Chapter Twenty-Six

KANDY

Cane ordered room service for lunch. Hot sandwiches and Mountain Dew were on the menu and I was glad he’d remembered my favorite soda.

There was a reason I’d taken so long to meet him at the gas station. I had contemplated before going. I literally paced my dorm room, after pretending I didn’t feel up to par to shop with Morgan and Gina, debating whether or not to meet Cane. I weighed the pros and the cons repeatedly, and somehow the pros outweighed them.

I met him because I knew I would regret not going to see him. It was a good thing I showed up when I did too. I could tell he’d gotten tired of waiting.

We lounged around on his bed, the perfect lazy Sunday. He’d answered a few business calls, but I didn’t mind. I was just happy to be around him.

“So how was it your sister’s idea for you to come here?” I asked when he sat in the chair across the room. I was laying belly-flat on the bed, my phone in hand, waiting for an email to show up to tell me my grade for a quiz we had the past Friday.

“Oh.” He smirked, spreading his legs apart and sliding his palms over the thighs of his pants. “Well, she’s the one who told me about the seminar. I’ve told her quite a few things about you. She’s also a persistent little shit, kept pushing me for answers. I told her what school you went to, how I’d probably never see you again because you were so far away, and the whole thing with your parents knowing.” He shrugged. “Then, a couple weeks later, she tells me about the seminar, and how they were looking for business owners to come speak and share their personal success stories.”

“Really?” I smiled, amused.

“Yep. She sent the link to me in an email, but before that she signed me up without my permission. I was annoyed at first…but the idea of seeing you again grew on me.” He laughed. “If you can’t tell, my sister is fascinated with the idea of you. She also doesn’t care about consequences.”

“I can see that,” I laughed with him. “Why is she so fascinated?”

“Because for one, she knows you are years younger than me. She also got a kick out of the whole best friend’s daughter thing—said it sounded like something out of a book or from a soap opera.”

I grinned. Now that I thought about it, it did seem like it.

“And also because there are times when she’ll catch me thinking about you,” he continued, voice softer.

“How?”

“I don’t know. Just by little things. Like over dinner with her and my mother. I’d space out a little, and somehow she just knew who I was thinking about. She said she’d never seen ‘love’ on me before. Apparently to her, love looks weird on me.”

I broke out in a laugh, dropping my phone and sitting up. “Is it true that you love me that much?” I asked, my voice gentler.
