Chapter 20

Trix

I have a major sense of déjà vu when I wake up once again in Warren Knight’s bed.

But this time, instead of him getting mad and bailing, he comes in and places some clothes on the bed right alongside a tray of breakfast.

I sit up, grateful that I feel like myself again. My hair smells like smoke, and I have a headache from all the alcohol I consumed, but other than that, I feel good. At least my brain stopped tingling.

“Go ahead and eat, and there’s some aspirin for your head if you need it,” Warren tells me. “You’re welcome to shower and get ready. We need to leave in about an hour.”

I tilt my head curiously as I reach out and start guzzling the orange juice on the breakfast tray. “Where are we going?” I ask after a hearty gulp.

“You’re supposed to meet with Tonya today to take photos for the marketing campaign that you agreed to, remember?”

“I forgot about that. I better remind Blue.”

Warren shakes his head. “Harvey is already bringing her in.”

“Oh, okay.”

An awkward silence stretches between us as we look at each other.

Emotions swirl under my skin. Somewhere in all the time I spent watching Warren, I went past infatuation and straight into catching feelings without even realizing it. Seems silly that love is literally my job, and yet I didn’t even recognize it in myself.

I glance nervously at Warren, wishing more than ever that I could know what he’s thinking as he looks steadily back at me.

“You could’ve gotten really hurt last night,” he finally says.

There’s no anger in his face anymore, just stoicism.

“I know. I’m sorry that you have to keep saving my ass like that. I’m not used to…” My words trail off.

“Not used to what?”

“Life, I guess,” I answer in a small voice.

Something indecipherable crosses over his face before it disappears again, and he clears his throat. “Eat and get ready. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”

He walks out of the room, leaving me alone, and I sigh slightly as I look down at the breakfast. I don’t know how to handle my convoluted feelings for him, so I guess I’ll just eat. French toast doesn’t come with emotional strings. At least, not that I know of.

When I dig into the spread, there are no dainty bites or ladylike chewing. I gobble the shit like I’m a damn turkey.

But if I thought the food was good, it’s got nothin’ on Warren’s shower. I always knew it looked kickass, but that thing deserves an award.

It takes some serious self-control to pull my ass out from under the amazing streams of water and into a towel. I can’t help but look back longingly at the shower head as I dry off.

Digging through his drawers, I manage to find a small brush, and I comb out the tangles in my hair. The length of my hair only reaches my chin, but I don’t know what to do with it after I brush it, since Blue has done my hair for me for the past several days.
