I was glad this week was halfway over. I didn’t know how much more I could take. My mind had constantly been on Lexi and the conclusion I had come to when out golfing with her father. I hadn’t been able to bring myself to call her over since, in my heart, I really didn’t want to break things off with her. Still, there was so much at stake, and our relationship had the possibility of completely taking down all of it .
I sighed and reached over to the side table next to the couch, where my phone was vibrating. Electricity fluttered through my chest at the sight of Lexi’s name on the screen. I didn’t want to take the call, but I knew ignoring her wasn’t an option .
“Hey,” I said, answering .
“Hey. I wanted to see if I could come by,” she said .
“Sure,” I replied. “The door will be open .”
“Okay,” she said. “Be there in five .”
When she walked in the door, I looked up from the sofa and smiled. She looked adorable in a pair of short knit shorts and a tiny T-shirt with a rainbow on the front. She pranced over into the living room and climbed on top of me, straddling me as she kissed my neck. I closed my eyes for only a second, realizing I needed to stop this before it got out of hand. I pulled her back by her shoulders and moved her to the side before standing up and taking a deep breath .
“What’s wrong?” she asked .
“Lexi,” I said, rubbing my face, “we can’t do this anymore. All of this is way too dangerous for everyone involved. When I went golfing with your father, he seemed so out of sorts, so worried about you on every level. He just wants what is best for you, and so do I. I want what’s best for all of us, and I’m afraid if we keep this up, we’re all going to get hurt. You need to listen to your father .”
“Hunter, where is this coming from?” She looked perplexed and hurt. “My father wants to control me. Just because he is my father doesn’t mean he is handling my life the right way. Threatening me with cutting me off if I date anyone is typical. He has ruled through fear my entire life, and I don’t care anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad, but he would have made a lot more sense if he would have talked to me on an adult, emotional level, not like he was the police .”
“I know,” I said, shaking my head. “But it’s not just your life that this has the possibility of affecting. Your father has been by my side for years. The last thing I want to do is see him hurt and betrayed. It just wouldn’t be fair to him .”
“Hunter,” she said, her voice lower, as she stood up and walked toward me, “I
