that.
I miss you too.
Chapter 34
REMEDY
I slept surprisingly well last night, even with all those conflicting thoughts rushing through my brain. When I woke up this morning, I went to take a shower and put on the briefs and long-sleeve shirt Jagger gave me since I didn’t have clean clothes with me.
I should’ve thought of that. Should’ve asked Fender to grab my clothes from home so I had something to change into.
But what I had on worked out just fine.
I opened one of the drawers in Jagger’s room and pulled out white socks, and once I put them on, I headed downstairs to find him sitting at the small, round table with a cup of coffee in front of him.
“Morning,” I said, walking over to him to give him a hug.
“Good morning, sweetheart. Sleep okay?” he asked, wrapping one arm around my waist.
I put my arms around his shoulders and gave him a quick squeeze before walking over to the fridge to grab milk. “Yes. Better than expected. You weren’t here last night.”
“Uh, no. The guys and I had a long talk about everything that happened yesterday. Fender wanted to come by but I told him to give you the space you asked for.”
I smiled at the thought of Fender being frustrated at Jagger for not letting him come see me. I was liking this a little too much. Maybe I would let him suffer through this for a while longer until his possessive side came out again.
“Thanks, Jagger.” I took the milk and put it on the counter, then grabbed a cup and honey from the cupboard. I needed something soothing this morning, and a warm cup of milk with honey sounded just perfect.
“You wanna watch a movie today? Or do a full movie marathon?” Jagger asked, and I turned to look at him.
“Aren’t you going back to the club today?”
He shook his head. “Things are still a bit weird over there and Woodrow is all they want to talk about. I’m sick of hearing his name and being reminded of all the shit he did. Staying here with you for the day and watching movies for hours sounds better.”
I smiled. “Okay. We can do that.”
If Fender found out about our plans, he’d get jealous in an instant. Telling him that I needed space but then spending time with Jagger would set him off for sure. But something about that excited me. Then again, I didn’t have to tell him about my plans for the day.
I prepared my milk, then went to sit next to Jagger. The doorbell rang just as I pulled back a chair, and Jagger raised a brow, wondering who came to visit him so early in the morning.
He got up and pressed a kiss to my head, then instructed me to sit down and drink my milk.
I did as he said but listened in on the conversation once he opened the door.
