I smile at the memory of nanna’s famous apple pies.
“I miss her,” I admit, showing vulnerability.
“I know you do babe. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be. Do you know how happy it makes me to know this?”
“She showed me pictures of you growing up.”
I cover my face with my hand as embarrassment takes hold. Please not the baby pictures. I couldn’t live it down for months after nanna showed Saint and Colton. The assholes took pictures of my bare ass and put it on Instagram for fucks sake.
“No she didn’t. Please tell me she didn’t.” I groan.
She inclines her head laughing wildly. “Oh she did. I’ve seen your naked ass more times than I can count now.”
“That so.” I tease tickling her ribs.
“Caleb,” She giggles wildly wriggling out from my arms but I pull her back into me.
“It’s my turn to ask you something and this time I want to know the truth. Can you give me that?”
She stiffens at the tension in my words.
“I’ll try. What do you want to know?”
“Who’s max?”
Taking a deep breath she answers.
“Max is my boyfriend, sort of,” she quickly corrects.
“Your ex you mean?”
“Um not exactly, no.”
What the fuck does she mean not exactly? I’m starting to get pissed off now. I thought we were clear on where we were going, especially after telling her how I feel about her. I know she feels the same.
“Jordin,” I say, but it’s more of a warning. I thought we had just gotten past all the bullshit. “Your ex you mean?”
The moonlight shines on her beautiful face when she pulls away from me to sit up against the headboard.
“I don’t want to talk about this. I can’t, not with you.”
“Why not?”
She doesn’t answer but I need to know.
“Just tell me do you still love him?”
He’s a dead man walking either way but there’s something in the way her body tenses that tells me there’s a hell of a lot more to the story than she’s letting on.
I sit up to meet her at the headboard, “It’s not a difficult question, Jordin. Do you still love the guy or not?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Then why won’t you tell me?”
Shame washes over her features. That bastard hurt her. I knew something happened between them and I won’t stop until I know what he did. She looks away from me and out towards the window to the moon that’s bright in the sky.
