Chapter Nine

A new day brings the day that Travis I have arranged to go out to dinner … a none date, date.

Date … that word holds so many meanings; an invitation, a promise, an expectancy, an effort.

All of the above valid reason for going on a date. Even if it’s a none date, date. But with a new day, brings a new mood and I don’t want to go.

Not because it’s with Travis. No, it’s because I’m confused.

I’m confused about my feelings towards Ryder. I’ve listened to everything Travis has said about him, and I’ve seen first hand how evil he can be. Yet, I can’t help but feel drawn to him.

I’m also confused if I should tell Travis about what’s happened with Ryder? I know I decided to keep him following us home the other night to myself. But how he saved me from those men last night ... can I honestly keep that from him too? Should I keep that from him, or should he know how Ryder saved me? That, if it wasn’t for him then I’d probably be dead.

However, with how much he despises Ryder, I can’t imagine that he’ll see the good in what he did by saving me. Everything is just lies and deceit when it comes to that man with him. No, I’m best just keeping my mouth shut. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. I’ll only end up hurting his feelings for not keeping my promise of staying away from him … even if on both occasions Ryder came to me.

As the day winds on, I toy with the idea of calling Travis and cancelling. But who am I kidding? I’m not the type of person to let people down. Never have been, so don’t plan on starting now. Anyway, it might do me some good to get out and have an evening like a normal person, instead of finding myself in some kind of trouble. The things that have happened to me in the short time I’ve lived here … you can’t even make it up.

I catch up with phone calls to my parents and Becca. Between them, they keep me on the phone for hours so the time ticks by quickly. I keep details of life here brief. They wouldn’t understand and would only freak out if they knew the truth of whats happened while I’ve been living here. Also, they’d try to convince me into moving back home to Newthorpe. Something I can’t ever imagine doing again.

The evening draws in and I get ready for my date by having a shower and getting changed. Reaching into my closet I take out a long black backless dress. Pulling it on, it matches my dark smoky eyes and glossed lips. I keep my hair simple with long loose curls cascading down my back. Some sparkly jewellery and strappy black shoes finish the look.

Just because we’re not going on a ‘proper’ date, doesn’t mean I don’t make an effort. I enjoy
