“He’s capable of being the best person in the world. I’ve experienced it first hand and him bringing you here is just further proof of that. But that doesn’t negate the fact that he cheated. I can’t and won’t get over that.”
The door slides open again and I watch Rogue stride into the room, almost as if I summoned him. He comes to an abrupt halt when he sees my mom and I in the middle of the room.
He looks completely untamed, his hair disheveled and his eyes wild as they rake down my body, inspecting every part of me with a look that both checks for injuries and appreciates what he sees. My whole body comes alive at his perusal. I want nothing more than to step into his warm embrace and burrow my face in his chest.
But nothing’s changed.
“What are you doing here?”
My mom turns to face him, taking him in as he stands before her.
“I had to see you.” He answers, rubbing the back of his neck as he speaks. “I… They didn’t tell me how injured you were. Are you alright?”
I nod. “A few stitches but no concussion thankfully. You?”
“I’m fine.” He answers with a dismissive wave. “I was worried about you. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner, I just finished my statement and came directly here.”
He looks at me with such intensity in his eyes, I wonder if he can see into my soul. For an extended moment, we simply stare at each other, barely blinking. I can feel his gaze on me like it’s a physical touch.
My heart pounds in my chest.
My mom watches the silent exchange besides us, a bemused look on her face.
“Hi, I’m Trish. Rogue, was it? It’s nice to meet you.” She says, stepping towards him with her hand extended. He shakes it before reluctantly peeling his eyes off me and looking at her.
“Nice to meet you as well. I’m glad you could make it.” He says, giving her a warm smile before looking back at me.
“Thank you for bringing her. Truly, it means the world to me and I appreciate the gesture.” I tell him. “But please leave. I’m fine, I promise, but I honestly don’t want to see you right now.”
“I–,” He says, pausing to think about his words. “Alright. This isn’t over though.”
“It is over.” I retort without heat. “You made sure of that.” I look away from him, cutting off our connection.
I hear shuffling as he turns towards my mom. “You have my number if you need anything. Please don’t hesitate to use it.” He tells her before walking out.
I watch the door close behind him before my mom abruptly turns towards me.
“Bellamy, you didn’t mention how hot your man is. I meanwow, I need to know everything.”
I laugh in response as the nurse walks in with my discharge papers. “I’ll tell you.”
40.
Rogue
It’s been over a week since I saw Bellamy and I’m not waiting a fucking minute longer. I gave her her space, letting her enjoy her time with her mom, but now I’ve had enough. She’s mine and she won’t keep avoiding that reality anymore.
Her mom flew home this morning so I know she’s alone. I just have one obstacle to get through before I go get my girl.
I’m standing outside in the pen courtyard, waiting for her to come out. The doors open and she strides out without looking around her.
Perfect, just who I was looking for.
“Thayer.”
She lets out a blood curdling scream, clutching her chest as she turns to face me. When she sees it’s me, she bends at the waist, inhaling heavily as she tries to catch her breath.
“What is wrong with you? You can’t just sneak up on women like that, have you never watched an episode of true crime?”
