TWENTY-SEVEN

RYKER

“I’ll be right back,” I tell Cal. He’s mid-conversation, going on about how talented his new private chef is, but I can’t pretend I’m even listening for another second.

Cal gives a dismissive wave of his hand, not seeming to care that I wasn’t paying attention. He continues to rattle on about his new chef as I follow the path Camille just went.

My steps are hurried as I follow her. I catch up just in time to watch her open the door to the bathroom. She disappears behind the door before I can get her attention.

I stop next to the wall. It might be creepy of me to do so, but I’m going to wait for her to come out. She’s avoided me all morning, then she had the nerve to show up today. She’s going to have to face me. If she didn’t want to talk, then she shouldn’t have shown up today.

The moment I left her room last night, I missed her. I felt guilty for running out of there so quickly. I wanted to stay, but she hadn’t asked me to. I didn’t want her to know that all it took was her dry-humping me and coming around my fingers to make me come. That felt like I was giving her a lot of power, something I wasn’t willing to give her. I wasn’t positive she wouldn’t use it against me.

I immediately hopped in the shower and washed the proof of what had happened. I didn’t want to smell like her, and I had to get the proof of how desperately I wanted her washed from my body.

I tossed and turned all night in bed, wondering if I made the right decision. I felt guilty for leaving her room like that. What if I’d asked to stay? What if I just told her how badly I want her and how much she consumes my mind? Would that make her stop pretending to not like me? Would she open up more?

Those questions plagued my mind all night. By the time I woke up, I was determined to try and make it right. I got her breakfast and the coffee I’ve heard her order countless times, hoping maybe that would erase my mistake of running out on her last night.

It didn’t.

And I don’t know if I can even blame her.

I check the watch on my wrist, wondering how long I’ve been lost in my thoughts. It feels like she’s been in there forever.

Maybe I should check on her?

Since I’ve been standing here, no one’s gone in. I think she’s in there alone, but I don’t know if I should go in or not.

I sigh, leaning against the wall and deciding to wait another minute. I use the time to think about what I’m going to even say to her. The first thing I should probably do is apologize for running out on her. Or maybe I shouldn’t? Do we talk about what happened last night at all? We probably should.

I let a few more minutes go by before I decide I have to check on her.
