I wish I knew, I really do.
“I don’t know. I never answer the calls if they’re unknown, you know that, but I just feel like I’ll never really be rid of him.”
Daniela bites her bottom lip, “How can you be when you’re still legally married? Do you think he wants you to sign divorce papers?”
I take in a deep breath, “I don’t know, and I’m afraid to find out.”
I loved Tony more than I loved myself, and he not only hurt me emotionally, but physically too.
The only thing I want is for him to be out of my life.
If I were to start divorce proceedings, or even sign paperwork, he’d know where I am and that’s the last thing I want.
Then again, he obviously already knows where I am.
Fuck, my throat tightens up just as I’m thinking about it.
It’s not only Tony and his calls, it’s the fear of even thinking I’m going to allow someone to get close to me again.
Daniela changes the subject and it shifts to a happier conversation, where she’s filling me in on everything she did when she was in Dubai.
As we sit here, sipping our cappuccinos, talking about her adventures, the door dings.
I immediately glance over, expecting a customer . . . but it’s not a customer who walks in my cafe.
It’s the man I was just talking about.
His eyes light up the moment they land on mine, “Hey, is now a bad time?”
I shake my head, “No, not at all.”
I can’t stop staring at his piercing blue eyes and his sexy smile.
It makes me think about the way he made me feel when he kissed me last week.
My entire body lit up with fire, and he made me feel like I was the only person in the world.
Once I got back in my apartment above the cafe, I knew it was a dangerous feeling.
At the same time, it made me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt since I left Tony.
I want to be cherished by someone again.
The tricky thing is, there’s a chance danger could come into my life with Python.
Then again, Tony brought violence into my life.
Python, though, he’s the kind of man I think would protect me fearlessly.
Tony isn’t that kind of man. He’s the kind who would leave me high and dry just to save himself.
Lowering my eyes, I notice Python has a couple of cardboard paper wrapped canvases. “What do you have there?”
He chuckles lightly and walks over, “Some stuff Oakleigh made. She finished them up a couple days ago, but got sick today. She was adamant they get to you today, and Razor got on her, told her to keep her ass in bed. She’s stubborn as hell,”
“Stubbornness is good. You guys need women like us in your lives,” I don’t realize what I’ve said until it passes through my lips.
Daniela can’t hide her amusement and stifles a laugh.
