I’m back in hell.
Because Hayden is the devil.
I read the messages from him, and my gaze gets wider and wider with each one until I’m sure my eyes are going to fall right out of my head.
Hayden: I’m going to assume by your lack of response that you’re provoking me.
Hayden: It needs to stop.
Hayden: Still no confirmation? Tsk. Tsk. Maybe you were flirting with me.
Was I? With the alcohol warming my blood, it’s hard to recall my intentions from earlier today, but I can’t deny that I wouldn’t have minded if Hayden had flirted back. Obviously, that was too much to hope for. Given his high-handed manner, provoking him was my main goal when I turned off the phone.
And boy, did it work.
Hayden: Either way, our relationship is strictly business and it needs to stay that way.
Hayden: I want your agreement on this, Miss Green.

Hayden: You didn’t answer my texts and now my call is going straight to voicemail…
Hayden: I am not a patient man. Don’t test me.
Hayden: You’re definitely testing me.
Hayden: Trust me when I say you won’t like the results.
Hayden: Callie, are you hurt?

Hayden: I received confirmation that you are at work, Miss Green.
Hayden: Now that I know you’re safe, my temper is rising.
*missed phone call from Hayden Bennett.
Hayden: Your shift at the coffee shop has ended, so you don’t have any excuses for not returning my calls or texts. At this point, an electronic affirmation will not be enough to satisfy me. I’ll receive it in person.
My hands start shaking so badly that I almost drop the cell phone. Then I do when another text comes through. The device clatters on the table, and I snatch it up, ignoring Harper’s stare drilling into the side of my head.
Hayden: Enjoying your night out, Miss Green?
Calista: Yup. TTYL.
