Chapter Fifteen

Tristan

Why did I think I needed to come so early?

I sigh, glancing at the time and realizing I still have another thirty minutes before I’m supposed to pick up Chloe. I’m sitting just up the road from her house because I don’t want to show up this early. To make it even worse, I’ve already been sitting here for twenty minutes.

It’s ridiculous, I know. I’m entirely too excited about going out with her. What can I say?

I’ve loved our daily phone conversations, but there’s just something different about sitting across from someone and talking. Call me old-fashioned, I don’t care. Plus, who wouldn’t want to stare at her gorgeous face for hours on end? I know I would.

My phone rings, and glancing down at it, I see it’s Ryder.

“Hey, Ry.”

“You’re sitting down the road from her house right now, aren’t you?”

I can hear the laughter in his voice, and I grimace. He knows me entirely too well.

“What makes you think that?”

Ryder laughs. “You forget that you’re always sharing your location with me. I’ve been staring at the dot sitting there for at least ten minutes.”

I don’t correct him on how long I’ve been sitting here. He doesn’t need to know. “So what?”

“Just call her and see if she’s ready, baby. There’s no point in sitting down the road when you could be out with her.”

“But isn’t that a little presumptuous?”

I can practically see him shaking his head at me. “Call Chloe, baby, or I’m going to call her for you.”

“I hate you,” I tell him, nerves rolling through me.

“No, you don’t. You love me.”

I scoff. “You don’t have to be so smug about it, but you’re right. I love you, and I’ll call her now.”

I don’t bother waiting for him to respond as I end the call. If I don’t, he’ll just keep giving me shit. I love him, but he definitely likes to push my buttons. I take a deep breath before clicking on Chloe’s name.

“Hey, Tristan!”

I melt into the seat, eyes falling shut at the sound of her voice. “Hey, little witch. I’m sorry to bother you, but it seems that I might have misjudged the amount of time it would take to get to your place. I’m sitting just up the road, and I was wondering if—“

“You better drive your little angel butt over here right now. I’ll leave the door unlocked. I’m almost done getting ready.”

I chuckle. “Yes, ma’am.”

Chloe’s laughter rings through the air, pulling another smile from me. “I’d apologize, but I doubt it’s the last time I’ll be bossy. It’s a hazard of teaching teenagers.”

“Okay, sweets. I’ll see you soon.”

“Byyyyeee,” she sing-songs before hanging up the phone.

I put my SUV into drive and head for her place. I shoot Ryder a text once I’m in her driveway to let him know I love and appreciate him before putting it on silent. I know my mate, and he’ll spend the whole date calling and texting if I let him. To say that he’s smitten with our little witch is putting things lightly.
